Biome Breakthroughs

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, affects millions and is often mistaken for IBS. It leaves patients stuck in cycles of bloating, discomfort, and uncertainty. In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, Shaina and Jason explain the IBS and SIBO connection, what drives hydrogen and methane SIBO, and how the gut microbiome plays a much larger role in SIBO treatment than many realize. It is a conversation that blends clinica...

Autoimmune diseases reach far beyond the physical body.

In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, Shaina and Emma talk about what it’s really like to live with autoimmune disease, and why so much of it begins in the gut. Emma shares her own experience, six years into her diagnosis with rheumatoid arthritis, and it’s not the kind of story you usually hear in medical discussions.

At Novel Biome, we’ve found that autoimmune diseases are...

Osteoporosis is a condition that touches millions of lives, often in ways that people only notice when it is too late. In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, Shaina and Jason share a surprising study that explores how the gut microbiome may help protect against osteoporosis. It is a story that brings science and lived experience together, showing how something deep inside the gut can shape the strength of our bones.

The research u...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affects millions of people, often leaving them caught between painful symptoms and treatments that do not always last. In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, Shaina and Jason break down why Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is becoming one of the most promising options for IBD, and specifically ulcerative colitis.

You will hear how FMT restores balance in the gut microbiome, why donor quality ...

In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, we take a deep dive into the world of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with a special focus on ulcerative colitis (UC) and explore why fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is being called the next big breakthrough in gut health.

For many patients, standard treatments such as steroids, immunosuppressants, and biologics eventually lose their effectiveness or create difficult side effects. But...

In the early days, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was done in tiny back-office “labs” with basic tools. Today, advanced donor banks, oral capsules, and extended treatment protocols are transforming outcomes for chronic gut-related conditions.

In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, we break down exactly how to design an effective FMT protocol from pre-treatment and loading doses to extended maintenance and lifestyle chang...

Why do powerful stem cell therapies lose effectiveness over time? The answer could lie in the gut microbiome.

In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, we explore the clinical connection between fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) and stem cell therapy, and why these two regenerative approaches may work better together. As gut health becomes a cornerstone of personalized medicine, more researchers and doctors are uncovering the gut’s p...

Think you’re healthy because you “feel fine”? You might want to listen to this.

In this episode of Biome Breakthroughs, Dr. Tracy Gapin, longevity expert and founder of the Gapin Institute, dives deep into the often-missed factors limiting men’s health: gut integrity, hormone balance, chronic stress, and poor sleep.

We explore:

• Why high-performing men often have hidden health issues
