PROBIOTICS

If there is one thing you should be taking each night for gut health and general wellness, it is a probiotic supplement. Our modern day lifestyles have severely compromised our immunity through overuse of antibiotics, scheduled cesarian sections, over-sanitization, ingesting genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and more. As a result, we are annihilating our gut microbiota, which defend and protect our bodies against malevolent bacteria and pathogens, thus lowering our immunity.

The health of our internal ecosystem also dictates how efficiently we absorb nutrients and extract calories from food. As a result, the obesity epidemic is now being treated with probiotics and fecal implants from persons of a healthy weight. Studies are also proving that the different types of bacteria in our microbiome even dictate food cravings. For example, yeast craves sugar, which is why those suffering from candidiasis are directed to eliminate sugar from their diet in order to starve the yeast. The best defense as far as staving off unwanted cravings is maintaining a balanced microbiome where the beneficial flora is not overrun by malevolent species of bacteria. This can be achieved by receiving colonics to immediately eliminate a good percentage of the malevolent bacteria, replenishing with a reputable probiotic and eating a diet rich in fermented & fresh veggies, which consist of prebiotics (food for the probiotics).

I recommend my favorite doctor-recommended probiotics, Metagenics UltraFlora Complete, to all of my clients. Metagenics UltraFlora Complete  9-in-1 Probiotic supports digestive balance, immune resilience, and skin clarity with clinically studied strains like L. acidophilus and rhamnosus GG—plus L. paracasei. Designed for whole-body wellness, it helps reduce bloating and supports gut-driven vitality. There is also an Ultraflora Complete for Women that targets bloating and vaginal health. I suggest rotating probiotics after each bottle to introduce diversity to your microbiome. Gut bacteria diversity has been proven to be of utmost importance in warding off disease, weight gain and even cognitive decline (i.e. Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia). Metagenics UltraFlora Acute Care contains different probiotic strains that have been used to treat diarrhea (acute constipation), hives, yeast infections and urinary tract infections. Metagenics UltraFlora Control contains the powerful strain called Bifidobacterium lactis B-420, which has been shown to control body fat and body weight. Another favorite of mine is Metagenics UltraFlora Immune Booster, which contains strains specific for respiratory health. Metagenics UltraFlora Biome is a comprehensive probiotic that contains strains beneficial for gastrointestinal motility along with the strains beneficial for respiratory and general gastrointestinal health. Having an arsenal of different beneficial bacteria flourishing in the gut is critical in achieving optimal health.
