Summary
Episode 18: I constantly receive so many questions around gut health and prebiotics/probiotics. What does “leaky gut” mean? How do I know if I have bad gut health? Do prebiotics/probiotics actually work? I compiled all of the most common questions and asked the co-founder of Just Thrive Health, Tina Anderson, to help us answer and debunk all of the misconceptions about gut health and prebiotics/probiotics. Tina previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry, until she realized that she wanted to make a positive change in the world. Tina and her husband, Billy, left the world of pharmaceuticals and went on to create one of the best probiotics in the market. In the episode we learn all things about your gut microbiome, how to have a diverse gut, what to look for when selecting a probiotic, how antibiotics affect your gut, and most importantly how to heal your gut microbiome. I learned so much in this episode and I hope you guys do as well!

| 1:07.3 | back to another episode of Wellness Her Way. We're interviewing Tina Anderson, |
| 1:12.0 | who's an expert on all things gut health. This conversation was so fascinating to me because |
| 1:17.2 | she really takes the time to expose and go into detail about why a lot of probiotics may not be |
| 1:23.1 | effective. I had candy to overgrowth and leaky gut, and unfortunately, because I wasn't aware of the symptoms |
| 1:29.1 | or warning signs of gut dysbiosis, I was not able to be preventative. |
| 1:33.2 | So my goal with this episode was to bring in Tina, the founder of Just Thrive, so we can get |
