211 – How to Read a Probiotic Label – My Interview with Natasha Trenev
by Steve Lankford @ Health Quest Podcast
Thu Aug 11 14:47:41 PDT 2016
In this interview Natasha will introduce us to the industry adopted probiotic standards. As you examine this issue you will gain the knowledge about how to judge and choose a probiotic. Natasha will explain how and why these standards are important and how consumers can make judgments based on those standards. If consumers don't know what to look for then it is nearly impossible to make an informed choice. This is a challenge for all consumers of nutritional products. We have discussed this several times here at HealthQuestPodcast.com. Until the FDA has corralled the cheaters, consumers must become wary and educated. Good companies with great products are out there. You need to learn the difference. Good companies want to earn your trust because they do everything possible to created safe and effective products. Bad companies, or even careless companies don't care about quality, effectiveness or even safety.

In this interview with Jolie Root you are going to learn about some of the current leading edge research with probiotics.

230 – Probiotics for Respiratory Health – My Interview with Neil Levin
by Steve Lankford @ Health Quest Podcast
Fri Mar 17 12:53:23 PDT 2017
We will explore the science of NOW Respiratory Care Probiotic. Respiratory Care Probiotic is a probiotic combination featuring L. acidophilus NCFM®, which has been used in over 60 scientific studies. When used alone or in combination with B. lactis Bl-04, NCFM® has been shown to support a robust and balanced immune response to seasonal respiratory challenges, as well as to support an active lifestyle. NCFM® can rapidly populate the intestine and adhere to the intestinal wall, which is helpful for use during and after temporary disruptions to intestinal microbiota. Remember, nutrients are not drugs and do not treat diseases like respiratory allergies. Supplements like probiotics are natural bacteria that provide a functional benefit that supports respiratory health. Don't confuse nutritional support with drugs. They are not the same.

215 – Probiotic Support for Irritable Bowel Syndrome – My Interview with Dr. Anurag Pande
by Steve Lankford @ Health Quest Podcast
Thu Oct 20 12:56:39 PDT 2016
In this interview Dr. Pande will discuss some of the issues with probiotics in general. If you are an informed consumer then you know that there are many products that are low quality and low effectiveness that exist in the marketplace. We have discussed these issues in previous podcasts. The solution is to understand the distinctions and seek out high quality products with clinical science to validate their claims. In this case we are discussing the clinical evidence for IBS and Lactospore. Lactospore is also a unique probiotic in the manner in which it protects itself and that it is heat stable. It can even be used in baked goods and still remain viable. That's a first for me. Heat is usually destructive to probiotics. So this is an interesting exploration of a novel probiotic. Dr. Pande explains this very well.

Probiotics have been used to create healthy intestinal balance in humans for years.

218 – Nurturing Your Probiotic Environment – My Interview with Josée Fortin
by Steve Lankford @ Health Quest Podcast
Thu Nov 17 08:41:50 PST 2016
In this interview I will be speaking with Josée Fortin, who is a naturopath from Canada. We will explore one of A Vogels products Molkosan. Molkosan is a prebiotic made from a concentrated whey rich in L+ Lactic Acid. Molkosan is one of Alfred Vogel’s original remedies. Made from whey obtained from organic milk, Molkosan is rich in a substance known as L+ lactic acid which is now known to support the growth of good gut bacteria. In this way, it acts as a prebiotic. It does this by creating the proper and desirable colon pH. Proper pH = happy bacteria which will flourish better. This is different from prebiotic fibers which serve as food for the bacteria. This is more about the environment of the gut. It is also important to note that bad bacteria do not like L+ lactic acid.

What is a Probiotic? The word Probiotic, according to the WHO (World Health Organization) means: “Probiotics are living microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” Pro means “For” Biotic means “Life” Probiotic means “Pro-Life” In other words, probiotics are “good bacteria”. Your native intestinal micro flora is your indigenous probiotics.

Infants are bathed in protective, beneficial microflora as they pass through their mother’s birth canal. As a result, babies delivered vaginally are bathed with friendly, protective Bifido bacteria. In contrast, babies delivered by caesarian section (C-section) become bathed in the bacteria from their environment. When this occurs, babies lose out on the benefits that B. infantis supplies. They miss the natural boost to their defenses, and don't receive the digestive support for their inexperienced gastrointestinal tract–not the best start to lifelong health.
