In this episode of Vitality Radio Podcast, Jared rants about how a tweet by rapper Nicki Minaj sent the media into a frenzy, suggesting she was spreading misinformation about the COVID vaccine. Regardless of the efficacy of her “claims”, Jared hopes it encourages people to do their own research when it comes to drugs, vaccines and other medical interventions.  Jared also points to the weird conundrum of celebrity power and the expectation of social responsibility. He welcomes and supports freedom of speech because it matters.

Then Jared shares critical research on psychobiotics and postbiotics. There is ever-growing, compelling research showing that unique spore-forming probiotics are indeed effective in supporting our brain and our overall health. Jared first shares what he is learning about how the medicinal mushroom, Lion’s Mane, the herb Turmeric, and the mineral magnesium threonate all help prevent inflammation in your brain and support cognitive function. 

Then Jared defines psychobiotics. Psychobiotics are probiotics that impact the brain. Probiotics are key with the gut-brain connection and help rebuild healthy bacteria that are lost over invasive antibiotics and environmental factors. Think through your childhood, medicines you took, and see if they are connected to current bodily issues. Jared guides you on how to approach that navigation and how probiotics may be your answer to resolving those issues. Next week, Jared will finish the topic of psychobiotics.
