Memorable Quotes:

“A lot of people don't realize the huge link between our brain and our gut and stress and anxiety, and just kind of being in more of that fight or flight state or just our mood, like even depression and stuff can affect our gut health.”

“Antibiotic use is going to be a massive, massive driver for depleted good bacteria or not enough good bacteria. And this is where oftentimes there has been some sort of antibiotic use for a period of time, and then people start struggling with IBS or they start struggling with gut health issue.”
