1 hour 10 minutes

Did you know your body contains 30-40 trillion microbial cells, outnumbering your human cells? Probiotics—live bacteria that support digestion, immunity, and even mental health—are essential for overall wellness. But most people today lack them due to antibiotic overuse and processed diets.

In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe dives into the science of probiotics, revealing their powerful benefits and how to get more of them through food and supplements.

You’ll learn:

How antibiotics and modern diets harm gut health and what to do about it

The gut-brain connection and how probiotics support mental health

Probiotics for weight loss and metabolism regulation

Top probiotic strains for immunity, digestion, and inflammation

The difference between probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics for optimal gut health
