Season finale warning that will blow your butt off,but.. we might have just the treatment in mind. This week we interviewed the brilliant Dr Katie Guzzetta, former UCC PhD student and current Harvard visiting research fellow. One big paper from her PhD was published in one of the biggest journals in the world where she found that giving old mice a 'fecal implant' from younger mice rejuvenated them! What!!! We go through the study, talked about how the hell this even works, what this means for the future of aging and answer the question if you should be freezing your poo for future you!

Thank you everyone for supporting the podcast - we just passed 10'000 listens and we are so proud of how the project has done and we are so grateful to each of you! See you soon :)
