SUMMARY: During tonight’s Empower Hour! webinar Julie Anne Lee, who is the founder of the Adored Beast Apothecary, joined us to discuss IBD and gut health.

A few of the take-homes included the importance of prebiotics in addition to a rotation of probiotics. Prebiotics help feed the bacteria in the probiotics and are in many foods such as her turkey tail mushroom and chorella products. Julie, as well as the HA! vets, recommend moving to a different probiotic after finishing a jar of the one you are currently using.
