New Probiotic Strains & Bone Health: The Emerging Science with Dr. Oscar Coetzee

New probiotic strains may hold the key to better gut health, stronger bones, and even longevity. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Oscar Coetzee, a recognized expert in psychology, human nutrition, and metabolic health, to discuss the latest research on probiotics and bone health.

We explore why traditional probiotics may not always provide lasting results and how new strains are designed to target root causes of inflammation, optimize gut balance, and support calcium metabolism.

We also cover practical tips for implementing probiotics safely, including guidance on timing, dosage, and considerations for people with SIBO, thyroid medication, or other conditions. Plus, we discuss the impact of gluten sensitivity on inflammation and bone health, emphasizing holistic lifestyle approaches.

Today's conversation is to help you understand the emerging science behind probiotics and why your gut matters for bone health.

"Our guts and the intelligence of these microbes far exceed anything that we have in our brains. They are literally intellectual to the point that they can resurrect life." ~ Dr. Oscar Coetzee, MS, DCN
