Bioavailability vs. Microbiome Availability

Welcome to the Evolution of Medicine podcast! On this episode, James sits down with Dr. Tom Guilliams, who had our most-downloaded podcast of the year in 2019. Dr. Guilliams talks about a topic most clinicians have strong opinions on: bioavailability. With a background in molecular immunology and extensive research on nutrition and dietary supplement efficacy, Dr. Guilliams brings a unique and refreshing perspective to functional medicine clinicians of any discipline who are trying to get the best results with their patients. Highlights include:

• Bioavailability and the new science on what that looks like in the era of the microbiome
• How traditional herbal preparations can maximize microbiome availability
• How attempting to replicate the pharmaceutical model for dietary supplements has brought us to opposite conclusions simultaneously, and how this will be a refreshing conversation for the new decade
• How researchers are devising new ways of thinking about how evidence works in the evaluation of non-drug therapies
• The questions practitioners who want to maximize dietary supplement effectiveness should be asking
• And so much more!
