298 Dr Jason Hawrelak is a research scientist, educator, naturopath and Western herbalist with more than 18 years of clinical experience. Jason practices at Goulds Natural Medicine, a 136-year-old natural medicine apothecary and clinic located in central Hobart. He did his Honours and PhD degrees examining the causes of dysbiosis and the capacity of probiotics, prebiotics and herbal medicines to modify the gut microbiome and has written extensively in the medical literature on these topics – including 16 textbook chapters.

He is on the Medical Nutrition Council of the American Society for Nutrition and was recently awarded a Fellowship from the American College of Nutrition for his significant contributions to the teaching and practice of nutrition in Australia and North America. Jason is also a Fellow of the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia. He is Chief Research Officer at ProbioticAdvisor.com, which offers a searchable database that enables easy, evidence-based prescribing of probiotic products and online resources for clinicians, and health-conscious members of the public, to learn more about the human microbiome and how they can positively influence these ecosystems.

In this episode, we cover:
  • What the faecal microbiome is made up of
  • What faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is
  • The history of FMT. Its use dates back to the 4th century in China and the 1950s
  • Why it shows promise in inflammatory bowel disease
  • Its impact on Parkinson's' disease and Alzheimer's
  • The protocol/experience for patients and donors
  • Jason's clinical experience with FMT and diet post-FMT
  • The Healthy Gut Practitioner course (Naturopathic & Functional Medicine Approaches for GI Disorders Course). A course I am extremely excited to begin. See show notes for a special offer for the Love & Guts practitioner audience
