Probiotics for Your Health

May 26, 2021

alt tagthe lore com rRBtKW aw U unsplashIn recent years, new information has been released to show the benefits of taking supplements like probiotics. The human body is an organism that relies on hundreds of other types of single celled organisms to survive and function on a healthy level. These small organisms can carry complex pieces of information to specific parts of the body, but some of them are harmful to people if they begin to replicate themselves too quickly. To combat this without introducing drugs, a natural course to you can try is to take some form of probiotics. This article will be focusing on a few benefits of probiotics.

Helps Skin Conditions
You might not know this, but digestive health plays a massive role in skin health. This is because the stomach contains many bacteria, and many of these bacterial agents are good for the body while some of them are harmful. This is a normal state for the body, but when the bad bacteria build to high levels, the weakened body may begin to experience ill effects. This often manifest in the form of acne, which is really just bacteria running wild in your pores.

Immune Functions
The good bacteria in your digestive tract serves multiple purposes. One of the main purposes is to protect your body from foreign organisms that can make you sick, like the millions of germs that you come in contact with in public each day. When you don’t have enough of the good bacteria., your body can become ill easily, and you could become subject to food poisoning in cases where you ordinarily would be fine.

Combat Bacterial Inflammation
In many of the chronic illnesses like crohn’s disease and IBS, the inflammation of the bowels are caused by an abundance of harmful bacteria that are continuously multiplying and attacking the tissues of your intestines. Many of these negative effects can be combatted by ingesting high amounts of probiotics. The bacteria in probiotic foods do this by breaking down the cellular walls of harmful bacteria to kill them.

Protects Against Bacteria in Food
Food isn’t only cooked because it tastes good that way, it’s also cooked because it helps to kill off harmful bacteria so that it’s easier for the bacteria in your stomach to fight off what is left over. Bacteria is everywhere, and as long as you are sure to keep the bacteria that you need in the gut healthy, you are more likely to be healthy as well.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
