Summary

I’ve recently published a comprehensive, 43-page guide to getting the most out of your probiotic supplements on my website. I’ve also developed this podcast series to highlight some of the key takeaways that you need to know about probiotic therapy. This episode is part 3 in a 3-part podcast series.

Imbalances of the gut microbiota are becoming increasingly common and can cause distressing digestive symptoms and an array of seemingly unrelated symptoms and conditions. These include mood, energy, skin, joint health, metabolism, sleep, immune function, hormone balance and thyroid health. Thankfully, probiotics can help to correct these imbalances and relieve symptoms. Hundreds of research studies provide evidence for these benefits.

When used correctly, probiotics are a powerful therapy with a surprisingly long list of health benefits. But for many health care consumers, the results of probiotic therapy can be suboptimal due to lack of information or poor probiotic quality. https://drruscio.com/?p=55752

0:37.4	Now let's head to the show.
0:41.0	Hi, everyone, in today's episode, we discuss part three of our three-part narration of the
0:48.9	comprehensive probiotic article that we recently released.
0:52.8	And we touched on the specifics for how to use the
0:56.5	three for balance probiotic protocol, which is essentially using three different probiotic
1:02.7	formulas together, namely our lactobifidil blend probiotic, our second Moises-Balardi
1:06.9	probiotic, and our soil-based probiotic. And how important that can be in leading to
1:13.6	balance the microbiota. And we lay out the evidence showing that probiotics are not condition
1:20.6	specific as another very important point. We speak to some of the criticisms that we need more
1:26.3	research for probiotics. And we actually have a pretty cool, in my opinion, infographic that really, I think dismantles the argument that we need better evidence.
1:34.3	We also discuss very, very importantly, quality assurance measures, and this may account for why some people do not see adequate results from probiotics.
1:46.6	Now, it's not to say that probiotic quality assurance is the end-all be-all.
1:53.0	Supplement companies definitely use that as a way to rip you off and sell you things that are more expensive than they should be.
2:02.7	But, and as you'll see, we support with a number of references in the article, roughly 50% of probiotics don't meet
2:09.5	their label claims. And this could be why the response patients report from probiotics with their own tinkering compared to what I see when
2:22.3	they come into the clinic or compared to what readers of Healthy Got Healthy You report is vastly
