Part 3 of our probiotic series! Incase you missed it, be sure to check out parts 1 and 2 on our profile from Dr. Teresa. We’re talking all about different types of probiotics and how to know what’s best for you!To recap, remember that strain-based probiotics are for those who consider themselves to feel generally healthy and do not experience significant gastrointestinal symptoms - these people may be looking for some added benefit to their immune system. Strain-based probiotics should be taken with food, and should NOT be taken with antibiotics.SPORE-based probiotics, on the other hand, are often for people struggling with gastrointestinal symptoms. These can be taken on an empty stomach, and can be taken with antibiotics. Have questions for us or want to get scheduled with a provider who can help?

Welcome to PART 2 of Dr. Teresa’s probiotic series! We’re highlighting the differences between strain-based and spore-based probiotics, and how to choose what’s best for you.Our Fundamental SporeBiotic is great and very different from our strain-based products. Here are the clinical highlights:• Helps Gently Restore and Maintain Microbial Balance and Diversity • Reduces Gas, Bloating, and Food Intolerance • Improves Occasional Constipation and Diarrhea • Maintains GI Barrier Integrity A healthy GI tract is a finely balanced environment where countless microbes compete for space and nutrients. Under conditions of health, the ecosystem is balanced (eubiosis), and few GI and extra-intestinal symptoms exist. However, dysbiosis can occur when an overabundance of potentially harmful organisms prevails. Fundamental SporeBiotic is specifically formulated with several spore-based probiotic strains to promote diversity and balance within the host gut microbiota. Each capsule provides key Bacillus strains that remain in a dormant, protective state in the harsh GI environment, then become active on target to transiently re-establish and recondition the gut.

Welcome to our PROBIOTIC SERIES! Dr. Teresa is teaching us all about different types of probiotics, and how to choose what’s best for you. In part 1 of this series, we’re highlighting our Fundamental Probiotic. Here are some clinical highlights!• Helps Maintain Gastrointestinal Balance • Increases Secretory IgA for Enhanced Gut Immunity • Supports Bowel Regularity • Supports Digestion and Micronutrient Absorption The GI tract is a finely balanced environment where roughly 500 different strains of bacteria compete for space and nutrients. When there is a healthy balance (eubiosis), few symptoms exist. However, dysbiosis can occur when an overabundance of potentially harmful organisms prevail. The natural microflora balance can be upset by medications (such as antibiotics, oral contraceptives, etc.), excessive alcohol consumption, or poor dietary intake.Fundamental Probiotic is a unique probiotic formula designed to deliver active organisms shown to promote healthy gut microflora, protect intestinal integrity and boost immune function.To shop our Fundamental Probiotic and our other supplements, visit aimforwellbeing.org.

Hear from Dr. Katie about where we start when we know we need to uncover what is driving your inflammation! Hint: it’s often the gut.

There are so many ways that we can help you get to the root! And what works well for one person may not be what works well for the next - this is where our individualized approach can make all the difference.

Apple cider vinegar has been getting a lot more attention lately, and for good reason!There is research to support that drinking this dilution before meals can reduce the glucose spike of a meal by up to 30%, making it a useful tool for those looking to support blood sugar levels.Apple cider vinegar can also help ease digestive symptoms for some. Its acidity can help to raise and support stomach acid levels, which may help you break down and digest foods more easily. This can reduce gas and bloating, and even acid reflux symptoms for some people.As with many things in medicine and nutrition, it’s important to work with your provider to discuss whether home remedies are right for you. For many people, trying an apple cider vinegar dilution at home is worth a try! If you like tips like these, consider getting scheduled with one of our Registered Dietitians to tailor a plan that’s right for you, no matter what symptoms you’re working to resolve.

Dr. Katie Peeden has helped hundreds of patients along their journey to feeling their absolute best. Here’s more from Dr. Katie on why she chose to pursue integrative and functional medicine!“My traditional medical training provides a great outline but has not quite painted the whole picture of how to help patients restore balance and promote health in their lives. There is so much focus on disease treatment that we overlook the individual and the preventative and restorative properties of their own physiology that will bring wellness.” We are so glad that Dr. Katie decided to join the AIM team, and we know her patients are glad, too!

PART 3 of our stress series - be sure to visit our profile if you missed parts 1 and 2 of Dr. Steve explaining the stress curve and what you can do to support your body through stressful times!Stress isn’t all bad! It’s when the body is continuously exposed to stress or continuously experiencing the stress response that we can run into trouble. The initial, short lived phase of the stress response is the body’s normal fight or flight response to danger - this phase is characterized by elevated cortisol levels. While this fight or flight response is meant to be short lived, for many people, it becomes chronic. The body continues to bear the consequences of extended stress exposure, as cortisol remains elevated. Extended periods of stress not only burden the system, creating an imbalance in cortisol and DHEA production, but can result in a multitude of symptoms.
