I’m excited to have Steve Wright back on the podcast today. He’s the founder of healthygut.com and has a lot of expertise specific to gut and health issues. I wanted to bring him back to talk about the promising research on tributyrin, which is a new molecule that I’ve been using that helped in my Hashimoto’s remission. It’s also been helpful for a couple of my kids with allergies and eczema. Tributyrin is considered a breakthrough molecule for microbiome, histamine, and leaky gut and we explain why in this episode. We talk about what butyrate is, how it’s produced and the new information we know about leaky gut and how this comes into play. We also touch on restrictive diets and how they can reduce butyrate production over time and how to fix it. For anyone dealing with increased histamine response or mast cells, we talk about why tributyrin is different from other supplemental forms of butyrate and the very specific gut effects it can have. Steve also talks about how to dose supplements and to find the 80/20 that works best for you. Let’s chat with Steve!

At least six times a day I get the question, “Mom, can I have an Olipop?” Usually once from each of my kids. And I’m happy to say yes.

But unlike other sodas that are full of sugar, corn syrup, and artificial ingredients like aspartame, Olipop is made with natural ingredients that are actually good for you. They use functional ingredients that combine the benefits of prebiotics, plant fiber, and botanicals
