Hoeveel zegt poep over je gezondheid?

Onze darmen worden vaak het tweede brein genoemd, maar klopt dat eigenlijk? Deze week duiken Tom en Alexander diep in de wereld van het microbioom. Tom testte een week lang probiotica: voel je je dan echt lichter, energieker, minder… gasachtig? Alexander legt uit waarom rauwe zuivel zo’n hype is én hoe een poeptransplantatie iemands leven kan redden. 💩🥛

In deze aflevering:
💊 Neem probiotica en geen antibiotica
🧠 Je darmen zijn je tweede brein
⚖️ Je microbioom bepaalt hoe dik en hoe ziek je wordt
🚑 Poeptransplantaties redden levens

Tom stelt de vragen, Alexander fileert de feiten. Zodat jij voortaan weet: wat helpt je darmen écht, wat is dure onzin, en wanneer je beter niet blind een potje ‘probiotica power’ hoeft te kopen.
