How to Increase Good Bacteria In Gut Naturally and Improve Microbiome Diversity In today’s culture, many people have become self-proclaimed “germaphobes” – going to great lengths to disinfect, clean, and eradicate any potential microbes. And while hygiene and disinfectants certainly have their time and their place, fewer microbes are not always better. In fact, when…
Endotoxemia, Leaky Gut, and Lipopolysaccharides Your gut has a rather tricky job.

Probiotics and Triglycerides Randomized Double-Blind Study At first glance, your heart health, metabolic health, and gut health might seem pretty unrelated. After all, modern medicine has compartmentalized our bodies – making it easy for us to separate our bodies into systems. Our digestive system, our cardiovascular system, and so on and so forth.

While at first glance, digestion might seem like a simple process, it’s a little more complicated than simply eating food, absorbing nutrients, and ultimately eliminating it when we go to the bathroom. Our digestion relies on countless moving parts and chemical reactions. And one crucial compound we depend on for these chemical reactions and proper digestion is a class of molecules known as digestive enzymes.

Our favorite microbiologist is BACK with another high-level professional presentation to share with you! This time we take a deep dive into the infinite connections between gut health, microbiome diversity, and immune function. From optimizing resilience during the winter months to balancing and calming an overactive immune system (autoimmune, anyone?) – the health of our gut and microbiome are the #1 factors involved. Learn the intimate connection between the gut and brain (and how it’s actually the “first” brain – and not the second), the 2 biggest drivers of brain toxicity that come from gut dysbiosis, and how a perpetual cycle of gut-brain inflammation drives mood and sleep disorders! Want to know how to end this cycle and stop the escalating toxicity on the brain?
