Summary

This episode is brought to you by Gut Food, Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and InsideTracker. Probiotics are critical to protecting and rebuilding the gut. They compete with bad gut bugs and yeast, modulate intestinal function, and are essential to changing and improving immune function. They are also anti-inflammatory, they help us break down food, and they build nutrients. In this episode of my Masterclass series, the second in a series on gut health, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about how probiotics work in the gut, the best fermented foods to eat, and much more. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry.
