4. Gut Health, IBS, The Microbiome and Should You Take Probiotics?

Andrea Hardy is a registered dietitian and Canada’s Gut Health Expert, is on a mission to communicate credible scientific evidence about gut health and digestive disorders. She shares her message with clients and colleagues in a way that is easy to consume and inspires sustainable action.

It’s time to strip the jargon and fear-inducing language from our nutrition messages and inspire connective communication in health care.

Andrea likes to say her goal is to get people to take nutrition a little less seriously – which may come as a surprise coming from a dietitian. Through humor, she injects fun into her science-based media messages. After all, poop jokes aren’t her favorite kinda jokes, but they are a solid #2.

In this episode of Think Yourself Healthy, you will learn about:

- what the gut microbiome is

- what it's role is in health and disease, touching on IBS

- how to take care of your gut microbiota
