Episode 18: I constantly receive so many questions around gut health and prebiotics/probiotics. What does “leaky gut” mean? How do I know if I have bad gut health? Do prebiotics/probiotics actually work? I compiled all of the most common questions and asked the co-founder of Just Thrive Health, Tina Anderson, to help us answer and debunk all of the misconceptions about gut health and prebiotics/probiotics. Tina previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry, until she realized that she wanted to make a positive change in the world. Tina and her husband, Billy, left the world of pharmaceuticals and went on to create one of the best probiotics in the market. In the episode we learn all things about your gut microbiome, how to have a diverse gut, what to look for when selecting a probiotic, how antibiotics affect your gut, and most importantly how to heal your gut microbiome. I learned so much in this episode and I hope you guys do as well! You can learn more about Just Thrive on their website HEREJUST THRIVE PRODUCTS MENTIONED:Just Thrive Probiotic - 90 Day SupplyJust Calm - 90 Day Supply USE CODE “GRACIE” FOR 20% OFFCONNECT WITH ME:Follow Wellness Her Way on Instagram for podcast updates: HERE Connect with me on TikTok: HEREConnect with me on Instagram: HERETOPICS DISCUSSED:0:41 - Tina’s background / how thrive was born3:40 - What is the gut microbiome and why it is important to have a diverse microbiome5:23 - Symptoms of not having a diverse gut microbiome7:48 - Why is leaky gut so common now?11:00 - Do probiotics need to be refrigerated? 12:44 - How can we tell when a probiotic is working?13:45 - What is a spore and why is it important in probiotics?15:09 - What ingredients to look for in a probiotic? 15:41 - What time of day should you take your probiotic? 16:42 - Probiotic drinks & yogurts19:18 - Is it good to take a prebiotic and probiotic together?19:58 - What foods disrupt our gut?21:42 - Antibiotics and gut health23:30 - How to rebalance and support your body after antibiotics?25:12 - What questions can we ask when getting prescriptions? 25:41 - Candida overgrowth & cravings26:17 - Gut & brain connection29:09 - Symptoms of someone who is not prioritizing their gut health30:35 - Taking probiotics while pregnant32:10 - Baking with probiotics32:40 - Can someone microbiome transfer to you? 33:42 - How to support someone who isn’t prioritizing their gut health?34:02 - Allergies & gut health34:31 - Over sanitizing & gut health35:15 - First steps for a beginner focusing on gut health36:55 - Pets & gut health37:34 - Misconceptions about probiotics40:55 - Misconceptions about nutrition and digestion41:53 - Should we take probiotics for the rest of our lives? 43:03 - Is it okay to take the same probiotic indefinitely?  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
