In this brief segment, the speaker explains that probiotic supplements can help restore a disrupted natural microbiome. Disruption may result from antibiotic use, other microbiome‑hard drugs, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. The recommendation is to consider probiotics to aid recovery of the microbiome after such treatments.

Probiotic supplements are going to be something for you to consider if you've had any destruction of your natural microbiome. That could be by antibiotics. So we commonly give people probiotics to recover from antibiotic use. Could be other types of drugs that may be hard on your microbiome organisms. People who've been through chemotherapy and radiation, we'll often have to redo microbiome after that.
