90% of your happiness starts in your gut and scientists are finally proving it
We discuss how soil health impacts human microbiomes, why modern processed foods strip away good bacteria, and how the gut–brain axis connects digestion, mood, and overall well-being.
In this episode of Desci Pilled, Ryan sits down with Kishore Kumar, a molecular biologist and co-founder of MicrobiomeDAO, to explore how decentralized science and AI can reshape the future of gut health.
Kishore shares his journey from big pharma and academia to citizen science, and why most probiotic products and health apps don’t truly solve the root problems.
We discuss how soil health impacts human microbiomes, why modern processed foods strip away good bacteria, and how the gut–brain axis connects digestion, mood, and overall well-being.
Kishore also introduces Biome AI, a tool that turns complex microbiome reports into simple health insights, and the playful “Poop-to-Earn” project that gamifies gut health tracking with NFTs.
