The secret to long-term gut health - gut health, prebiotics, probiotics
December 19, 2023Oh, the things I would do differently if I knew 10 years ago what I know now.
People muck up gut health efforts. They do a little cleanup, with some build-up, with a variety of products that make no sense together all at the same time.
Most of us never address motility upfront. (How do you clean up a gut that is clogged up?) We do a partial cleanup. And then to build up the gut we assume the end-all-be-all is a probiotic. Probiotics have been ultra-hyped up for so long that we assume that's the answer to all gut issues. I was guilty of this when I first started my gut health journey.🙋🏼
One probiotic isn't going to build up everything you need after years of neglect and antibiotics. Unfortunately, it's not that simple, but it's also not very complicated.
✅The key to long-term gut health is a diverse microbiome (a wide variety of key beneficial bacteria, not just lactobacillus and bifidobacterium) with many good microbes and few bad microbes.
✅A strong gut is constantly building up the gut barrier.
✅A strong gut has a lot of short-chain fatty acids.
✅A strong microbiome makes for an environment that is inhospitable to pathogens.
✅AND a healthy gut helps with your health markers.
A healthy gut is comprised of a few amazing strains of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium.
Just like with motility and cleanup, when it comes to a gut build-up, we do not mess around. We go aggressive with the end goal of having a gut that remains healthy.
With the research on the combination of Ultimate Probiotic (gut management strains, not traditional lactobacillus and bifidobacterium strains) and Targeted Prebiotic, we hit the mark for a 4 week reshaping of the microbiome. When we add in the Sensitive Gut Fiber, we then add in the other keystone strains that you just don't get from probiotics. The combination is a wicked helpful way to be "gut strong" long-term.
