I’m going to tell you… Why you should join me and eat billions of bacteria every single day.

WTH I’m not going to eat bacteria. 

Have you lost your mind?

 This “Man of Health” guy has lost his mind…I know that’s what your thinking.

 But I promise you millions are doing it and benefiting from it.

Probiotics are live bacteria that people take daily to supplement their “Gut Health”. People normally have trillions of bacteria in their gut that are there to actually help you. These “normal” bacteria help in the process of digestion, inflammation, and immune health.

When people take probiotics they are introducing bacteria into the system to help fight other bacteria that actually cause harm to your body. 

Probiotics can help prevent and treat:

• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Allergies in children
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Ulcerative Colitis
• Crohn’s disease
• H. Pylori (ulcers)
• Urinary tract infections
• C-diff
• Eczema

My story.

I began taking a probiotic while in nursing school because I suffered from irritable bowel syndrome. My IBS would be triggered by stress which usually came right before a big exam. 

My IBS was diarrhea dominated. IBS can be diarrhea dominate or constipation dominate.

I starting taking a probiotic after recommendation from my doctor. It took a week or two before I started seeing any difference. 

I know it had to be the probiotic because the stressor did not change (Nursing tests). I noticed that my cramping and bowel movements were better controlled.

I cannot speak on every study that has been produced but I know that probiotics have helped me.

My goal is to continue to research the best probiotics for Man of Health members and eventually produce a Man of Health probiotic that will help men out there.

There is still ongoing research on probiotics. There are no studies to determine which strain is useful to what disease. Currently this information is not available.

Anyone thinking about trying probiotics should discuss it with their provider first. 

Always discuss with your provider if starting a probiotic supplement would be beneficial for you.
