In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Alex Martinez, CEO and founder of Intrinsic Medicine, who shares his journey from a corporate attorney to a leader in the field of gut health and immune function. The conversation delves into the significance of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and their role in modulating the immune system and gut microbiome. Alex explains the mechanisms by which HMOs influence health, their potential in treating chronic diseases, and the importance of safety in pharmaceutical development. The discussion highlights the need for innovative approaches in medicine and the promising research surrounding HMOs. In this conversation, Jade and Alex Martinez delve into the world of bioidentical compounds, particularly focusing on human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and their clinical implications. They discuss the safety and efficacy of these compounds, the ongoing clinical studies, and the potential impact of 2-FL on pediatric health, especially in relation to inflammatory bowel disease. The conversation also explores the gut-brain connection, particularly in Parkinson's disease, and the challenges faced in functional medicine treatments. Alex shares insights on the future availability of these innovative treatments and emphasizes the importance of dietary fiber in health.
