5 Important Reasons Why Most Probiotics Don’t Work

If you’ve been popping probiotic pills and still feeling bloated, foggy, or off—this episode is your “aha” moment. We’re unpacking the probiotic myths that keep women confused and constipated (literally). From CFUs and strains to fermented foods and soil-based organisms, I’ll help you figure out what your gut actually needs. 🦠

🔍 Science Note: Most probiotic strains don’t colonize the gut long term—they pass through and help while they’re there.

We’ll also dive into:

• Common probiotic mistakes

• The role of prebiotics

• How to rotate strains and rewild your microbiome

• Why your body isn’t broken—just overwhelmed

💬 “Your gut is a garden. Don’t just throw in seeds—tend it.”

👉 Listen in, then share it with a friend who’s overwhelmed in the supplement aisle!
