Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
