In this episode, Host Dave Asprey and microbiome expert Hannah Kleinfeld break down the hidden gut science behind GLP-1 drugs, ADHD, HRV, histamine intolerance, SIBO, and why most probioticsyou'retaking areprobably deadbefore they even reach your intestines.

Hannah Kleinfeld is the co-founder and COO of Omni-Biotic US, a Yale and Harvard graduate, and a certified health coach whose personal battle with Lyme disease drove her deep into functional medicine and microbiome science. Omni-Biotic is the number one probiotic brand in Europe, used in hospital systems alongside antibiotic treatment, and is now bringing that clinical-grade research to the US market.

Dave and Hannah go deep on the gut-brain axis, thevagusnerve, and how dysbiosis drives everything from brain fog and poor sleep optimization to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and compromised mitochondria. They cover how GLP-1 drugs slow gut transit time and trigger secondary dysbiosis, why most capsule probiotics rehydrate in stomach acid and fail, how short-chain fatty acids like butyrate cross the blood-brain barrier to regulate neuroinflammation, and how your gut bacteria directly control your heart rate variability, hormones, libido, and skin. This is biohacking your biology from the inside out, and it goes far deeper than supplements and fasting.

You'llLearn:

• Why GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic create secondary dysbiosis and what to do about it
• How gut inflammation suppresses HRV, disrupts sleep, and accelerates aging
• Why most probiotics rehydrate in stomach acid and never make it to your intestines
• The gut-brain connection behind ADHD, brain fog, anxiety, and mood disorders
• How dysbiosis sabotages weight loss by skewing Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratios
• What thevagusnerve has to do with stress resilience and mitochondria health
• How to support your microbiome through antibiotics, travel, and SIBO recovery
• The histamine problem hiding inside popular probiotic strains
• Why the first1,000 daysof a baby's life shape lifelong immunity and HPA axis function
• How targeted probiotic formulations are changing functional medicine
