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.

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?
