My naturopath's recommendation genuinely changed my life
Like many people, I thought probiotics were meant to be good for gut health. Don’t get me wrong, they can be, but they can also make issues worse.
I struggled with gut issues for a long time. I would get severe bloating and had a growing list of food intolerances. I had issues with my bowel movements, and it got so bad even my hair was thinning.
I saw countless doctors and healthcare professionals who told me many different things. Most were dismissive of my issues and told me a lot of it was anxiety-related and to change my diet. General “IBS” was the diagnosis with no long-term solution offered.
I finally found a holistic doctor who was able to point me in the right direction, and it turned out that my issues were primarily a result of a bacterial imbalance.
This is where my mistake with probiotics comes in.
Probiotics introduce bacteria into the gut. Introducing further bacteria into my gut, as I had in the past, only added to the Dysbiosis (of whack, unhappy balance of bacteria) I already had.
My doctor explained how the overhyped marketing around probiotics can actually be a problem because they can be damaging to some people with existing gut issues.
My doctor advocated for natural supplements...
Thankfully, I took the probiotics before I met my life-saving functional medicine doctor and naturopath. Because of the growing rate of antibiotic resistance and the unwanted effects they can have on the gut, my doctor advocated for natural supplements and provided me with some recommendations.
It was after doing some research for myself that I found FixBIOME through my Naturopath. FixBIOME uses clinically studied natural ingredients. Their holistic gut system was developed by doctors and naturopaths.
Their products don’t introduce any new bacteria that might not be suitable for your unique gut. Instead, they use natural ingredients proven to influence the gut microbiome and existing “good bacteria” to assist in rebalancing the gut microbiome.
The system also contains restorative ingredients that help your gut recover from the years of damage it has endured, which, if not addressed, can lead to relapse in symptoms.
They have completely turned my life around. I now have minimal bloating, no issues with my skin, my hair is as healthy as ever, and I have food freedom again! I can digest things, and my gut functions as it should.
During the initial stage, I definitely experienced a temporary worsening of symptoms, but this quickly levelled out, and it can happen when you take an active and effective product like this. I’d highly encourage anyone who has also observed gut issues similar to mine to have a look into their products and see if they relate to any of the customer reviews. It won’t be the right solution for everyone, but for me, it’s genuinely changed my life.
