What if the secret to strong bones starts in your gut?
We often think of bone health as something controlled by minerals or exercise, but there's a bigger player at work: your microbiome
The bacteria in your gut don't just digest food—they influence inflammation, immunity, and even the balance between breaking down and building up bone.
In this episode, I sat down with Kiran Krishnan, research microbiologist and co-founder of Microbiome Labs, to unpack how gut health, skin health, and systemic inflammation all tie into your bone strength.
You'll learn how your gut microbiome helps regulate the immune system and inflammation, why skin and bone health are more connected than you might think, and practical ways to support your body’s natural systems for better health.
