I start off my presentation on dementia with two powerful case studies. They are both elderly patients with dementia, who underwent a fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) due to C-diff infections....
We all experience emotional stress at some point, if not many times, in our lives. And chronic stress is worse. We also know there is a connection between stress and...
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Yes, I know, that´s a mouthful. Well, this bacterium literally is the superhero of the gut, with a better data profile than any other critter down there. You...

My primary roles centered around product and protocol development, clinical and research expert, VIP care, practitioner patient care support, clinical trial work, data analysis and lecturer. After years of listening to patients, practitioners and others tell me that the work that I’ve done is astonishing, and that I should be a household name, I’ve decided to go out on my own.
