What’s My Microbiome Again? - Branded episode with Yakult.

This episode of What’s My Age Again is a little bit different - Katherine isn’t revealing anyone’s biological age - but instead, revealing the secrets of our microbiomes and bunking myths about our guts.  It’s all thanks to our friends - and friendly bacteria - at Yakult sponsoring this episode. 

 Katherine and Dr Nichola Conlon are joined by award-winning nutrition scientist Dr Emily Prpa. In addition to holding a PhD from King’s College London, Emily also boasts a near-perfect gut-biome score so we know she practices what she preaches.  

 Dr Emily calls herself a ‘friendly neighbourhood food detective’, who specialises in studying how different foods can make our bodies and brains feel their best, cutting through the noise to provide simple tips to improve our everyday wellbeing.  

 This episode on gut health is so much more than a science lesson - expect to hear about how kissing swaps bacteria, babies eating charcuterie, how one woman ‘cured’ her mental health conditions with her husband’s poo, why a c-section won’t harm a babies microbiome, oh - and what on earth a crapsule is.  

  Thank you very much to our friends - and friendly bacteria - at Yakult for sponsoring this episode.
