166: Supplements To Take, Avoid, And Approach With Caution (As A Certified Microbiome Analyst)

Walk into any health food store or spend five minutes on social media and you'll be told you "need" a long list of supplements for your gut.

Bitters.
Berberine.
Greens powders.
Probiotics.
TUDCA.
Ox bile.

But are they actually helping your microbiome... or could they be making things worse?

In this episode, Tara shares her honest, research-backed opinion on the gut supplements she believes are worth considering, which ones are overhyped, which should only ever be used with the right testing, and the supplements she believes most people should avoid altogether.

Drawing on more than a decade of clinical experience and her training as a Certified Microbiome Analyst, Tara explains why the right supplement depends entirely on what's happening inside your gut, and why guessing can sometimes do more harm than good.

If you've ever wondered which supplements are actually worth your money, this episode is for you.

Covered in this episode:

• The supplements I genuinely recommend and why
• Which ones are mostly hype
• Why strain matters when it comes to probiotics
• Why prebiotics are one of the most underused tools in gut health
• The supplements I only use with proper testing
• Why I no longer use berberine or oil of oregano in my clinical practice
• The biggest mistake I see women making when buying supplements online
