Topics:

- Atrantil and Atrantil Pro

- Dr. Brown’s recently-launched, daily supplement pack for SIBO

- A follow-up to Dr. Dempsey’s episode: Microbiome deep dive

- Polyphenols are used by gut microbes to produce smaller beneficial, anti-inflammatory metabolites that the body uses to maintain optimal health.

- These metabolites have a range of benefits: gut motility, inflammation, brain health, immune health, and more

- A poor microbiome (ie. dysbiosis) leads to harmful metabolites

- The microbiome takes a little time to build up and diversify

- Large & stable polyphenols are metabolized by the microbiome to produce metabolites we commonly supplement with such as quercetin. Therefore, a restored microbiome will provide you with those metabolites without needing to supplement.

- “Sporebiotics” vs. Probiotics

- Sporebiotics are emerging and could be an ultimate gut health biohack
