Antibiotics: When They Save You… and When They Wreck You July 9
Antibiotics save lives—but can wreck gut health, immunity, and cause long-term issues. Discover when antibiotics are truly needed and how to protect your microbiome from harmful side effects.

Look—I’m not here to villainize antibiotics.
They’ve saved lives. They’ve stopped raging infections.
But here’s what they also do: annihilate your gut microbiome like a nuclear bomb.
And if you’ve ever taken even one round without a recovery plan… your gut might still be feeling the aftershock.
Antibiotics Aren’t Targeted Missiles
They’re more like carpet bombers.
They kill:
- The bad guys (buh-bye strep throat)
- The good guys (hello, candida takeover)
- Your microbial diversity (see ya, balance)
- And sometimes… your digestion, mood, and immune system
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes and antibiotics can wipe out up to 90% of them in just one round.
