Probiotics Don't Work Alone

After sending out last week’s newsletter on Probio 7 and how quickly your microbiome responds to holiday stress, sugar, alcohol, and routine changes, many people reached out saying: “Okay… I’m taking the probiotic. What’s next?”

And the truth is: taking a probiotic is only Step One.

Step Two is feeding those beneficial bacteria so they can survive and exert their benefits.

Gas, Bloating, and Impaired Digestion During the Holidays

During the holidays, your microbiome becomes vulnerable thanks to heavier meals, more sugar, increased alcohol, travel, stress, and disrupted sleep. Because your microbiome shifts quickly, the support you give it, or fail to give it, matters even more this time of year.

Last week we focused on adding beneficial bacteria with Probio 7. This week we build on that foundation by feeding those bacteria so they can thrive.

Why Feeding Your Microbiome Is Just as Important as Taking a Probiotic

Probiotic bacteria won’t remain in your gastrointestinal tract long term unless they have the right fuel. Prebiotic fiber is what your bacteria can ferment and use for energy.

You can get fiber from whole foods like vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Ideally, you’d get a wide variety of fibers every single day. But during the holidays, most people fall short, which leads to:

• reduced microbial diversity
  

• weaker probiotic colonization
  

• impaired digestion
  

• bloating and discomfort
  

• reduced immune resilience

Synergystic Blend of Prebiotic Fibers

PreBioFib is a concentrated, synergistic blend of prebiotic fibers designed to nourish healthy intestinal flora, support smoother intestinal transit, and promote a balanced immune system. Its unique formula pairs perfectly with Probio 7 and helps ensure that the beneficial bacteria you’re taking can actually do their job.

For best results, mix one scoop into 200–300 ml of water and take it alongside your daily dose of Probio 7.

BONUS: The Detoxification Benefit Most People Don’t Know About

Fiber physically binds the toxins metabolized by your liver, with your feces, so that the toxins can be excreted from your body. Without enough fiber, these compounds can be reabsorbed through a process called enterohepatic recirculation, which recycles bile acids (and unintentionally recycle toxins too).
