I interview expert prebiotic dietitian Kara Landau about all things gut health but specifically prebiotics. That's not a typo. I said 'prebiotics' and they are different from 'probiotics'. In this episode Kara and I discuss probiotics, prebiotics, symbiotics and resistant starches. We look at how these things benefit our body and in particular our gut. We talk about naturally occurring food sources, the relationship between probiotics, FODMAPs and IBS and how to minimise gut symptoms in sensitive individuals. Our conversation moves to the fascinating topic of food and mood and the emerging science of the gut brain connection known as psychobiotics. We talk about the worst things you can do for your gut heath, good gut health habits and finally, functional foods. Join Kara and I for this informative and easy to listen to conversation about nourishing your gut bacteria.
