S1 E4, Part 2: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - discussion

In the second part of this episode, Will and I talk about a bunch of stuff:

• How nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is reported on / presented in the news and social media
• Why there is such a “paucity of studies” looking at the relationship between diets, the microbiome, and disease
• The gut-brain connection
• Bacteria don blue or red jackets as they do their best to adapt to their changing environment

This episode is actually a peek into how our conversations go in general, that is, in and out of the lab: I ask a ton of questions, often seemingly random, and Will answers them, and always understands where I’m going with my seemingly random questions.

If you would like to learn more about the gut-brain connection or are just curious about the Pizza Bagel jingle I reference, I have provided some resources in our show notes. Check them out at the Gut Questions? podcast website under “Show Notes" → www.yourgutquestions.com/show-notes

If you would like to learn more about this project, the subsequent publication from this project is posted on the Gut Questions? podcast website under “Show Notes" → www.yourgutquestions.com/show-notes
