Probiotics have become a go-to for gut health—but what if taking a probiotic isn’t always solving the problem? In this episode, Sara shares the experience that first opened her eyes to the incredible world of the microbiome and explains why simply adding more “good bacteria” may not be the answer. We’ll talk about your gut as a garden, the importance of microbial diversity, and how your microbiome can influence digestion, energy, mood, sleep, brain function, hormones, and even your ability to manage your weight. You’ll also learn what can disrupt your microbiome—including antibiotics, birth control, PPIs, pesticides, processed foods, and certain food ingredients—and why Sara recommends a step-by-step approach rather than immediately reaching for a probiotic. We’ll cover ways to support your gut, the benefits of fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, what to look for when choosing a probiotic, and why gut health and blood sugar are so closely connected. Plus, Sara shares more about the Fall Into a Healthy Routine 12-week program, beginning September 14, designed to help women reset their metabolism, establish healthy daily habits, and feel energetic and confident again.
