Gut Health

Probiotics + Postbiotics

Your microbiome affects everything from immunity to mood to treatment response.

What it is

Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria; postbiotics are their metabolic byproducts (like short-chain fatty acids). Together they support a healthy gut ecosystem that influences systemic health far beyond digestion.

Why it matters

The gut microbiome is directly connected to immune function, inflammation, and increasingly β€” cancer treatment outcomes. Antibiotics, stress, poor diet, and chemotherapy all devastate microbiome diversity. Rebuilding it actively matters.

The evidence

Emerging research shows gut microbiome composition influences response to immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors). High-diversity microbiomes correlate with better treatment response and fewer side effects. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains are the most studied.

Dosing

Multi-strain probiotic with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, 10–50 billion CFU daily. Pair with prebiotic fiber (psyllium, inulin) to feed the bacteria.

Cautions

If severely immunocompromised, discuss live bacteria with your doctor β€” some teams recommend postbiotics or heat-killed probiotics instead.
