In this video, you'll uncover the benefits and also what your doctor may not be telling
you about probiotics.
In the world we live in today many people are suffering from issues that are related
to probiotics and the lack of, and the thing is, is that when you go to the doctor and
they never talk about this stuff. This is a very simple basic element to true health
but yet most doctors aren't telling any of their patients about them. So that's why in
this video we're going to talk about the benefits of probiotics and what your doctors may not
tell you when it comes to this topic. This is a topic that I truly love. I work with
a lot of people with gastrointestinal issues and this topic is so important for not only
them but the entire population of people who are watching this so stick around to the end
of this video.
But before we get started, I'm Dr. Zyrowski and welcome to the channel. If you're new

So what are probiotics? First of all, probiotics are a living microorganism. You've probably
seen them at the grocery store and thought to yourself I wonder what those are. I wonder
if those are actually dangerous to take? I wonder if they're good for you? I mean I've
actually been asked that. Are these probiotics going to give me diarrhea? Are they dangerous
like are they going to harm me in any way? It's truly incredible that people are so satisfied
with taking an antibiotic, but they are scared of a probiotic. Like that thought process
is so backwards it's truly unbelievable so that's why if you're someone who is thinking
that way it's a good thing you're watching this video. So, they're living microorganisms
and they outnumber your cells ten to one. We have a ton of these different good bugs
all over our body. They're not only mostly in our colon, but they're on our skin, they're
in our mucous membranes and they're responsible for our overall health. Now this is referred
to as the microbiome. When we look at this whole bacterial environment that's in and
outside the entire body, it's referred to as the microbiome so just a quick point to
understand when you're looking into this topic. And there's hundreds of different types some
believe even thousands of different types of these different bacteria. So, you know
we talk about sometimes very specific strains but it's important to understand that there's
lots of them and all of them are very important for your health.
Now when I say they play in your entire health essentially what I mean is that they're incredibly
important for your gut health which we'll talk about more in just a minute. They're
important for your brain health, your neurological health, whether or not you're fat or not.
I mean there's so many different things that this plays a massive role in your endocrine
system, your immune system. We're going to get to all of that in just one moment. And
then many people are deficient. The truth is is that we eat clean food today. The truth
is is that is a very good thing because a lot of people back in the day when they didn't
have refrigeration and they didn't have clean food, there were some serious issues with
bacteria and viruses and all these different issues that people were having. Now today
we good clean food and that's great, but one of the problems with it because we're not
going out to our garden and we're not all doing our own little farms so that we can
eat fresh foods, what happens is we don't get all those good probiotics. Unfortunately,
many of them are washed off the food, many of the food is cleaned highly highly with
many cases some harsh chemicals and it kills off all the different good probiotics that
we would normally get. So that's why we have to make an effort today in order to actually
make sure our system is giving them. What I'll do is I'll put a link to the probiotic
that I use clinically in the description below. It's got the dosing right, it's very good,
it's stable, and it works. So, check that out in the description below.
Now let's talk about the probiotics and how important they all are for your health. When
you have a lack of probiotics, a lack of good bacteria within your system, it's linked to
all kinds of issues. First one is obesity. What they found is that people who were obese
and people who are not had like a whole bunch of different bacteria in their body. So, it's
like many different strains in the obese person versus the person who was fit and healthy.
So that's very important to understand. They even did some studies with it is they did
a fecal transplant is basically, I don't have a better way of saying it, but they basically
take the poop from one animal and put it inside the other animal’s colon. And when they
do that fecal transplant, essentially what they saw happen is that just by introducing
the good, healthy strains of bacteria to the unhealthy animal, the animal lost a ton of
weight, which is truly incredible. So that means bacteria alone, going in and getting
those good, proper strains of probiotics within your gut, will help you lose weight. They
also even did a study. What they found is that when people were using a probiotic, they
were able to lose about 8.5% of their belly fat over a 12-week period. We talk about weight
loss all the time, all the things to do with weight loss. I mean going to the gym, eating
right, all of that. Well, a good healthy gut is a really important aspect of that whole
situation. And so, type II diabetes is the same thing. A lot of these people who have
a lack of good, healthy probiotics get type II diabetes. And that's why you hear me all
the time say, I've never met a diabetic that had a healthy gut. When I work with people
who have type II diabetes, they always have a very, very unhealthy gut. So it's not only
working with the type II diabetes and the insulin resistance issue, but it's also a
gut issue you have to work on as well. And so that's why some of these issues become
very complicated.
Metabolic syndrome - When we start thinking about like high blood pressure and cholesterol
issues and triglyceride issues, all of that. So metabolic syndrome.
Heart disease - Once again, they're finding that a lack of healthy probiotics can lead
to heart disease. This is why that like a lot of the emerging research and some of the
different big time health companies out there that are spending billions of dollars on health
research, they're going in and looking at how the microbiome, how the bacteria in your
gut can basically lead to pretty much any disease and how you could potentially stop
these diseases by just fixing the gut bacteria. Now, health is probably a little bit more
complicated than that and it's going to pour into lifestyle and everything else. But it's
a very interesting topic nonetheless. And it has a lot of importance when we look at
the future of healthcare.
Colorectal cancer, big problem. Colorectal cancer is determined, is estimated to be the
number one reason that millennials die in the future when it comes to cancer. It's estimated
they're going to have colorectal cancer. So probiotics can help protect you from that.
Alzheimer’s is associated with a lack of good probiotics in also depression because
it acts on the brain. Any of these different things are acting on the brain. If you have
poor brain health, it can lead to psychological issues, it can lead to neurodegenerative issues,
it can lead to anxiety, depression, all of that. So we have to really understand how
important it is to make sure that we have a healthy microbiome, a lot of good probiotics
in our system to avoid these issues. It's not the only thing that's going to avoid these
issues, but is obviously a player in it and some major player because a lot of people
have gut issues and you're hearing it from somebody who works with an enormous amount
of patients with gut issues. And when I see a lot of these people who just go to the traditional
medical model and try to handle a lot of these gut issues, it's not pretty. It just leads
to a road to nowhere – a road to surgery and medication, but they never go in and try
to actually fix the root cause of the problem. Probiotics for a lot of people can be a root
cause. So, we have to take that into consideration too.
Other health benefits that probiotics have to offer. And like I said, I love the idea
of taking probiotics. I love the idea of all the emerging research that's coming out on
this topic because I find it so fascinating. and it certainly is the future too. So, probiotics
can help reduce systemic inflammation. I mean, look at all the people out there who have
inflammatory diseases - heart disease, cancer, people who have arthritis. I mean, a lot of
people have inflammatory issues right now.
Improves brain health. The reason for this is because the gut actually is in direct communication
with the brain. The gut is considered the second brain because there's so much complex
neurology within the gut and when we look at the brain health, if the gut health is
bad, the brain health is bad because the way that these neurotransmitters work in the brain
and the way that the gut communicates with the brain stimulating the release of neurotransmitters,
it's very important for like serotonin and many others. So, we have to make sure if we
want to improve our brain health, we improve our gut health, take probiotics, all very
important.
Now if we aren't working on our brain health, that's when a lot of these issues come up.
Like I said, I've had so many patients I've worked with and we just start trying to reduce
inflammation in the brain, start fixing gut health, and it's amazing how all of a sudden
chronic anxiety that was out of control and unbearable just all of a sudden goes away.
Depression issues that they thought that well I'm a just a psychological nightmare and I
need to see a counselor and I need to do this and I need to be on all these drugs and we
start fixing the brain health and all of a sudden it just goes away. Now, this is something
that is incredibly important, and I say this because there were so many people struggling
with mental health issues. I'm very passionate about mental health issues, but if we don't
get to the root cause and we just keep pouring on all these different medications when it
comes to mental health problems, we were never going to actually find real solutions for
them. I think that the reasons we have a massive problem with mental health is because we have
a massive problem with brain inflammation. We have a massive problem with just brain
health in general. You start solving these issues. Guess what? The brain health problems,
the mental issues start to go away.
It's going to help improve cholesterol scores. A lot of people who have really bad cholesterol
scores, very unhealthy hearts. We want to make sure that we're taking probiotics because
they have been research proven to support that help reduce blood pressure, which is
truly incredible. That's really awesome that it can help with that.
Boost your immune system - this is something I love to talk about because in the United
States we have this country that is just like constantly getting hit with the flu and people
are freaking out about the flu and people are freaking out about this virus and that.
And one of the reasons that United States in particular when we look at the United States
versus other countries, that we are more susceptible to getting the flu and actually having it
be very damaging to our health and leading to even death in some cases is because our
immune systems are shot. People in the United States eat terribly for the most part and
also, they lack proper vitamins. Okay. So, we want to boost our immune system. Not only
are probiotics beneficial here, but vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin D, which
is incredibly important. I live in a very cloud covered region in Michigan and one of
the things that happens is that you don't see much sunlight for part of the year and
if you're not taking vitamin D, you will be deficient. If you're not eating foods rich
in vitamin D, you will be deficient. And guess what happens? Your immune system plummets
and that's just research fact and that's why so many people get very sick with problems
like the flu simply because their immune systems are shot. They get the flu and they can't
fight it off. For me, I get the flu because I'm concerned about actually boosting my vitamin
D levels and taking care of my immune system. Yeah, it might actually hit me for a day or
two, but never enough to keep me down. Never enough to put me out for a week. If you're
working on your immune system, you're going to find that you're going to not get sick
all the time.
So, probiotics are going to help boost that immune system and then improve your skin health.
It's very important to make sure that your skin health is good because the skin health
is a direct reflection of your gut health. If you have very poor skin health and lots
of acne, lots of problem, then your gut health is also very poor. And so, we have to look
at probiotics and how they can help with that. And I've had multiple patients that go and
they have real bad acne issues and they start taking probiotic. Bam. The acne issues go
away. Maybe they're getting rashes, they still taking probiotic rashes go away. And then
on the other end of that, if they stop taking it, let's say they're run out and they go,
hmm, I took them for a while, I'm good. The acne comes back and they notice it almost
instantly. So, probiotics are incredibly important. I can't stress enough. I think that you really
need to make sure that you're taking them for your overall health.
Give this video a thumb up, share in the description below your experience with taking probiotics
and how they've helped you transform your health and share this video with your friends.
