How To Improve Your Health With Probiotics

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Paleovalley, and
InsideTracker.   Your gut is your inner garden—the more good
bugs you have in it the more likely it is to flourish. Our gut
bacteria regulate many of our bodily functions, from creating
vitamins to controlling our immune system, our brain function, and,
of course, our metabolism and weight. They are critical to our
long-term health. But even if you’re eating the right things, you
may need some outside assistance maintaining plentiful and diverse
gut bacteria. Probiotics help populate your gut with beneficial
bacteria, improving your sleep, daily elimination, brain health,
and so much more.  In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru
Purohit, Dr. Tracy Shafizadeh, and Dr. Elizabeth Boham about
probiotics, the importance of the gut microbiome starting in
infancy, and why you should work with a skilled practitioner to
choose the right probiotic for you.   Dhru Purohit is a
podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and
wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top

and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.
Dr. Tracy Shafizadeh is leading the work in understanding the
infant microbiome. She is a nutritional scientist who helps new and
expectant moms learn about creating healthy gut bugs in their
babies. Dr. Shafizadeh received her Ph.D. in nutritional biology
from the University of California, Davis, and spends her free time
"loving the guts" out of her two boys.   Dr. Elizabeth Boham
is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine
at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and
