Bioavailability vs. Microbiome Availability
Welcome to the Evolution of Medicine podcast! On this episode, James sits down with Dr. Tom Guilliams, who had our most-downloaded podcast of the year in 2019. Dr. Guilliams talks about a topic most clinicians have strong opinions on: bioavailability. With a background in molecular immunology and extensive research on nutrition and dietary supplement efficacy, Dr. Guilliams brings a unique and refreshing perspective to functional medicine clinicians of any discipline who are trying to get the best results with their patients. Highlights include:
Bioavailability and the new science on what that looks like in the era of the microbiome How traditional herbal preparations can maximize microbiome availability How attempting to replicate the pharmaceutical model for dietary supplements has brought us to opposite conclusions simultaneously, and how this will be a refreshing conversation for the new decade How researchers are devising new ways of thinking about how evidence works in the evaluation of non-drug therapies The questions practitioners who want to maximize dietary supplement effectiveness should be asking And so much more!Resources mentioned in this episode:
