0:39.6 | 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 |
2:16.2 | multiple clinical trials. So you get an aggregation of what the body of |
2:20.3 | science is demonstrating. And these are called meta-analyses and or systematic reviews. |
2:26.9 | And today we'll be covering solely randomized control trials or meta-analyses and systematic reviews regarding probiotics |
