If you’re dealing with persistent bloating and gas, you know how uncomfortable—and sometimes embarrassing—these symptoms can be! Probiotics - when taken in appropriate amounts help improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and support the gut barrier, which, in turn, can lead to relief from gas and bloating. The key is choosing the right strains—different probiotics have distinct roles, and not all are beneficial for everyone, especially those with complex conditions like SIBO.
A message from Dr. Hawrelak...
Join me and Dr. Allison Siebecker as we host Dr. Jason Hawrelak for 2 NEW masterclasses on the gut microbiome, probiotics and SIBO.
Gut health has taken center stage in recent years as more research reveals the significant influence our microbiome has on almost every aspect of our well-being.
But what does it actually mean to have a healthy gut microbiome?
With complex ecosystems composed of trillions of microorganisms, identifying a “healthy” microbiome might feel like a puzzle. Key markers that characterize a balanced, resilient, and beneficial gut environment have been identified.
Dr. Jason Hawrelak, a microbiome researcher and expert, joins Dr. Allison Siebecker and Shivan Sarna to dive deep into 2 masterclasses!
We will dive into what a healthy microbiome looks like and how you can achieve it. Finally, we’ll spotlight foods and lifestyle strategies to support beneficial bacteria growth. You’ll learn how small, actionable changes to your diet can nurture your gut's good bacteria, improving your resilience and overall health.
For sensitive conditions like SIBO and IMO, starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it can prevent potential “die-off” reactions, where rapid microbial changes cause bloating or discomfort.
Timing is equally important; for example, introducing probiotics after an initial treatment phase may be ideal for those with SIBO, while others may benefit from starting probiotics sooner.
