In case you missed it, a recent episode of the Hallmark Channel daytime talk show Home & Family featured a topic I’m pretty passionate about… probiotics! Hosts Mark Steines and Cristina Ferrare talked to renowned nutrition specialist Dr. Melina Jampolis, who shared with viewers some important facts about probiotics—including what to look for in an effective probiotic supplement.

Her advice to viewers included adding more probiotic foods and supplements to the daily diet to help maintain digestive balance and promote immune health, and during the segment she pointed out that Ultimate Flora probiotics from ReNew Life are an excellent choice when it comes to selecting a high-potency probiotic supplement because they meet key criteria: high culture count, multiple strains of bacteria, delayed release capsules and guaranteed potency.

The episode called attention to the fact that there are literally trillions of bacteria in the human digestive tract (roughly ten times more than human cells) and how a shift in the balance of good (and neutral) to harmful bacteria in the gut can have a significant impact on our digestive health as well as the health of the whole body—something I talk about at length in my book and PBS show The Heart of Perfect Health.

Be sure to tune in if you missed it!
