The Relationship Between Gut Health & Viral Illnesses | Dr. Robynne Chutkan

When it comes to gut health, the importance of the microbiome can’t be understated. Modern medicine tends to push antibiotics for every infection. But the truth is, antibiotics can actually make you more susceptible to viral illnesses. Antibiotics wipe out the bacteria in your microbiome– which are essential to keeping your immune system functioning properly. Dr. Robynne Chutkan, author of the book 'The Antiviral Gut', breaks down the role of the microbiome in our immune health. She explains why gut health is synonymous with immune health– and how you can keep your microbiome happy. || LINKS || <a href="https://robynnechutkan.com/books/the-anti-viral-gut/">https://robynnechutkan.com/books/the-anti-viral-gut/</a> | <a href="http://www.trybite.com/darin">www.trybite.com/darin</a> | Full Show Notes - <a href="https://darinolien.com/the-relationship-between-gut-health-viral-illnesses-dr-robynne-chutkan/"> https://darinolien.com/the-relationship-between-gut-health-viral-illnesses-dr-robynne-chutkan/</a>
