Hi Friends,
Within the intricate maze of our digestive tract are trillions of microorganisms. Astonishingly, the DNA 🧬 from these tiny inhabitants surpasses our own human DNA, which is why scientists often refer to the gut microbiome as our “second genome“.
Today, I want to highlight the complex relationship between the human body and the microorganisms residing within our gut. Our gut bacteria play a pivotal role in shaping our health, influencing everything from digestion and metabolism to mood and immunity. Here are some key insights into the top bacterial superheroes in our gut:

Today, I want to highlight the complex relationship between the human body and the microorganisms residing within our gut. Our gut bacteria play a pivotal role in shaping our health, influencing everything from digestion and metabolism to mood and immunity. Here are some key insights into the top bacterial superheroes in our gut:
Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium:
- These strains influence metabolism, potentially aiding in weight management. ⚖️
- The strains may influence the efficiency of our mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of our cells.💥
- Recent studies have found these strains to be warriors against irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms.🛡️
- There is a fascinating connection between these bacteria and our brain🧠, suggesting they might be our allies in preventing depression. Remember, the gut is the 2nd brain!💡
Spore-Based Probiotics:
- Research suggests that spore probiotics can be beneficial for those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
S. boulardii:
- S. boulardii, a probiotic yeast, helps to ward off other harmful yeast in our body. It can help prevent yeast infections, fungal skin infections, dandruff, and an overgrowth of Candida in the gut.
- S. boulardii can help regulate histamine reactions in the body, potentially alleviating allergy symptoms.🌼
- S. boulardii has been shown to be effective in treating IBS, preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, parasite infections, and traveler’s diarrhea🦠.
