🎙️“The encouraging part is that there is a role for the microbiome, which we can harness to improve disease or to predict disease.” — Dr. Mahesh Desai

In our latest podcast episode, host Brett Drummond speaks with Dr. Mahesh Desai from Luxembourg Institute of Health and Dr. Ashutosh Mangalam from University of Iowa about the growing evidence that the gut microbiome plays a meaningful role in multiple sclerosis — influencing immune regulation, disease susceptibility, and progression.

The conversation highlights why translating microbiome research into clinical insight remains complex, and why simplistic ideas of “good” and “bad” bacteria often fall short. Together, they explore microbial function, host–microbiome dialogue, and why diet and personalised approaches may be central to future MS interventions.
