Ep. 81 Do Probiotics Work?
Our first episode ever was about the microbiome, all the little bacteria and fungi and other folks living on and inside of us. While maybe you might not have heard of the microbiome, you've probably heard of stuff that is *supposed* to help the microbiome -- things like prebiotics and probiotics, which are often advertised as good for your gut health. Is that real? What is the science there? This episode has a promo for Curiosity Cake, a podcast featuring laid back conversations with experts on to interesting topics!
