From decoding the different probiotic strains to taking a 360-degree approach to gut health, experts weigh in on how to deliver beneficial bacteria the right way.
“All diseases begin in the gut,” Hippocrates, the founding father of modern medicine, once said. And thousands of years later, with gastrointestinal issues mounting and contributing to a host of other taxing conditions, the world is finally listening.
Over the past decade, the use of probiotics has surged in combatting imbalance within the gut microbiome, which contains 100 trillion bacteria and effects everything from weight gain to mental well-being. “Probiotics are good bacteria that promote a healthy digestive system,” explains functional-medicine expert Frank Lipman, M.D.
But it’s important to understand that while probiotics have always had plenty to offer the gut, their use has become that much more critical due to drastic diet and lifestyle changes over the past 100 years, particularly in the West. “Many aspects of the modern lifestyle, from the discovery of antibiotics to the use of pesticides and GMOs in our food to the high stress environments we live in, effect the microbiome and have really put new stress on our gut barrier,” explains Vincent Pedre, M.D.
Suffice it to say: Every woman could consider adding a probiotic into the mix. But just as important as incorporating it is knowing how to navigate the endless options on the market—from supplements to kefirs and jar ferments—as well as how the rest of your lifestyle plays into honing the benefits of a probiotic.
