Anders Corbett: On “Crafting” Your Gut Microbiome, Probiotics, and Hormone Optimization | TUH #233

About this video

Brecka interviews Anders (Andrew) Corbett, who claims the gut microbiome can be deliberately ‘crafted’ — sequencing a person’s own bacteria and reintroducing selected strains to target goals from athletic performance and hormone-related outcomes to eczema, gut inflammation and mood. Corbett recounts, in his account, livestock and self-experiments and work in genetics settings, and Brecka proposes a small informal trial with his own members. Brecka links the idea to his methylation work, noting gut bacteria help produce neurotransmitter precursors, as they discuss it.

Key takeaways

• Corbett claims a person’s own bacteria can be isolated and reintroduced selectively, in his model
• He argues gut changes can precede symptoms by years, as he presents it
• Brecka claims gut bacteria help convert amino acids into serotonin and dopamine precursors
• Corbett says for inflamed guts his sole focus would be calming inflammation with benign strains, in his approach
