without first speaking with your doctor. Now, let's head to the show. Hi, everyone. Welcome back.

0:46.1

Excited to share with you today a number of recent studies and high quality studies that inform how we can

0:52.0

use probiotics to successfully treat depression, cognition, even help with

0:58.0

brain development of children, reduce inflammation, and improve autoimmunity. So let's jump in.

1:09.0

Two pieces of context as we get started. We discussed this on the show in the past, but I think

1:14.9

it's worth occasionally revisiting, which is the pyramid of medical or scientific evidence quality, meaning how do we ascertain what study is a good study?

1:33.9

What study may not be that great?

1:37.0

And this is from Cochran, which is one of the most highly recognized and credible medical information databases, if you will.

1:47.1

The bottom of the pyramid, the lowest quality evidence is expert opinion.

1:53.3

And toward the bottom of the pyramid, we also see things like Petri dish studies and

1:58.8

animal studies.

2:00.7

And toward the top of the pyramid, we see randomized criteria. like Petri dish studies and animal studies.

2:05.8

And toward the top of the pyramid, we see randomized control trials.

2:08.9

This is part of what we'll be sharing today. And at the pinnacle of the pyramid, the very highest quality of evidence, are summaries of

And today we'll be covering solely randomized control trials or meta-analyses and systematic reviews regarding probiotics
