Today, I’m excited to have Dr. Tracey Beaulne ND, R. AC, join the podcast for an important discussion on gut health and the microbiome. With nearly 20 years in integrative healthcare, Tracey is a leading figure in cutting through the noise to uncover valuable health truths.
Alongside the University of Toronto’s Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy and Genuine Health, Tracey co-created and hosts Town Hall Medicine, a platform where she chats with microbiome science experts to explore their research and share insights with anyone interested. She also helped establish The Tummy Clinic, which brings together a team of ‘gut strategists’ from different fields to offer clients the most thorough and coordinated care for IBS.
In our conversation, Tracey shares her personal health journey, how it led her to naturopathy, and her experiences with IBS. She also talks about her views on lifestyle medicine and the importance of planetary health. We dive into topics like what the microbiome is, current research, how she became interested in this area, and the effect microbiomes have on our health. Tracey explains why maintaining diversity in our microbiome is crucial, how this relates to her work, and the broader implications for human health. We also discuss factors affecting microbes, ways to prevent digestive disorders, the benefits of regenerative farming, and insights from studies on fecal transplants and stool sample testing.
