Despite the 32 billion dollars we citizens of earth spend yearly on probiotics, they may not be effective. There are some people and that respond really well to them,. especially some people that experienced te blems or have intestinal disease probiotics could help. So in terms of shelved probiotics, see what works for you. Some do work for some people. And more importantly, maybe eat a lot of fruits and veges, because that is feeding the good bugs. Maybe your mouth is like cabbage. We are not friends. But your gut flora is just losing its mind with excitement, like you just walked in with a tray of fireball shots and flefver nutters, cabbage salad.
LOVE YOUR GUTS. 90% of your serotonin is made in your guts and you have hundreds of trillions of friends clinging to you at all times. Microbiologist Dr. Elaine Hsiao is a total badass who runs her own lab investigating the role of the gut biome in behaviors. She sat down to chat about anxiety, depression, elusive fecal transplants, autism, epilepsy, kombucha promises, autoimmune disorders, probiotics and more. Alie fanned out pretty hard and asked all of the questions about how your beloved, simmering insides affect your brain. It's gut-busting, mind-blowing info.
