Description
Join Dr. Gladden and Tina Anderson on this conversation about spore-based probiotics and their ability to rehab your overall health by targeting the bacteria in your gut. Tina Anderson, formerly a lawyer, used to work in the pharmaceutical industry before finding out that it wasn't the best way for her to help people and change their lives. After a harsh revelation during the peak of their careers, Tina and her husband pivoted to the world of natural and progressive health, and disease prevention. As a result of their discovery, they created a unique supplement with superior probiotic strains, giving birth to Just Thrive. These spore-based practitioner grade probiotics are the product that Tina and her husband created to help you take control of your health and change your life. 01:10 Dr. Gladden tells us what's exciting about this episode and the things we will come to understand. 02:10 Dr. Gladden introduces Tina Anderson. 03:20 Tina shares her story: the journey to the world of probiotics. 04:15 We get an insight into the abuses in the pharmaceutical industry. 04:53 Tina tells us the Sales Representative anecdote that really made them pivot from the pharmaceutical industry in the midst of a high point in her and her husband's careers. 06:47 We learn about the day the opportunity to create Just Thrive presented itself for Tina and her husband. 08:16 Tina lets us in on her biggest motivation. 08:45 Tina explains why her husband was seeing a naturopath at that time. Was someone in the family experiencing gut issues? 09:59 We are introduced to spore-based probiotics and what's special about them. 10:48 Tina explains what is the biggest difference between spore-based probiotics and regular probiotics. 10:58 Dr. Gladden explains that dead bacteria can also have an effect on our guts but live bacteria could, theoretically, be better. 11:25 Tina elaborates on what spore probiotics do that other probiotics can't do. 12:08 Tina talks about a gut model study where they confirmed a 30% favorable shift in the microbiome after 2 weeks on it. 13:04 Dr. Gladden explains that there is no "normal" gut biome. 14:08 We find out how exactly are these spores modulating the gut biome. 14:25 Tina makes a very good analogy where our gut is a garden and sporebiotics are the gardener and not just new seeds, as a way to differentiate them and their effects from those of regular probiotics. Are new seeds enough? Or do we need a gardener? 15:15 Tina also clarifies a big distinction in the colonization period of spore-based probiotics vs non-spore probiotics. 15:41 Dr. Gladden explains the concept of spores and asks how they work in this context. 16:57 Tina talks about a study where they measured the spores antibiotic survival capabilities. 17:16 Dr. Gladden elaborates on how antibiotics alter the gut biome. 17:54 Tina explains that spore probiotics can rehab AND maintain our health. 19:05 Dr. Gladden asks if sporebiotics can repair leaky-gut. Tina goes on to describe just how impressive is the level of restoration spores can achieve, proved by a double-blinded study that was performed. 21:31 Tina gives a better understanding of how exponentially detrimental leaky-gut can be to our health with a helpful leaky faucet comparison. 22:03 Dr. Gladden explains that the body is not built to be fragile but it has a threshold, resulting in people living with issues they don't know they have which are driving their inflammation levels up and accelerating aging. 22:30 Tina lists a number of issues and disorders that are stemming from the gut, although we don’t associate them with it. 24:05 Tina describes the spore-based probiotics success with bloating issues, diarrhea, and constipation. 24:40 Tina explains that our gut is foundational for our health and how it is the starting point of general wellness. 25:26 Dr.Gladden asks about using spore-based probiotics with antibiotics to dec
