In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Dr. Kiran Krishnan joins our host Dr. Ted Achacoso to give one-cent solutions to life’s $64,000 questions that include:

• What are the most exciting clinical developments in the field of gut microbiota and probiotic supplementation?
• How do outer membrane vesicles violate the dogma that bacteria and human cells should not communicate directly? 
• Why is the gut microbiota now considered an organ in the body that is postnatal, or an organ that grows right after birth?
