About this listen

To what extent can we change the state of our gut microbiome? In an episode centred on the beginning and end of life, Giles hears of some innovative and controversial studies. How is the bacteria in your gut established by the way in which you’re born?

Maria Gloria Dominguez Bello from Rutgers University describes her experiments of introducing babies born by C-section to bacteria from their mother’s birth canal. Dr Claire Steves from Kings College London who researches the microbiome and dementia, reveals how the gut may affect how we age.
