In Episode 7 of Health Hype Roast, Kevin Gillespie (Functional Drinks Club) and nutritionist James Ellis (Fabulous Beyond 40) head back to the studio to demystify the two biggest buzzwords in the wellness industry: Prebiotics and Probiotics.

If you’ve ever wondered if that bottle of Kombucha is actually a "silver bullet" for your gut issues, or why some supplements make you feel more bloated than before, this episode is for you.

James breaks down the science of our "inner space," explaining why we are technically 56% microbial and how to properly "seed" and "feed" your internal garden.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The SAS Analogy: Why probiotics are like the special forces (they go in, do the job, and leave) and why consistency is key.
  
• The "Big Three" Prebiotics: A breakdown of Inulin, GOS, and FOS, and how they create the crucial mucus layer that protects your gut wall.
  
• The Common Mistake: Why starting with a full dose of prebiotics can cause "burping and farting" and how to properly scale your intake.
  
• Supplement Red Flags: Why you should look for independent third-party testing and why "umbrella" labels on supermarket shelves might be misleading.
  
• The Food First Approach: The best natural sources of gut-friendly bacteria, from real Parmesan cheese to fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.
  

Whether you’re dealing with IBS, bloating, or just want to optimise your mental health and hormone processing, learn how to stop "supping" your way out of a bad diet and start building a robust microbiome.
