Are you tired of gut health advice that starts and ends with a supplement pill? In this episode, you’ll hear from microbiome educator, Anu Simh, about the science of the gut microbiome and how to boost your gut health naturally. She provides a clear, plant-forward roadmap to rebuilding your microbial diversity, including how to restore the gut after antibiotics.

In this episode you’ll hear:
2:30 – Why should we care about the gut microbiome?
3:30 – What are microbes?
5:00 – Plant forward diet, fiber and gut health
7:15 – How to create a healthy gut microbiome
8:45 – Gut microbiome research
10:00 – Probiotics, prebiotics and fermented foods
11:45 – What yogurt is good for gut health?
13:15 – Best foods for gut health
17:00 – Antibiotics and the gut microbiome
18:15 – Travellers’ diarrhea and Saccharomyces boulardii*
19:15 – Raw vs. cooked vegetables
20:30 – Are gut microbiome tests legitimate?
23:00 – Is the gut microbiome influenced by genetics?

*Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic yeast that has been studied for digestive support, particularly during travel. Unlike bacterial probiotics, it is a yeast-based probiotic, which means it is not affected by antibiotics and is generally more stable in varying temperatures. This makes it a practical option to carry while traveling.
