Probiotics are limited in what they can do.

With the increasing popularity of probiotic supplements, it's important to understand that a probiotic supplement will not "reseed" or "reinoculate" your gut microbiota.

And while certain probiotic strains help your gut ecosystem recover more quickly after a course of antibiotics (and still others may even slow the ecosystem restoration), they cannot undo all the ecosystem damage done by antibiotics.

It's important to understand that the young infant microbiome requires special considerations.

A healthy microbiome - accurately assessed and supported! - is crucial at every age.

Special early bird pricing is only available until April 7th.

We love seeing you add more fiber to your diet!

Here's an example of what you could add to each meal to reach 45 grams of fiber.

Note that chia seeds are best when freshly ground versus eaten whole.

We get the omega-3 fats only when ground. Plus, more of the insoluble fiber and polyphenols, too, compared to whole seeds. [PMID: 32150813, PMID: 22830971]

Here's an example of what you could add to each meal to reach 45 grams of fiber.

Truth be told, reaching 45 grams is easier than it sounds!

Beans and legumes are incredibly helpful for boosting fiber intake. As you can see here, 1 cup provides about 16 grams of fiber!

At the Hawrelak Gut and Microbiome Clinic, we have helped thousands of patients resolve dysbiosis. Our treatment protocol for dysbiosis (imbalanced gut microbes) is always individualized to the patient.

But we get a lot of questions here about how to fix dysbiosis, so I want to share some foundational principles for addressing it.

Please keep in mind that this is not an individualized protocol...the probiotic strain and prebiotic fibers that help one person might make another person's symptoms worse.

***Are you a health practitioner looking to deepen your understanding of how to support dysbiosis?

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is one of the most well-researched probiotic strains out there. It's remarkable in that it can survive the trip through the upper GI tract and attach to the gut wall.

LGG produces antimicrobial compounds that selectively target pathogens and is a valuable tool for managing a range of inflammatory and infectious bowel conditions. And, it is one of two probiotics that reliably help heal leaky gut.

Leaky colon is less well-known than leaky gut (small intestinal hyperpermeability), but equally important.

With a leaky colon, the colonocytes break down, allowing inflammatory compounds to leak into the bloodstream. This can include environmental toxicants that your gut is trying to eliminate, bacterial toxins, and even hormones.

Once they enter the bloodstream, your detoxification system must work again to remove them from your body.

A major factor in leaky colon is not producing enough butyrate by the bacteria in the colon. Butyrate is the primary food for your colonocytes, and without sufficient amounts, they starve and no longer function the way they should.

Prebiotic and fiber-rich foods, as well as resistant starches, help your butyrate-producing microbes make butyrate!

If you're a clinician and want to learn more about lesser-known but clinically crucial issues like leaky colon and how to treat them, be sure to enrol in our spring cohort of the Naturopathic & Functional Medicine Approaches to Gastrointestinal Disorders Course. https://probiotic-advisor.teachable.com/p/naturopathic-functional-medicine-approaches-to-gastrointestinal-disorders-2026-term

Early bird enrolment ends soon!
