Science update: Probiotics in and outside the gut

International dietitian Sandra Mikhail joins us in our latest podcast to dive into the thriving research on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and ‘biotics’ – prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics. In the episode, Sandra highlights that one size does not fit all when it comes to probiotic supplementation and explains the importance of strain and dose specificity. She also shares her analogy of probiotic supplementation being the seed that’s planted for a healthy gut environment, and how we can use plant diversity to nourish this ecosystem. Plus, Sandra dives into the ‘glitch’ between the gut-brain axis for those with IBS, and shares her thoughts on breaking the ‘it’s-in-your-head’ stigma.
