Do you find probiotics confusing? Even healthcare professionals get a little bit lost in this huge world of probiotics! Go into any grocery store or any drug store and we have all of these different options. We know that probiotics can be good for us but which ones are best and for what condition? As a pharmacist, I have always recommended that patients take probiotics while they're taking a course of antibiotics, and for some other indications, but the world of probiotics has grown so quickly, how can we keep up with the scientific evidence behind these products?
There are so many questions that Dragana helps us answer in this interview, including: How probiotics work, what is the definition of a probiotic, are more strains better, are probiotics that are refrigerated of higher quality, can probiotics interact with food or with medications? How do we know what strains are better for different disease states?
It is for this reason that I've invited the author of The Clinical Guide to Probiotics in Canada, Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic to come on the channel today and answer some of these questions for us. I've also asked you for some of your questions and so many of you responded, and we're going to answer your questions today as well!
We're going to learn together in this one, and I hope that you'll find this valuable. Let me know in the comments, what you think, give this video a like, and subscribe if you'd like more content like this in the future!

I make water kefir everyday, and infuse it with a pinch of baking soda and salt, to enhance the mineral content, and to speed up the fermentation process. This probiotic drink, has me noticing that I am very regular. Also I have been very resistant to sickness, and even omicron, could only give me slight symptoms. I have also made milk kefir from my goats in the past, and I was never even slightly sick. I think probiotics are extremely important in healing our gut health which has been greatly wounded by things like antibiotics and contaminated food.
baking soda enriches you with only one mineral - sodium. perhaps even harms the live culture
Thank you both for sharing this information.....it is essential that we get the correct information for each issue. I loved the statement "more of a good thing....is NOT a good thing". Education is key and several Doctors out there really need to be brought up to speed. I have never used probiotics, I have thought of trying them but always found that there were too many options and didn't feel that I could make a properly informed decision. So, thank you for a wonderfully informative interview with an incredibly intelligent, professional and knowledgeable clinician! Love your videos and if it takes an hour to convey the message, then you have my attention for however long it takes. People need to prioritize their time and their health and well-being should top the list! Great work Ladies ❤🇨🇦
Thank you for this Nancy, I’m so glad you found this educational and informative. I truly believe that we need to become our own advocates these days and education is such a powerful tool to enable us to do so, appreciate the kind words, stay well!
Have you used probiotics before? Has this interview been helpful? Let me know what you think and what topics you would like to hear more about in the future!

This interview was amazing, and choosing pure probiotics seems key. I think you are doing amazing, and i look forward to your videos. As far as future topics, it would be great if you could delve into fasting strategies, ketosis, thyroid imbalances, detox methodologies, and immune strengthening inn general.
Thanks for all your work!

Outstanding Lindsey!! 'I' personally am ALL about long form interviews n' such, but sometimes it may be an 'idea' to have a sort of 'Cliff Notes' version {inn addition to the longer form I meant}...be it via text or video clips from such. I just am not sure if a lot of pple are able to dedicate an hour or more at times in this busy world. Greatly appreciate this info and myth busting.
@@abeach5420 i love the longform. So much info and discussion. I can set it while im cooking or reading and just absorb knowledge.
Thank you for the comments and for this insight Adam, it’s good to know how people are listening or watching the videos, it helps me keep these things in mind when developing future content for the audience. Many thanks for the kind words as well.
Thank you for the feedback, this is a great idea - I’m hoping to do something like this in the not too distant future. Many thanks for the support and feedback, always appreciated. Take care.😊
Fascinating and educational! I’ve not really known about Probiotics and only recently learned about the importance of gut Microbiom through following Tim Spector and ZOE studies. As far as I know I think I have a healthy diet and have no health issues other than BPH like most 72 year olds! Only started taking any supplements (Vit D about 18 months ago, and annual health check confirmed I have a normal levels in my blood). Always good to be informed . Thank you.
Great to head Will, glad you enjoyed the interview, Dragana was so lovely to have as a guest on the channel.
I’m from Pakistan, aged 27, and severely underweight 41 kg. My nutritionist prescribed me 12 billion cfu probiotics but I’m thinking of starting by taking a 5 billion cfu dose of probiotics.
This was so informative! Thank you!
Interesting subject. In another program of yours you mentioned the importance of mouth and specifically gum health also in relation to Covid.
I understand that Probiotics also help in keeping gums healthy but should they be ingested or taken orally for this purpose?
Thank you so much for such valuable information regarding probiotics, hats off.

Thank you for the feedback Don. I’m so glad the information was helpful!

Probiotics +digestive enzymes=good)
What should I take for SIBO and leaky gut?
Should people with gastroparesis avoid taking probiotics? because I hear that it slows digestion
What was the cholesterol lowering strain? L.rueteri?
Yes, that’s the one. Listed here: usprobioticguide.com/?USA_CHART

is probiotics good for persons with gerd?
Thank you for this excellent question. I asked Dragana for her take on this as she is more of an expert in this area. Here is her response: No specific indication or sufficient publications for probiotics in GERD.
I had success with L. reuteri DSM 17938 ( BioGaia) in patients with GERD ( based on studies done in infants with regurgitation). That seems to offer symptoms relief.
Hope this helps!
