🇬🇧 #17 - Gut microbiome: support your immunity, mental health, and cancer risk - Prof. Joël Doré

Épisode de Healthier Humanity par Alan · 3 décembre 2025 · 1 h 21 min

🤔 What if billions of microorganisms living in your gut held the key to your health? What if your microbiome could predict how you’ll respond to cancer treatment? Can we really transform our health by feeding the bacteria we carry within us?

🎙️ These questions are no longer science fiction. Professor Joël Doré unveils this revolution in a new episode of Healthier Humanity.

👨🏼‍⚕️ A pioneer in gut microbiome research, Professor Doré reveals the secrets of what he calls “the forgotten organ” — the 50 trillion microorganisms we live with in constant symbiosis. A research director at INRAE and the scientific director of Metagenopolis, he has spent more than 40 years exploring this fascinating ecosystem, back when the field was seen as exotic. Today, his work is reshaping our understanding of the links between the microbiome and many chronic, neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric diseases. A visionary entrepreneur, he co-founded MaaT Pharma, which develops groundbreaking microbiome therapies for oncology, and leads the French Gut, an ambitious project to map the diversity of the French microbiome with 100,000 samples by 2029.

🦠 In this episode, he unpacks the striking connections between our microbiome and diseases as varied as metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative conditions, and even cancer. Far from simplistic takes, Professor Doré explains how this “invisible partner” influences our mental health, our response to cancer treatments, and how we age. He shares breakthrough advances in fecal microbiota transplants, a therapy opening promising paths to treat many conditions. He also calls out the real enemies of our microbiome — especially antibiotics and ultra-processed foods — and gives practical ways to protect it.

Professor Doré demystifies the complex world of probiotics, explains why the Mediterranean diet is a scientifically validated option, and shows how the microbiome could predict our response to cancer immunotherapy. He also shares his vision for the French Gut, a citizen-led project that lets everyone contribute to research while discovering their own microbiome.

💚 A conversation as instructive as it is inspiring for anyone who wants to understand this invisible microbial world and optimize their health through it.
