Thinking about starting a probiotic?

Before you buy one, I want you to know something...

The probiotic industry has convinced us that more bacteria automatically equals better gut health.

I wish it were that simple.
I’ve seen people take a probiotic and feel amazing.
I’ve also seen people become more bloated, more uncomfortable, and more frustrated.
Why?
Because your gut microbiome is as unique as your fingerprint.

If you have bacterial overgrowth, certain probiotics can make symptoms worse.
If you’re missing key beneficial bacteria, you may need very specific strains.
If digestion is impaired, even the “best” probiotic may not deliver the results you’re hoping for.

The question isn’t:
“What is the best probiotic?”
The real question is:
“What does YOUR unique gut actually need?”

That’s why I prefer testing over guessing.
Because your symptoms are clues.
And clues deserve investigation.
