How This Gut-Protective Bacteria Can Help Prevent And Treat Chronic Disease

This episode is brought to you by Rupa University, Pique, and Super
Simple Grassfed Protein. Our gut bacteria regulate many of our
bodily functions, from creating vitamins to regulating our immune
system, our brain function, and of course, our metabolism and
weight. They are critical to our long-term health. One such
bacteria is Akkermansia muciniphila, which accounts for 1%–5% of
our gut microbiome—or at least it’s supposed to!  In today’s
episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I dive into
Akkermansia—what it is, what role it plays in chronic disease
prevention, and what you can do to increase it. This episode is
brought to you by Rupa University, Pique, and Super Simple Grassfed
Protein. If you’re a healthcare provider who wants to learn more
