It's been called our \"second brain\" — as it might be one of the most underrated players in your metabolic health.

Dr. Sharma breaks down the science — and separates what's proven from what's just probiotic marketing.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/84_Xx67R-y5RLPLUedlP0dxOXEsNMlayNHxEIsdGYqo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84ZGE2/M2Q3YjY4YjYxY2E1/ZWRlMzNmNTA0MmIx/ZmE0MS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
