Episode Description: Over 21 million women in the United States are dealing with bacterial vaginosis right now. Most of them have never told a single person. Not their doctor, not their closest friend, not their partner. Because somewhere along the way we decided this was not something we talk about. Today we will talk about it. Danielle spent five years cycling through antibiotics, specialists, Reddit rabbit holes, and remedies that did not work. When she finally told her then new boyfriend Hans, he did not run. He asked how he could help. Hans happened to come from a family that had been manufacturing dietary supplements for 30 years. What came out of that conversation became Happy V, a vaginal probiotic that does not just feed the good bacteria but hunts down the bad ones. Danielle and Hans break it down — in order: Take 1: "Antibiotics eliminate all the bacteria — and then it comes right back" Danielle explains why the standard treatment for BV sets women up for a revolving cycle of reinfection. She breaks down what is actually happening in the vaginal microbiome and why the conventional approach keeps missing the root cause. Take 2: "The shame around BV is destroying relationships" From new couples to long marriages, BV is ending intimacy and keeping women isolated in embarrassment. Hans and Danielle share what that conversation looked like for them and why having it honestly changed everything. Take 3: "Not all probiotics are the same and most gummies are basically useless" Hans pulls back the curtain on how the supplement industry actually works and why most probiotic products on the shelf cannot deliver what they promise. He explains what three things a label has to show before a probiotic is worth buying. Take 4: "Probiotics hate water, acid, and heat — which is everything a gummy is made of" This one will make you look at your cabinet differently. Hans explains exactly why the gummy format destroys the very bacteria you are trying to consume and what format actually protects them. Take 5: "Give it time — anyone telling you this works overnight is lying to you" Dietary supplements are not magic and the marketing around vaginal health is especially aggressive. Danielle and Hans give the honest timeline and explain what patience actually looks like when you have the right product. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why recurring BV is not a hygiene problem, what is actually driving the imbalance, and why the antibiotic cycle keeps women stuck instead of healed  • How to read a probiotic label and what three things the International Probiotic Association says must be present for a product to actually be legitimate  • Why the vaginal microbiome is one of the most undertreated areas of women's health and how an imbalanced pH affects everything from intimacy to confidence to daily comfort This one is for every woman who has suffered in silence and every partner who wants to understand.

What if eating nutritious food isn't enough because what really matters is what your body can actually digest, absorb, and utilize?In Episode 150 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley sits down with Dr. Ryan Jones, a Doctor of Oriental and Complementary Medicine with decades of experience spanning traditional healing systems, nutritional medicine, supplement formulation, and manufacturing.The conversation begins with monolaurin—the monoglyceride of lauric acid at the heart of Lauricidin®—and expands into a much bigger discussion about gut health, the microbiome, food sensitivities, probiotics, fermented foods, immune health, supplement quality, and why improving health usually requires much more than simply adding another pill or supplement.Dr. Jones explains why Lauricidin comes in tiny pellets, why he recommends starting with small amounts and gradually increasing intake, and how he believes monolaurin fits into a broader approach to digestive and immune health.Michael and Ryan also dig into coconut oil and lauric acid, leaky gut, Candida, probiotics, homemade sauerkraut and kefir, food sensitivities, topical products, and what Ryan has learned from working inside the supplement and cosmetic manufacturing industries.In This EpisodeWhat monolaurin and glycerol monolaurate areLauric acid, coconut oil, and MCT oilsWhy Lauricidin is made as small pelletsWhy Dr. Jones recommends starting low and increasing slowlyDigestion, absorption, and the idea that "it's not what you eat—it's what you absorb"The gut microbiome and dysbiosisWhy there may be no single "magic bullet" for chronic health problemsFood sensitivities and Dr. Jones' experience with NAETWhat may contribute to increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut"Probiotics, fermented foods, kefir, and homemade sauerkrautColloidal silver and topical antimicrobial approachesOral health, toothpaste, lotions, deodorant, and other Lauricidin productsLow-potency supplements and what Dr. Jones calls the "pixie dust effect"What decades of supplement formulation have taught him about the industryHow Dr. Jones personally incorporates Lauricidin into his lifestyleEpisode Timestamps00:00 — You Can't Drug the Body Back to Health00:48 — Meet Dr. Ryan Jones03:39 — What Is Lauricidin and Monolaurin?06:36 — Monolaurin, Lauric Acid & Breast Milk08:43 — Coconut Oil vs. Concentrated Monolaurin10:48 — Why Lauricidin Uses Pellets13:18 — Eastern Medicine Meets Modern Formulation15:22 — Caprylic, Capric & Lauric Acid Explained19:50 — It's Not What You Eat—It's What You Absorb21:48 — Monolaurin and the Gut Microbiome24:08 — What Research Would Dr. Jones Fund?27:35 — Why One Intervention May Not Be Enough31:14 — Colloidal Silver & Topical Approaches32:27 — Wounds, Scarring & Secondary Infection35:44 — Herpes, Shingles & Viral Load Discussion38:28 — Monolaurin, COVID & Immune Health40:26 — Food Sensitivities and NAET42:06 — Why There Is No Health "Magic Bullet"44:20 — Which Microorganisms Are Most Susceptible?48:23 — What Causes "Leaky Gut"?50:46 — Dr. Jones' Gut Health Approach54:19 — Probiotics, Kefir & Homemade Sauerkraut58:15 — Oral Health, Toothpaste & Lauricidin Products1:02:57 — Natural Deodorant & the Skin Microbiome1:05:00 — What the Supplement Industry Gets Wrong1:06:33 — Low Potency & the "Pixie Dust" Problem1:09:47 — How Dr. Jones Uses Lauricidin Personally1:11:23 — Final ThoughtsDr. Ryan Jones & LauricidinDr. Ryan Jones: https://www.lauricidin.com/collections/dr-ryanLauricidin®: https://www.lauricidin.com/Dr. Jones' Gut Health Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-protocol-for-gut-health-using-monolaurin-by-dr-ryan-jonesDr. Jones' Leaky Gut Support Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-leaky-gut-support-using-lauricidin-by-dr-ryan-jonesLauricidin Pro — Health Professional Resources: https://www.lauricidin.pro/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauricidin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lauricidin/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lauricidinX: https://x.com/lauricidinFull Episode ResourcesShow notes, video, resources, and additional information: https://drhaley.com/monolaurin-gut-health/About The Dr. Haley ShowThe Dr. Haley Show explores health, nutrition, natural medicine, longevity, the microbiome, lifestyle, and unconventional ideas about human health.Hosted by Dr. Michael Haley. https://drhaley.com/Haley Nutrition: https://haleynutrition.com/Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Send us Fan MailProbiotics left US NICUs after the FDA reclassified them, and NEC rates went up. This week Ben reviews the Connection Study, a 2,158 infant phase 3 trial of IBP-9414, a live biotherapeutic product containing Limosilactobacillus reuteri, run under an IND with the regulatory rigor probiotics never had. Neither primary endpoint reached significance, but all cause mortality fell 27%, and surgically confirmed NEC favored treatment after 14 days of dosing. The discussion may be the real story, including a kappa of 0.36 between radiologists reading the same NEC films.

Probiotics, cleanses, leaky gut, worms — science or scam? Jessica Wynn digests the truth about your microbiome this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1366On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Your gut is a genuine marvel, with 500 million neurons chattering up the vagus nerve to your brain. But "marvel" got rebranded as "malfunction" the second the wellness industry smelled money. The gut-brain axis is real science; the $62 kombucha is not."Scientists discover the sadness bacteria" sells. "We found a correlation we can't explain yet" doesn't. Depressed people do have different gut bacteria — but no one knows which is driving the bus. Correlation isn't causation, a lesson the internet forgets daily.Those "parasites" in cleanse videos are mucus casts — your product coming back out, shaped like worms. "Leaky gut," "mucoid plaque," rope worms: catch-all diagnoses for being alive. The cleanse creates the problem, then sells you the repair kit. Perfect loop.The pitch targets women for a reason: IBS hits them twice as often, and medicine spent decades calling their symptoms "just stress." Wellness says "your doctor won't listen, we will." That distrust is earned — but a real grievance doesn't make the $79 capsules work.The good news is that your microbiome isn't broken, so stop trying to fix it. Eat a wide variety of real, whole and fermented foods, move your body, sleep, manage stress — and take real symptoms to a gastroenterologist, not TikTok. Boring, cheap, and it works.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

On this episode, Jared and Jen introduce a new Full Moon Parasite Cleanse Protocol designed in conjunction with Cellcore Biosciences, to make parasite cleansing simpler, more affordable, and easier to follow than a comprehensive 90-day program. They explain why timing a cleanse around the full moon matters, discuss the role parasites may play in common symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, cravings, and digestive discomfort, and walk through each phase of the protocol - from drainage support and binders to rebuilding the gut afterward. They also compare this protocol to their original 90-day parasite cleanse, discuss who may benefit from each approach, and share practical tips for minimizing discomfort during a cleanse. They also explain the included symptom quiz, companion eBook, and how to choose the approach that best fits your health goals.Products:Full Moon Parasite Cleansing Protocols3 Month Parasite Cleansing ProtocolCellCore CoreMend GI Constipation Support Additional Information:Parasite Burden Quiz359: Comprehensive Detoxification of Parasites, Lyme, and Other Toxins With Dr. Todd Watts of CellCore Biosciences431: Are Parasites Part of Your Health Concerns?

Dr. Hoffman continues is conversation with naturopathic gastroenterologist Mark Davis, ND (FABNG).

Naturopathic gastroenterologist Mark Davis, ND (FABNG), discusses his work in fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), research, and integrative approaches to GI disease. Davis explains FMT history, screening criteria, delivery methods, how it differs from probiotics, and why it is highly effective for recurrent C. difficile (about a 90% durable cure), while noting FDA-approved products (Rebyota, Vowst) and off-label applications. He describes IRB-approved studies on naturopathic care for IBS and ulcerative colitis and a blinded project comparing consistency across 15–20 stool microbiome labs. The conversation covers evidence for diet in IBS/IBD (including SCD and a semi-vegetarian diet), low-FODMAP as a temporary tool, breath testing and relapse in SIBO, helminthic therapy options and legality, targeted probiotics (Saccharomyces boulardii, Akkermansia, soil-based species), enema therapies, indigo naturalis benefits and risks, saffron evidence for mood, telemedicine practice, and a crowdfunding platform for clinical trials.

Fix Leaky Gut, Boost Testosterone & Slash Endotoxins with Spore-Based Probiotics | Kiran KrishnanYour bad gut bacteria might be the reason your testosterone, your immune system, and even your sperm count are struggling, and most probiotics never survive long enough to fix it. This episode reveals which strains actually make it through your stomach acid alive, and what happens once they do. Go To JustThriveHealth.com/asprey for a free 90 day supply of bitters with your next subscription. Host Dave Asprey sits down with research microbiologist Kiran Krishnan, co-founder of Microbiome Labs, the leading microbiome therapeutics brand among healthcare professionals. He has published multiple peer-reviewed studies, holds global patents, and has spent 20 years building companies focused on the science of the microbiome. His work centers on spore-based probiotics, the rare strains proven to survive the stomach's brutal acidity and actually rebuild the gut from the inside out. Kiran and Dave break down why 98 percent of conventional probiotics die before they ever reach your gut, and why spore-forming bacteria are different. They dig into the "gelding effect," the well-documented pathway where endotoxins from bad gut bacteria shut down testosterone production and drive up cortisol, and how fixing your microbiome can reverse it. They cover the connection between endotoxemia and nearly every major marker of aging, metabolism, and inflammation, why butyrate acts like a natural GLP-1 for fat loss, how Akkermansia can upregulate mitochondria and improve blood sugar control, and the surprising role vitamin K2 plays in bone density and functional medicine. This is biohacking at the cellular level, using ancient biology, fasting-adjacent metabolic pathways, and precision supplementation to optimize human performance from the gut up. You'll Learn: Why 98 percent of probiotics die in your stomach before they ever work What the "gelding effect" is and how gut bacteria can shut down testosterone How endotoxins drive inflammation, cortisol, and accelerated aging Why butyrate functions like a natural, low-cost alternative to GLP-1 drugs How Akkermansia improves mitochondrial function and blood sugar control The overlooked link between your microbiome and vitamin K2 production Why spore-based probiotics can survive gastric acid when most others cannot How 90 days of gut repair can measurably reduce circulating endotoxins Keywords: best probiotics that survive stomach acid, spore based probiotics benefits, gelding effect testosterone, endotoxins and testosterone, how to lower endotoxins, LPS gut bacteria, Akkermansia GLP-1 natural, gut bacteria and belly fat, vitamin K2 bone density, Kiran Krishnan microbiologist, Just Thrive probiotic, leaky gut symptoms, microbiome and testosterone, fecal transplant benefits, Dave Asprey, biohacking, longevity Resources: • Go To JustThriveHealth.com/asprey for a free 90 day supply of bitters with your next subscription • Learn More About All Of Just Thrive's Offerings At: https://justthrivehealth.com/ • Get My 2026 Clean Nicotine Roadmap | Enroll for free at https://daveasprey.com/2026-clean-nicotine-roadmap/ • Dave Asprey's Latest News | Go to https://daveasprey.com/ to join Inside Track today. • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/dave15? • My Daily Supplements: SuppGrade Labs (15% Off) • Favorite Blue Light Blocking Glasses: TrueDark (15% Off) • Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com • Dave Asprey's New Book – Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated • Join My Substack (Live Access To Podcast Recordings): https://substack.daveasprey.com/ • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com Thank you to our sponsors! - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Millions of people take a daily probiotic without ever asking a basic question: does any of it survive long enough to do anything?In this episode of The Mind-Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Kiran Krishnan, a research microbiologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Microbiome Labs who has spent his career studying the human microbiome and the science behind probiotics. Kiran is best known for popularizing spore-based probiotics and for his work on metabolic endotoxemia, the mechanism behind what many people call leaky gut.The conversation opens with a hard look at what happens to probiotics in the stomach. Kiran describes testing 40 of the leading probiotic brands under standard gastric conditions and finding that none of the strains survived the passage intact. From there they examine why CFU counts have become the industry's main marketing lever despite telling consumers almost nothing, why multi-strain formulas can cause individual strains to cancel each other out, and why some probiotic strains may trigger an inflammatory response rather than calm one.They also address one of the most persistent myths in the field, the idea that probiotics colonize the gut and reseed the microbiome. Kiran explains why nearly all probiotics, including spores, are transient, and what that means for how these products should actually be evaluated.The second half turns to the missing microbes hypothesis: the argument that modern agriculture has stripped soil-derived spore-forming bacteria out of our food supply, along with the tilling, monocropping, and synthetic fertilizer practices driving that loss. Dr. Mayer and Kiran connect the health of the soil to the health of the gut, and close with practical guidance on how an ordinary consumer can evaluate a probiotic in an unregulated market.Topics discussed include:Why most probiotics do not survive stomach acidWhat CFU counts really tell you, and what they do notWhy multi-strain formulas can work against themselvesThe myth of probiotic colonization and reseeding the microbiomeHow modern agriculture changed the soil microbiomeHow to evaluate a probiotic before you buy itThis is a candid, evidence-based conversation for anyone interested in gut health, the microbiome, and separating probiotic science from probiotic marketing.--------------------------------------------------------------------This episode is brought to you by Mayer Nutrition.

  In this episode the guys break down whether you should build or cut first — covering what each actually involves, why cutting first almost always fails long term, how building first boosts your metabolic rate by 700-800 calories a day, and why 95% of people who lose weight gain it all back. They also discuss Sal's prediction that probiotics will be the next major performance supplement, the ditto dating app taking over college campuses by using AI instead of swiping, the new short king shoe brand giving guys a few extra inches of height, 80s and 90s movie reviews that did not hold up, and Sal using Kion amino acids daily since going back to jiu jitsu.

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Allen Bookatz, Dr. Jup Kuipers, and Jodi Duval take a deep dive into the gut-brain-microbiota axis. Moving past the simplistic, pathogenic "pill-for-an-ill" approach of conventional psychiatry and the mainstream hype around over-the-counter probiotics, the faculty breaks down why establishing enteric safety must always precede biochemical optimization. Join us as we delve into: The Tripartite Axis: How the enteric microbiota, gut barrier, and central nervous system communicate at a molecular and metabolomic level to dictate brain state and mood. Epigenetic Signaling: How gut microbes act as active metabolic factories, fermenting dietary fibers into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate that cross the blood-brain barrier to upregulate BDNF and support synaptic plasticity. The IDO Serotonin Hijack: How gut-driven inflammation activates indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), shunting tryptophan down the kynurenine pathway to produce neurotoxic quinolinic acid instead of serotonin and melatonin. The Microglial Fire: How circulating cytokines cross the blood-brain barrier at the circumventricular organs, placing the brain's microglia into an active defense state that triggers cognitive fatigue and brain fog. The 3-Phase Gut-Brain Protocol: Why seeding probiotics into inflamed soil fails, and how to logically sequence clearing overgrowth, rebuilding mucosal integrity with L-glutamine, and seeding validated strains. This episode is for you if: You are running on high-dose over-the-counter probiotics for mood issues but feeling no relief or worsening symptoms. You want to understand the exact cellular and biochemical mechanisms connecting leaky gut to leaky brain and psychiatric distress. You want a practical, clinically sequenced blueprint to restore gut barrier safety before attempting to optimize your neurochemistry.

The Brain–Body Connection, Gut Health, Stress, and Medical Gaslighting: board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Susan Trachman, author of “It's Not Just In Your Head,” about psychosomatic medicine and the two-way brain–body connection. Trachman explains how patients with complex symptoms are often dismissed as having “medically unexplained symptoms” and discusses medical gaslighting, especially affecting women and people of color, with examples of missed diagnoses. She describes how inflammation, the gut microbiome, leaky gut, diet, probiotics, fermented foods, and even fecal transplants can influence mood and health, and reviews vagus nerve stimulation research. The conversation covers stress effects, including Takotsubo “broken heart” cardiomyopathy, CBT for anxiety, IBS, and pain, the role of sleep and the brain's glymphatic system, pandemic-related mental health and long COVID symptoms, concerns about GLP-1 drugs causing emotional flatness, and careful SSRI tapering to avoid withdrawal. 

Oral Probiotics Unlocked Guest Bio: Here's something to complement brushing and flossing! In this episode of Live Foreverish, Dr. Mike and Dr. Crystal explore the probiotic strain Streptococcus salivarius M18 and its potential benefits for oral health. Backed by clinical research, this strain—delivered as a dissolving lozenge—may help reduce cavities, plaque, and gingivitis by neutralizing mouth acidity and inhibiting harmful bacteria. #LELEARN #EDULFsocial

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, we're talking about all things gut health, and honestly, this conversation answered so many questions we've all asked at one point or another. Like, I'm doing all the "right" things... but why do I still feel exhausted, bloated, inflamed, and not feeling like myself. Yeah, if you've been wondering, "What am I missing?" this episode is for you. Maria sat down with naturopathic physician and gut health expert Dr. Emily Hernandez to unpack one of the biggest hidden obstacles that could be standing in the way of feeling your best: biofilm overgrowth. Think of biofilms as a sticky protective shield that unwanted bacteria create in your gut, making it harder to heal it despite your healthiest efforts. Dr. Emily  explains how your gut impacts so much more than digestion. We're talking about your energy, mood, skin, hormones, and overall well-being.You'll also learn the warning signs your gut may be trying to get your attention, why detoxification matters, and how stress and environmental toxins can quietly make it harder for your body to heal. Plus, Maria shares one of her longtime wellness staples:Biocidin Botanicals. These are products she personally keeps on hand whenever she's having those pesky “tummy problems” or if she ever needs some immunity support (there's a throat spray she just can't live without!). Together, they dive into the science behind the products, how they support the gut and microbiome, and where to start to get you on the right track to help disrupt biofilm overgrowth. And yes, we've got a special Heal Squad discount waiting for you below! We hope you enjoy this one! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your gut is connected to more than digestion. When your microbiome is out of balance, it can impact your hormones, energy, mood, skin, and even the symptoms you might be blaming on aging or perimenopause. Doing everything "right" doesn't always mean you're addressing the root cause. Dr. Emily explains how hidden biofilm overgrowth may be one of the biggest reasons women feel stuck despite eating well, exercising, and taking supplements. Healing isn't about taking more supplements, it's about taking the right approach. Learn how to think about gut health, detoxification, and building a foundational wellness routine without feeling overwhelmed.

On this episode, Jared explores one of the most important yet overlooked foundations of long-term health: intestinal barrier health, often referred to as "leaky gut." He explains what a healthy gut lining does, the lifestyle factors that may compromise it, and why supporting gut integrity can influence digestion, immune function, mood, and overall wellness. Jared also introduces Vitality Nutrition's new research-informed Leaky Gut Protocol, breaking down the role of ingredients such as L-glutamine, zinc L-carnosine, targeted probiotics, prebiotic fibers, and botanical compounds that help support a healthy intestinal lining and microbiome. If you've been looking for a practical, step-by-step approach to supporting digestive health naturally, this episode provides the science, the strategy, and the lifestyle principles to help you build a healthier gut from the inside out.Products:1 Month Leaky Gut Protocol Bundle3 Month Leaky Gut Protocol BundleCoreMend GINutraBio L-Glutamine PowderPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesSource Naturals GastricSoothe (Zinc L-Carnosine)Ancient Nutrition ColostrumRebuild+ Functional Beef Bone Broth ProteinION Gut SupportOmega-3Assimil-8 Digestive EnzymesAdditional Information:#427: How the Intelligence of Nature Can Help Restore your Gut Health with Kim StevensVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

In this episode the guys break down six ways to build bulletproof joints — proper strength training, unilateral training, static stretching post-workout, mobility drills, hydration with high protein diet, and consistent sleep. They cover why joints actually strengthen rather than wear down with proper use, why MAPS Symmetry alone solves most chronic pain issues without targeted correctional exercise, and why CNS tightening after workouts causes the low back pain people feel hours later at night. They also get into a new study showing probiotics plus protein powder outperforms protein powder alone for strength gains, creatine reducing anxiety in 95% of postmenopausal women, Sal's return to jiu jitsu and the cardio humbling he's getting from a one-year practitioner, Doug's 4th of July river rafting trip on the American River, Sal's son's emotional breakdown watching the USA World Cup loss, and Adam going deep on the Vuori wetsuit situation.

Send us Fan MailWhen the FDA warning landed in late 2023, probiotic use in high-use NICUs collapsed from 86% to under 7% almost overnight. What happened to NEC? This week Daphna brings Tolia and Patel's new Journal of Perinatology analysis of the Pediatrix Clinical Data Warehouse, a natural experiment across 347 NICUs and more than 10,000 extremely preterm infants. Centers that stopped saw NEC climb from 2.7% to 4.4%. Centers that never used probiotics saw nothing change. Ben and Daphna work through the difference-in-differences model, the demographic imbalances, and the uncomfortable question underneath it all. When does data stop and advocacy begin?----Probiotics and necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants after the food and drug administration warning actions.

Walk into any health food store or spend five minutes on social media and you'll be told you "need" a long list of supplements for your gut. Bitters. Berberine. Greens powders. Probiotics. TUDCA. Ox bile. But are they actually helping your microbiome... or could they be making things worse? In this episode, Tara shares her honest, research-backed opinion on the gut supplements she believes are worth considering, which ones are overhyped, which should only ever be used with the right testing, and the supplements she believes most people should avoid altogether. Drawing on more than a decade of clinical experience and her training as a Certified Microbiome Analyst, Tara explains why the right supplement depends entirely on what's happening inside your gut, and why guessing can sometimes do more harm than good. If you've ever wondered which supplements are actually worth your money, this episode is for you. Covered in this episode:  The supplements I genuinely recommend and why Which ones are mostly hype Why strain matters when it comes to probiotics Why prebiotics are one of the most underused tools in gut health The supplements I only use with proper testing Why I no longer use berberine or oil of oregano in my clinical practice The biggest mistake I see women making when buying supplements online   Mentioned in this episode:  HERBATONIN - Save 10% when you use Tara's code: Tara10   July *LIVE* Gut Fix Hangout Stop Blaming the Food.

New probiotic strains may hold the key to better gut health, stronger bones, and even longevity. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Oscar Coetzee, a recognized expert in psychology, human nutrition, and metabolic health, to discuss the latest research on probiotics and bone health.  We explore why traditional probiotics may not always provide lasting results and how new strains are designed to target root causes of inflammation, optimize gut balance, and support calcium metabolism.  We also cover practical tips for implementing probiotics safely, including guidance on timing, dosage, and considerations for people with SIBO, thyroid medication, or other conditions. Plus, we discuss the impact of gluten sensitivity on inflammation and bone health, emphasizing holistic lifestyle approaches. Today's conversation is to help you understand the emerging science behind probiotics and why your gut matters for bone health.   "Our guts and the intelligence of these microbes far exceed anything that we have in our brains.

Registered dietitian Leyla Muedin discusses a Frontiers in Microbiology paper suggesting certain probiotics may help sequester heavy metals. The study, sponsored by the Italian company Probiotical and conducted with University of Ghent and University of Piedmont Orientale, researchers used in vitro testing and the SHIME gut simulator to assess Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus crispatus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus against cadmium, lead, chromium, and mercury. L. plantarum and L. crispatus reduced metal bioavailability primarily in the simulated colonic phase, while L. acidophilus showed minimal detoxification; mercury was least reduced (~10%). An ex vivo mouse-intestine system found probiotic pre-incubation of metals preserved epithelial integrity and reduced inflammatory responses. Leyla notes limitations: corporate funding, only three strains tested, and no in vivo or human trials, though the findings support further animal and clinical research.
