Even though Sarah has a PhD, she sometimes has trouble using a coffee maker. Stacy's coffee maker, to be specific!
It's challenging

Just Thrive probiotic is made from soil-based organisms which are very unique. They're from the genus, Bacillus, which is very resilient and capable of surviving in a wide variety of environments.
As our lives are getting more hygienic from being inside and rarely playing in the dirt, so we're getting fewer and fewer of these important bacteria.
These are spore-forming bacteria which makes them very resistant to stomach acid. You can actually cook with this probiotic because it's resilient up to 400+ degrees.
Normal bifidobacteria and lactobacillus don't usually take up resident in your gut. Just Thrive's Bacillus probiotic, however, survives and populates your gut!
Sarah is impressed by Just Thrive because they do their research and they really care about getting it right.
Stacy notes that it can be hard to notice a difference when you start taking a probiotic. She personally notices a reduction in her sugar cravings when she uses Just Thrive.
Just Thrive is dairy-free.
Always check with your doctor before starting a new supplement.

(16:30) Listener question
TeeDee says:"Be glad if you're still able to tolerate fruits, vegetables and anything that is fermented, cultured, aged, etc. I was going along quite well on paleo, then low carb, until I started to get a serious reaction to various foods. I had eliminated gluten a couple years ago when I found out it can be bad for people who've had their gall bladder removed (I had mine out at 19 yrs and am now 61) or who have issues with ibs or skin problems (rashes, hives, psoriasis). Cutting it out helped a lot, then I started breaking out on my face when I would eat any dairy, including aged cheddar, butter, etc. My face would start burning up and develop inflamed pustules all over, so I gave up all dairy, too. I needed to lose weight, so I adopted a ketogenic diet very low in carbs, and that helped with certain digestive issues (for the most part, but not all the way); it also cleared up my psoriasis, improved my mood a bit (I've had periods of severe major depressive disorder since my late teens and panic disorder so bad I couldn't step out my front door for years without my bowels emptying within seconds) and it allowed me to lose a good amount of weight when I kept fat intake on the lower/moderate side instead of high fat.Recently, however, the eruptions on my face were coming after eating small amounts of veg like several slices of cucumber, perhaps 2 or 3 cherry tomatoes with olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a salad. Even fruit or a pickle would cause it and I was at my wits end trying to figure out what had caused which outbreak. Finally, even spices on a piece of chicken such as granulated garlic or cayenne pepper could no longer be tolerated and I just wanted to cry as it seemed anything I ate triggered an outbreak. Something as simple as mineral water with 'natural flavors' like mango, etc. would cause it...chamomile tea, etc. etc. All had to be eliminated.Now, for the past 3 weeks, I can't eat anything but meat, chicken, fish and water. No coffee, no teas of any kind, just
