160: The Hidden Cost of Antibiotics: Extinction, Inflammation & Four Years of Damage From a Single Course, Plus My Gut Protection Protocol

In this episode, Tara breaks down the true impact antibiotics can have on the gut, far beyond the short-term effects most people are told about. She explains how even a single course can disrupt the microbiome for years, contributing to inflammation, immune dysregulation, and a wide range of ongoing symptoms. Tara also shares her clinical perspective on why many gut healing approaches fall short, and outlines a practical protocol to protect and support the microbiome before, during, and after antibiotic use. We cover: What actually happens in the gut after a course of antibiotics Why the effects can last up to four years (or longer) The link between antibiotics, inflammation, and chronic symptoms Why most "gut healing" approaches miss the mark My gut protection protocol (what I do in practice to minimize damage)     Attend My Brand New Masterclass on May 7th at 8pm EST / 5pm PST!
