This month we’re going to be digging into all things gut health and healing from the inside out – of course, from a non-diet, neutral nutrition approach. This week we’re starting out by talking about some questions around the most popular gut-supportive nutrients and supplements you’ll hear about, including probiotics, prebiotics, mucosal support and immune gut support. And to talk about this, I invited back Tina Anderson, a co-founder and CEO of Just Thrive Health, which is one of the brands I trust and recommend for my own clients. Tina’s background is really interesting because she used to work in the pharmaceutical industry, and became really frustrated by many of the abuses in the industry – so she switched to working in natural health, disease prevention and health maintenance. Gut health products on the market are EVERYWHERE. Tina and I have talked about before how she knows that most of the probiotics on the market don’t work – so we’re starting off busting some of the top gut health myths and probiotics problems!  If you do want to try some of the gut health products we’re discussing in today’s episode, you can get 15% off your order at justthrivehealth.com with coupon code “DANA”.  Discussed on today’s episode:  The biggest gut health supplement and probiotic myths How and why most of the probiotics on the market don’t work – and how brands get away with this  Why “just take a probiotic” isn’t going to fix all your gut issues Spore based vs. soil based probiotics  Bacillus Indicus HU36® & science behind it  Antioxidant-producing probiotics – most bioavailable type of antioxidant  Myths or misconceptions about probiotics  Beyond probiotics: the mucosal barrier and why it’s so important to our health. How do you know if you need mucosal support?   The connection between gut health and immune health – supporting your gut health can help support your immune health. Studies coming out recently that are showing ties between the gut microbiota composition and susceptibility to COVID-19 – shows that our microbiota balance in our gut plays a huge role in our immunity!
