Ep. 246: Probiotics 101–Unlocking Gut, Thyroid, Hormones & Weight

Think the microbes in your gut are just about digestion? Think again. In this episode, we dive into the under-the-radar role of probiotics and your gut microbiome — and how they may influence not just digestion, but hormones, immune function, metabolic health, and weight.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • What exactly probiotics are (and how they differ from general gut bacteria) — and why strain, dose, and context matter.

  • How your gut health intersects with thyroid conditions, menopause or perimenopause, and hormonal changes.

  • How a healthy gut — supported by the right probiotic foods or supplements — might help ease gut-related issues and support better nutrient absorption, immune balance, and overall well-being.

  • What the current science says (and doesn’t say) about probiotics and weight management.

  • Practical tips: how to choose probiotic foods and supplements wisely, what to look for on a label , and how to combine them with fiber, nutrition, and lifestyle habits for the best results.

If you’re navigating thyroid health, hormone shifts, mid-life metabolism, or gut issues — or simply curious about whether probiotics deserve a place in your wellness toolkit — this episode will walk you through what works, what’s speculative, and how to approach probiotics with clarity rather than hype.
