In this episode of the Immunity Group Australia podcast, we dive deep into the fascinating world of the human gut microbiome—its resilience, vulnerabilities, and crucial role in our overall health. Joining us is David Spadaro, science communicator for CSIRO’s microbiome research group, and Dr. Azadeh Safarci, a leading microbiome researcher at CSIRO.  

Together, they explore the latest breakthroughs in microbiome science, the impact of antibiotics and lifestyle factors on gut health, and how a balanced microbiome contributes to immunity, metabolism, and disease prevention. Dr. Safarci also shares exciting news about her newly published paper on the effects of antibiotics on the gut microbiome, potential biomarkers for gut health, and dietary interventions to promote microbiome resilience.
