Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize dairy-free immunoglobulins to restore gut health
Dairy-free immunoglobulins, such as the product SBI Protect, can help rebuild and repair the gut lining as part of a gut restoration program.
Avoid food emulsifiers and microbial transglutaminase to protect gut health
Common food emulsifiers and an additive called microbial transglutaminase, which is essentially bacteria-made gluten, are highly damaging to the gut lining.
Connect health history to current issues through functional medicine
Functional medicine uses a detailed timeline of your life, connecting past events like childhood antibiotics or diet to current health issues like IBS.
Select probiotics based on specific health goals
Different probiotic strains are targeted for specific outcomes, such as improving skin, mood, or metabolism, so you should choose a probiotic based on your health goals.
Prioritize probiotic potency over CFU count
The potency of a probiotic, meaning the number of live bacteria that survive to reach your intestine, is more important than the high CFU count listed on the label.
Utilize capsule-in-capsule systems for effective probiotic delivery
A capsule-in-capsule delivery system, like the one used by Seed's DS-01, is designed to protect probiotics from stomach acid and ensure they are released in the small intestine where they can be effective.
Leverage polyphenols as superior prebiotics for gut health
Polyphenols from sources like pomegranate act as a superior prebiotic because they are poorly absorbed, feeding the gut microbiome which then produces beneficial compounds like Urolithin A.
Utilize probiotics to repair antibiotic-induced gut damage
In a clinical trial, the probiotic DS-01 demonstrated a strong rescue effect, almost completely repairing the gut barrier damage caused by a course of antibiotics.
Utilize herbal protocols to effectively treat SIBO
Herbal protocols using products like Berberine, Candibactin-AR, and Atrantil can be effective for treating different types of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
