The Microbiome and Your Inner Ecosystems with Ara Katz, Co-founder of Seed

In this episode I sit down with Ara Katz - co-founder of Seed Probiotics; a brand I have been curious about ever since I started taking their products for the first time several years ago.

In this episode, we dive deep into what a microbiome is, how we can nurture our own in more simplistic and substantial ways, and the importance of doing so in order to enhance our physical and emotional wellbeing, including our gut health and immune systems.

We talk about approaching illness and unrest in a more open and wholesome way; exploring nourishing ways to keep well and to heal the body, instead of searching for quick fixes or temporary pain reliefs that could disrupt the equilibrium of the body.

We also discuss how being in nature and / or around animals can create microbial diversity, and we touch on our modern habits that could be disrupting and stripping us of bacterial diversity; such as antibiotics, household cleaning products and more.

In this episode, we touch on:

• What is a microbiome - the lost organ
• The importance of bacteria diversity for our bodies' functionality
• How to work with probiotics and avoiding misuse
• Navigating communicable diseases and understanding antibiotic resistance
• How to enhance our microbiome through diet and exposure to healthy and diverse ranges of bacteria
