Unveiling Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Gut health for Women and Neurodivergence with Lily Engelke

In today's episode we dive deep with Lily; a BCBA specializing in Neurodivergency and Autism, about the delicate dance between pre & probiotics. We created a mini masterclass all about this subject where Lily got to ask me all the questions that actually came from her community. 

Probiotics are like little superheroes that help our tummies stay healthy, help us digest food, make our immune system stronger, and even keep our brains feeling good. Prebiotics are like their sidekicks, supporting the good bacteria in our tummies, making it easier for them to do their job and keeping us healthy.

We also sharing info about special bacteria that are especially helpful for women. We give a list of foods that are like fuel for these good bacteria, such as bananas, garlic, and yogurt. We explain that these foods help our gut microbiome stay diverse and balanced, making sure we feel our best. 

The conversation also touches on important things like whether it's safe for pregnant or breastfeeding ladies to have these goodies, and they explain how to reintroduce foods if our gut microbes get upset. we gave example of how heat affects some of these bacteria and helping us understand the difference between lactose intolerance and lactose maldigestion.

So, listen up, and let's take care of our Gut microbe for a happy and healthy us!
