Summary

Antibiotics are very often overprescribed...
 
 
And new research shows they may actually worsen outcomes during the flu.
 
 
On today's episode, we dive into studies revealing how antibiotics disrupt your gut microbiome, weaken your immune system, and may increase complications from influenza.
 
 
We also explore the critical connection between gut health, inflammation, and immune function and why a balanced microbiome is key for your overall wellness.
 
 
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3553, where we explore why antibiotics taken for influenza may lead to increased deaths and what you can do instead to support your health naturally.
 
 
Enjoy the show!
