Are gut issues affecting your energy, digestion, or even your bones? Gut health isn’t just about feeling bloated—it impacts your entire body, including your bone health.
In this episode, I have an interesting conversation with Health Engineer Steven Wright, aka The Healthy Gut Guy. We dive into the power of postbiotics—the beneficial compounds created when your gut bacteria ferment fiber.
Steven explains how butyrate, a key postbiotic, can reduce inflammation, improve bone density, and help counter the effects of environmental toxins. We also discuss how he found the best butyrate supplements to support both gut and bone health.
Tune in and learn how postbiotics can transform your health from the inside out!
“If your microbiome is healthy and producing more butyrate, your bones are gonna be thicker, stronger and better off than if you have dysbiosis and lower levels of butyrate." ~ Steven Wright, The Healthy Gut Guy
