In this episode, hosts Reed Davis and Dr. Gonshor dive into a fascinating study on how microbiome diversity protects against pathogens through nutrient blocking. Dr. Gonshor elaborates on recent research highlighting the dynamic nature of gut microbiota and its protective role by edging out disease-causing microorganisms via competition for nutrients.
