Dr. Andrea McBeth is a Naturopathic Doctor and Scientist with a passion for shifting perspectives toward microbiome-centered health.
As a licensed N.D. in Oregon and Washington, her clinical care focus is functional gastrointestinal and autoimmune issues. In conjunction with the functional medicine practice, she runs Flora’s stool bank that provides Fecal Microbiota Transplant for the treatment of resistant Clostridium difficile infection as well as head our investigational science applications for other microbiome therapies.
Just as climate change is ravishing the Earth's biodiversity, so too, our microbiomes are being decimated by Western lifestyles. Standard American diets, overuse of pharmaceutical medications, beauty products, and the loss of everyday interactions with natural soil and plant microbes are all contributing to this loss. She believes that our approach to saving our health and planet will need to be as multifaceted as the ways in which we are destroying it.
