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.

03:20 Tina shares her story: the journey to the world of probiotics.
04:15 We get an insight into the abuses in the pharmaceutical industry.
04:53 Tina tells us the Sales Representative anecdote that really made them pivot from the pharmaceutical industry in the midst of a high point in her and her husband's careers.
06:47 We learn about the day the opportunity to create Just Thrive presented itself for Tina and her husband.
08:16 Tina lets us in on her biggest motivation.

10:48 Tina explains what is the biggest difference between spore-based probiotics and regular probiotics.
10:58 Dr. Gladden explains that dead bacteria can also have an effect on our guts but live bacteria could, theoretically, be better.
11:25 Tina elaborates on what spore probiotics do that other probiotics can't do.
12:08 Tina talks about a gut model study where they confirmed a 30% favorable shift in the microbiome after 2 weeks on it.
13:04 Dr. Gladden explains that there is no "normal" gut biome.
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?
15:15 Tina also clarifies a big distinction in the colonization period of spore-based probiotics vs non-spore probiotics.
15:41 Dr. Gladden explains the concept of spores and asks how they work in this context.
16:57 Tina talks about a study where they measured the spores antibiotic survival capabilities.
17:16 Dr. Gladden elaborates on how antibiotics alter the gut biome.
17:54 Tina explains that spore probiotics can rehab AND maintain our health.
19:05 Dr. Gladden asks if sporebiotics can repair leaky-gut. Tina goes on to describe just how impressive is the level of restoration spores can achieve, proved by a double-blinded study that was performed.
21:31 Tina gives a better understanding of how exponentially detrimental leaky-gut can be to our health with a helpful leaky faucet comparison.
22:03 Dr. Gladden explains that the body is not built to be fragile but it has a threshold, resulting in people living with issues they don't know they have which are driving their inflammation levels up and accelerating aging.
22:30 Tina lists a number of issues and disorders that are stemming from the gut, although we don’t associate them with it.
24:05 Tina describes the spore-based probiotics success with bloating issues, diarrhea, and constipation.
24:40 Tina explains that our gut is foundational for our health and how it is the starting point of general wellness.
25:26 Dr.Gladden asks about using spore-based probiotics with antibiotics to decrease the negative effects of the latter, like induced diarrhea. Tina talks about a study that proved the spores effectiveness with this, and survivability to the strongest antibiotics.
26:31 How is it helping people's brain function?
27:00 Tina lists all the brain hormones that are produced in our gut.
27:17 Tina introduces the psychobiotic!
28:02 Tina tells us about other offenders of brain health that the psychobiotic is also helping with.
28:44 Dr. Gladden introduces the topic of probiotic cocktails.
29:17 Tina explains why a cocktail makes much more sense than just taking one probiotic.
30:27 Dr. Gladden inquires about what's on the drawing board for Just Thrive.
31:35 Tina explains that they're only focused on bringing what's truly missing in the market and how they want to make an impact by providing what's needed and what's best.
32:18 Dr. Gladden asks what kind of conditions/disorders they're targeting with the psychobiotic.
32:47 Tina explains how the psychobiotic targets not only certain disorders but specifically works to improve cognitive function too.
33:09 How quickly does this psychobiotic work?
34:04 Tina gives her recommendations for us to take action in favor of our longevity.
34:49 Dr. G explains how fasting acts as a workout for our gut biome.
35:09 Tina tells us the number of hours it would be beneficial to fast for and how to get there.
36:10 Tina shares which probiotics she takes right now.
36:44 Dr. Gladden talks about how he tries not to buy the same thing twice when he's doing his grocery shopping, and Tina explains how having a diverse microbiome is the key to being healthy.
39:04 Tina explains what is the key difference between their spore-based probiotics and all the other probiotics that are now coming into the market.
40:03 Dr. Gladden and Tina tell us how we can get a hold of the direct to consumer bio equivalent version of practitioner grade spore-based probiotics through Just Thrive.
41:13 Tina gives out the Just Thrive's website address: (justthrivehealth.com) to get these sporebiotics with a 20% discount.
