91 | Top Probiotic Myths & Behind the Scenes of Big Pharma with Tina Anderson

You guys have been hearing about Just Thrive for the past month while we’ve been focusing on gut health, so I wanted to talk to Tina Anderson, one of their co-founders and CEO’s so you guys could get an inside look at both the founders and at the unique way the brand is structured (based on education!) 

A few updates before we get started: this week on the blog I shared a super fun Harry Potter and Halloween-themed baking recipe for Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins! AND I’ve finally opened up a few slots for the fall and holidays for one-on-one, personalized nutrition services. So whether you’re interested in getting to the bottom of some gut health and digestion issues, or you’re looking for some support on healing your relationship with food and your body through the holidays, send me an email (realfoodwithdana@gmail) or use the contact form on my website!

On today’s episode, Tina shares more about her journey from working as a lawyer, to working for a pharmaceutical company, to starting a natural health supplement brand! We’re discussing how she discovered, from the inside, some of the shady things about the pharmeceutical industry, why most probiotics on the market don’t work, leaky gut, and the top probiotic myths!
