Where it was my job to ensure the health of astronauts in order to keep their minds sharp while in the deep, lonely reaches of space.

I should mention, the reason NASA was so interested in me in the first place is, I’m a world-renowned brain health expert.

“Wait a minute,” you might be thinking. “Why is a brain specialist talking to me about my poop??”

It’s a fair question, and I don’t mind answering, as long as you are OK with me “taking the gloves off” and giving you some straight talk.

Again, if this isn’t something you think you can handle, I understand, but you haven’t left yet, so that tells me 4 things about you:

One, you’re a solutions-oriented person who can look at a problem practically, while others get hung up on unpleasant details.

Two, you’re not where you want to be health-wise. Maybe you haven’t felt that “spark” in a few years. Maybe decades. Maybe you’ve never felt it. Doesn’t matter, what IS important is you’re here now. You want to live a life full of energy, joy, and mental wits — while looking your very best.

Three, you’re ready to take action and fix the problem staring at you from that porcelain bowl.

And four, you want to be as fit and healthy as possible, and want to find a way to get the inside track on helping you achieve this.

So why is poop such an important indicator of your health… and what’s it got to do with your brain?

It’s the barometer of the body.

In fact, leading institutions like Johns Hopkins Medicine, The Cleveland Clinic and Scientific American now say

When you feel that familiar 2:30 afternoon crash…

When your friends invite you out for a round of drinks and you just don’t feel in the mood…

When you’re short-tempered with your spouse for no reason…

That’s not because you’re just having a bad day…

That’s your gut dictating how you interact with the world.

You might think your gut isn’t there for much other than processing food…

Heck, that’s what most people — including the entire scientific community — thought for decades.

Now, I’m not here to give you an anatomy lesson. I’m here to give you the facts.

So let me put it like this…

And emerging evidence in the scientific community is showing that your “second brain” plays a key role in your mental health. ²

Energy levels. Mood. Stress. Memory. Focus.

Yeah, for a long time we all thought we had the gut figured out.

Well, we were wrong. We were all wrong. And we’ve paid the price for it.

I’d say you’ve paid enough, wouldn’t you?

The bloated gut... The complete lack of motivation or energy... The mood swings... A slower brain...

The feeling like you’ve lost that SPARK you used to have…

Don’t you want to get that back? Aren’t you willing to fight?

And I really mean FIGHT.

Because life has taken its licks against you. Hit you with a vicious 1–2 combo. Caught you right on the chin.

And you’ve hit the mat.

The ref is counting to 10. The crowd is jeering.

9 out of 10 people will just stay down. It’s easier down here. What’s the point of fighting?

I don’t think you’re that person. And I KNOW you don’t want to BE that person.

So let’s get you up off the mat.

And let’s hit back.

Ready?

Well, first you need to know what you’re up against.

Because like I said, what you find in your toilet is probably your BEST indicator of your gut health.

It’s like the messenger giving the status report for how things are going up there.

Now, this surprises a lot of people, because the general consensus is…

“Poop is poop.”

Actually, that couldn’t be further from the truth. And your health will suffer as long as you fail to recognize that.

Look, I’m not here to tell you your poop should smell like a rose garden…

That being said…

Or worse, looks like a Jackson Pollock painting — in other words, watery and containing no solid pieces…

Those are signs of diarrhea, meaning your stool moved through your bowels too fast and didn’t form into a healthy poop. ³

On the other hand, small, marble-like poop that is difficult to pass…

Or dark, almost black-colored poop…

Is a sign of constipation, and another indicator of poor gut health.

The sad thing is, most people have these types of bowel movements so often they don’t even think twice about them…

Almost as if they’re normal…

When they ACTUALLY aren’t… if you’re in good health.

For example, over my career I’ve had a lot of professional athletes as patients.

These guys are in elite shape, so most of them take great care of their bodies.

One time, though, I had a baseball player who had just gotten back from a bachelor party for his brother…

And he called me in an absolute PANIC.

He told me how unpleasant his bowel movement felt, how bad it smelled compared to his normal movements, and that his stomach was bloated and in intense pain.

I knew this guy’s habits — he worked out every single day, ate clean and almost never drank. So when he told me he had just gotten back from a bachelor party, I actually chuckled a bit...

Then explained to him that his body was reacting to all the unhealthy food and alcohol he had taken in during the trip…

Which was the cause for the unpleasant bowel movement.

Now, while that story is a little amusing…

It does highlight a bigger problem…

And that is, these “bad poops” ought to happen to us so rarely that they’re a cause for concern.

Unfortunately, we get so used to them, we just accept them as part of everyday life…

When really that’s your body sounding the alarm to tell you the system is failing.

Again… When it comes to your body and the danger it’s in…

This is no laughing matter.

ENSD describes issues related to the gastrointestinal system many people suffer from occasional:

However, with the new wave of studies connecting the gut to mental health, ENSD could be the cause of cognitive issues, such as:

Most people have it, yet no one wants to bring it up.

Ironically, it’s kind of like that smelly fart in a crowded elevator.

We’re all suffering, yet no one says anything.

Except, you’re not just suffering because of an unpleasant smell….

You’re suffering because you don’t have the lively zest that used to define you.

Your once proud midsection now hangs over your belt to the point you sometimes can’t see your toes.

And because your “second brain” is running with toxic sludge infesting every nook and cranny…

Your mood is unpredictable. One day you feel like you can take on the world, the next you can barely find the will to swing yourself out of bed.

And now, there’s a word attached to you that you never, ever would have imagined…

“Cranky.”

We can fix that…

By fixing your poop.

Because as we know…

How DO we know that, though?

In order to understand how we found this connection between gut and overall health…

We have to go all the way back to a small Russian village in 1845… with one brilliant scientist… his unrelenting passion for biology...

And his attempt to kill himself.

Elie Metchnikoff was born to a Ukranian father in the Imperial guard, and a Jewish mother.

And even at a young age, Elie showed an intense interest in science. By age 8, he was already making notes on wildlife and using pocket money to bribe his brothers to attend his amateur lectures held in the yard.

At 16, he borrowed a secondhand microscope from a nearby university and that’s when he went from inquisitive amateur to full-blown prodigy. He breezed through school, earning a 4-year degree in just 24 months, then spent his early adult life working as a researcher and professor specializing in human biology.

Then in his 30s he made the discovery that would change everything.

Metchnikoff was married to a woman named Olga who, sadly, became ill with typhoid fever. Though she survived, the ordeal caused enormous financial strain on Metchnikoff, who developed serious depression.

And in 1875, at the age of 30, Metchnikoff attempted suicide.

Ever the scientist, though, he didn’t want his death to be a waste, so he decided to use his suicide as an opprotunity to further scientific discovery. So instead of traditional suicide methods, Metchnikoff tried something a little different — a relapsing fever.

His hope was to discover whether the disease could be carried by blood. So he planned to give himself a terrible fever. Over and over and over again, until it killed him.

And then something truly shocking happened… something that the brilliant biologist never anticipated…

He survived.

Blessed with a second chance at life, Metchnikoff began to revolutionize biological study.

During a research project at Messina University in Italy, Metchnikoff was observing starfish larvae and hypothesized that small cells (known as mobile cells) helped act as defense to the organisms.

To test the theory, he pinned small thorns from a tangerine tree to the larvae.

The next day, he found the thorns were surrounded by those mobile cells, which led him to question if our own cells could actually pick up and digest bacteria that entered the body.

Metchnikoff wrote…

“It struck me that similar cells might serve in the defense of the organisms against intruders.”

Keep that in mind, because it’s going to be very important in a minute.

While studying with Louis Pasteur in Paris, in order to test his theories on bacteria and disease, he drank a solution that he knew would cause cholera.

Those around him might have thought this to be another suicide attempt, but Metchnikoff knew better. He theorized that…

“The proper alteration of the intestinal flora could help battle diseases that have plagued humans for centuries.”

His reasoning was that if swallowing “bad” bacteria could make you sick…

Swallowing “good bacteria could make you healthy.”

How was this possible, when the average lifespan at that time was much lower? ⁴

Metchnikoff discovered a common link between these centenarians and how their diet contributed to their overall health…

Specifically, he was intrigued when he learned the villagers of the Caucasus Mountains drank a fermented yogurt drink every day…

Which contained a very special bacteria called Lactobacillus…

Which he theorized could kill rot-causing germs. ⁵

His studies found that Lactobacillus improved the health of these villagers and could have contributed to their astounding longevity.

So now let’s fast forward, over 113 years later…

Back to you, and your body.

Wouldn’t you like to live a longer, healthier, happier life?

To end this “hangover” feeling you’ve been having for years…

And finally feel like you’ve hit the ‘reset’ button on your body?

When your gut is filled with toxic sludge, it infests every corner of your overall health…

Most people don’t understand that connection.

They just think, “Oh well, I have bad gut health. I guess that means a stomach ache every now and then. No big deal.”

If that’s what you think, as a doctor, I need to stop you right now.

This isn’t about feelings, this is about facts. And you’re the kind of person that can handle some hard truths, so here they come.

Because I’m going to share some critical information you need to hear…

So that you’ll appreciate exactly what’s at stake when you let that muck linger in your system for years and years.

These are the

Did you know you’re basically a giant factory?

It’s true. Your body is a factory that runs non-stop, all day and all night.

And like any large organization, there are different roles and responsibilities that must be fulfilled in order to keep things running smoothly.

Of course, the person in charge of this factory is YOU.

You’re the head honcho. The person making all the big decisions: how to fuel the factory, when the factory should ramp up or slow down production, and different strategies to take in order to ensure the success and survival of the factory.

It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it.

Yet, as any boss knows, you can’t do everything yourself. Especially for an organization as complex and important as this one. You need help. You need loyal, obedient workers who are committed to the company mission…

That mission, by the way, is to keep you (the factory) alive and running smoothly.

And your body has a few of these workers. Actually, more than a few. It’s closer to tens of trillions.

These workers are your body’s microbiome.

Microbiome is the word we use to describe the microorganisms in your body that you use to stay alive, as they perform thousands and thousands of various tasks…

Protecting against germs… breaking down food… producing vitamins your body needs…

On and on it goes. Your body is full of these faithful foot soldiers who only exist to keep you healthy, happy and functioning.

Just about every aspect of your health and well-being is related to your microbiome.

And that’s why, if you suffer from bloating, poor focus, low energy, bad mood, digestive problems, anxiousness, or extra pounds on the scale…

It’s critical you understand this.

Listen, I’ve treated tens of thousands of patients over my career.

And a lot of them will chalk these symptoms up to poor genetics.

“That’s just the way it is, doc.”

Well, it DOESN’T have to be… but that starts with you.

Remember, YOU’RE running the factory. You get to make the decisions that dictate how your microbiome -- those loyal worker bees -- will behave.

So be honest -- are you doing your job as well as you should?

Are you committed to making sure your factory can run smoothly and efficiently?

“But doctor, I’m getting older!”

Yeah, so what? That just means you should have more experience by now, and you should know what your body needs.

Now, because you’re listening to this, it means you’ve accepted that you’ve fallen short of how well things ought to be going.

The factory is, literally, a mess.

The microbiomes can’t do their jobs effectively…

Which means you wind up sluggish, bloated, in a bad mood and lacking the energy to make the necessary changes… to the detriment of the factory.

Metchnikoff himself said, “Death begins in the colon.” But why?

Simple. Let’s follow the path of your food.

When you eat food, it travels through most of the digestive tract before it encounters the majority of your microbes.

You chew your food, and swallow, and the journey begins.

From the mouth, food goes down your esophagus into your stomach, where it lands in a vat of acid and enzymes.

These enzymes are like a group of cat burglars… they want to take everything valuable and leave in a flash.

In the case of the food you just ate, there aren’t any priceless paintings or rare jewels… hopefully…

They’re precious nutrients your body needs. So the enzymes break the food down and extract them for about three hours, during which a “mechanical churning” process takes place…

After which, the partially digested food is slowly emptied into its next pit stop… the small intestine.

Now, your small intestine has a very misleading name, because it’s actually about 22 feet long and an inch in diameter. It’s piled into the middle of your body like a ball of tangled headphone wires.

And the interior of the small intestine is covered with finger-like projections called ‘villi’...

That absorbs even more nutrients into your bloodstream.

The food travelling through your small intestine is soaked in special enzymes secreted by the pancreas and liver…

In order to help break down and digest it.

The final stop for your food happens in the large intestine, better known as the colon.

This is where your food moves through very slowly. The large intestine is not as long as the small intestine — see what I mean when I said the name was misleading? — as it’s less than 5 feet long on average.

The reason it’s the “large” intestine is because its width is around 4 inches in diameter. And it contains about 10,000 times more bacteria per teaspoon than the small intestine.

And these bacteria are some of your most valuable.

Because as any good boss knows…

It’s hard to find good help… especially to do a job that no one wants.

And really, who would want to break down the last remnants of food and be left to deal with poop?

Well, that’s what these microbes do.

Yes, they digest the food and protect your gut lining and synthesize enzymes…

Yet, your but bacteria does a whole lot more… like metabolizing drugs, maintaining your body’s pH levels, modulating genes, suppressing certain compounds that could lead to serious health concerns…

And, crucially…

Training your immune system to tell the difference between an ally and a foreign invader.

Now, all of this is good information, and hopefully you enjoyed learning a bit about your factory and the dedicated workers that keep it running…

Yet there’s a reason for me telling you all this.

Let’s go back to Elie Metchnikoff, because his story isn’t over.

Metchnikoff’s research and discoveries had led him to be called

Because he was able to see what was happening in that rural Bulgarian village…

And those amazing people who were living to be 90, 100, and beyond…

While still staying healthy, happy and mentally sharp…

And make the connection that no one else had before.

You see, before Metchnikoff, the notion did exist that gut microbiota could promote healthy effects on the human body and prevent a myriad of health issues…

And at the beginning of the 1900s, French biologist Louis Pasteur even identified the microorganisms responsible for the process of fermentation…

However, not until the brilliant Metchnikoff came along did we finally understand the association between consuming those fermented dairy products…

And the unusually long, vibrant lifestyles of those Bulgarian villagers.

Metchnikoff identified that special bacteria we talked about — lactobacillus — and was blown away at how much they could help the human body…

Because these “probios” as he called them, were conducive to the life of the host, as opposed to antibiotics, and could have a positive influence on health and prevent aging. ¹⁴

Of course, now we know these “probios” by a different name…

Probiotics.

Since Metchnikoff, a.k.a. the founder of probiotics, an entire field of inquiry has developed to learn everything we can about positive bacteria and how it can impact the body.

Not just the gut… rather, the entire body.

Remember, this is your “second brain” we’re talking about…

Where 95% of that feel-good hormone serotonin is produced.

And I’m sure you’ve looked everywhere for a solution to your lack of energy…

Your sluggishness that makes you want to sink into the couch and stay there all day…

Your mood swings that make you irritable and unpleasant to be around…

And that bloated gut that you wish you could just chop off so your midsection would finally look like it’s supposed to.

You’ve probably tried a number of diets, which have only offered short-term success that just aren’t sustainable over time.

You may have even tried some remedies to “balance you out”...

But that stuff can make a lot of people uneasy, and I’ve heard from my patients the real concern they have over developing dependency on some pill that turns them into a zombie.

Heck, maybe you’ve thought all those symptoms -- the bad mood, the bloating, the poor memory, the lack of focus, the looking & feeling less desirable…

Maybe they’re all just down to poor attitude, and you can just will yourself into being a healthier, happier, more confident person.

I wish that were the case…

Yet if there’s one thing I hope I’ve made clear in this presentation…

It’s that these are symptoms of problems that are occurring down at the molecular level.

You allow the bad bacteria to infiltrate your complex defense system…

To the point where the good bacteria is completely overrun…

And your body is the victim of a hostile takeover.

Almost like… an insurrection.

So what are you going to do about it?

Because you’re here… you’ve listened this far… you’ve learned how an imbalanced second brain pollutes the rest of the body.

Now that you have that knowledge, though, it’s hard to go back…

Because now, when you look in the mirror and see that stomach bulging out…

You won’t be able to wonder what the problem is… because now you know your gut is infested with toxic sludge.

When your family and friends ask why you’re in such a crabby mood…

You won’t be able to write it off as “just a bad day”...

Because you know your “second brain” is overrun with foreign bacteria and it’s polluted your first one.

And now you can’t go back, because you have this crucial knowledge. It’s true what they say… “Ignorance is bliss.”

So… are you ready for some good news?

I don’t care how old you are…

How much you weigh…

Or if you feel like you’ve “tried everything.”

Because there’s a genetic switchboard in your stomach…

That needs to be turned to FULL POWER.

Once that happens, natural energy comes SURGING back.

Your brain feels stronger. Memory improves. You’re able to focus for long periods of time, just like the old days.

Bathroom breaks no longer become an ordeal… because your system is running like it’s supposed to.

Yes, that means better, healthier poops.

And with that, your gut finally starts to deflate… after so many years of feeling like it’s ready to pop.

Suddenly, you’re not as hunched over as before.

Your shoulders become less rounded and you’re standing a little taller.

That’s not a growth spurt, my friend... that’s CONFIDENCE.

Isn’t it about time you felt that again? That quiet confidence that assured you that you could tackle all of the day’s problems, while keeping a sharp wit and easygoing attitude…

It’s still in there…

We need to hit that switchboard, pronto.

The problem is, there’s too much sludge and junk on the controls… and the levers are stuck!

So then, how do we do it?

By utilizing the knowledge of that genius biologist, Elie Metchnikoff…

Otherwise known as the founder of probiotics.

That’s right… probiotics.

They’re what millions of people trust to clear their bodies of that bad bacteria...

And fill their enteric nervous system with healthy gut flora.

Now, there’s one BIG problem with this logic, which I’ll cover in a moment…

However, the gist is, probiotics are the proven best way to help flip your switchboard back on, so that you reset your entire gastrointestinal tract, and put your body and mind back on the track to success.

Now, you’ve no doubt heard of probiotics before this report…

Heck, you may have even tried them.

And if that’s the case you’re probably thinking…

I’m SO glad you asked…

Because we haven’t even introduced our main character in this story…

The man who broke through all the junk science and marketing BS you’ve gotten from so many other supplement companies…

Spent two full years deep into research…

And discovered the TRUTH about probiotics that those enormous health brands would never want you to discover.

This is the man that’s responsible for me being here today…

Because he was the one who showed me the powerful, life-changing effects a healthy gut can have on a person.

I’m honored to call him a colleague and friend.

His name is John, though he prefers to go by his last name… Kiefer.

Kiefer is a lifelong nutritionist and exercise expert whom you may very well have heard of...

He’s the author of hugely popular books like Carb Backloading and The Carb Nite Solution.

Yes, he literally wrote the book on carbohydrate backloading. So he knows a thing or two about health… and the companies that claim to boost it.

And just a few years back, Kiefer had an experience that shook him to his entire foundation.

For 8 straight nights, he woke up from a dead sleep and found himself hurrying to the bathroom…

Where he would sit on the toilet for long periods of time. It was frustrating. It was painful. And he’s not afraid to admit it… it was scary…

Because he literally thought he was going to die.

During this time, he couldn’t eat. He couldn’t even drink. His diet consisted of nervous and careful sips of water… which inevitably led to him sprinting off to the bathroom again.

At first, he thought he had contracted some unknown pathogen that was wreaking havoc on his digestive system…

But 8 days? This was something sinister.

Fortunately, his doctor put him on a strict regimen of antibiotics and a steady drip of various IVs…

And he was able to fully recover.

From that torment, Kiefer decided to use his expertise in health and nutrition, and dig into some research…

Because he never wanted ANYONE to go through what he had just endured.

The pain. The fear. The humiliation.

His research became an obsession, and it led him into the twisted, confusing world of probiotics…

The supposed “savior” of gut health.

He started reading the facts about the formulas used by giant supplement brands and nutrition conglomerates.

And what he found not only shocked him…

It made him angry.

Why is that?

After all, probiotics CAN be very beneficial for you!

You know this already, because of what Elie Metchnikoff was able to learn about those 100-year-old Bulgarian villagers all those years ago…

And how a certain bacteria in the fermented milk they drank kept them healthy, alert, and mentally sharp.

In fact, subsequent studies have even further demonstrated the power of certain good bacteria.

A recent study from the Leiden Institute of Brain and Cognition in the Netherlands examined 40 healthy, young adults who had no history of mood disorders whatsoever.

The subjects were split into two groups — one of which received a probiotic supplement containing 8 different “healthy” bacteria, and the other received a placebo, which they believed was also a probiotic.

The half that received the probiotic reported better overall moods, and were less sensitive to potential negative situations. ¹⁵

This further suggests that bacteria can govern how you feel every day.

Yes, environment and attitude matter…

And as surprising as that is, gut health has an indisputable impact on your brain, because not only do your gut microbes help digest and assimilate nutrients…

They also determine the availability of essential building blocks for serotonin, that feel-good hormone that is produced mostly in the gut.

In fact, a specific species of bacteria in your microbiome increases your levels of tryptophan…

Now, if you’ve heard of tryptophan, it’s probably got something to do with Thanksgiving, how much of it is in turkey, and how it makes you sleepy.

That’s partially true, but we won’t get into that…

What IS important, though, is that tryptophan is just as essential to your overall happiness as serotonin. Because tryptophan gets converted directly into serotonin…

Which means less tryptophan means less serotonin…

Which means it’s a really good idea to have that specific bacteria species to help you produce it!

Perhaps the most stunning research on the link between the gut and the brain, though, comes from a joint research project between the University of Cork in Ireland…

And McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.

The project involved dropping mice into a tall, cylindrical chamber filled with water…

And timing them to see how long it would take before they reached a state of “immobilized despair.”

A small section of the mice were fed a special broth…

Infused with a bacteria called Lactobacillus rhamnosus… which is used to ferment milk into probiotic yogurt…

This bacteria is known to release an inhibitory transmitter called GABA.

Well, wouldn’t you know it, the mice that were fed this special broth were able to swim longer and spent less time in the immobilized state of despair.

For years, scientists thought the brain was an almost isolated organ…

Because of something called the “blood-brain barrier.”

This is the safeguard in your body that allows nutrients into the brain, but protects from pathogens and foreign invaders.

Now we know, the gut and the brain are in non-stop communication…

Because one cannot do its job without the other.

This is something that Kiefer knew too…

Which is why he was so interested in learning more about probiotics.

And what he found… what made him SO angry…

Is that big supplement companies were taking advantage of the public’s lack of information regarding probiotics.

They’re counting on you to be ignorant of the subject…

Which is why those big companies take such a generic approach to probiotics.

Go ahead and look at the label of any probiotic you find on the shelves of a nutrition shop or health store…

Do you see a carefully curated, well-reasoned selection of healthy bacteria?

NO!

What you see is just about every single commercially available bacteria they could cram into one formula.

That’s just not a smart or responsible approach…

Because the conditions we’ve talked about…

Aren’t simply due to a lack of good bacteria…

Rather, it’s an imbalance between certain types of bacteria.

And yet, this incredibly lazy strategy is used by just about every supplement brand out there.

Are you familiar with the “spaghetti method”?

It’s where you throw a bunch of spaghetti against a wall and just wait for one noodle to stick.

It’s not a particularly thoughtful way to find the best solution… yet that’s what supplement companies are doing to you.

They’re skirting the hard work in order to sell you generic crap.

I hope that makes you as angry as it makes me.

Because these generic probiotics may initially provide relief for some of these issues we’ve been talking about…

Yet the results are usually lackluster, and almost never last long.

That’s why most supplements have reviews that say things like…

“Stopped working after a month.”

“I thought [PRODUCT] was great at first, but now it doesn’t seem to be doing much.”

That’s not a design flaw. It’s a feature.

You see, it’s really not that easy to create an effective probiotic.

Grouping together individual species or strains of bacteria is one thing…

Ensuring their efficacy is quite another.

That’s because, while most of the time we think “bacteria is bacteria”...

The truth is, bacteria can be as different from one another as humans are from grasshoppers.

Which means simply taking a generic concoction of probiotics probably won’t do you much good… and certainly not for long.

Without targeted strains, probiotics are unlikely to do much to remedy your bloated gut, failing memory, sour mood, or compromised immune system.

Worse yet, they can even negatively alter specific populations of good bacteria.

Clinical studies have shown supplemented probiotics can even be detrimental to your health.

Take the popular probiotic Bacillus subtilis bacteremia and cholangitis…

If you’ve tried a probiotic before, these two are probably in there.

Well, while big supplement brands have touted these as having beneficial qualities…

Studies show they’ve been shown to increase the possibility of sepsis. ¹⁶

The reason is, if your microbiota is already compromised, then using ‘good’ bacteria from probiotics can actually hurt many metabolic activities…

Including complex carbohydrate digestion, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis…

All of which are critical for healthy weight management.

That’s why the spaghetti method just doesn’t work…

And these mass producers of probiotics know it… Oh they certainly know it... they just don’t care.

Yet if you take a haphazard approach to correcting your body’s microbiome…

If you use some generic, cobbled-together batch of probiotics…

Well, it’s like trying to kill an alligator with a needle.

I know you want to look and feel more vibrant…

I understand the frustration you feel when you can barely get through the day…

When you look in the mirror and see an unattractive, bloated gut…

When your mind no longer feels sharp and clear… but clouded, slow and unfocused…

But the fact is, poor gut bacteria is likely not only slowing down your progress…

It’s completely stifling it.

Which means that genetic switchboard in your stomach continues to sit there, stuck in the mud.

We need to fix that.

As well as alleviate the stress of your enteric nervous system.

From there, it becomes a domino effect in your body.

Once your gut health is optimized…

You’ll find you can process food much easier…

You’ll be able to leap out of bed each morning with a surge of fresh energy that will carry you through the day…

And your mind will feel lighting-fast and laser-focused.

So suddenly, you can recall important names and dates in a flash…

The stress from work suddenly becomes much easier to tackle, so that you’re able to get your tasks done in record time…

And enjoy a better work-life balance.

Best of all, you’re going to look and feel like YOU.

Not the you that has been floating along for these last years…

Rather, the younger, happier, more vibrant and CONFIDENT you…

That’s who we’re fighting to get back.

Let’s replace that sludge in your belly…

With that FIRE that used to define you.

Not to mention… you’ll experience faster reflexes, quicker recovery following workouts, and a boost in overall strength.

See, these mass-produced probiotics from giant health brands just aren’t going to cut it for you.

Sure, they may work for a few weeks… maybe a month…

Yet eventually… it will slow to a crawl… and then halt…

And you’ll be right back where you started.

And remember, any success you see is really more luck than science.

Which is why you can take all the probiotics you want and it still won’t fix your digestive issues, bloated gut, issues with focus and concentration, failing memory, complete lack of energy…

And whatever else you’re suffering from.

You’re too smart to fall for this.

Which brings me to another probiotic problem you probably don’t know about…

Even if you were able to find a brand that used health-positive strains that wouldn’t disrupt your microbiome…

By the time you get those bacteria into your system…

They’ll likely be dead.

That’s because major supplement companies produce these probiotics in LARGE quantities…

Which means once they are manufactured, they have to be packaged, shipped from their fulfillment center…

Processed in a distribution center…

Then shipped out again to a specific store…

THEN those probiotics sit in the back until the old stock runs out on the shelves…

Until, FINALLY, they hit the sales floor. Where they wait for who-knows-how-long until you buy them, bring them home, and actually take them.

Usually, the process I just described takes about two months.

And by the time you ingest those supposedly “positive” probiotics, any small benefit you would have experienced is completely dried up…

Because dead probiotics just don’t work.

Which brings me back to Kiefer, who discovered all of this first-hand in his research.

Remember what I said about probiotics being the solution millions of people trust to clear their bodies of that bad bacteria...

And fill their enteric nervous system with healthy gut flora…

And how there was one major flaw with this logic?

Well here it is…

You see, Kiefer found that to truly tackle ENSD, you need a targeted approach…

And so the same man who revolutionized the American nutrition model with carb back-loading started a new mission…

To help you finally get your gut under control…

So that you can get your LIFE back under control.

No more unpredictable mood swings…. No more being stuck with a body that feels like it needs to deflate… No more brain that works like a smartphone quickly running out of battery…

No more less confident, less all-around-healthy YOU.

So Kiefer created his revolutionary

Gut IQ is the one formula I’ve found that can help you achieve this…

Regardless of how “hopeless” you feel…

Or how long you’ve let the wheels fall off.

I’m about to reveal how you can get your very own supply of Gut IQ…

First, though, you need to know…

Kiefer’s journey to bring you Gut IQ actually took two years…

Because creating this unique solution based on the latest scientific research is no easy feat.

The reason is, there’s often a lag time of 2–3 years before the same ingredients used in studies are available from reputable sources to replicate the results found in the studies.

So Kiefer wanted to make sure he could personally source every single bacterial strain and every enzyme needed to formulate his vision.

He told me it was in these times he thought back to that nightmare he had to endure… 8 days of his body rebelling against him… like a mutiny of his own digestive system.

That’s what motivated him to do this thing right. No shortcuts. No shady suppliers. Everything above water, ethical and worthy of his already sterling reputation in the health field.

So he pored over the research in an effort to uncover the exact enzymes, bacteria strains, and prebiotics that would strengthen the immune system, lower inflammation reactions, protect against food sensitivities and activate “lean genes.”

And simply put, when you supplement with Gut IQ, you’re doing more good for your health than taking a multivitamin.

Research shows there are at least 170 common health concerns — including being overweight — that are interrelated with gut health.

You need an ally… a badass “inside man” that can drop in and destroy unwanted invaders like an unstoppable SEAL team…

Gut IQ is that ally for you.

You’ll see the difference it makes… in your midsection, in your attitude… and yes, in your toilet.

Remember, simply taking a probiotic isn’t going to be enough…

Most of the time, they’re not putting any thought into their formula. And their mass-production model ensures you’re only going to get your hands on their products after they’ve been sitting around for months.

Gut IQ is different.

Remember Elie Metchnikoff? And the breakthrough he discovered in that small village of Bulgaria?

Those citizens were living to 100 and beyond without many of the physical and mental issues that plague much younger people today…

And he found a very special strain of bacteria in that special fermented milk that kept them healthy and sharp…

Lactobacillus.

And so Kiefer decided that would be the foundation upon which his life-changing formula was based.

Here’s what you’ll find inside Gut IQ:

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus

This bacteria is crucial because without it, the rest of the probiotics won’t survive the digestion process, making it useless.

These probiotic strains actually remain unaltered in the acidic environment of the stomach, so think of L. Rhamnosus as the bulletproof vest that gets the probiotic where it needs to go — the large intestine.

And once it’s in the large intestine, the significant benefits of L. Rhamnosus begin to blossom.

Studies have demonstrated L. Rhamnosus has been shown to help both mood health and hormone modulation. ^{18 19}

And its also been shown to counteract weight gain, positively affect blood sugar metabolism, and reduce gastrointestinal issues. ²⁰

So if you’ve been frustrated by other probiotics’ lack of positive effects throughout your body, this is probably one of the reasons…

Other strains just can’t do what L. Rhamnosus can.

Lactobacillus Helveticus

The second strain of Lactobacillus, L. Helveticus, can do something that L. Rhamnosus cannot…

Which is, help prevent occasional gastrointestinal disturbances, enhance immunity, and even positively affect the composition of the intestinal microbiota… ²¹

In other words, more good bacteria!

Interventional studies and clinical trials have also demonstrated a number of health-positive properties of L. Helveticus.

In fact, several studies suggest that the specific enzymatic activities of L. Helveticus could benefit metabolism…

By enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients, removing allergens and other undesired molecules from food…

And producing bioactive peptides through the digestion of food proteins.

A recent study found that L. helveticus and another bacterial strain, when taken over a 30-day period were able to decrease anxiety and support better mood…

As well as help improve mood in moderately stressed subjects. ²²

That other bacterial strain is another key component of Gut IQ…

Bifidobacterium Longum

B. Longum has long been described as one of the most important and significant types of “good” bacteria that inhabits the human body.

That’s because B. Longum helps you maintain a normal digestive tract, balances the growth of unfriendly bacteria, and also boosts your immune system. 23

And that’s not all…

Other benefits of B. Longum include bowel regulation, blood lipid support, alleviation of lactose intolerance symptoms, immune stimulation, and more.

Now, these are the best probiotics you could ever hope to find, no doubt about that…

Yet there’s something in the Gut IQ approach that makes them even MORE effective…

Another critical step that is neglected by other supplement brands…

And that is the careful implementation of prebiotics.

Prebiotics are what feed the probiotics so that they can go to work and optimize your digestive system, clear out the junk and give your whole body and mind that fresh, rejuvenated feeling.

Kiefer found that the most effective ingredient for a prebiotic blend is called galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS).

GOS has been shown to alleviate occasional constipation in adults. Multiple double-blind studies have shown that introducing GOS into the digestive system resulted in more frequent, healthier bowel movements. 24

When you combine the amazing, unique powers of those specific strains of bacteria…

With the Protease Component we discussed earlier…

It’s no wonder this has been touted as

“So how can I get my hands on Gut IQ and try it for myself?”

Great question. Because as I’ve said, this is about the best thing you could be taking to reset your GI tract, and enjoy that natural high that comes from cleansing your body of the disgusting toxins that have been squatting there for years.

To be honest, it’s actually pretty tough for the general public to get Gut IQ.

Like I said, Kiefer was VERY specific on which strains he used in his solution…

As he wanted to make sure they not only worked in the gut, but worked for the whole body, in order to improve your health completely.

And because these specific strains were the ones that had been validated in multiple scientific studies, he had to wait 2 years for them to be available to source from reputable sellers.

Not to mention, the ultra-effective enzymes he utilized for his unique “Protease Component” that breaks down those unwanted irritants in the gastrointestinal tract were also very difficult to come by…

And getting the formulation for both the prebiotic and probiotic was extremely difficult… as the ingredients needed to be cultivated in a sterile, state-of-the-art facility…

Then kept fresh through a proprietary process…

So that, unlike the junk you pull off the shelves of some nutrition shop, this blend is still viable by the time it gets to you.

Again, most manufacturers either don’t have the know-how to do this properly…

Don’t want to allocate the time and money to get it right…

Or just don’t care to.

Additionally, because Gut IQ helps fight against the symptoms of Enteric Nervous System Disorder so well, pretty much everyone who tries it once keeps on asking for more of the stuff…

Because they never want to wake up feeling that complete lack of energy…

Nor do they want to feel like an over-inflated tire…

While their self-esteem needs to be scooped up off the floor…

Especially when they’ve seen how much their lives have changed when they’ve got healthy bacteria fighting the good fight on their behalf and making their “second brain” stronger than it has been in years.

And as word continues to spread, Gut IQ is becoming extremely popular in Europe and Canada, which has much stricter standards on what is allowed in a probiotic solution.

This cross-continental demand is putting an even larger strain on production… Especially since it takes up to 4 months to custom-create each batch.

As a result, Kiefer has found it difficult to keep up with the growing number of people who love what Gut IQ has done for them and want more…

Which is why it keeps selling out, and he frequently doesn’t have any Gut IQ available for folks.

But that being said,

Neither he nor I like the idea of you not feeling like you have the body and mind you need to take on the world, and all of its craziness.

We want you to enjoy a fully rejuvenated “second brain” because the domino effect will be felt throughout your entire body… all the way up to your “first brain.”

That’s why we partnered together and combined resources in order to chip away at the growing demand for Gut IQ.

Bold statement? Sure. And we stand by it.

When you hear the stories we’ve heard… how someone was able to go from feeling like an old, beat down car stuck in the mud…

To a roaring, 1969 Camaro flying down the California coastline…

You understand why we’re so passionate.

In fact, let’s take a look at just a few of those stories…

These are real people who trusted this solution and now have significantly improved their gut health, their energy, and their lives…

And not long after you start using it, when your friends see you, they’re going to ask when you got a personal trainer… or if you’ve made some dramatic change in your diet… or if you’ve started yoga…

Whatever it is, they just can’t put their finger on it… but you look so GOOD…

That they’ll be begging to know your secret.

It’s not a new workout. It’s not starving yourself. It’s not a dangerous diet pill.

It’s the complete hacking of your enteric nervous system and the rebooting of your gut…

And a brand-new, completely revamped life for you…

That’s why in the next few moments, I’ll share how you can get your very own supply of Gut IQ…

As part of our brand-new “Gut-Saving Initiative.”

OK… The next question you have is probably, “How much Gut IQ do I need to take?”

The dosage for Gut IQ is 3 prebiotics and 3 probiotics pills per day.

Now, you can work this out two ways:

You can either take all 6 at once, or you can break them up and take one of each during your 3 daily meals.

Most people have no issue with taking all 6 at once; however, if that’s too much for you, by all means, break it up throughout the day.

1 prebiotic and 1 probiotic with each meal.

You can take them on an empty stomach, but we suggest taking them with food.

Or, you can take them with your morning coffee — a very popular solution for many. Personally, that’s how my wife and I take them.

However, one thing I must impress upon you is...

The reason it’s important for you to use Gut IQ for at least 4 months is pretty straightforward…

We’ve found that the average person has so much toxic sludge and persistent Enteric Nervous System Disorder, it usually takes AT LEAST 3–4 months for the cleansing to really start to show.

And we’ve found that clients who see the most significant turnaround in their gut health — which resonates throughout the rest of their body and mind -- are the ones who are consistently fueling their enteric nervous system with these super-effective pre and probiotics.

And the clinical studies we referenced suggest continued, month-over-month use of the hand-selected bacterial strains Kiefer used in his revolutionary formula…

And our clients who report the greatest increases in energy, mood and focus, as well as healthy digestion, less bloating and healthy weight management... are the ones who make a commitment to themselves to try Gut IQ for 4 months.

Remember, this IS a process…

And you need to stick with it. Because with Gut IQ, you’re basically power-washing your insides.

Otherwise, it’s kind of like trying to lose 100 pounds by going on a jog once.

I want you to be a part of our Gut Saving Initiative so that you look and feel the way you KNOW you should…

No longer bloated, constantly irritated, susceptible to imbalanced bacteria…

But slimmer, more mentally sharp, happier and with a body that is finally working FOR you, not against you.

Listen, the fact that you’ve stuck with me this far means you’re serious about addressing your gut health issues, and I commend you for that.

That also tells me… you’re not looking to get better gut health for one month… or two months… or three months...

You’re ready to make lasting changes that will benefit your quality of life permanently.

The science is clear: the longer you stick with Gut IQ, the more your health will improve.

Plus, because this formula has been shown to not only build up good bacteria in your gut, but feed that bacteria the essential nutrients they need to thrive…

AND break down nasty irritants in the gastrointestinal tract…

It makes sense for you to make Gut IQ an essential part of your daily routine forever…

That way, you’re always protected against the constant invasion of harmful toxins and bad bacteria that compromise your microbiota and slow the essential tasks of your gut to a grinding halt.

This is why I strongly recommend you choose our 4-month supply of Gut IQ…

That way, you know you’re covered in the event of a production shortage…

Which I have to remind you, DOES occasionally happen due to our small-batch policy and limited amount we can order at a time.

Customers who choose our 4-month supply are not only the first to hear about exclusive offers and discounts we have that no one else can get…

They are always granted first priority for Gut IQ…

Since they are the ones who take their gut health the most seriously.

And because loading up on Gut IQ today helps protect you from future out-of-stocks…

It’s also important to know that Gut IQ is only available here on this website…

And only while supplies last.

Again, we don’t want to be like every other cookie-cutter probiotics solution… because we’re not.

So we’re not going to let logistics and distribution complications neutralize the amazing benefits of “the most significant innovation seen in gut health in decades.”

Look, I’ll be honest.

Our advisors have told Kiefer and me very matter-of-factly…

That due to the rarity of the ingredients, and how difficult they are to attain from trusted sources…

And the proven effectiveness of this one-of-a-kind formula…

We should be charging at least $249 per 30-day supply.

And after looking closely at the numbers, it appears they’re right.

So once our current inventory is claimed, the price unfortunately has to go up. These premium ingredients are difficult to get our hands on.

The good news is, until the last bottle of our current Gut IQ inventory is claimed, we’re prepared to do something very special.

You see, for Kiefer and me, this isn’t about making money.

He’s a national best-selling author, and a nutritional and fitness expert who is paid very handsomely to consult with the best minds in health…

And I’ve been blessed to have a long and successful career as a doctor and NASA scientist…

With my own private practice in Scottsdale, Arizona.

So it’s not about money… and we want to hold off on the $249 price point for as long as we possibly can, so that we can get it into the hands of everyone who is ready to make a firm commitment to their health.

We actually have a goal — call it a lofty one — to help 5 million people save their digestive systems and correct the imbalances that have lingered inside them for years…

So that their bodies, their brains and their lives can get back on track.

It’s become our obsession… and you’re the beneficiary of it.

Which is why we realized we needed to make Gut IQ more affordable for as long as our current stock lasts.

Because the more affordable it is…

The more likely we are to hit that 5-million-person mark.

Ultimately, though, it leads to extreme daily discomfort, fatigue, weight gain, sour mood, and creates a continual downward health spiral.

80% of your immune system is tied to your microbiome. And leaving these imbalances unresolved can lead to recurring challenges.

I’m sure you can relate to the feeling of being run down and having to pass up life’s joys because you just don’t feel up to it.
