Dr. Brooke Show #452 Probiotics: How They Work + How To Know What You Need

February 20, 2026

Probiotic supplements abound, but is the latest, fancy-pants strain the answer?

In this episode, I talk about how to think about using probitoics, what they can do and whether or not you need a supplement or can you get what you need from foods. I also cover dosages and strengths, gut testing and how probitoics help common conditions like leaky gut, constipation and even SIBO.

If you are looking for an expert prescriber for HRT during your perimenopause or menopause journey but are at odds with your local provider being a bit behind current best practices or you simply can’t find anyone near you to help, it is MIDI to the rescue! I’ve worked with a number of telehealth services in my search for providers that are up to date on modern menopause medicine, have great customer service, and are licensed in all 50 states and I’m so thrilled to have found my provider with MIDI.
