Willpower Study

Why do some people have tremendous willpower while others are slaves to their whims? Is it purely habit? Genetics? Or is the gut microbiome somehow involved?

In this study we will examine the gut microbiome's role in willpower. Specifically we are seeking participants who have some issue they could use more willpower in overcoming - they will then be provided fresh, strong probiotics every week for six weeks and report their progress in overcoming their issue through a quick daily check in over text message. Participants will be paid $25 per week for the duration of the study (payment delivered weekly).

We've done several casual experiments already and have seen good success in those individuals, so we decided it's time to do a formal study and see if the hypothesis holds through a true double-blind study.

If you have an issue you would like microbiological help in overcoming and are interested in participating in this study, please sign up below!
