Episode 65: Gut Instincts: Using AI to Decode the Microbiome with Omer Ozkan
In this episode of The DNA of Things, Dr. Jeremy Koenig dives deep into the invisible ecosystem shaping our health with Omer Ozkan, founder and CEO of ENBIOSIS. Originally an industrial engineer who launched Turkey’s first solar energy company, Omer is now at the forefront of AI-driven microbiome science. This episode unpacks how understanding and modulating our gut bacteria—rather than fighting them—could be the future of medicine, chronic disease prevention, and even human adaptation to future climates and space.
With insights from evolutionary biology, personalized nutrition, and systems thinking, Omer reveals how his company uses artificial intelligence to decode the microbiome’s language—offering evidence-based, individualized interventions for conditions like IBS, IBD, and more. This episode isn’t just about gut health—it’s about reimagining healthcare, resilience, and human longevity through data, philosophy, and precision nutrition.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- 🧠 The gut microbiome is not the enemy—it’s our operating system, shaping everything from digestion to mental health.
- 🤖 AI is enabling precise, scalable modulation of gut bacteria through targeted nutrition, replacing outdated “kill the bugs” approaches.
- 🧬 Chronic disease may be a signal of disrupted microbial communication, not just broken systems.
- 🌍 Omer’s vision includes adapting human health to future planetary challenges, using microbiome science to extend life and support survival in extreme conditions.
- 🚀 Digital fecal transplants—without the poop. ENBIOSIS matches individuals to optimal microbial profiles via AI-driven diet plans.
- 🧪 Real-world clinical success: measurable improvements in microbiome balance and long-term symptom relief in IBS and other conditions.
