Ever gotten your gut test results and thought… “What am I even looking at?” Between bacteria names, charts, and scores, you’re left scratching your head (or butt!)—with no clear answers, no next steps, and definitely no plan that’s personalized to you. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Alex Mohr, Director of Microbiomics at Theriome and a leading expert in functional metagenomics—the science of decoding not just which gut microbes are there, but what they’re actually doing. Here’s what we cover: - How digital twinning—a virtual model of your body built from your biological data—could let you “test drive” interventions before trying them in real life - What makes or breaks your sample quality—swabs, wipes, scoops, and how to get it right - What my own test revealed about microbe variety, digestion, and ecosystem resilience - Why most gut tests miss the big picture—and how taxonomy-based reports fall short Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/theriome Additional Resources: Ben Greenfield Life Website: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/ Ben Greenfield Life Podcast: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/podcast/ Ben Greenfield Books: https://shopbengreenfieldlife.com/collections/books Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bengreenfieldfitness/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BGFitness X https://twitter.com/bengreenfield TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@bengreenfield
