“Dr. Lester has a proven track record of turning the science behind gut health into actionable lifestyle interventions,” says Dr. Jessica Richman, PhD, co-founder and CEO of uBiome. “Her prevention-focused approach complements uBiome’s mission of translating cutting-edge microbiome research into actionable tools to improve quality of life. We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Lester to our Medical Advisory Board.”

Dr. Lester has devoted her career to a patient-centered approach focused on prevention, including the importance of diet and gut health. After receiving her MD in Internal Medicine from the University of Cincinnati Medical College, Dr. Lester graduated from the Integrative Medicine Fellowship at the University of Arizona, and holds further certification in medical acupuncture. Dr. Lester brings a multifaceted approach to illness and wellness in her role at Parsley Health. Her practice emphasizes the role of gut health, including the gut microbiome, in promoting overall wellness.

In addition to promoting gut health through patient interaction, Dr. Lester also spreads the principles of her approach through popular outlets such as The Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen, and Thoughtfully Magazine.

Dr. Lester was also voted one of Cincinnati's Best Doctors (2015-2016).

About joining uBiome's Medical Advisory Board, Dr. Lester said, “I believe that by caring for the fundamentals of health, from nutrition to the microbiome, we can treat the root cause of disease and promote overall well being. That’s why I’m thrilled to help uBiome advance its mission and promote patient understanding of the role of the microbiome in human health.”

uBiome’s technology platform is based on the largest microbial dataset in the world (over 250,000 samples), covered by six issued patents (and over 100 pending applications), and used in over 20 peer-reviewed publications and presentations. This platform has been used by over 200 research institutions around the world, including the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), US National Institutes of Health (NIH), Harvard University, Stanford University, University of California, San Francisco, University College London, and University of Sydney.
