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.
