Healing your gut after taking antibiotics is as simple as digging moats and planting gardens! (If that doesn’t make sense to you yet, keep listening).
On today’s episode of Gut Check Radio, I address a polarizing topic in the health and wellness world: the use of antibiotics. In many cases, antibiotics can be an invaluable tool in promoting recovery from illness or infection. However, these benefits don’t come without a cost, particularly one that your gut pays for in the end. I explain the strategies you can implement to help decide if taking antibiotics is the right move for you, followed by a simple and effective guide to help heal your gut afterwards. I address my three major tactics for post-antibiotic gut revitalization: addressing the leaky gut, rebalancing the gut microbiome, and controlling gut inflammation. In addition, I share a few details about some of the helpful (and some of the not so helpful) tools that can aid you during the healing process, including probiotics and CBD.
