 Hey everyone, this is Dr. Ruscio. Today, I'm here with Phyllis who's had some nice results using the probiotic protocol that we discussed in Healthy Get Health U. She of course is seeing me as a patient in my clinical practice but that was a pretty cathartic step for her that we just took. So I wanted to kind of capture this moment because one of the things I think I haven't done is is really articulated how profoundly impactful the three-category probiotic protocol outline in the book can be. And so Phyllis, can you get people up to speed on a little bit of your history and what you were doing prior and then we can talk about the effects of the probiotics? Sure. So I've been having gut issues, digestive issues for a little over three years now and have, you know, tried a number of different things have been on a low-fod map for a paleo-low-fod map for about two years and had, you know, some success there have also tried in the past kind of random probiotics and actually seem to have more of a negative reaction and so then I just quit using them and figuring that it's just not for my system. So this time around, I've been on this particular protocol I think for now about six weeks and it's has three different probiotics that Dr. Ruchio had me, you know, introduced in a very, you know, specified way and I was nervous about it, but, you know, willing to give it a try and so my body handled those well and what I've noticed are a couple of things. One is just a general sense of having a calm gut or intestine, which feels good and then I definitely, my energy baseline has increased and then I'm having better bowel movements and some, you know, certain regularity and it feels more like how I remember my body used to be and so I wasn't expecting such a positive reaction but, you know, because I've done the other things. This is the one of the more discernible differences in what I've been doing and I'm very excited about it and I, yeah, I like the results. And again, I just think it's really worth underscoring that you did have some negative reactions to probiotics in the past and so we had you start on the three probiotics, the lactobifidobland, the espilarity and the soil these probiotic, one at a time, giving maybe five days for each and again, this worked really well for you and what I think for some people is as you kind of hinted at, they've tried different probiotics before but they've never really presented their gut with a well-rounded protocol that's going to hit all three of the categories and give your gut, again, that really diverse, healthy probiotic stimulus and it's just it's such an important facet of gut health probiotics and so this is something I just really wanted to capture because it sounds so simple, just use these three probiotics when, especially when someone says, well, I've been to the health food store, I've tried this one, I've tried that one, I've tried the other one but again, there's something about integrating the three categories and what we'll see for most people is they work together very well and see a nice resolution of one's symptoms. However, for a smaller subset of people, they may say that one felt good, that one felt good, that one felt bad but because we've separated them out, you can now easily discern, okay, that one didn't feel good I'll leave that to the side and I'll use these two. So, again, just wanted to kind of capture this, Phyllis, because you've been tinkering with your gut health for quite a while and I think you were kind of surprised, like, wow, just simple probiotic protocol led to this, you know, fairly cathartic improvement so it was a choice opportunity for us to kind of capture this because for the people as I read in the transcript of this or watching this, don't discount how powerful a well-constructed broad-spectrum probiotic protocol can be for your gut. Absolutely, so I'm glad to have shared my experience. Awesome. Any closing words you want to leave people with? Mainly that if I'd been left to my own devices, these are not three I would have chosen and they're totally outside my realm of knowledge and so for me it's just been wonderful to trust your recommendations, go forward, and then bam, they work, so I'm happy. Thank you Phyllis, for sharing your story, I really appreciate you being open to discussing this with us. Okay, thanks and you have a good day. Okay, bye-bye.
