Sisters and co-founders Hannah and Lena Kleinfeld share how Lyme disease, European microbiome medicine, and motherhood led them to bring Omni-Biotic’s (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY) targeted probiotics to women in the U.S.
We unpack why women experience more gut issues than men, what “gut health” actually means, and how stress, antibiotics, C-sections, and even travel shape the microbiome across our lives and our children’s lives.
As moms themselves, they talk candidly about C-section guilt, baby probiotics, and rebuilding your gut after birth or antibiotics, plus practical protocols for long trips to places like Costa Rica and Mexico so you can enjoy travel without wrecking your digestion.
