This Is What Happens to Your Body After Antibiotics

Antibiotics save lives, but they can also wreck your gut, kill your energy, and leave your immune system struggling.

In this episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, I’m breaking down the often overlooked side effects of antibiotics, and how to fully recover using time-tested, natural strategies.

You’ll learn:

• How antibiotics disrupt gut health, mitochondria, and immunity

• The link between antibiotics and chronic issues like fatigue, allergies, and IBD

• What to eat (and avoid) after a round of antibiotics

• My top supplements for rebuilding gut health and restoring energy

• Real stories of recovery from leading experts and patients
