🧠Gut Health Myths Busted
❌ Myth: You need detox teas to cleanse your gut
Truth: Your liver and kidneys do the detoxing. Focus on fiber, hydration, and fermented foods instead.
❌ Myth: All probiotics are the same
Truth: Different strains serve different purposes. Choose strains based on your need (e.g., Bifidobacterium for immunity, Lactobacillus for digestion).

It’s always best to consult a gastroenterologist or functional medicine practitioner if you experience:
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
- Blood in stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Severe bloating or pain
- Food intolerances that impact quality of life
