The Natural State with Dr. Anthony Gustin

Dr. Ruscio and Dr. Gustin also chat about their thoughts on the current pandemic, how healthcare is going to change over the next five, 10, and 15 years from now, and so much more.

You’ll also hear Dr. Ruscio’s incredible insight into probiotics, including the three main types, the research behind each one, and what to do if you’re not responding well to probiotics right now.

He also shares the top sources of probiotic rich foods and how they compare to taking probiotics.

Since Dr. Ruscio has been on the show before, he’s also going to discuss what’s changed for him in his clinical practice since coming on.
