Chronic Fatigue & the Gut Microbiome: Interview with Ken Lassesen, Microbiome Prescription

Описание: In this episode of Spoonie Radio, Dr. Courtney Craig interviews Ken Lassesen, creator of YT channel Microbiome Prescription and author at CFSRemission.com.
This episode was originally recorded in September 2019.

Ken shares his decades-long journey with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and how each of his recoveries are linked to changes in his gut microbiome.

We discuss:
The role of stress, infections, and antibiotics in triggering microbiome dysfunction
How gut shifts can drive symptoms—even without digestive problems
The importance of strain-specific probiotics and targeted microbiome analysis
Why symptom-based treatment may be more effective than diagnosis-based approaches
His AI-driven tools for turning microbiome test data into actionable insights

If you’ve ever wondered how microbiome health connects to ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, brain fog, and post-viral illness, this interview is packed with evidence-based strategies and fascinating research.
