Dr. Adam Brockman interviews pharmacist and nutrition expert Dr. Ross Pelton about postbiotics, compounds produced during the fermentation process by beneficial bacteria. Dr. Pelton explains that postbiotics—not just probiotics—are the active substances that support gut health, immunity, and communication between the gut and other organs.
He introduces Dr. O’Hara’s Postbiotic Fermented Food Concentrate, a product created through a five-year fermentation process using fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweeds. Each sachet contains the equivalent of five capsules of Dr. O’Hara’s Professional Formula and delivers over 500 postbiotic metabolites.
The discussion emphasizes that a healthy gut depends on:
- Eating a diverse, plant-based diet rich in fiber and polyphenols.
- Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome (more beneficial than harmful bacteria).
- Supporting the body’s natural production of postbiotics.
The segment concludes by encouraging listeners to prioritize gut health through nutrition and informed supplement choices while noting that postbiotics are an emerging area of microbiome research.esciunt.
