Overview

This video provides a comprehensive five-step guide to optimizing gut health through probiotics and fermented foods. The speaker, William Dickinson, outlines a progressive approach, starting with gentle, de-lactated probiotics and gradually introducing more diverse and potent options, including soil-based probiotics, fermented foods, and targeted prebiotic supplementation based on stool testing. The guide emphasizes a slow, individualized approach, listening to one's body to avoid negative reactions and maximize healing.

Key takeaways

• Step 1: Start with gentle probiotics: Begin with a de-lactated, histamine-safe probiotic like Custom Probiotics de-lactate 3E formula, starting at a very low dose (1/8 baby scoop) and gradually increasing every 3-4 days to minimize reactions.
• Step 2: Introduce diversity: Transition to a more diverse probiotic (e.g., an 11-strain formula) by gradually swapping out the de-lactated probiotic, as increased strain diversity significantly enhances potency.
• Step 3: Further diversify and target: Add more diverse probiotics like soil-based organisms (e.g., Youth and Earth, Megaspore) or multi-strain options (e.g., Seed, Garden of Life) to further increase microbiome diversity.
• Step 4: Incorporate fermented foods: Gradually introduce fermented foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, and especially kefir, starting with small amounts and monitoring for reactions. Kefir is presented as the most potent fermented food.
• Step 5: Targeted prebiotic supplementation: Utilize stool testing (e.g., from Biomesight) to identify specific microbiome deficiencies and tailor prebiotic supplementation (e.g., PHGG, lactulose, HMOs, colostrum) for personalized gut support.
