Ep 79 - Cheryl Yeo - Cracking the Code of Gut Health with Probiotics & Fiber

Probiotics, fiber & microbiome

Summary:

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Cheryl Yeo, a Ph.D. in Food Science and Nutrition, researcher, and founder of iAM Health. Cheryl has spent years exploring how micronutrients and gut health shape our wellbeing, building on Dr. Linus Pauling’s vision that “optimum nutrition is the medicine of the future.” Her work bridges deep science with practical tools for everyday health, moving beyond symptom management to uncovering—and addressing—the real root causes.

Together, we demystify the microbiome—what it actually is, why it’s so critical for health, and how probiotics, prebiotics, and fiber all interact in ways that can either strengthen or disrupt our bodies. We breaks down the science with simple, memorable analogies and shares research backed insights into why not all probiotics are created equal.

We also tackle common misconceptions: why antibiotics may not always be the quick solution, how gut imbalances can show up as skin conditions, allergies, or even mood changes, and why prevention is far more powerful than chasing quick fixes. Cheryl offers practical strategies for daily wellness from choosing the right probiotic strains to weaving more fiber into your meals—that can help restore balance and resilience from within.

If you’ve ever wondered how your gut health connects to your energy, immunity, or even your mood, this episode is for you. Cheryl’s perspective is both deeply scientific and refreshingly down to earth, and it just might change the way you think about your health.

Tune in, stay curious, and discover how the path to lasting wellness starts with the invisible ecosystem inside you.
