All About Probiotics, Part 2

In Part One of the “All About Probiotics” series, I talked about the different types of probiotics and where to find them.

But how do you know which types to take? And what about when to take them? We’re learning more and more about probiotics daily, as well as how crucial they are to our good health. My feeling is that, if you want to ensure a healthy gut microbiome, you should be supplementing with probiotics daily. (Yep, even after your gut is healed–because let’s face it, our modern world just doesn’t feed our bodies like it used to).

In today’s video, I talk about why probiotics are important, some of the key strains and how they support good health, and when is the best time to take your beneficial bacteria. 

Watch below!
