Have you heard of spore-based probiotics? They’re a scientifically-proven type of healthy bacteria that can resolve gut issues. 

It turns out that 95% of good bacteria found in yogurts and most other supplements do not survive past the acids in our stomachs. In other words, most probiotics are completely ineffective! If you’re wondering what kind of probiotic you should take that can actually work to improve digestion, then you’ll love this new podcast episode of Clean Eating for Women.

which probiotics can heal leaky gut?

And, as part of this new podcast interview, I’m offering a giveaway worth $100 in Just Thrive Probiotics to one lucky reader. Read onto the end to find the entry link (full disclosure: I am an affiliate with Just Thrive after testing out the product on myself).

Episode #33: Spore-Based Probiotics for Healing with Microbiologist Kiran Krishnan

 

In this episode of the Clean Eating for Women podcast:

  • Kiran gives us an overview of probiotics
  • We learn what spore based probiotics are and how they differ from other types
  • How taking a dose of spore-based probiotics for 30 days has been proven to reverse leaky gut (here’s the link to the study)
  • How 80% of our immune system exists in our gut

Some highlights of this episode on Probiotics for Healing with Just Thrive Microbiologist Kiran Krishnan: 

  1. Kiran’s super power is that he is a nerd that can talk to humans. He is going to explain some complicated topics in an easy to understand and “digestible” way. I heard Kiran on another podcast and knew he would be a great guest for the show. [01:13]
  2. Probiotics were first invented by Elie Metchnikoff. He put forth the idea that illness comes from an overabundance of bad bacteria. Auto intoxication. Using good bacteria to counteract bad bacteria. [02:11]
  3. A probiotic should be a live microorganism. It’s a bacteria of some sort that can get into your system and make significant and valuable changes to the rest of the population in your digestive system and immune system. [03:17]
  4. If we have the right type of bacteria in our gut, we can create a significant amount of value in the way our body and our immune system functions. A probiotic is a good bacteria that goes to work for you fixing damage that we have done to our microbiome. [04:08]
  5. Things that can damage our microbiome can be too much sugar or taking antibiotics. We are a collection of thousands of organisms that work together as a whole. Our modern environment disrupts the cycle. Preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, glyphosate, chlorine, fluoride, and 80% of our personal care products destroy our bodies bacterial cultures. [04:52]
  6. Spore based probiotics form an endospore to protect themselves. They can survive in stomach acid. Then in the gut, they recondition the environment. They find bad bacteria and kill them off and feed the good bacteria through prebiotic foods. [11:33]
  7. Leaky gut is what is driving chronic inflammation that is driving chronic disease. Endotoxins leak through the intestinal lining and get into your bloodstream. This sets off inflammation and starts the process of disease. Obesity, brain fog, anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, and autoimmune diseases are all caused by toxins leaking from the gut. [19:42]
  8. Spore based probiotics are able to stop leaky gut in 30 days. It can help heal and reverse the entire condition. Metabolic endotoxemia is the process of digestion increasing intestinal leakiness. [25:59]
  9. The vast majority of the body can heal if we put it in a healing state. We can’t be in a healing state with a continuous flood of toxins and inflammation just from eating food. [31:04]

As mentioned, I’m offering $100 in Just Thrive probiotics (two full bottles). This giveaway is open to residents of the continental US. One winner will be selected at random on Tuesday, 5/29/18. Enter here:

  3. I’ve recently read some studies about the relationship between probiotics and sleep. I am a chronic insomniac and I would be very interested in learning more about the validity of these claims

  4. New followers and I’m loving your recipes! Praying we are able to try these probiotics from thrive. My 12 year old daughter has chronic urinary tract infections and bladder infections and constant stomach pain and her dr has recommended taking probiotics. We have been dealing with this practically since birth with no headway or relief for her. We have tried several probiotics and have found that the ones we tried weren’t making it past the stomach enzymes so they werent doing anything but wasting our money and we are having trouble finding some that actually survive. Thanks for the giveaway and I love your podcast! Crossing all my fingers and my toes.

  5. I had no idea about the difference in probiotics. I have leaky gut & Hashimoto’s & it is critical that I heal my gut to obtain my health. A miracle to cure leaky gut in 30 days is a blessing. Even if I don’t win the raffle I am so going to buy this brand. Thanks for sharing this information. I finally feel like I have some hope in my recovery.

  8. Fairly certain I have Leaky gut and IBS according to my Functional dr. I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am wondering if I have hashimotos now. I would love to hear more about supplements for healing Leaky gut and how to lower cholesterol. I have heard such wonderful things about this probiotic and would love to try! I feel like I have tried so many and haven’t felt much improvement. Thanks for a fun giveaway!

  11. I credit probiotics with helping me kick my IBS after so many long years of suffering. I have taken many different types but haven’t heard about the the spore based so this was new info for me. I am diving deeper into all types of pain management techniques and would like to learn more about them. Even though I’m in the medical field, I feel the less pills we need to take, the better! I know pain management is such a huge health issue but I’m loving all the new and updated info I’ve learned so far.

  12. Probiotics that can cure leaky gut sounds like a miracle. I am going to look for this brand. I have leaky gut & Hashimotos. I didn’t realize that some probiotics did not survive. I will put my name in, but even if I don’t win this brand sounds like I can win the war on leaky gut.

  14. Came across this website looking for probiotic options for my husband whom suffers from Psoriasis. After doing some research I found it sometimes starts in the GUT. Hoping to heal his psoriasis naturally, and live healthier lifestyles. 🙂

  16. I would like to learn more about heart health for women. Symptoms are different for women. what are some good supplements to help protect our hearts?

    Reply

  17. I would love to learn more about adrenal fatigue and how it relates to hormonal imbalances. I’m currently dealing with some health issues that seem to be circling around these two topics and I’ll take all the information I can get!

  18. This is such an awesome post, thank you!! I’m a fan of probiotics & have definitely seen benefit from taking them daily, BUT I know there are a lot of issues with regulation & products living up to claims. Plus it certainly does make sense that most probiotics cannot make it past our stomachs. I’ve had immune issues this year – I believe due to some things in my living environment that are out of my control for the time being – and would absolutely love to try Thrive.

    

I would be super curious to learn more about lymphatic drainage & how toxins held in the skin/tissue affect us, especially since I started dry brushing my body earlier this year.

    Also, since I’m not able to listen to podcasts (or any audio) – thank you so much for providing an accessible, readable list of highlights from this episode! 😀

  21. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety. It would be wonderful to alleviate those symptoms.

  24. My main concern besides my health is my heart. But I think most of the time when my chest is hurting is because of my gut and gas. I could go into more detail but I wont. I would love to try these. My doctor told me to try that yogurt a while back. I did and it helped a little but I also have gallbladder problems rising. I am not sure what foods are causing the trouble. So for now I am sticking to a broth like diet and its messed my gut up again. I have an appointment soon. I am just pretty sure she will say go for the probiotics.

  27. I’m interested in learning more about brain fog and how to get rid of it – maybe first by identifying what can/is causing it?
