The majority of our health problems, from depression and anxiety, to constipation, bloating and weight gain, can boil down to the health of our gut microbiome. In today’s episodes, guest Dr. Marvin Singh dives into what our gut microbiome is and what is causing it to become unhealthy. Plus, he gives a comprehensive guide on how to use probiotics and prebiotics to not only heal our gut, but maintain a healthy gut microbiome long term. You’ll also get a deep understanding of what probiotics and prebiotics are and exactly how to include more into your daily diet.
