So the concept that exists out there of, hey, there's this one probiotic that's going to fix your metabolism, your immune system, It's going to make you feel full. It's going to fix your digestion. That one probiotic, because it's got 20 strains, it's going to do all those things. That's complete hogwash. By the way, I was looking forward to saying hogwash while we're here in Texas.

That's complete nonsense. Instead, the approach should look like this. I have gas and bloating. I'm looking for a solution that's going to address my gas and bloating. What is the probiotic that has a human clinical trial to prove to me that in general, this is helpful for that particular goal? That's the one that you want. You want to use it in the amount that was proven in the study.

But then it still comes to the trial and error where, okay, yes, we have a human clinical study. It says that it works. Now I'm going to try it. And when you try it, you do it for anywhere from 30 to 60 days. But if you're not getting the benefit that you're looking for, it's time to move on. Even if it's proven by a study, it doesn't mean that it's proven for you.

What's proven for you is what actually works. So that's the key from my perspective. So it really starts with, though, asking the question, like, what am I hoping to accomplish here? And based upon that goal, going out and finding the thing that's actually proven in a human clinical study to work.

It could be that you have an intolerance to another strain. It could be that, look, your personal gut microbiome, this just doesn't work. It's not that the product is worthless, that same product may work for someone else, but it's just not going to work for you. And it kind of gets back to this broader question of the individualism that we have within our gut microbiome.

Why is it that I can take a medication that would work for nine out of 10 people, but yet there's this one person out there that's going to give them a horrible adverse effect? And I can't predict that. And if I could, clearly I would not have given it to them in the first place.

So why is it that the exact same thing could be so helpful to so many people and yet potentially cause serious harm for someone else? I think the answer to that question exists within the microbiome.
