The Nick Bare Podcast
121: Gut Health Essentials with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

So we do about $5,000 worth of tests on each batch, which amounts to over 120 different tests on every single batch, including glyphosate, including 50 other pesticides, including heavy metals and all of the, like the full assortment. So, I think the point from my perspective, Nick, is that you're not required by any means to use that.

But if that sounds attractive to you, then that's something that you could absolutely check out. But then there's these other choices that exist. Partially hydrolyzed quark gum, you can get organic acacia fiber. These are the ones that I would be looking at.

Yeah. So let's zoom out for a moment and just sort of address prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics.

The Nick Bare Podcast
121: Gut Health Essentials with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

It's something I wanted to talk about. Okay, perfect. Yeah. So everyone has heard of probiotics. By definition, probiotics are living microorganisms that provide benefits to human health. All right. But now you probably are starting to see in your supermarket the word prebiotic. This is starting to show up. What is that? Well, that is food for our gut bacteria.

So in other words, this is basically something that powers the probiotic bacteria. And then we get a benefit as a result of that. Postbiotics is the third. And postbiotics is what they produce. That's actually what really matters is the postbiotic. But in order to get there, you have to basically combine prebiotics and probiotics. You have to put them together.

So when we put them together, then like, for example, you take fiber and you combine it with healthy gut bacteria. And what gets produced by that are the short chain fatty acids. butyrate, acetate, and propionate. Fiber by itself would just run through you. It would do nothing. Microbes without fiber, they can't produce something from nothing.

But when you combine the two, fiber plus the gut microbes, you get this beautiful thing that can power your health. All right, so I tend to favor the prebiotics. It's not to say that there's no value for probiotics. We can dig into that more if you want to. I'm happy to do that. There's definitely value to probiotics. But I tend to favor as a first line approach, the prebiotics.
