Episode notes
ADVICE

Probiotic Timing and Priority

  • Prioritize diet and prebiotics before trying probiotics, as gut microbiomes are highly individual.
  • Take probiotics right before bedtime for better survival through stomach acid and opt for delayed-release capsules.
ADVICE

Skip Probiotics Post-Antibiotics

  • Avoid probiotic supplements after antibiotics as they may delay microbiome recovery.
  • Instead, maintain a plant-based diet and consider prebiotic supplements for better recovery.
ADVICE

Moderate Kombucha Intake

  • Kombucha is better than soda for gut health but should be consumed in small amounts.
  • Its acidity can harm teeth enamel, so dilute with water and avoid excessive intake.
