18 - Why Probiotics are One of the Best Ways to Boost Your Immune System and Save Money

Hey, mamas! 

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic on everyone’s mind—how to boost your immune system!

I know firsthand how confusing it can be to determine if you’re doing everything possible for your health. That’s why, in this episode, I’m talking all about probiotics—what they are, why they work, and when you should take them.

Spoiler alert: They’re a simple, cost-effective way to support your body!

Here’s what we’re covering today:

• Why is your gut the secret weapon for your immune system? (Hint: 80% of it lives there!)
• What probiotics are and how they keep harmful bacteria in check.
• Tips for choosing the right probiotic brand—what to look for on the label and what to avoid.
• The best time to take probiotics (and why consistency is key).
• How to feed your "good bacteria" with the right foods for a healthy gut.

 Enjoy!
