Feeling bloated or having skin challenges? You are not alone!
One of the keys to improve all of this is through the microbiome. A subject that is gaining a lot of attention these days.
Therefore I got Medical Doctor Ulrik Hjerpsted for this episode of the podcast. He is the founder of the Copenhagen Center of Functional Medicine. Over the past 10 years, Ulrik took a step further into functional medicine and especially the microbiome.

In this episode you will learn about:
- Frameworks to evaluate if an initiative works
- Why Ulrik and I always look at our poop 😂😂😂
- Initiatives to start today
- How getting poop from another person might help you lose weight
- Why doing the fundamentals is more important than the newest hack
- Common misunderstandings about the microbiome
- Whether or not to do a microbiome test
- Ulriks' top habits
