In this podcast, we discuss the rising popularity of probiotics, their health benefits, and how they can help restore balance to the body's microbiome. We explore the foundation of oral health and how adding a probiotic to your oral care routine can assist in countering harmful bacteria. We also delve into the benefits of probiotics and how they can positively impact overall health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental health. Listen in to discover how probiotics can help improve your overall well-being.
But with so many different strains of probiotics, how can you know which probiotic supplements to use?, Why you may choose to incorporate them into your nutrition plan and how they can be beneficial to your health. Burst offers a proprietary blend of probiotic strains that were carefully chosen based on clinical research that showed a substantial reduction in bad breath in over 85% of patients in just a 3-day period.

Key Takeaways:
-Probiotics are live microorganisms that have health benefits when consumed or applied to the body. They are made up of a combination of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that naturally live in your body.
-Probiotics can restore balance to the body's microbiome by eliminating extra bad bacteria and have been linked to many health benefits, particularly in balancing the "GOOD" bacteria in the gut.
-The oral microbiome is the foundation of oral health and plays a critical role in overall health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental health. Your mouth is the gateway to your body.
-A healthy mouth and adding a probiotic to your oral care routine can assist in countering harmful bacteria caused by lifestyle choices such as diet, smoking, medications, lack of oral care, and systemic diseases.
-Everyone's microbiome is unique, and no two people have the same microbial cells, even twins.
-For a microbe to be called a probiotic, it must have several characteristics, including being able to be isolated from a human, survive in your intestine after being swallowed, have a proven benefit to you, and be safely consumed.
-Probiotics are now the third most-used dietary supplement in the U.S. after vitamins and minerals.
-While the gut, particularly the large intestine, is the most commonly known location associated with beneficial microbes, there are several other areas in and on your body that also host good microbes. These areas include your mouth, vagina, urinary tract, skin, and even lungs.
-Probiotics can be found naturally in foods and supplements and have multiple purposes, such as aiding in digestive, women's, and oral health.
-Fermented plant-based foods like miso, kimchi, and sauerkraut, as well as dairy products like yogurt and kefir, are good sources of probiotics. However, for those with dairy sensitivities, non-dairy food sources are recommended.
-Prebiotics, found in fiber-rich foods, serve to feed the good bacteria in the gut and help maintain balance.
