A healthy gut microbiome lowers our risk for disease and helps maintain overall health. So, it’s critical for all of us to nurture our distinct microbiota. This episode of the Advance Rutgers podcast is the second in a two-part microbiome mini-series. In it, Professor Liping Zhao, Eveleigh-Fenton chair of applied microbiology at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, explains why not all sources of dietary fiber are created equal. He also shares how feeding the microbes in his own gut helped him overcome obesity, the simple steps we all can take to improve the health of our microbiome, and how the Rutgers University Microbiome Program will help transform the lives of generations to come.
