Episode description

282: If you suffer from asthma, allergies, chronic coughs, or are sensitive to smoke and pollution... heck, even if you have gut issues, this episode will blow your mind!

I bet you didn’t know that our gut health affects our lung health and vice versa! But think about it—if our gut impacts our brain, our skin, and even our mouth, why wouldn’t it also affect our lungs?

In fact, our lungs require certain probiotics that our gut does not, and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today: how to support our lungs by supporting our gut with specific probiotics and GLP-1-supporting products. Not GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic! These are natural products that support the GLP-1 our bodies already produce, without side effects.

I’m joined by Kara from ResBiotic to help shed light on the connection between lung health, gut health, and weight management.

Topics Discussed:

→ The gut-lung axis

→ Our lung microbiome

→ How SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids) aid in lung health

→ Where SCFAs come from

→ Probiotics for our lungs

→ Signs and symptoms of compromised lungs

→ Foods that support lung health

→ GLP-1 support

→ Why gut health influences weight loss or gain

→ How to lose weight by changing our gut microbiome
