Interview with uBiome Gut Microbiome Testing & Analysis, CEO Jessica Richman
On our Biohack Your Life Conference visit to San Francisco we were lucky enough to come across a very innovative company called uBiome who are sequencing the human microbiome (bacteria). What 23&me did for DNA, uBiome are doing for the microbiome. Essentially, uBiome will enable you to see what bacteria are living on and in various parts of your body including the gut, nose, mouth and genitals.

Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Meat: A Guide
An important health consideration is the issue of grass (pasture) vs grain fed meat (lamb and beef). It’s widely promoted in the various paleo communities that ruminant (grass-fed) meat is a superior choice nutritionally, we’re going to run through:
- What you should look for to make sure you’re getting the right meat
- Why it's so important for you
- Where you get it from!
To buy grass fed butter in an affordable way (without spending $7-8 per block on something that says "grass fed" on the label) is an exercise in risk management. The risks are that the cows could get fed grain:
- As their primary food source
- As a backup food source (in winter or drought when there's no grass)
- As a treat to produce their milk
So the trick is to find products that tick (or don't tick) the above boxes.
