Episode Details

Welcome to Episode 307 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

Many children struggling with neurological, immune, behavioral, and developmental challenges also show signs of significant microbiome disruption.

Jason Klop from Novel Biome joins the show to explain why the microbiome may play a foundational role in overall health and why restoring missing microbes is becoming an increasingly important area of research and clinical care.

As the CEO and Founder of Novel Biome, Jason has spent years focused on fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), donor screening, microbial diversity, and the emerging science behind rebuilding the microbiome.

In this conversation, we explore the connection between the gut and the brain, why probiotics often fail to create lasting change, what engraftment means, and how restoring microbial diversity may help support healthier immune and neurological function.
