Defeating Superbugs: My Podcast Interview with Dr. Steffanie Strathdee
As a podcast host for TechLink Health, it was a privilege to interview Dr. Steffanie Strathdee, an epidemiologist and Distinguished Professor at UC San Diego. Dr. Strathdee literally saved her husband's life when he suffered a catastrophic antibiotic-resistant superbug infection. Through her investigations, Dr. Strathdee uncovered the possibility of phage therapy. Considered a risky and largely unproven treatment modality at the time, it was a last-ditch effort -- and it worked!

Dr. Strathdee is now the Co-Director of the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics at UC San Diego. You can find her book, The Perfect Predator, on Amazon. There’s an audiobook version as well, which I highly recommend.

As we work to integrate evidence-based mindfulness and other non-pharmaceutical practices into healthcare, there is a powerful need for well designed research backed up by academic commitment. I’m excited to share this interview with you, and would love to hear your feedback.
