Segment Two (12:58):?Dr. Cole and Steve discuss the return of Zach LaVine and the rehab process after ACL reconstruction.?Fred Hoiberg confirmed that the Bulls will be bringing Zach LaVine (knee) along slowly once he?s cleared for contact. Zach LaVine #8 of the Chicago Bulls poses for a portrait during the 2017-18 NBA Media Day on September 25, 2017 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

?We?ll still take things slow,?? Hoiberg said. ?We won?t throw him out for an hour scrimmage the first day he gets cleared for contact. It will be a gradual process. But he?s doing great, doing everything he?s supposed to do.??

LaVine is on track to be cleared for contact within the next few weeks, but the Bulls will be taking an extremely cautious approach with his return, so it could be a while until he?s fully up to speed working without restrictions.

Segment Three (19:41):?Karen Malkin from?Karen Malkin Health Counseling?decribes probiotics, why and when they should be used.

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called ?good? or ?helpful? bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy.

Good bacteria are naturally found in your body. You can find probiotics in some foods and supplements.

It?s only been since about the mid-1990s that people have wanted to know more about probiotics and their health benefits. Doctors often suggest them to help with digestive problems. And because of their newfound fame, you can find them in everything from yogurt to chocolate.
