🔹 About This Episode:
What if the future of longevity isn’t another supplement—but a genetically engineered probiotic? In this episode of The Longevity Podcast, I sit down with biotech innovator Zack Abbott to explore the cutting-edge science behind engineered microbes that can convert sugar into fiber and help break down toxic alcohol byproducts before they impact your body..
We discuss how these next-generation probiotics work, why Bacillus subtilis is such a powerful delivery vehicle, and how advances in biotechnology could transform gut health, metabolic resilience, and microbiome diversity.
