July 27, 2017
Clinical Nutritionist Martie Whittekin, author of "The Probiotic Cure," joins us for a discussion of GI health. We review a new study, the first of its kind that links infant gut bacteria to smarter toddlers. How to select the right probiotic? Is it a numbers game? What are post-biotics? Why is diversity the key to GI health? What can summer travelers do to ease GI complaints? What role can aloe play in alleviating GI complaints--and how to choose the right type of aloe? Martie recounts her experiences as co-founder of Texans for Health Freedom, an organization that fights to maintain access to alternative care modalities.
