Ep 430852 - What Probiotic Side Effects Mean—And How to Fix Them
Are your probiotic side effects a positive sign, or should you make a modification? It's all too common that when people take a probiotic and experience some kind of side effect, they take it to mean that probiotics aren't right for them. And that's understandable. But more often than not, these side effects can be signaling something good (that they're going to work in your gut) or simply that a small adjustment needs to be made. Here's how to know which side effects mean what.

Ep 414822 - A Simple & Effective Leaky Gut Repair Protocol
In this episode, scientific proof comes to light about what works for a leaky gut repair. Leaky gut is when the tight junctions between the cells that line your small intestine loosen. This allows bacterial fragments and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream, potentially causing an unwanted immune response. When the immune response is heightened, there's a greater chance for chronic inflammation to occur, causing symptoms like diarrhea, brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue. This is where probiotics can come into play to help calm down the immune response and heal leaky gut. Listen to the episode to hear what kind of probiotics to use and how often to take them to improve your gut health.

Ep 413821 - Gut Talk: Updates to Gut Research (June 2023)
In this episode, I cover updates to gut research. These updates are grouped into two main categories: gut dysbiosis and immune system. Gut health and immune health go hand-in-hand, so it may not be so shocking to hear how lowering gut inflammation can boost immunity. What exactly works to improve digestive symptoms and immune function? This episode features studies that reveal the power of diet and the pitfalls of lab tests and environmental exposures. Listen in to better understand how to build a healthier gut.
