Episode notes
Probiotics Impact Whole-Body Health
- Probiotics influence far more than digestion, affecting cortisol, mood, immunity, skin, blood pressure, and athletic recovery.
- Modern life (antibiotics, glyphosate, C-sections) disrupts microbiomes, making supplementation often necessary.
Eat More And Add Liquid Calories
- If you struggle to gain weight while very active, increase daily calories to at least 3,500–4,000 consistently.
- Prioritize protein, reduce training volume, and add liquid calories around intense activity.
Gut Microbes Modulate Stress Response
- The gut-brain axis links gut microbes to neurotransmitters and the HPA axis, influencing stress and sleep.
- Probiotics can normalize cortisol in stressed individuals without lowering it in non-stressed people.
