Ads for probiotic supplements are everywhere you turn these days, and they promise you everything under the sun. They will balance your “good” and “bad” gut bacteria, improve depression or anxiety, help you lose weight, reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol—the list goes on. Are all these claims true? Are some of them true? Are any of them based on rigorous scientific inquiry?

The money spent on marketing probiotics, the number of individuals using them, and the technology to better understand the human microbiome have all increased dramatically in the 21st century. What an exciting time for research and a hopeful era for new ways to cure disease. But, as with any new area of inquiry, the field of gut microbiome science is fertile soil for pseudoscience, exaggeration, and unscrupulous marketing. How can the consumer tell what information is based on solid science, and what is the magic pill of wishful thinking?

In the 12 fascinating lectures of Gut Health Explained, Dr. Gabrielle Fundaro shares the latest scientific knowledge about the trillions of organisms that live in your gut. Humans have coevolved with this gut microbiota for such a long time that the microbiome interacts with every system in your body. It produces useful compounds that nourish intestinal cells, support metabolic health, protect against certain types of cancer, influence brain activity, and support the immune system—in fact, you might be surprised to learn that the gut contains about 70 percent of the body’s immune tissues and cells.
