I'd like to discuss some really key points about when to take

probiotics or even consuming probiotic foods because how those microbes going to survive

strong stomach acid in your stomach. So do they survive the stomach at all? That's the topic

of today. Now there's a couple things you need to know about microbes. Microbes literally

run the world. They convert carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur to available forms that plants

and animals can use that all life forms can use. I mean, even photosynthesis, right? Everyone

thinks that the plant is responsible for most of the photosynthesis where they're converting

light and air and water into these biochemicals and fuel. But do you know that the microbes contribute

to photosynthesis the most? So you have microbes in the soil, you have microbes in the roots,

you have microbes in the plants, you have microbes in animals, you have microbes in and on our bodies.

In fact, there are 10X more microbes living inside and on our bodies than ourselves. And so our

bodies are mostly composed of microbes and all plants and animals have a very close important

relationship in that they help make nutrients available. They provide immune protection. They

protect against pathogens. They help you detoxify. They help you digest food. They help make vitamins.

They help digest things that you can't digest like fiber. Some medications are also made for microbes

like antibiotics. They're made for microbes. And as a side note, anytime you take an antibiotic

always at the same time take a probiotic just to prevent a candida infection because it's the

microbes that keep this candida in check. And when you take an antibiotic, it might kill off a good

portion of those microbes, but the ones that don't die become now resistant to the microbes and

they become stronger and harder to kill. This is why it's not a good idea to take a lot of antibiotics.

And then we have fermented foods, right? All the foods that you probably love, you have breads,

chocolate, cheese, beer, wine, sourdough bread, pizza crust, anything that's fermented comes from
