In this video, I break down why I believe probiotics are overrated and in some cases, even risky. We've been sold the idea that popping a capsule is the key to better gut health, but the science isn’t as convincing as the supplement industry wants you to believe. I dive into the gut microbiome, probiotic side effects, and the real role of dietary fiber in building a resilient digestive system.

I also cover what most probiotic ads conveniently leave out: the strain specificity problem, inflated claims, and how natural recovery through food often outperforms expensive digestive supplements.

It’s not that all probiotics are useless but treating them like a miracle pill is about as misguided as thinking your favorite political party has all the answers. Let’s stop swallowing what we’re told and actually look at the data.
