I love the addition of a probiotic for myself and my kids, and there are a lot of great brands! I’ve been really into Gryph & IvyRose Probiotic Chocolate Hearts as well as Dr O’Hira’s ; they help your gut feel amazing, improving digestion, as well as immune response. I find I rarely get sick, nor do my kids, and when they do, they recover quickly. There’s more to that of course and I’ll share lots more tips over time. I suggest taking the probiotic at night, otherwise, it could make your stomach gurgly. And one more tip, add natural probiotics into your life by using a little finely shredded kimchi or sauerkraut throughout the day. I add it to my avocado toast, on top of my sweet potato, or even with scrambled eggs. A little goes a long way and won’t be too overpowering taste-wise, yet positively influential on your gut health!
