What You Can Learn From A Stool Microbiome Test with Cheryl Sew Hoy | MGC Ep. 93
Manage episode 485536890 series 2979501
Can a simple stool test help uncover the root causes of gut issues — and guide you toward better long-term health? That’s the bold promise behind Tiny Health, the microbiome testing company founded by Cheryl Sew Hoy.
In this episode of The Mind-Gut Conversation, Dr. Emeran Mayer sits down with Cheryl to unpack the science behind gut and vaginal microbiome testing, and why she believes personalized microbiome care is the future of health — from infancy to menopause.
They explore the origins of Tiny Health, how it compares to other microbiome tests, and the growing scientific evidence linking stool microbiome profiles to immune health, chronic conditions, and even recovery after antibiotic use.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
• How Tiny Health’s test differs from other commercial gut tests
• Whether stool testing can detect signs of “leaky gut” and chronic gut inflammation
• What role the microbiome plays during menopause and how women can take proactive steps
• Why Cheryl believes testing can be useful even for those without symptoms
• The evidence behind Tiny Health’s recommendations — and what makes them actionable
Whether you’re struggling with gut-related symptoms or simply curious about optimizing your health (or your family’s), this episode delivers practical, science-backed insights.
Note: Dr. Mayer is a medical advisor to Tiny Health.
