Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Now, there's an interesting link or association between using probiotics and improving

0:29.8

acid reflex or heartburn. But the question is, why? How can a probiotic that affects the gut

0:35.5

bacteria affect the stomach? And one study, I read 79% of people who took probiotics

0:43.2

benefited from their acid reflex symptom. So there's a couple of reasons why probiotics

0:48.6

might help you. One is that you have to look at the digestive system as one whole connecting

0:56.0

organ or system. And as you affect one part of it, the other parts are affected. So one

1:01.5

type of bacteria we have is the lactic acid bacteria. And this bacteria actually acidifies

1:08.4

a colon. Then you also have lactic acid yeast, which acidifies the colon as well. So these

1:13.6

microbes help you digest. And the more you have complete digestion in the lower part,

1:18.0

the better it's going to be for the upper part, like the stomach. If you're not digesting

1:22.8

because you don't have enough microbiome in your large intestine, that can also lead to

1:28.8

an overgrowth of bacteria in your small intestine called SIBO. And that can also back up the whole

1:33.5

system when you get regurgitation of fluids, like for example, lactic acid coming from the

1:40.7

small intestine up into the stomach. You can also have bile reflex or regurgitation coming

1:45.3

up in the stomach. And then you can also have hydrochloric acid that backs up into the esophagus,

1:51.1

simply because you don't have all the help of your large intestine in the lower part. Now,

1:56.0

the other point I want to bring up is this gut brain axis or this relationship between your

2:01.2

brain and your gut. It's connected by a very large nerve called the vagus nerve. And the vagus

2:07.9

nerve is bi-directional. Okay. So in other words, it communicates going up this way and communicates

2:13.2

going down this way. So whatever's happening down here affects your brain and whatever happens
