Uncovering the Truth About Gut Health, How Food and Medicine Affects Your Gut, Benefits of a Probiotic/Prebiotic, and Healing Your Gut with Co-Founder of Just Thrive Health, Tina Anderson

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!
