Mahmoud Ghannoum, PhD has spent his entire academic career studying medically important fungi encompassing different fungal pathogens including candida, aspergillus, and cryptococcus, the major causes of fungal infections. He is the author of the new book Total Gut Balance: Fix Your Mycobiome Fast for Complete Digestive Wellness.
What you'll learn from this episode:
The fungal component of the human microbiome that Dr. Ghannoum has coined the mycobiome.

The two secret ingredients that Dr. Ghannoum says can help fight candida—a fungus commonly present in the human body that can bring on thrush, yeast infections, and digestive problems if it grows unchecked.
How a poor balance of fungi in the mycobiome can lead to weight gain, pain and bloating, and low energy, and can worsen symptoms for those with IBS or Crohn’s disease.
How food, exercise, sugar, artificial sweeteners, and more affect the health of your mycobiome, and what you can do to quickly course correct an imbalance.
