Measuring Metabolites of Dysbiosis and Gut Function to Create Targeted Interventions

As we gain insight into microbiome impact on our health, we need accurate tests that tell us not only what and how much is there, but also which metabolites, or post-biotics created that can have downstream effects. So today I’m thrilled to welcome the brilliant Dr. Erika Ebbel Angle from Ixcela to discuss their metabolomic testing that can do just that. They've created a fingerstick blood test used to evaluate the functionality of the gut and today we discuss the 11 key markers, the value of a blood sample over urine, and the impact of endurance sports and chronic stress on health markers as revealed by the test.
We also chat about my own results, how impressed I was by the insight provided - and how they clearly identified changes I could make to improve my markers. Listen and take notes - I know I did! ~DrKF

How does Dr Kara Fitzgerald do it? She keeps finding new people and new information. I saw Erika on a Ted Talk years ago but it's nice to see and hear her one on one. Keep up the good work Dr Fitzgerald.
