Chances are you're looking to elevate your gut microbiome.* In this episode, Rountree talks about everything from fermented foods to the confusing world of probiotics, discussing why many supplements use a “sledgehammer approach” but it was important that we used a “workhorse approach” to our strain selection. Tune in to this episode to hear firsthand how we created our solution for beating boat, aiding digestion, and supporting regularity.* Head to mindbodygreen.com/probiotic for more info.
