Probiotics Guide: How to Pick the Right Probiotic- Gut Bacteria Overview | Thomas DeLauer… I want to give you the breakdown and a study guide to help you understand what probiotics you should really be looking for. It's been a popular question that's been coming up and I want to address it and give you the signs and give you the research, and one of the probiotic strains I'm going to talk about today is the most researched probiotic strain that exists to date. There have been over 1,000 studies backing it up in over 30 years of research. So I'm going to talk about that one and I'm also going to talk about another one that is extremely, extremely popular. Now I'm not talking about brands, I'm talking about strains. This isn't any kind of pitch or anything, this is literally talking about the different strains of probiotic and you can find them on any label. So it's going to help you understand what you should be looking for, but also understanding the general harmony of the gut biome and how it effects our immune system.
If you haven't already, go ahead and hit that subscribe button so you can see whenever I post a video or go live, and also make sure you turn on notifications so you never, ever miss a beat when it comes down to this channel.
Okay, so let's start with L. rhamnosus. Lol what? Yeah, L. rhamnosus is the most popular, most researched strain of probiotic that is out there, like I said, with over 1,000 studies behind it and over 30 years of research. So L. rhamnosus is a very specific type of lactobacillus, and it's been shown to do a lot of different things within the body, but in order to understand what Lactobacillus rhamnosus does, I want to explain to you a very important cardinal rule, a cardinal educational foundation when it comes down to understanding probiotics and the gut biome in general. It's called competitive adhesion.
You see, whenever anything bad passes through your body, we're talking about a mold, we're talking about a pathogen, bad bacteria, whatever, you name it, as it passes through your body and passes through your intestinal track, passes through your digestive system, it has to latch onto a cell before it can ever cause a problem. So, in an unideal world what'll happen is that mold or that pathogen will attach to the cell and then it will trigger macrophages, or white blood cells, to come on and do their trick and do their whole thing, trigger inflammation, and you get sick, you go through the ropes, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, but if we have a situation where a bad pathogen doesn't have the ability to latch on to the cell in the first place, we don't get sick, we don't have an immune response. So how is this possible? Sounds like it's way too good to be true.
Well when we have good bacteria in the gut, what ends up happening is these good bacteria will latch on to the cell for us. See what we have to remember is good bacteria is still a foreign bacteria, it's still another living being inside of us as a living being. So although it's supposed to be there, it's kind of not supposed to be there. It's sort of like those birds that sit on top of a rhino or a hippo. It's like they’re not born with those birds on them, they also play a critical role in the survival of the hippo or the rhino. So what ends up happening is the good bacteria latch onto the cell and then occupy the spaces where the bad bacteria normally would try to bind. So that's exactly why, if you have more good bacteria than bad bacteria, you're in a situation where the good bacteria will always prevent bad bacteria from making you sick. So that is exactly why they say that you're immune system starts in your gut, and if you're constantly using hand sanitizers or you're constantly heating foods that destroy your gut bacteria, anyway, I digress, that's going to make it a big problem, right?

So helpful 😭😄 I got sick this week and I used acidophilus but my stomach was so bloated and constipated! I switched to renew life for women and I was better in 2 days!

[@HolisticTradingSignal]

I think brands version of this would be the best video... in Practical sense so we can be guided properly what is good or bad #TheTdelauer

[@whateverifeellikeshitposti9997]

Thanks for this. I've been looking around lately for information like this. I've been trying to find sources that tell the exact minerals, vitamins, probiotics that we should have in our diets. It's not impossible but it has proven to be hard to find straightforward answers. Maybe I am just bad at researching, but it definitely seems like a lot of the information is convoluted. It was nice to get a straightforward answer for once.

[@jeremybailey1648]

God bless my man. I've been watching your videos for about 3 years and learned a ton from you, Dr. Berg and bobby from flav city. You 3 are my go-to guys for information and any questions I have. Keep pumping them out I love the science behind why we do things makes doing them easier and worthwhile.

[@alyssakukla8654]

I agree!! My 3 Favorites as well!!! 😃👍

[@julielevesque2668]

So what kind of foods should I eat?

[@julzframe5019]

I have been searching and wanting to listen to a video about this! I have had a history of strong antibiotics and it has really taken a toll on my stomach, when prior to surgeries I was already sensitive to wheat and dairy products. Would love to hear more About this subject Thomas!

[@karinamorford3949]

This is so timely for me. I am currently on a round of antibiotics because of a severe infection. Thanks for the information.

[@karinamorford3949]

@Heryette Parro i am currently using seed that was recommended by Chris Kresser. I have also used layer origin.

[@jillbert437]

Agree with others here... @Thomas DeLauer, teach us the best methods for DIY fermentation of foods. Kombucha, sauer kraut and lacto fermented vegetables. And how you can stay in ketosis while doing it!

[@scubagirl4700]

What do you recommend as a product to purchase?

[@Moose92411]

What's the best way to get these probiotics into my system? Diet? Supplementation? Multivitamin?

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Melissa Rester thank you for watching!

[@maureengannaway8635]

Thank you so much Thomas. I was about to order an ( Sbo) probiotic I heard about from a PBS special about fixing gut health. I have learned so many health words because of you. 😊

[@M-Forz]

I usually only take sauerkraut for my probiotic needs.(non pasteurized, of course) And feed them buggers some prebiotic in the form of potato starch, as well. Seems to have the right effekt but you never know whats what.

[@Aviation_Professional]

And I love the GI Biome as well and welcome more videos on this subject!! Few things matter more for HEALTH!!!

[@TrolleoMcTroll]

A good strand and high cfu unit is all great, but a cheap manufacturer might encase that in a cheap capsule. The problem then becomes: this great strand dies in the stomach acids before making it into the intestines. Its better to first find a brand reputable in having colonies found during the...poop in the bowl test... (meaning they made it through the stomach in a good casing) than it is to focus solely on strand.

[@sharkeytom3563]

Hi Thomas I've been doing IF for a few weeks now, been following every single advice you had on fasting but the one question I can't find an answer to anywhere on internet is if adding cinnamon to your coffee breaks your fast. Cinnamon is excellent for your health, that you made it clear but does it work during a fast ? Thanks and keep up the good work

[@sharkeytom3563]

Thanks mate

[@Blackdiamond929_]

This was great came just at the right time! What about Lactobacillus Reuteri ?

[@yvonneg2825]

Any recommendations on good probiotic?

[@ToolsOutsideTheBox]

Keep it coming about the microbiome

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

If you found this interesting, you may also want to know that probiotics are microorganisms that are shown to provide a health benefit to the host, when provided in adequate amounts. So dosage is important!

[@Dessthemess]

AND you list references 👏 amazing content right here. Thank you for your time and energy into creating it!

[@DaniRobot]

Excellent video! Can you please make a video of the best probiotics to treat anxiety?

[@jacklonghearse9821]

Daniel Maldonado Sanchez You sure you need a probiotic to help you? Maybe there are some life issues you need to deal with. Fasting definitely helps the brain with stress and anxiety though I can tell you that from my own experience.

[@katie3235]

Hey, Thomas. I love your videos, but on this one, I have a question. Why not just eat your probiotics in food: Kefir, Kombucha, Cultured Vegetables--the trilogy, and feed them with prebiotics. They are best if you make them yourself with good quality ingredients. Thats what I do and I've never felt better.

[@makehumanitygreatagain8128]

Yes, that is a good idea. However, if you suffer from a specific medical condition that can be solved by acute knowledge such as this it is also helpful to know. For example, you go out to eat and come down with a bad case of diarrhea. You stop by the health store and grab some lactobasillus rhamnosus (that good ole GG baby!) as recommended by your main man Tommy D and voila overnight you're fixed. My point is acute knowledge is always great to know even if blind general practices serve you well overall.

[@katie3235]

Agreed. However, if you build a good culture from food and feed it with prebiotic food it will be much stronger. In other words, it will kill pathogens before they get a stronghold. Food is always your best medicine, though knowing the specifics as Thomas gives us is even more power and control. I'm not against knowledge. I just think he should have addressed the foods that contain these good bacteria and yeasts.

[@timhill2645]

Hi Katie I have suffeerred from stomach burning and IBS for 5 years and I want to learn how I could introduce fermented foods by making themmyself...

[@katie3235]

The best place to start is cultured food life. com. Donna Schwenk has a youtube channel that is awesome. Everything I know I learned from Donna. www.culturedfoodlife.com/about-me/ kzbin.info/door/_qK86ZC-WEbU9ekrk_lG_g

[@timhill2645]

HI Katie thank you very much for that I got worse at the age os 24 and now im 28 I am an optican and had to leave my career :(

[@tonystyles21]

so which one do I buy ?

[@kimshreffler4606]

Thanks for the info. This is somethings I have never heard before and I am interested in doing more research. I love the science that you present on your channel.

[@TheRavenMaiden]

Informative video, but not much of a guide as the title suggests. Definitely need a part 2 with more specifics about which foods and products are worth consuming. Thanks!

[@AwakenGiovanni1000]

This guy is the man when comes to food advice.

[@sabrinakellner6748]

Not trying to take away from all the wonderful info given in this video BUT... I'm just lovin' that spongebob mug!

[@moshake2303]

You should tell us whats the best brand of probiotics are?? There are so many out there

[@AdrienBCaldwell]

Can anyone recommend a supplement that has a good balance of the better strains of probiotics mentioned by DeLauer?

[@StrumentoGearon]

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG colonize in the small and large intestines and is good, Lactobacillus Acidophilus also colonize well in the GI tract and it is not so good?

[@eigengrau2819]

What do you usually eat if you don't take gluten?

[@LThill-ks2uz]

Biology 101 question: how do the bacteria multiply? do they"split" apart or reproduce another way? how do they differ from enzymes? what/how do they feed in the gut, how does this help us?

[@SharpSapphire]

They’re considered “good bacteria” which eats the “bad bacteria” thereby keeping gut healthy. In general, bacteria can reproduce with each other or self replicate, depending on the type.

[@matthewrickyrad]

yes please do more videos on gut health! 👍

[@joshuahjones4065]

Its best to get a probiotic with as many different strands as possible in them and as much of those strains as possible in them. Also eat a lot of different fermented foods and drinks along with prebiotic foods(foods that feed the little guys and help them thrive, Jerusalem artichokes, asparagus, onions, garlic, beets, cranberry, pomegranate, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.).

[@rachkate76]

My greens powder has Jerusalem artichoke, liver support and 74 different trace minerals. Plus it's keto friendly.

[@bonanzatime]

Joshuah Jones That's one school of thought. The other school of thought is narrow your probiotic intake to just one or two different strains. .. So Who The Hell REALLY Knows?! Lol. So much bullshit out there.

[@joshuahjones4065]

bonanzatime thats stupidly true haha. My experience is just my own honestly. But I've defeated Candida, h pylori and have healed my tears in my intestines with all that plus tons of bone marrow broth and eating clean, all under my doctors guidance. Take it with a grain of salt because yeah its just my experience but that was what my doctor had me do and I still do to this day.

[@bonanzatime]

Joshuah Jones h pylori? is that the strand of bacteria that healed your candida? ... The very best probiotic I ever have taken is wild fermented coconut water. Let it ferment at least 11 days and up to 16 days. I drank a quart of it all at one time and didn't itch for 9 days. What relief! I don't know what's in it, but it works better than anything else.

[@joshuahjones4065]

bonanzatime no. H pylori is an invasive aggressive intestinal parasite that usually goes hand in hand with Candida unfortunately. It uses hooks and anchors itself into your intestines and just shreds them up. It sucked.

[@bholster8073]

So which one to buy?

[@Nabu78]

Thanks Thomas for always great videos, and thans to anyone who's commenting trying to improve and get better. I have a question: when i look at what probiotics to buy, should i just avoid ANY amount of acidophilus or...what's the acceptable amount i can accept of it? I mean about how many CFU is ok for a probiotic to have acidophilus? Thanks for who will answer my question!

[@jonnyhideoutuk]

Thank you Thomas

[@legacytribunepresents]

Cool, would love to hear more about gut bacteria.

[@lolo2lolo491]

So what bacteria to look for now and what brand does not include asphodapils that is the bad bacteria?

[@vinceliardi1662]

This was great, thanks!

[@whysoserious6118]

What is right time to take probiotics....before food or after

[@Noctaire]

Would definitely like to see more about the gut biome with even more scientific basis. One thing that seems problematic is knowing that the probiotics are working. Between proper storage, product quality, and just whether or not the bacteria make it last the stomach to colonize in the intestines.... 😳

[@belizeguy]

Hey There Thomas! I make my own yogurt at home. Can L. rhamnosus be added into my"mix" and incubated in my yogurt? Thanks !

Thank you for the informative channel and may God bless you for spreading the Holistic Health Gospel! Would it be possible to discuss the efficiency of taking probiotics orally given the fact that not much can pass through the stomach acid and stay alive?

[@ypmm53]

Great clip!! Thank you.

[@higherresolution4490]

Another good video! Most appreciated. Poor gut diversity of bacterial strains is considered to be 800 and below-typical for those eating a processed, sugary, Western diet. Good diversity for Westerners is 1,200-to 1,400 strains. Normal for aboriginal peoples in Africal and Australia is 1,800 to over 2,000 species, Yes, lots of soluble fiber in their unprocessed diets. As best as possible, maintain Bifidobacteria strains in the colon whose percentage of colonization goes from 60% in infants and children, to 30-40% in early middle age, to 5-10% in late middle age. Also, stay on the bacteroides side as opposed to the firmicutes side of bacterial classification. Firmicuties are the sugar lovers.

I know there are a lot of factors to factor in and everyone is different...and I am sure changing my diet is top priority now i do consume a lot of good sugars and dont want to feed all that mess. How about fasting, would that clear my gut out instead of taking antibiotics if it got down to that? Thanks so much for all your help!!

I am literally gobsmacked at how many probiotics have acidophilus as the main ingredient. And how many do not have any rhamnosus. Even most that have rhamnosus also have acidophilus listed just before and after it. Same is true for most of the store bought yogurts. Thanks for the heads us. I'm now making my own almond milk yogurt using rhamnosus as the starter. Crazy how easy and idiotproof it is.
