Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Dysbiosis Index, Chronic GI Disease & the Future of Microbiome Medicine with Dr. Jan Suchodolski
Q: What are practical steps for clinicians when using the Dysbiosis Index in practice?
Use the index as part of a multimodal approach, starting with diet optimization, consider repeated FMT protocols for severe dysbiosis, and educate owners that treatments may need to be repeated and tailored over time, not a one-off solution.
The Dysbiosis Index, Chronic GI Disease & the Future of Microbiome Medicine with Dr. Jan Suchodolski
Q: How should clinicians interpret the index in relation to chronic GI disease phenotypes?
Some dogs with chronic GI disease show clear dysbiosis while others do not; the index helps distinguish these phenotypes, informing prognosis and indicating when mucosal dysfunction may be driving disease beyond microbiome alterations.
The Dysbiosis Index, Chronic GI Disease & the Future of Microbiome Medicine with Dr. Jan Suchodolski
Q: How is the Dysbiosis Index developed and what makes it different from other microbiome assessments?
The index is built on identifying key bacteria that change with disease, validated across multiple large cohorts, and then integrated with a mathematical formula to predict the overall microbiome shift, rather than simply listing numerous taxa.
Past the Buzzword: What the Gut Microbiome Is Really Telling You — Dr. Holly Ganz, AnimalBiome
Q: How do you decide between an FMT approach and using capsules or supplements?
They discuss the ecosystem view: choose methods based on the patient's core microbiome gaps, tolerability, and the goal of engraftment, with a preference for approaches that balance the ecosystem rather than targeting a single pathogen.
Past the Buzzword: What the Gut Microbiome Is Really Telling You — Dr. Holly Ganz, AnimalBiome
Q: What was your journey like into microbiome research and founding AnimalBiome?
Dr. Ganz explains her shift from academic work to translating microbiome science into practical therapies, including the development of FMT approaches for pets and the belief that returning key gut bacteria can dramatically alter disease trajectories.
