A phrase we live by - “always listen to your gut.” Our guest on today’s episode can attest to that. In fact, much of her life is very much dedicated to that. Jessie Hoffman, PhD, RD, is a Registered Dietitian and Assistant Professor at Winthrop University in SC. As a human microbiome researcher, she has several publications mainly focused on the interactions between diet, environment, and the gut microbiome. Today, Jessie enlightens us with answers to all our most burning GI questions (no pun intended), from probiotics and if eating sugar produces toxins, to the gut-brain axis. Thank you for listening!
