Gut Health Unlocked: Microbiome Maxxing + the Power of Bitters w/ Tina Anderson & Kiran Krishnan

 

It’s always a party when gut health power duo Tina Anderson and Kiran Krishnan from Just Thrive return to the show. In this episode, we explore how true wellness starts in the microbiome—and why fixing your gut could be the key to everything from mental health to metabolic resilience. Kiran breaks down the science behind the gut-brain connection, explaining how neurotransmitters, hormones, and even your stress response are impacted by what’s happening in your digestive tract. We also tackle the biggest threats to your microbiome—from antibiotics to glyphosate—and why even “healthy” habits like hand sanitizer and over-cleaning might be backfiring. Plus, Tina and Kiran share practical, affordable lifestyle upgrades that don’t require fancy biohacking gadgets or pricey supplements. Whether it’s intermittent fasting, getting dirty in the garden, or walking with intention, these tips help build resilience from the inside out. If you’ve ever wondered how your bacteria might be running the show—or want simple strategies to support your gut without breaking the bank—this one’s for you.
