I never expected to record a podcast episode entirely focused on “poop transplants”. But after running a complete fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) protocol myself, testing before and after with gut tests and food sensitivity data, and seeing how much things shifted, it became clear that this topic of fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) needed a deeper look.
In this episode with Jason Klop, founder of Novel Biome, we break down what FMT actually involves, how it has moved from invasive or unpleasant hospital procedures to odorless capsules you can take at home, and why FMT is now showing up in conversations around gut health, mood, immunity, and cancer support.
We get into:
- How FMT works, and why donor screening is so strict that fewer than 1% qualify
- Why oral capsule protocols now outperform enemas for C. diff, a difficult gut infection often triggered by antibiotics, while making microbiome therapies far easier to access
- What the three-phase protocol looks like in practice, including why you stop antimicrobials and most probiotics during treatment
- How the gut-brain axis connects to mood, neurotransmitters like gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and behavioral shifts
I also go through my own results, including major shifts in key bacteria, elimination of a drug-resistant Klebsiella strain, and roughly an 80% reduction in immunoglobulin A (IgA) food reactivity.
If gut issues keep coming back no matter what you try, or if food sensitivities, bloating, and poor recovery still show up despite dialing in diet and supplements, this episode gives you a clear look at a tool that is becoming more widely used in practice.
