The Turd Nerds interview fellow naturopathic physician, friend, and scientist, Dr. Andrea McBeth, the CEO of Thaena, makers of the one-and-only ThaenaBiotic®. Here, the Turds dive into the data behind this human-derived postbiotic supplement crafted from healthy donors' microbiomes. Unlike typical probiotics, ThaenaBiotic® delivers a rich array of microbial signals without live bacteria, aiming to support gut balance and resilience. Join us as we pick Dr. McBeth's brain to uncover more about the clinical utility of this product and how the Turds have used it in their practices. Curious about the science?
