#173 Navigating the Science of Gut Health Testing: Dr. Megan Rossi in conversation with Adrienne Adhami - REPLAY
Modern Wellness PodcastShow Notes
With our focus on the Oral Microbiome in this week's episode, we thought for our Wednesday bonus we'd look back to our episode with Dr Megan Rossi, queen of the Gut Microbiome where she joined Adrienne to discuss the current state of gut health testing and its potential, explaining the nuances and limitations of commercial gut health tests.
Dr Megan Rossi (PhD, RD) founded The Gut Health Doctor in 2017 with a dream to empower everyone to take control of their health. As a scientist and practising clinician, she became frustrated that the ground-breaking research from her team and other colleagues around the world wasn’t reaching the public. Instead, dangerous myths and fads shared online were negatively impacting on the wellbeing of her patients.
Her new business Smart Strains aims to revolutionise how people understand and use live bacterial supplements. Through this game-changing range, she is empowering everyone to care for themselves and their families, providing the right strain, at the right time, in the right way – and only when you need it. With an award-winning PhD in probiotics and a family of products that use only the strains backed by international health bodies, Dr Megan Rossi is bringing credibility and clarity back to live bacterial supplements.

The facts of the story remain unclear, but as flu season is approaching - should we be taking better precautions? And more generally, there's a wider conversation about our exposure to news, and how that can affect our daily lives.
Today we're joined by Eamon Lloyd, VP of Partnerships at Wellhub, to unpack the findings from Wellhub's Fitness Business Growth Report 2026.
First we start with the news that Dyson has launched a £420 toothbrush that films ‘live cleaning footage’ inside your mouth. The toothbrush will clean, floss and even spray tiny jets of mouthwash, but it’s an eye-watering amount of money for a mouth-watering piece of kit. What do the team reckon? Read more here.
