  • Why You Should NOT Mix Probiotics With Other Ingredients

    Why You Should NOT Mix Probiotics With Other Ingredients
    Jan 20 2026
    The Hidden Problems With Probiotic Blends In this podcast episode, a practitioner friend of mine asked about a probiotic formula containing soil organisms. She wanted to know if those spores were safe. Many well-meaning people in the alternative health space are recommending these products without realizing the risks. I discussed this with Natasha Trenev, the founder of Natren probiotics with a 750-year family lineage in culturing probiotics (supplied to Royal families across Europe) and her Probiotic Standards were read into Congressional Record in the USA. Natasha explains that soil organisms like Bacillus coagulans produce toxic substances to eliminate competition, which can harm human cells. Here’s the ingredient list of the product my friend was asking about: Now, for those of you who’ve read my books… WHAT are the problems with this ingredient list? Perhaps the first thing you recognize is that it contains a bacterial soil organism – which you know is not safe for human consumption, especially not for immune-compromised people. They have also mixed the safe, recognized probiotic species together with the soil organism and 8 powerful medicinal mushrooms. And the entire blend is at room temperature – all together in one capsule, or one powder sachet. Rather than spend pages writing about the problems with this – and most! – probiotic products, I hopped on a zoom with Natasha to explain clearly and quickly WHY these practices are not beneficial for humans. The short answer is no. Mixing probiotics with other substances almost always destroys their effectiveness. You can watch our video: Or listen to the podcast: What We Covered in This Episode Here are the main points Natasha and I discussed: Why mixing probiotics with mushroom extracts kills the beneficial bacteria.How different probiotic strains attack each other when placed in the same capsule.Why soil organisms like Bacillus coagulans outcompete traditional (food-cultured) probiotics.Why prebiotics such as inulin or FOS can feed the wrong bacteria.The importance of including the culturing medium with probiotic bacteria.How true formulation requires deep expertise, not random combinations. We already did a video on why bacterial soil organisms (like Bacillus coagulans, Sporogenes, Lichenoformis – found in the feathers of ground-dwelling birds, aquatic species and the soil) are NOT probiotics. But we also give some more information on WHY they are not safe for humans, and some possible consequences of the spores forming in the gut (latent infection, etc). Probiotics and Mushrooms Do Not Belong Together The formula we reviewed combined eight mushroom extracts with three probiotics: Bacillus coagulans (a soil organism)Bifidobacterium bifidumLactobacillus acidophilus On the label, this looks impressive. In reality, the beneficial probiotic species cannot survive. Mushrooms often contain compounds that kill lactobacilli. And when bifidobacteria and acidophilus are mixed with an aggressive soil organism, they die off. Consumers are left swallowing mostly dead bacteria. Money wasted. Probiotics Compete With Each Other Even when only food-based probiotics are mixed, the problem remains. If acidophilus and bifidobacteria are allowed to touch, their primal directive takes over: survival and domination. They release substances to kill one another. One may dominate, but the rest die off. This means that by the time you swallow the capsule, you no longer have the balanced formula you thought you purchased. This is why Natasha created the Healthy Trinity capsule. Each species is placed in its own oil bubble, so each species cannot touch each other, or compete for dominance. Prebiotics: Feeding the Wrong Gut Residents Another common mistake is mixing probiotics with prebiotics like inulin or FOS. These are indigestible sugars. They feed bacteria in the gut, but not selectively. If your microbiome is unbalanced, prebiotics can just as easily feed yeast or harmful bacteria as the good ones. For people with gut disease, this often makes symptoms worse. The Role of the Culturing Medium A true probiotic is delivered with its culturing medium — the food it was grown on. This medium contains natural antimicrobials, peptides, amino acids, and vitamins. These compounds support both the beneficial bacteria and the human host. Removing the culturing medium or mixing bacteria with unrelated ingredients strips away these benefits. Final Thoughts Too many companies are creating probiotic formulas without the necessary knowledge of microbiology or immunology. They throw ingredients together, assuming that more is better. But probiotics are living organisms with their own survival instincts and their own agenda to thrive. Unless handled with expertise, they will kill each other, die in the capsule, or cause unintended harm. If you want real benefits, probiotics should never be mixed together with mushrooms, prebiotics, or even with each other unless they are...

  • How to Heal IBS and SIBO Naturally with Natren’s Probiotics

    How to Heal IBS and SIBO Naturally with Natren’s Probiotics
    Dec 24 2025
    Probiotic Protocols to Heal IBS and SIBO Naturally Introduction As many of my readers know, I have stayed drug free and surgery free from widespread Crohn’s disease for over 25 years. In this series, I interview my long‑time colleague, Natasha Trenev. She is the founder and owner of Natren Probiotics. Many people call her the mother of probiotics. She had probiotic standards read into the U.S. Congressional Record. If our industry followed those standards, probiotic supplements would be far better today. I asked Natasha to join me for a series of deep‑dive calls. I want to bring her knowledge into the mainstream. She has worked in this field for 60 years. She is 77 and still working because she sees so many chronically ill adults and children. We both care deeply. We also use critical thinking. We test ideas. We keep what works. We discard what does not. This blog is based on my in-depth interview with Natasha Trenev, the Mother of Probiotics. You can watch the complete episode in this video: Or you can listen to the podcast: In this post, I share what we discussed about irritable bowel syndrome and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I also share the exact protocol I use, with probiotic species and herbal antimicrobials. IBS and SIBO: What They Are and Why They Matter What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional gastrointestinal disorder. Doctors use this term when the digestive tract looks normal on tests. Yet symptoms persist. IBS symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, or a mix. These symptoms affect quality of life. Work, school, travel, and relationships suffer. IBS does not always get labeled as inflammatory. But inflammation often plays a role. The gut microbiota becomes imbalanced. Gut motility slows or speeds up. The immune system overreacts or underreacts. Food breaks down into particle sizes that feed bad bacteria. The result is discomfort and distress. What is Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth means too many bacteria live in the small intestine. Bacteria should be dense in the large intestine. The small intestine should hold fewer microbes. In SIBO, fermentation happens too early. This triggers gas, distention, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. Nutrient absorption suffers. Fatty acids may not get absorbed well. Fat‑soluble vitamins can drop. Many people labeled with IBS also have SIBO. Breath tests try to detect it. These tests can help. They can also miss cases. Clinical trials use them with a placebo group to measure change, but real life is messier. Root causes and risk factors Root causes differ by person. Common risk factors include low stomach acid, chronic stress, past antibiotic therapy, use of proton pump inhibitors, slowed gut motility, food poisoning, and abdominal surgery. Leaky gut, also called increased intestinal permeability, can add to the load. The gut microbiome shifts. The immune response becomes confused. I aim my protocol at these causes. Why I Trust Natasha Trenev’s Perspective Natasha’s standards focus on strain specificity, potency through expiry, and proper delivery. She warns against vague labels like “probiotic blend.” She rejects soil‑based probiotics for most people with IBS or SIBO. She focuses on traditional probiotics with documented safety and clear strain IDs. She has watched the industry change. She has also seen misinformation explode. She and I agree. A colon cleanse is not what most IBS patients need. A careful, staged plan is needed instead. Natasha also reminds us that the intestinal lining is only one cell thick. Those cells turn over every three to five days. Attached bacteria shed with those cells. So regular intake of live microorganisms is needed. This is why daily probiotic supplementation matters. How IBS Feels Day to Day IBS with diarrhea can rule a person’s life. Natasha shared how many people plan routes by bathrooms. The urge hits fast. Accidents happen. Fear grows. IBS with constipation is also miserable. Gas builds. Pain increases. The digestive tract feels stuck. Either pattern hurts. Pain often comes from trapped gas and nerve irritation. When food does not fully digest, the wrong bacteria feast on it. They make excess gas. Neurons in the gut wall get irritated. Abdominal pain follows. Post‑meal discomfort can appear minutes after eating. My Core Philosophy: Reduce, Rebuild, Repeat I recommend a simple cycle. Reduce harmful microbes. Rebuild beneficial bacteria. Repeat as needed. I learned this the hard way with my own gut. I then tested it with hundreds of readers. Step 1. Reduce pathogens during the day In my protocol, I use a powerful herbal antimicrobial approach. Wild oregano oil works well for many people. It is taken up to five times per day during a defined “kill phase.” This is not used forever, but in pulses. Some people also rotate in other herbal antimicrobials such as olive leaf ...

  • Imix Natural Supplements for Crohn’s, Colitis, IBD & Gut Healing

    Imix Natural Supplements for Crohn’s, Colitis, IBD & Gut Healing
    Dec 9 2025
    How Imix Supplements Support Gut Healing and Immune Health My Journey with Digestive Disease When I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, I was swamped with fear and confusion. Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis are both forms of inflammatory bowel disease. They involve an attack the digestive tract, and cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bleeding. My doctors suggested surgery and steroids. But I refused. I wanted a different path. I wanted to support my body’s ability to heal without harsh interventions. A massive colonic hemorrhage pushed me to create my first formula. I had ten mercury fillings removed at once. Without any detox support, my body was poisoned and went into crisis. My weight dropped to 99 pounds. My albumin levels collapsed. I could not walk. The medical system had no answers. My choice was surgery, steroids, or finding another way. I chose to heal. You can watch the video to hear more about how I healed from Crohn’s disease, and what led me to formulate these powerful healing tools: Or you can listen to the podcast: About This Episode Everything you ever wanted to know about how and why I formulated each of my powerful healing formulas for Imix Nutrition Inc. Learn how all of these products arose from my own healing journey – things I needed, which did not exist at the time. This video/podcast was a training session I held for doctors and health practitioners. They wanted to learn how they can best use products like Absorb Plus, QuikPlus Minerals, MultiAbsorb, and MucosaCalm to help their patients heal. What we cover: Introduction and Jini’s healing journeyWhy the digestive tract and immune system need gentle careThe elemental diet and the creation of Absorb PlusDifferent versions of Absorb Plus explainedSuccess stories with elemental diet and Crohn’s patientsMultiAbsorb~Daily Essentials for complete nutrientsQuikPlus Minerals: magnesium, iron, silica, trace minerals, bone supportColon support formulas for constipation and diarrheaHealing the mucosal lining with herbs and nutrientsThe role of diet in long-term remissionWorking with healthcare providers and blood testsFrom survival to thriving: living medication-freeFinal thoughts and encouragement to Listen to Your Gut Why the Digestive Tract Needs Gentle Care The digestive tract is not only where food is broken down. It is a key part of the immune system. Chronic inflammation in the small intestine and large intestine can weaken the entire body. Nutrient deficiencies often follow. Red blood cells may become low due to iron deficiency or folate deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is common. Fatty acids and other essential vitamins become depleted. Blood tests can show these imbalances, but often they are not addressed. Traditional treatments focus on suppressing symptoms. But side effects can be severe. Long-term drug usage creates new health risks. That is why alternative medicine and dietary supplements can play such an important role. Supporting the immune response and the body’s natural healing mechanisms can be safer for many Crohn’s patients. The Elemental Diet and Absorb Plus When I was at my weakest, I created Absorb Plus. This elemental shake became my lifeline. For six weeks, I drank nine shakes a day. I gained weight, restored my strength, and healed my gut lining. Within 7 weeks, I rode my bike to the gym, where I worked out. All Crohn’s symptoms went into remission. Absorb Plus works like a liquid diet. It contains pre-digested nutrients that the digestive system can absorb without stress. It is like breast milk for adults. There are several versions: Whey isolate formula – Casein-free and lactose-free. Gentle for those with dairy product sensitivity.Simply version – Uses natural fructose instead of refined sugars.Vegan version – Made with sprouted organic rice protein isolate.Amino version – Based only on free-form amino acids. Most hypoallergenic version, but not suitable for weight gain. Absorb Plus has helped many ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s patients avoid feeding tubes and parenteral nutrition. Clinical studies on elemental diets show positive effects on disease activity. Side effects are minimal compared to steroids. The health benefits include weight gain, symptom relief, and reduced intestinal inflammation. MultiAbsorb for Daily Nutrients When I healed, I wanted to thrive. I grew tired of opening 20 supplement bottles every morning. So I created MultiAbsorb. It combines essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in one scoop. No fillers. No flow agents. No chemicals. MultiAbsorb Daily Essential provides folic acid, Vitamin B, Vitamin D, and other key nutrients in balanced amounts. MultiAbsorb Immune Booster adds supergreens, bioflavonoids, and antioxidants. Clinical trials confirm the importance of these compounds for immune function. Blood tests can track deficiencies and guide dosage. Nutritional supplements like MultiAbsorb help prevent long-term nutrient ...
