Episode notes

Featuring: Candace Cham, PhD, University of Chicago Medicine

The GI Research Foundation was able to produce this podcast with sponsorships from Metro Infusion Center.

Dr. Cham is an immunologist and chief investigator for the Chang Lab at the University of Chicago. She received a 2025 Annual Grant Cycle award from the GI Research Foundation for a study testing whether adding a fiber supplement called inulin can improve gut health—even while eating a typical Western diet—by restoring healthy gut bacteria and tracking changes using a new gut health scoring tool.
