Dr. Will Bulseiwicz, gastroenterologist, is joined by our ambassador Emma Sutherland, to explore the holistic method of supporting a gut microbiome that pays us back by reducing risk of developing chronic disease. Dr. B. takes into consideration that we’re uniquely bio-individual to the level of our gut microbiome and a person’s health is intrinsically connected to its own unique gut terrain a.k.a. gut microbiome. Emma and Will discuss the benefits of maintaining a healthy gut lining by supporting mucus secretions such as secretory IgA and the usefulness of probiotics. In holistic fashion there’s discussion of various sources of probiotics beyond pill and powder forms and how to use them effectively in a clinical setting. Dr. B makes recommendations on how to choose the “right” probiotic for you patients and how to support this use with natural sources along with prebiotics. The discussion then moves to an interesting area of fermented foods and spore forming probiotics (typically from Bacillus spp.) Find today's transcript and show notes here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/podcast/focus-fibre-fuelling-microbiome-emma-sutherland-and-dr-will-bulsiewicz ***DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
