Gut Testing Revolution

In this week’s episode, Sara sits down with Cheryl Sew Hoy, CEO and Founder of Tiny Health, the leading at-home microbiome health platform designed to optimize your gut and vaginal microbiome through all stages of life.

When Cheryl’s daughter developed severe eczema and food sensitivities, she did what so many parents long to do—find the root cause. That journey led her into the science of the gut microbiome, and eventually to founding Tiny Health, a platform that now helps tens of thousands of families access advanced, science-backed insights to support lifelong wellness.

You’ll learn:

• Why the first 1,000 days of life are a critical window for gut development

• How antibiotics, birth method, and diet can shape a child’s lifelong health

• What parents need to know about supporting the gut microbiome in babies, kids—and themselves

• The importance of “testing, not guessing” when it comes to chronic conditions, inflammation, and overall health

• And how Cheryl’s background in tech and entrepreneurship helped her turn cutting-edge science into practical tools for families

“We don’t have to wait 10–15 years for research to catch up. Tiny Health gives us the tools to take action now—with data, not guesswork.” – Cheryl Sew Hoy
