Gut Health and Longevity: The missing link to healthy aging | The Source Podcast | Ep. 9

Janine Barlow, SIRIO's Head of R&D, sits down with Dr. Richard Day, VP Medical Affairs at ADM, to explore what your gut actually has to do with how long you stay healthy, not just how long you live. In this episode, we unpack why longevity is really a conversation about healthspan, when in life you should start thinking about your microbiome (his answer: the earlier the better), and why the gut-brain axis is, in Richard's words, the most exciting part of science right now. We also get into the most misunderstood areas of gut health and where the supplement industry is overpromising - including why "a postbiotic for everything, or a probiotic for everything" is, as he puts it, outdated and unsubstantiated. Whether you're in nutrition, supplements, healthcare, or simply paying attention to where health and wellness is heading , this episode is worth your time. 👉 Subscribe and follow the series for more conversations with industry experts, practical insights, and a closer look behind the scenes of the nutraceutical world. 🎧 Follow the podcast on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ZWqFh6vxb0CntyNwpHZA5 🎧 Follow the podcast on Apple Podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-source-from-the-brand-behind-the-brands/id1841871595 #TheSource #CDMO #Nutraceuticals #Podcast #Supplements #Innovation #SIRIO
