Probiotics and Prebiotics

The conversation around gut health has evolved, shifting focus from probiotics to the critical role of prebiotics in enhancing gut diversity. While probiotics can be beneficial in specific circumstances, such as during and after antibiotic use, the emphasis should be on a high-fiber diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains to support microbiome recovery and diversity. For those taking antibiotics, a probiotic may be helpful for a limited time, but dietary strategies are paramount for long-term gut health.
