Probiotics Aren’t Magic

I hateeeee to break it to you and every “gut health coach” out there… probiotics aren’t a magic fix, they’re a tool.

If your gut’s inflamed, leaky, or overrun with SIBO, candida, or H. pylori, a probiotic won’t do much.

Before anything else, you’ve got to fix the terrain:
👉 Eat fiber for gut health: real plants, not powders.
👉 Support digestion with enzymes.
👉 Run stool testing to see what’s actually off.
👉 Manage stress: your gut listens more to your nervous system than your supplement stack.

Once that foundation’s solid, probiotics can actually help rebalance your microbiome and calm gut inflammation.

Not All Probiotics Are Created Equal

Different strains do different jobs:

• Bifidobacterium infantis → bloating + IBS support

• Saccharomyces boulardii → candida + inflammation

• Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG → immune + microbiome balance
  
  

But if you’ve got SIBO, the wrong probiotic can make things worse.

Bottom line: don’t guess

Stop Wasting Your Money

• Skip the generic blends with 20 random strains and no testing.

• Skip the “gut health gummies.”

• Skip taking probiotics when your digestion’s a mess.

Fix your gut first!! The probiotics should be a part of a comprehensive protocol.

If you’re done guessing and ready to actually fix what’s going on, book a free consult and let’s figure out your gut from the inside out.
