Antibiotics are everywhere. They're the first solution to any infection, used prophylatically before and after surgeries, and even for rashes in infants and young children. We're saying it - it's a pandemic. The problem with antibiotics is - bacteria can build up tolerance to them, making them ineffective. And possibly even worse - antibiotics wipe out all good bacteria also, leaving you potentially more susceptible to infections and bacteria than before. This podcast covers it all: The problem with using antibiotics Why antibiotics make you more susceptible to "bad" bacteria The link between antibiotics and SIBO Nature's antibiotics Supplements that are superior to antibiotics - and why Why a multi-faceted approach is needed How to approach "recovery" from antibiotic use Please check below for exact timestamps of topics covered.
