Targeted Probiotics for Strength, Muscle Gains, Hormone optimization, and endurance with Anders Corbett from Craft Microbiome
Looking to gain muscle, optimize testosterone, growth hormone, and improve strength and endurance? Doing everything right and still a “hard gainer?” Could a missing link be the bacteria in your gut?
Lifting weights, eating right, getting good sleep are all part of the picture for optimizing our physique, energy output, and building muscle and resilience. However, what if it’s not the full picture?
In today’s podcast with Anders Corbett, co Founder of Craft Microbiome, we dive super deep on the science of targeted human strain probiotics for building strength, Muscle, boosting hormones, and recovering faster:
Targeted human Strain probiotics for muscle gains, strenGtH & Endurance

podcast topics & outline
Today’s podcast with Anders Corbett is super interesting because it suggests certain human traits like building muscle, optimizing testosterone and growth hormone, and recovering faster are transferable via targeted strains of probiotics!!
Anders is a microbiome scientist whose work aims to advance the customizable nature of human bodies through athlete derived athletic probiotics. He is a former Fellow in Genetics in the Church Lab at Harvard Medical School, recipient of a National Science Foundation Research Fellowship and USA National Team athlete in Rowing.
