How Good Bacteria Can Heal Us

Today Donna Gates, author and founder of The Body Ecology, and I will be discussing the importance of good bacteria and its crucial role it plays in healing our hormones.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How the digestive bacterial microflora impacts the human body
• The connection between the gut, brain function, hormonal balance and autoimmune conditions
• When some bacteria are beneficial for one person and not for another
• Is there beneficial yeast and if yes, where is it found? 
• Cultured foods and their impact on Candida
• Where we can find good bacteria in real food versus supplements

In 1994, Donna introduced the natural sweetener stevia to the U.S., began teaching about fermented foods, and coined the phrase “inner ecosystem” to describe the network of microbes that maintains our basic physiological processes—from digestion to immunity.
