Exercise Boosts Gut Healthy Bacteria: Study

Well who knew that going for your daily run or gym session might actually be a tool for better gut health. Today we look at a study which demonstrates this phenomenon! You guys know that I've been banging on about the link between positive exercise habits & good gut health. The two have been, so far in observational studies, commonly seen in a seemingly congruent relationship. But taking this theory a step further, a new study has actually used exercise as an interventional stimulus to see whether it actually induced positive changes to gut bacteria. Essentially looking at the idea that exercise may actually cause increases in beneficial gut microbes within the digestive tract. Steph Lowe (@thenaturalnutritionist) & I had a chat about the study, which she rightly pointed out had it's limitations. This episode recording comes from my discussion with Steph about fat-adaptation, gut health & more from The Gut Healing Series Online Course. Check it out at kalebrock.com @kalesbroccoli
