Science is proving that good health is directly associated with having great gut health. Problems associated with bloating, indigestion, constipation, and IBS are all signs that you have a gut imbalance. Many people are told to just take a probiotic because that will make things better. That indeed does help. But what if there was even a faster way? What I mean is this Probiotics that dissolve in your stomach have to compete with your stomach acid.

And stomach acid destroys a lot of the probiotic, which means a lower percentage actually makes it to its targeted area. What if you could get 100%? That's right. 100% directly to your gut? Wouldn't that make a healthier environment faster? I got the chance to sit down with Tina Anderson, once a trial lawyer, but now the owner of a unique spore-based probiotic company called Just Thrive.
