Dr. Supriya Rao and Dr. Naresh Gunaratnam examine dysbiosis, the imbalance that develops when the gut microbiome falls out of healthy equilibrium. They discuss what dysbiosis actually looks like inside the gut, how a loss of microbial diversity impairs normal function, and why diet, antibiotics, infections, and chronic stress are among its most common triggers.
That imbalance can weaken the gut barrier and make it more permeable, allowing bacterial toxins and food particles to cross into the bloodstream. This causes an immune system response, producing the chronic, low-grade inflammation that links dysbiosis to insulin resistance, metabolic disease, and autoimmune conditions.
Join Dr. Gunaratnam and Dr. Rao as they discuss practical, sustainable steps for restoring gut health, from increasing fiber and fermented foods to managing sleep and stress, and explain why small, consistent changes tend to matter more than dramatic resets.
