Here are five tips to reshape your microbiome for the better:
1. Control the bad guys: Kill off the bad gut bacteria with natural anti-microbials like grapefruit seed extract, colloidal silver, and oregano oil.
2. Take probiotics: Take a probiotic that works for you. You may need to experiment with this since your microbiome is unique.
3. Feed the good bacteria with prebiotics: Prebiotics fuel your gut bacteria. You can buy a prebiotic supplement, or you can eat prebiotic fiber-rich foods such as asparagus and artichokes.
4. Look into a post-biotic: Post-biotics such as butyrate, which is found in butter (or can be purchased as a supplement); help support a healthy gut environment for the good bacteria to thrive.
5. Manage your stress: The mind-gut connection is real. All types of stress, including both physical and emotional, can make your gut environment less hospitable for your good gut bacteria.
