Your Gut Remembers: The Long Shadow of Antibiotics

We’ve known for years that antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiome. A new Nature Medicine study suggests those effects may be detectable for much longer than we thought. Researchers combined prescription records with stool microbiome data from about 15,000 adults and reviewed antibiotic use over the previous eight years. The most significant microbiome changes were […]

Childhood Antibiotics & Cognitive Impairment

You might not think of your medicine cabinet as the culprit when it comes to accelerated aging, but anything that jeopardizes your microbiome also jeopardizes your ability to age well, and at the top of the list of microbial disruptors are antibiotics. Antibiotics are arguable one of the most important scientific discoveries of the last […]

Antibiotic Exposure Impacts Cognitive Function

Mounting scientific evidence supports a strong association between the gut microbiome and brain function, including cognition and dementia. Because antibiotic use has significant impacts on bacterial communities in the gut, scientists set out to investigate the link between antibiotic use and cognition in a study published in PLoS One. In a retrospective cohort study (one […]

Things to Do if You’ve Recently Taken an Antibiotic

On today’s show: the 10 most important steps to restore your gut health after taking antibiotics. Although it’s true that your microbiome will take a hit after antibiotics and may even be permanently altered, it’s still possible to offset some of the damage by supporting your gut during and after. Find out how in this episode.

10 Questions to Ask Before Taking an Antibiotic

A one-week course of antibiotics can remove up to 1/3 of your gut bacteria - and that damage can’t be undone by just taking a probiotic, so you need to be absolutely certain that you really need that antibiotic. In today’s episode, I’m going to share ten critical questions to ask your health care provider if you’ve been prescribed an antibiotic that can help you limit the damage to your gut microbiome.

Can Pneumonia Get Better Without Antibiotics?

My daughter (3 years old) was diagnosed with pneumonia. Are antibiotics a must, or can we wait it out and see how her body responds without medication? As flu season approaches, this is a dilemma many of us may experience. Antibiotics are the standard of care for children diagnosed with pneumonia. This is mostly due […]

SIBO & Dysbiosis Part 2: Testing & Treatment

When it comes to treatment for SIBO, It’s unlikely that you are going to be able to just take an antibiotic and be cured. You have to pay attention to what's causing the microbial imbalance in the first place.

To Treat or Not

For anyone who's ever questioned the need - or the risk - of taking an antibiotic for a non-life threatening infection like Strep, this episode gives you a framework to help you make these decisions.

Infections in childhood increase obesity risk

Previous studies have assessed the relationship between antibiotic use and childhood obesity, but these studies didn’t take into account the possibility that the infections themselves (and not just the medications used to treat them) may also increase childhood obesity risk. This study followed over 61,000 children over a 4-year period and assessed infection frequency and […]

Antibiotics Weaken Vaccine Response in Infants

Infants who receive antibiotics may have a weakened response to vaccinations. Scientists have long been aware that some children have lower antibody responses to vaccinations than others, but the reason for the differing response is unknown. This recent study may shed light on what’s going on. The study looked at antibody responses to 4 common […]

You Have to Take Antibiotics – Now What?

our health care provider about whether they’re absolutely necessary, but the verdict is in: you need to take a course of antibiotics. Now what?

Antibiotics Decrease Hormonal Contraceptive Effectiveness

Antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives in a new study. Anecdotal evidence shows women getting pregnant on hormonal contraceptives (this includes the pill, the patch, the vaginal ring, implants, IUDs, and injections) while taking antibiotics. Yet, past research has shown either no interaction between hormonal contraceptives and antibiotics or the findings have been inconclusive. […]
