The Story Behind This Resource Hub
This hub was inspired by real-life conversations and everyday interactions.
As a scientist specializing in probiotics, I often share advice on gut health with colleagues, friends, and even people I meet during commutes—Uber drivers, fellow travelers, and curious strangers. Their enthusiasm and gratitude motivated me to create a platform where anyone can access evidence-based information about probiotics and microbiomes.
Friends and family frequently seek my advice on probiotics for digestive issues, travel-related health concerns, and even pet health.
Once, I recommended a probiotic product to a friend, only to find her doctor later prescribed the exact same one!
Another time, a friend's dog was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. I suggested trying a pet probiotic, and to my amazement, the dog fully recovered within a week. I even received a heartfelt thank-you card from my friend's furry companion.
Creating this health hub has given me a meaningful way to address common concerns and share reliable, science-backed solutions with a wider audience.
My Professional Journey
I'm Chitra Wendakoon, based here in Austin, TX, and I hold a PhD in Food Science with a focus on microbiology. Over the years, I've dove deep into probiotic research, covering everything from product development to clinical studies. My core interests include the antimicrobial properties of probiotics and developing natural antimicrobials—both for keeping our food fresh and boosting human health.
One of my proudest moments was presenting my research on how certain dairy bacteria (lactobacilli) can help fight off Helicobacter pylori—the bug behind stomach ulcers and a risk factor for stomach cancer. I even developed a yogurt with these good bacteria, ran a clinical study, and shared the results at a big microbiology conference. When the media picked up the story, I was really touched by how many people reached out wanting to know more.
I've also spent a lot of time on microbiome analysis, exploring how our gut bacteria affect our health—including their antibacterial powers and how specific strains of gut and dairy bacteria can pump up our immune system.
Through all this, I've realized how important it is to make science easy to understand. That's why I built this hub: to connect the latest research with our daily lives, helping you feel confident making choices about your health.

Why Personalized Guidance Matters:
There’s a wealth of information available on probiotics and microbiomes, but much of it is highly technical and difficult for non-experts to navigate.
