# Dr. Justin Sonnenburg & Huberman Gut Barrier & Microbiota Diversity Protocol - Longevity Protocol Stack Audit

> **Editorial Summary**: Stanford landmark RCT-backed protocol co-developed by Dr. Justin Sonnenburg and Dr. Andrew Huberman. Combines 6 daily servings of fermented foods, pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila (Amuc_1100), targeted colon-release tributyrin, and zinc carnosine to seal intestinal tight junctions, elevate microbial alpha-diversity, and extinguish systemic inflammaging.
