  • Max Willis Shares Probiotic Best Practices for Optimal Gut Health
    Max advises taking probiotics "first thing in the morning on a relatively empty stomach" with yogurt or water, avoiding acidic drinks. Fermented and prebiotic-rich foods enhance benefits, while acidic foods and red meat should be avoided. Probiotics can be taken with antibiotics if spaced two hours apart. Enteric-protected capsules are recommended for better survival through stomach acid.

    Max highlights side effects like nausea and suggests alternatives like chelated and liposomal iron for better absorption. He explains hemochromatosis and stresses consulting a doctor before starting supplements. Dosage varies: "8 mg for men, 18 mg for menstruating women, and 30 mg for pregnant women." Regular blood work is crucial to avoid excess iron and ensure balance.
