From birth through the school years, a child’s gut microbiome plays a powerful role in shaping digestion, immunity, mood, and even brain development. In this episode of The Wellness Digest, sisters Hannah and Lena Kleinfeld explore how a child’s microbiome develops, what can disrupt it (think antibiotics, stress, and picky eating), and how parents can naturally support gut health through food, lifestyle, and probiotics.

They also introduce two exciting new ways Omni-Biotic is making gut health easier for kids — with clinically formulated, science-backed probiotic blends tailored for little ones’ unique needs.

In this candid sister sit-down, Hannah and Lena Kleinfeld (Co-Founders of Omni-Biotic US) interview each other on wellness rituals, postpartum reality, running a company as siblings, and the science they’re most excited about right now. Hannah shares the mindset her Lyme journey taught her (“healing isn’t linear”) and the daily movement routine she refuses to skip. Lena myth-busts a trending question and shares a surprising health hack she picked up from her mother and swears by when you’re sick.   

They also talk about what most women don’t realize about their gut (hint: it’s a control center touching immunity, detox via the gut-liver axis, and the gut-brain connection), favorite research directions, and how growing up between the U.S. and Germany shaped their holistic approach. Plus: the best and hardest parts of working with your sister.

GLP-1 agonist medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Trulicity are everywhere, but the gut story is missing. In this episode, we break down what GLP-1s actually are (hint: your gut makes them), why medications can trigger GI side effects, how the microbiome fits into appetite and metabolism, and practical ways to support comfort and long-term metabolic health.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What GLP-1s do in the body: satiety signaling, slower gastric emptying, and glucose regulation
• Why side effects (nausea, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, bloating) happen and what that means for motility and long term gut health
• How the microbiome influences GLP-1 release (fiber → SCFAs → GLP-1) 
• Natural gut-metabolism supports: fiber and fermented foods, targeted probiotics, exercise, and mindful eating to help your body’s own GLP-1 signaling

Research we discuss:

• A clinical comparison of higher-dose liraglutide alone vs. lower dose + a targeted probiotic blend (½ of the Omni-Biotic Hetox formula), showing similar weight outcomes with fewer reported GI side effects and a lower risk of secondary dysbiosis when the microbiome is supported
• A U.S. case series of individuals tapering off GLP-1s, where adding Omni-Biotic Hetox was associated with steadier weight trajectories and improved GI comfort

Whether you’re on a medication or not, nourishing the microbiome is one of the most powerful ways to support metabolism and healthy weight.

Gut issues can derail your day, whether it’s constipation leaving you uncomfortable, diarrhea disrupting your rhythm, or acid reflux keeping you up at night. In this episode of The Wellness Digest, we break down the three most common digestive complaints: what they are, what causes them, and the simple strategies that can help you feel better fast.

From hydration, fiber, and targeted probiotics, to decoding food intolerances and microbiome imbalances, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways you can start using today. If you’ve ever wondered what your bathroom habits are telling you about the state of your gut (hello, Bristol Stool Chart), this is the episode you don’t want to miss.

This episode, we’re giving our take on today’s gut health trends. From “miracle” supplements to trendy wellness hacks, we’re asking the question: is this actually going to benefit me or a waste of time and money?Join us as we share our opinion on what’s worth it and what might just be hype. Because when it comes to your gut health, knowing what actually works makes all the difference.

Chronic stress doesn’t just impact your mind, it takes a serious toll on your gut and fuels inflammation.

In Episode 2 of the Wellness Digest 🎙️ we break down:

✨ The biggest takers of gut health (stress, antibiotics, alcohol & more)

✨ The everyday givers that help your gut thrive (probiotics, fiber-rich foods, sleep & movement)

✨ How to reset your gut microbiome after it’s been disrupted

Your gut plays a role in everything from immunity to energy, so knowing what harms vs. helps it can make all the difference.

We’re starting with a story that’s close to our hearts: Omni-Biotic Co-Founder & COO Hannah’s journey with Lyme disease. This challenging chapter not only reshaped her approach to health, but also introduced us to Omni-Biotic probiotics, sparking our mission to bring these science-backed formulations to the U.S.

In this first episode, we’re also breaking down the basics of gut health, why it matters for your whole body, and sharing what makes Omni-Biotic such a game-changing probiotic. You’ll hear why we saw such an urgent need for these formulations here in the U.S., and how they’re helping people everywhere unlock better digestion, immunity, and vitality.
