Diabetes: Optimize Gut Microbiome Through Diet

Diabetes: Optimize Gut Microbiome Through Diet

In today’s episode, we are honored to have Dr. Karen Corbin. Dr. Corbin will discuss optimizing gut health through diet, especially in the context of diabetes. Tune in for valuable insights that bridge the gap between research and real-world applications in the realm of nutrition and health.


Clinical Translational Scientist at the AdventHealth Translational Research Institute focused on advancing gut microbiome and human metabolism research. Founder and Chief Geek at Geeks That Speak with a mission to elevate the voices of scientists through scientific storytelling.


“... The bottom line is that we are the ones that feed the gut microbes. So it goes into our mouth, most of it gets absorbed in the small intestine, and that's where most of the magic happens in the body. But there's a small percentage, which we control based on our food choices, that ends up making it all the way down the gut to the colon, where the microbes can ferment those foods and perform various functions. So diet is by far the most fundamental way that we as humans impact those gut microbes every single day, because we all got to eat at least once or twice a day.” On This Episode You Will Learn -
