Struggling with intense sugar cravings? Your gut health might be playing a bigger role than you think.

Many people with strong cravings are actually dealing with candida overgrowth. Candida is a type of yeast that lives in your digestive tract. When it becomes overgrown, often from a high intake of sugar and refined carbs, it can increase your desire for even more sugar.

This creates a frustrating cycle that feels hard to break. The candida feeds on sugar and in return makes you crave it.

The good news is that certain foods like garlic, cloves, and coconut oil can help bring balance back to your gut.

Here are the non-negotiables:

1. Survivability
The probiotic must survive stomach acid and bile to reach the intestines. Spore-forming probiotics like Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis are naturally resistant to harsh environments, making them ideal.
Clinical Insight: Our go-to strain for inflammation and IBS symptoms is Bacillus coagulans (Probiotic 2). It survives digestion, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing of the gut lining.

2. Specific Strains with Clinical Evidence
Not all strains are the same. For example:
• Bifidobacterium bifidum supports immune modulation and digestive comfort
• Bifidobacterium breve helps protect the colon and reduce leaky gut
• Akkermansia muciniphila (a strain we highly value) supports metabolic health, glucose control, and weight loss
Clinical Insight: Akkermansia is hard to find in retail probiotics but is one of the most promising bacteria for improving metabolic flexibility, reducing inflammation, and restoring gut barrier function. These are all crucial for weight loss and long-term health.

3. Therapeutic Dosing
A quality probiotic should contain the right number of colony-forming units (CFUs). Too low makes it ineffective, too high can overwhelm the system. We typically aim for 5 to 20 billion CFUs depending on the patient’s needs and symptoms.

4. Combination with Gut-Healing Support
Probiotics often work better when paired with other supportive ingredients, such as:
• Immunoglobulins (like Transform GI) to bind and remove harmful microbes
• Prebiotics to feed beneficial bacteria
• Botanicals (like oil of oregano) in cases of bacterial overgrowth such as SIBO
Clinical Insight: In tougher cases of dysbiosis or IBS, we combine Probiotic 2 with Transform GI for better results. For resistant cases, we may add oil of oregano as a natural antibacterial.

Think gut health isn't connected to brain health? Think again.
Think psychobiotics

A patient came to us after years of struggling with anxiety and panic attacks, managed only by daily Lexapro. She also had chronic constipation, bloating, and digestive issues—symptoms she had dealt with for as long as she could remember.

We identified signs of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and started a targeted protocol using just 3 key supplements.

What happened next was incredible…

✅ Constipation resolved
✅ Bloating gone
✅ And most importantly—for the first time in years, no anxiety or panic attacks

She has now successfully weaned off Lexapro and feels clear, calm, and in control of her health again.

The gut-brain connection is real—and healing the root causes in the gut can lead to profound changes in the mind.

We talk about gut health all the time, but do you really know what it means?

Your gut does more than just digest food. It affects your immune system, energy levels, metabolism, and even your mood. When your gut is balanced and functioning well, you feel it: less bloating, better digestion, and steady energy. But when it’s off? Fatigue, inflammation, and stubborn weight gain can creep in.

Gut health matters. Let’s start paying attention to it.
