41 - Invisible Extinction of The Human Microbiome with Steven Lawrence
In this week’s episode of The RHR Podcast, entitled “Invisible Extinction of The Human Microbiome”, I interviewed film producer Steven Lawrence about his documentary movie called “The Invisible Extinction”.
Steven's ability to understand the science, but portray it in an entertaining way makes the film a very easy, but informative watch. After watching the movie myself, I really wanted Steven to share the very important information about the human microbiome, the overuse of antibiotics and Faecal Microbiome Transplants (FMTs).
