In this episode, we meet the doctor and professor Bengt Jeppsson – a pioneer in intestinal health and co-founder of Probi. We hear about his journey from life as a surgeon to becoming a leading player in gut research. Bengt shares how he became his own guinea pig in the early stages of the experiment, to how probiotics got their breakthrough in the form of the ProViva drink. Bengt tells us that as much as 70 percent of our immune system is controlled by gut bacteria, and about its impact on our entire health. He also highlights how processed food damages our intestinal flora, and why red meat can be harmful to us in the long term. We also get answers to questions such as: What exactly is a leaky gut and how does it affect the body? Can a colonic rinse help our intestinal health? And what causes IBS? But it doesn't stop there. We also dive into the fascinating connection between the gut and the brain. How gut health can actually affect our mental health and why Probi's new product, Probi Sense, can be an exciting step forward in the management of mental illness. Finally, Bengt explains why more and more people experience stomach problems in today's society and how probiotics can be a potential solution to the health problems we see today. If you want to understand why the gut plays a crucial role in health and get tips on how to take better care of it, this is an episode you don't want to miss!
