  • Brilliant content

    Great evidence based podcasts. I have learned a tonne. As an ophthalmologist, most of the content are exciting and interesting. Would be great to hear more about microbiome on the eye. The best thing about this podcast is that it is not trying to sell any product nor are they trying to please their sponsors. They do not need to sensationalise facts to draw more listeners in as they do not have sponsors for the podcasts. Please keep up the amazing work.

    I’m a huge fan of this podcast. It’s inspiring to hear all the emerging science and the important voices on this topic. As a steward of antibiotics, it makes the work I do feel more relevant than ever but more importantly this is a fun way to take in the microbiome topic.

    I loved the time travel episode!! Thanks for doing this work!

  • I’m obsessed.

    I have been an avid podcast listener for many years and this is the first time I have been compelled to write a review. As a fellow LM professional, I am grateful for these two doctors for bringing high quality and honest reviews of the microbiome research.

    This is so well done. I recommend starting at Episode 1 to get a solid foundation of the microbiome. The learning takes off from there.

    Enjoy!
