I am so excited to chat with you about this today because the gut is one of the most important areas when it comes to our overall health & wellness & probiotics are an amazing way to maintain the integrity of our gut!
PREVIOUS EPISODE ALL ABOUT GUT HEALTH!
- Probiotics are substances that stimulate the growth of microorganisms, especially those with beneficial properties.
- They help digest food, produce vitamins and help your body destroy disease-causing microorganisms and hinder their growth.
- Probiotics are considered as “helpful” bacteria because they help balance your microbiome and the balance between your body’s “good” and “bad” bacteria.
- Billions of bacteria work hard to break down our food, detoxify our system, and regulate our hormones
- Especially helpful after taking antibiotics, which can wipe out much of the good bacteria and lead to digestive issues.
- Probiotics also help mental health- gut and brain connection
- They also with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diarrhea. Improve some skin conditions, help prevent UTI’s, boost immunity & maintain a healthy weight.
HOW TO CHOOSE ONE
- non dairy
- more resilient bacterial strains do NOT require refrigeration to keep their quality.
- SBO based (SBOs also trigger antibodies within the gut to defend us from illness. Because the spore is reproductive, these bacteria multiply rapidly, acting quickly to heal a sick digestive tract.)
- Formulations are all-natural, non-GMO, and made WITHOUT soy, dairy, sugar, salt, corn, tree nuts, or gluten
