It’s never too late to start healing your gut microbiome and improving your gut health. So many adults and children have leaky gut syndrome without even knowing it, but healing the gut is the first step you need to take on any health journey you undertake. I’m joined by Tina Anderson, who is a wealth of knowledge about spore-based probiotics and many other unique probiotic strains, to talk about how probiotics can transform your health. About Tina Anderson Tina Anderson’s journey into the world of health had a unique start and some unusual turns. She began her career as a trial lawyer specializing in settling cases by bringing both sides together, her personal passion. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind to focus on her family. Luckily, she could still use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company.  But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many cases of abuse in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the natural health field and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness.  To share her discovery with the world, Tina and her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.
