Mindsip insights from this episode:
Combine bacillus spore probiotics with IgG for leaky gut relief
For addressing leaky gut, a powerful one-two punch is combining transient bacillus spore probiotics with an immunoglobulin G (IgG) supplement.
Distinguish die-off from inflammatory reactions with IL-6 testing
A negative reaction to a probiotic lasting a few days is likely a beneficial 'die-off' reaction, while a prolonged one could be an inflammatory response, which can be confirmed with an IL-6 blood test.
Create probiotic fermented fruit juice at home
You can create a fermented, nutrient-enhanced fruit juice by adding a spore probiotic capsule to a mason jar with fruit and water and letting it sit on your counter for a few days.
Utilize Bifidobacterium longum 1714 to reduce stress and promote calmness
The psychobiotic strain Bifidobacterium longum 1714, found in the Just Calm product, is clinically shown to lower cortisol and shift brainwaves into a calmer theta state.
Address leaky gut to combat global health crisis
According to a meta-analysis of human clinical trials, intestinal permeability (leaky gut) is considered the number one cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide.
Rethink probiotics: Most strains trigger inflammation
Contrary to popular belief, research from University College Cork shows the vast majority of widely used probiotic strains elicit a systemic inflammatory response, which can worsen conditions for many people.
Avoid multi-strain probiotics to support gut recovery after antibiotics
A Weizmann Institute study found that common multi-strain probiotics can actually hinder the gut's recovery after antibiotics by competing with your native bacteria for resources.
Use probiotics as mouthwash to enhance oral microbiome and immunity
You can break open a spore probiotic capsule and swish it in your mouth to support the oral microbiome and up-regulate the immune response in your upper respiratory tract.
Bake with spore-based probiotics for health benefits
Spore-based probiotics are so hardy they can withstand heat up to 455 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing you to bake them into food without destroying them.
