It is commonly known that probiotics are helpful for good digestion and to combat diarrhea or yeast overgrowth while taking antibiotics. But probiotics, and a host of other beneficial microbes, can do so much more than that! The role they play in the gut improves your overall immune system, and their byproducts of digesting fiber communicate with both your gut cells and your brain!  In this episode we discuss 5 specific benefits: 

1. Improved integrity of your gut lining that prevents or heals leaky gut syndrome
2. Reduced inflammation, which improves physical and mental health
3. Suppressed appetite and increased brown fat for a leaner body 
4. Increased insulin sensitivity for improved blood sugar control
5. The production and absorption of serotonin and other feel-good neurotransmitters in the gut

Find out how you can build a richer supply of these beneficial microbes in your gut!
