Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC
About this episode

In this episode, you’ll learn the best way to take probiotics. Probiotics are a staple for many in their gut-healing journey—and for good reason. They have been shown to help improve digestive and non-digestive symptoms, ranging from diarrhea to brain fog. 

While the benefits of probiotics are known, there remains uncertainty about how long to take them for, if they should be taken with or without food, and how often to take them. 

Tune in to the episode to get clarity on how to take probiotics to improve your health.
