Fitness influencer Brad Gouthro, known for his expertise in health and wellness, recently tackled whether probiotic supplements are worth the investment on his YouTube channel, Live Lean TV.

In response to a viewer’s inquiry about the value of probiotics, Gouthro emphasized the importance of considering one’s budget when deciding on supplement purchases. He suggested prioritizing spending on real, nutrient-rich whole food before allocating any remaining funds to supplement.

Brad Gouthro’s ultimate advice on gut health and probiotics supplement

In his recent video, while interacting with fans and followers, a curious viewer asked: “Are probiotics worth the money?” While Gouthro’s response was a clear-cut yes, it had its own twist. Straight off the bat, he urged his viewers to take up a practical approach, encouraging them to ask themselves a pivotal question: Does it align with your budget? In response to the question, Gouthro said, “If you want to put your money towards something, put it towards real whole foods.”

However, Gouthro highlighted the potential benefits of probiotics, particularly in promoting gut health. He explained that many individuals struggle with digestion due to the depletion of beneficial bacteria in their gut caused by years of poor dietary choices. This imbalance can lead to digestive issues such as bloating.

If you often experience digestive discomfort, Gouthro recommended exploring probiotic supplementation as a possible solution. He advised to give probiotics a “60 to 90 days” trial period to assess any resulting changes in energy levels and abdominal appearance. If improvements are observed, it indicates that probiotics are effectively supporting gut health and may be a worthwhile investment. However, a while back, another fitness coach and personal trainer revealed the dangers of what is considered to be healthy food to maintain fitness.

Burmaster warns of hidden dangers like heavy metals, fatty acids, pesticides, and gut-upsetting ingredients. His alternative?
