5 Odd Foods Packed with Probiotics

Hi, my name is Shawn Wells and I’m a Registered Dietitian and Chief Science Officer for BioTrust Nutrition. Over the last two decades, I’ve helped hundreds of thousands of good folks all around the world regain control of their bodies and their weight, and ultimately start LIVING again.

And today I want to help you!

But before we begin, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in my professional, expert opinion, most Americans’ entire GI tracts (consisting of more than 20 feet of small and large intestine) have been infested with “toxic bugs” that are secretly causing a massive bacterial imbalance within their body—a condition that may very well lead to a long road of pain and suffering.

What makes me say this? Well, millions of folks all over the world are unknowingly creating this serious imbalance through the ingestion of bacteria-promoting foods and other “toxic materials” that we are exposed to on a near-daily basis. I’m talking about the use of artificial sweeteners, “diet” beverages and food items, certain brands of yogurt, alcohol, mouthwash and even some brands of chewing gum, dishwasher detergent, and toothpaste.

What’s more, this bacterial imbalance is also directly linked to the use of common agricultural chemicals—those quietly hidden within our water and food supply—especially within meats and dairy products.1

And if that wasn’t bad enough, believe it or not, these health-detracting bacteria further feed and multiply on something you probably eat every single day—sugar.2

The fact is, if you suffer from occasional irregular bowel movements, constipation, gas, bloating, acid reflux, indigestion, skin problems, bad breath, fatigue, sugar cravings, and/or an inability to lose weight, these are a near telltale sign that your gut has ALREADY been infested by “bad” bugs.

The Bugs “Infested” Within Your Gut

But today, I’m going to reveal to you my top 4 insider strategies to rid your gut health derailing bacteria, including my #1 solution for correcting gut imbalances and alleviating all the negative signs associated with unhealthy gut bacteria, so be sure to read until the very end.

But before we get into those powerful health-restoring tips and tricks, I want you to know that I understand EXACTLY what you’re going through, and EXACTLY how you feel.

You see, while I’ve been helping people rid themselves of unhealthy bacteria for more than 20 years, I was once on the other side of the coin, just like you may be today. I too know what it’s like to suffer from the consequences of “bad bugs,” including low energy, gas, constipation, and restlessness at night.

When you’re constantly feeling run down, tired, and stuck in a rut, it can do a number on your self-esteem and overall morale, and rather quickly.

The truth is, many people think of their gut solely as the mechanism by which your body digests food, but in reality, your GI tract is MUCH more than a digestion center; in fact, it is quite literally your second brain as well as being “home” to 80% of your immune system.3

What’s more, within your gut reside roughly 100 TRILLION living bacteria—more than 10 times the number of cells you have in your entire body—and maintaining the ideal ratio of “good bacteria” (known as probiotics) to “bad bacteria”—a state known as symbiosis—is now gaining recognition as perhaps the single most important step you can take to protect your health and further your fat loss goals.

In fact, there are more than 200 studies linking inadequate probiotic levels—which is called “dysbiosis”—to more than 170 different health challenges; here are just a few:

  • • Regularity and GI health4
  • • Mood, wellbeing, and outlook5
  • • Metabolism, insulin efficiency, and carb tolerance6
  • • Immune system function and health7
  • • Skin integrity8
  • • Sensitivities to certain groups of food9
  • • Unsightly weight gain10
  • • And many, many more.

By the way, as a quick side note, I want to point out the little superscript numbers that will be appearing throughout this article like this 1, 2, 3. Each little number corresponds with a peer-reviewed medical research paper, so you can rest assured that the information I’m sharing is factual, credible information, based on real research from top medical doctors and universities—definitely not just my opinion. So be on the lookout for those, as we’ll share the full list of studies with you at the end of this presentation.

Good Versus Bad Bacteria

Now, to touch briefly on the weight gain and obesity consequences of inadequate probiotic levels, virtually every study performed on the obese population analyzing gut bacteria found higher instances of “bad” bacteria and lower levels of “good” bacteria within these individuals.11

You see, the ideal healthy ratio of “good” to “bad” bacteria is estimated to be 85% to 15%. Unfortunately, due to lifestyle and environmental factors, the vast majority of the population is severely lacking when it comes to good probiotic bacteria, throwing their gut flora ratio completely out of whack. This is essentially a state known as dysbiosis.

These 10 lifestyle and environmental factors (many are common household items) include:

  • • Sugar
  • • Artificial sweeteners of any kind—found in “diet” beverages and food items, chewing gum, yogurt, and even toothpaste
  • • Processed foods
  • • Regular tap water
  • • Pollution
  • • Antacids
  • • Laxatives
  • • Alcoholic beverages (beer, liquor, and wine)
  • • Agricultural chemicals and pesticides
  • • Antibiotics (found in meat, dairy products, and even the water that we ingest)

As you can see, these are things that most people are exposed to very regularly, if not every single day, making it almost certain that your gut flora balance is suffering, and will continue to suffer unless you do something to proactively correct this imbalance on a daily basis.

But as I mentioned earlier, there are 5 somewhat odd but extremely effective strategies you can begin using today that will help you battle unhealthy gut bacteria and finally allow you to get your life back, realize your full potential, and experience the excitement of living a life full of vibrancy and vitality once again.

4 Strategies to Balance Your Gut Bacteria

Strategy #1: The first tip is regularly eating these 5 odd fermented foods including:

  1. 1. Lassi (an Indian yogurt drink, traditionally served before dinner)
  2. 2. Various pickled fermentations of cabbage sauerkraut, turnips, eggplant, cucumbers, onions, squash, and carrots
  3. 3. Tempeh, a fermented soy product originating from Indonesia
  4. 4. Kombucha, a fermented popular health drink
  5. 5. Fermented raw milk such as kefir (our #1 choice)

Fermented foods are rich in “good” probiotic bacteria, and their consumption will help to rebalance your overall gut bacteria ratio. Just make sure to steer clear of pasteurized versions, like traditional yogurt, as pasteurization will destroy many of the naturally occurring probiotics.

That being said, the biggest downfall with fermented foods is that many people do not particularly enjoy their taste, and the amount you’d have to eat in order to get enough healthy bacteria to really make a difference is a bit impractical for the average person to consume, but every little bit helps.

For example, in order to get enough good probiotics into your intestine from kefir, you would need to slug down six, 8-ounce glasses of it every single day of your life. What’s more, kefir is lacking in several key strains of good bacteria, so even that wouldn’t be enough.

Strategy #2: The next strategy is to avoid virtually all sugar in your diet. Eating sugar-containing foods actually nourishes the bad or pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and fungi in your gut, which can actually have more of a negative impact on your health than sugar’s impact on blood sugar and insulin resistance. What’s more, artificial sweeteners are even worse than regular sugar, as a study performed at Duke University showed that it kills off the good bacteria in your gut.12

The problem with the “no sugar” strategy is that completely avoiding any and all sugar is a tall, bland order for most, and further requires that you give up many of your favorite foods—an option that most folks simply won’t be able to adhere to long-term.

Strategy #3: Moving on to the next tip, because gut flora is negatively affected by agricultural chemicals and pesticides, as well as antibiotics found in the meats we eat, another way to rebalance your “good” to “bad” bacteria ratio is to consume a 100% organic diet, free of chemicals, pesticides, and antibiotics.

Now, while this strategy would be highly effective in avoiding many of the environmental compounds that wreak havoc on your gut bacteria balance, it’s also extremely expensive and out of reach for most of the population.

But what if I told you there is an even easier way to rebalance your gut bacteria without having to eat large amounts of fermented foods, endure the expense of a 100% organic diet, or completely avoid all sugar and your favorite foods?

Well, there is.

Strategy #4: You can actually supplement with healthy bacteria (again, known as probiotics), and fact is, research is now suggesting that supplementing with probiotics every single day is even MORE important to your health than taking a daily multivitamin.

Even more, a recent double-blind study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that test subjects who received probiotics daily were able to reduce unsightly body fat by nearly 5% over a 12-week period, while the “no probiotic” group experienced no positive changes.13

The Problem with Most Probiotic Supplements

Here’s something you may not know. Up to 80% of the probiotics contained in traditional probiotic supplements will be DEAD before they ever reach your gut.

And of course, dead probiotics simply can’t provide the same gut rebalancing, symbiosis-promoting benefits that live probiotics do.

You see, one of the greatest challenges in creating a truly effective probiotic formula is being able to actually deliver delicate probiotic cells to the gastrointestinal tract, fully intact and alive. Because probiotics are living bacteria, they are also extremely sensitive to even the slightest change in environmental conditions. In fact, research has shown that after one year on the shelf, in a sealed bottle at room temperature, on average only 32% of conventionally produced probiotics survive.15

And get this, most of the probiotics products you find on store shelves are already well over a year old—even some as much as two years old. After all, big companies produce hundreds of thousands of bottles to cut cost and then store these bottles in their warehouses long before they ever end up in your hands.

But it gets worse.

Due to the extreme acidic environment of the stomach, another 80% of the remaining live probiotic cells will be killed off before reaching the intestine.16 In the end, traditional probiotic supplements, while claiming billions upon billions of active cells per serving, will only wind up delivering a measly 6.4% of what their label promises, alive and well to your gut.

With that said, you can see how a probiotic product claiming 20 billion cells is reduced to a mere 4 billion count rather quickly—which may still sound like a lot, but it’s not nearly enough to fend off and turn around your bacterial imbalance.

When it all boils down, not only are these products a complete waste of your time and money, but much more importantly, they are robbing you of the critically important health benefits that are the entire reason you would invest in a probiotic product in the first place.

Microencapsulation is THE KEY

Fortunately, there is a solution, and the answer lies in a patented process called Microencapsulation Technology™ developed by Italian researchers to keep probiotics alive and well.

You see, instead of leaving fragile probiotic cells to fend for themselves, this process encases each live cell in a lipid matrix to protect them from oxygen, light, acids, bile, and the like. The end result is dramatically enhanced survival of probiotic cells both on the shelf and through the stomach, and greatly improved delivery over traditional probiotic supplements.16

The challenge is, I’m only aware of one probiotic on the market that contains this special Microencapsulation Technology™ and that product is called Pro-X10™ by the most trusted supplement company in America, BioTrust Nutrition®.

Just two daily servings of Pro-X10™ effectively delivers TEN TIMES more live, healthy bacteria to your gut than traditional, non-microencapsulated probiotic products.

Pro-X10™ also strategically includes another patented, clinically tested and highly potent probiotic strain known as DE111™. DE111™ is a unique, heat- and acid-resistant form of the potent probiotic strain Bacillus subtilis, which has been shown to work wonders when it comes to rebalancing the “good” and “bad” bacteria in your gut.

In fact, in a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted by Dr. Gina Labellarte at the University of Wisconsin, participants taking DE111™ experienced a whopping 80% decrease in the nasty bug, E. coli, while those who did not take DE111™ saw a staggering 90% increase in E. coli levels.17

Not only is DE111™ unparalleled in its ability to control your gut flora balance, but it also promotes healthy digestion and nutrient absorption by helping the body break down an array of different proteins (including gluten), carbohydrates, and fats. What’s more, DE111™ promotes stronger gut lining, fortifies the immune system, and aids in the protection against food sensitivities; an all-around all-star when it comes to the health of your gut, as well as your entire immune system.17

And just when you thought Pro-X10™ couldn’t get any better, at BioTrust we made certain to go the extra mile for you and your gut health by incorporating of one of the most powerful probiotic support nutrients of all time, PreforPro®.

PreforPro® is a revolutionary new prebiotic that begins to improve gut health in a matter of 5 HOURS or less, with just a tiny 15 milligram serving. On the other hand, most other prebiotics require up to 1,000 times this amount and can take weeks to be even marginally effective. Also, PreforPro® is a non-fiber ingredient (unlike the majority of prebiotics which are indigestible fibers) effectively eliminating many of the common problems associated with prebiotics, such as embarrassing gas and uncomfortable bloating.

Just how much more effective is PreforPro® than other prebiotics when it comes to the growth of beneficial gut bacteria? Let’s take a look.

In a study conducted by Dr. John Deaton at Deerland Enzymes, after just 48 hours, PreforPro® increased the healthy bacteria Lactobacilli 467 times MORE than the leading prebiotic brand.18 Not only that, but PreforPro® has also been shown to dramatically enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria in BOTH the small and large intestine. This is extremely atypical of common prebiotics which only work in the large intestine, and further illustrates the capability of PreforPro® to radically improve complete gut health.

Now, as impressive as that is, PreforPro® still has yet one more trick up its sleeve. You see, in another recent study PreforPro® was also shown to increase the population of DE111™ by over 1000% after just 5 hours.19 That’s 11 times MORE of this extremely potent patented bacteria in your gut improving your digestion, crowding out bad bacteria, and supporting a healthy immune system, all in as little as 5 hours after your very first serving!

Why Pro-X10 is Superior to Other Probiotics

With over 1.3 MILLION bottles of the original Pro-X10 formula sold over the last 3 years, BioTrust Pro-X10 has become a natural health and probiotic phenomenon with these extraordinary results:

**Decrease “bad” pathogenic, health-derailing bacteria in your gut by a whopping 80% — and fast.

**Dramatically improve overall digestive health, gut lining strength, AND immune health (while at the same time crowding out and halting the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut)

**Yield a 467 TIMES greater increase in your positive gut bacteria and probiotic levels in as little as 48 hours! — NEVER, EVER seen before in the realm of probiotics!

**Significantly improve your gut flora ratio in just 5 short hours! (while other traditional products take weeks or months to begin working, if at all)

Talk about research-backed, gut-health restoring results!

Simply put, there is not a more effective, more advanced, faster-acting probiotic formula available on the market, period.

And as if all of that wasn’t enough, we even included 5 additional, extremely unique probiotic strains not contained in 99% of other products on the market, including:

  1. 1. Bifidobacterium breve for unprecedented digestive health. Levels of this healthy bacteria also decline with age, allowing certain toxin-producing “bad” bacteria to increase in number, making supplementation with this critically important strain a must.20
  2. 2. Bifidobacterium lactis for unparalleled immune health. In fact, this unique probiotic strain has been shown to boost immune system function by up to 61% after just 3 short weeks of supplementation.21
  3. 3. Lactobacillus acidophilus for its remarkable ability to halt the growth of pathogenic bacteria in your gut. As proof, research has shown that this healthy bacteria can reduce the growth of bad bacteria by up to 50% with regular supplementation—a clear choice for achieving the most healthy gut bacteria balance possible. 22
  4. 4. Lactobacillus plantarum, which is recognized as one of the most effective probiotic strains at promoting healthy gut function, strengthening gut lining, and crowding out bad bacteria, like E. coli. 3,24
  5. 5. Lactobacillus rhamnosus for second-to-none defense against bad bacteria. This highly-effective probiotic strain adheres to the walls of the gut where it creates a protective barrier, fortifying the immune system and helping to block the entry of bad bacteria into the intestines.25

Simply put, with research suggesting that probiotic supplementation is even more important to your health than taking a daily multivitamin, and the fact that inadequate probiotic levels have been linked through research to more than 170 different health issues, including obesity and weight gain, I truly believe that EVERYONE should be taking a quality probiotic daily, ongoing, to continually fight against the bacteria imbalancing factors that we are consistently exposed to every single day.

But as we’ve clearly shown, not just any probiotic product will do, and that’s why we developed Pro-X10™. Through patented Microencapsulation Technology, Pro-X10™ is able to deliver up to TEN TIMES more healthy bacteria to your gut—the equivalent of 50 BILLION cells daily—when compared to traditional probiotic products, where up to 80% of the cells are rendered dead and useless before ever reaching their final destination.

I’d also like to point out that Pro-X10™ is made with natural ingredients, is gluten-free, and contains no artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, preservatives, or stimulants. It’s really the best of the best—we’ve spared no expense.

And truthfully, Pro-X10™ couldn’t be any easier to benefit from—just take 1 capsule with breakfast and 1 capsule with dinner, and let science do the rest.

The Long Term Effect of “Bad Bacteria”
Now before I show you how you can get Pro-X10™ for yourself today at a sizeable discount, I want to make sure you’re aware of the devastating cost of continuing to do nothing about your gastrointestinal health and bacteria imbalance.

First, it doesn’t get better. It only gets worse.

While gas, bloating, indigestion, constipation, and cravings are among the “early stage” signs associated with negative probiotic balance, these can’t compare to the havoc and devastation that more advanced signs can wreak on your entire life, and your family.

Extreme gastrointestinal discomfort, unhealthy looking skin, and a constant battle with low energy levels are just a few of the more advanced consequences that can result from gut imbalances, if left unaddressed.26,27

Also, remember that 80% of your immune system finds its home within the walls of your gastrointestinal system. As such, leaving negative bacteria imbalance continually unresolved can derail your immune system, leaving you exposed and at risk.

Perhaps you can relate to feeling worn out and run down, and having to “pass” on experiencing many of life’s joys because you just don’t “feel up to it”. It’s a terrible reality that many people live day in and day out; and we don’t want that for you.

Even more, studies have linked inadequate probiotic levels to some of the most pressing health consequences in our lifetime.28,29 Not to mention what it’s doing to your weight, mobility, and overall livelihood.

Are those costs that you are willing to pay?

Let me be the first to tell you that your health, longevity, and quality of life are NOT worth sacrificing for something that can be so easily corrected.

And that’s why we created Pro-X10™—to give you what is truly the easiest, most simplistic, most effective solution.

At this point, you’re probably wondering how you can obtain Pro-X10™ for yourself, along with the price for such a breakthrough, quality formula; both great questions.

Because we only use the finest ingredients and top-rate probiotic strains in Pro-X10™, along with the true, Scientific Level™ of each (meaning we only use the exact amount of each ingredient that research shows to be effective, instead of throwing in a “dusting” of an ingredient just for window dressing like so many other popular brands do), combined with the cost of patented Microencapsulation Technology™, and the additional voluntary expense of 3rd party quality assurance testing, the cost to produce Pro-X10™ is 400% to 500% higher than many of the low-quality, ineffective probiotic supplements available on the market today.

Even more important, Pro-X10™ actually delivers what the label states—live, functional probiotic cells to your GI tract—unlike traditional probiotic products where up to 80% of the claimed cells will be dead and utterly useless before they even reach their home in your gut.

Instead, with Pro-X10™ we guarantee you’ll receive and benefit from live probiotics cells—the equivalent of 50 BILLION CFUs daily. And then we take things a step further by backing that promise with an unheard of 1-YEAR Unconditional Money-Back Guarantee.

And the price?
