After exploring the foundational concepts behind the microbiome’s role in IBD in a previous episode, our guest, Dr Richard Hansen returns to take us straight into the world of microbial therapeutics. From dietary interventions to faecal microbial transplant (FMT) and next-gen probiotics, he unpacks how these approaches can reshape the gut and offer new hope in treating IBD. The episode wraps up on a creative note with Dr Hansen’s original guitar performance and Dr Coelho’s poetic piece, ‘The Reverse Jobbie’- a slang-infused cheeky nod to the concept of FMT.
