Summary

With this Covid pandemic still in full swing, Dr. Anthony Gustin and Dr. Michael Ruscio, a best-selling author and Doctor of Natural Medicine, wanted to share a side that’s rarely talked about: combating viruses through improving gut health.

In this episode, Dr. Ruscio shares some incredible research on how certain viruses already respond to probiotics and how your gut health can leave you vulnerable or protected from viruses.

Dr. Ruscio and Dr. Gustin also chat about their thoughts on the current pandemic, how healthcare is going to change over the next five, 10, and 15 years from now, and so much more.

You’ll also hear Dr. Ruscio’s incredible insight into probiotics, including the three main types, the research behind each one, and what to do if you’re not responding well to probiotics right now.

He also shares the top sources of probiotic rich foods and how they compare to taking probiotics.

Since Dr. Ruscio has been on the show before, he’s also going to discuss what’s changed for him in his clinical practice since coming on.

If you haven’t caught Dr. Ruscio’s past episodes or you’re not familiar with him, he’s a Doctor of Natural Medicine, a chiropractor, clinical researcher, and best-selling author.

He’s also a committee member of the Naturopathic Board of Gastroenterology research division and his work has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals.

To say Dr. Ruscio is a pioneer in the gut-health space would be an understatement.

By tuning in, you’ll learn why your gut health could be the key to combating viruses.
