3 Fast Facts About Synbiotic 365:
- It’s a probiotic that was created by Dr. Vincent Pedre
- It’s not available on Amazon, so don’t bother looking.
- It DOES work but NOT for everyone.
Now with that out of the way…
What Do You Want To Know About Synbiotic 365?
Like a lot of people, I get my news from Yahoo.
The other day I was scrolling through the 400 stories about Trump when I came across this ad…
I’ve never been a big fan of vegetables to begin with, but it sparked my curiosity.
I clicked on the ad and it took me to a video sales page that looked something like this…
Yup, it’s a sales video for a product called Synbiotic 365.
Now, I hate these things for a few reasons.
- I’d rather just read an article about something, rather than watch a video on the topic.
- Usually videos like this are long-winded and “salesy.”
- All-too-often they’re click-bait and a HUGE waste of time.
However, I decided in the interest of my visitors that I would sit through the whole thing.
Here’s what I found…
Gut health.
It’s a BIG problem in today’s society.
And a fella by the name of Dr. Vincent Pedre narrates the epidemic.
You see, turns out a lot of problems start in our gut.
Our “gut flora” plays a key role in keeping us healthy.
In this “internal garden,” we have good bacteria and bad bacteria.
Dr. Pedre says “When the bad bacteria takes over, your gut becomes a war zone.”
This doctor, who claims to be New York’s leading gut health authority, blasts certain vegetables (one in particular) for wreaking havoc on our bodies.
He says “odds are you’ve eaten this in the last 5 days.” And of course, the discovery will upset us, as it’s nothing short of “shocking.” This dramatic build-up goes on for 25 minutes before he actually shares this forbidden vegetable.
Which is…
Corn.
Yup, corn.
Looks tasty to me.
But because corn is doused with endless pesticides, Dr. Pedre says it’s become a “gut disruptor.” And the solution?
Synbiotic 365.
Eating foods doused in pesticides can cause everything from nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, to abdominal pain and dizziness.
Before we dive deeper into Synbiotic 365, let’s talk more about probiotics and their importance to our health.
RELATED:BioX4 Reviews By Nucific – Is It Worth $1000 A Year?
1. What are Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics?
Alright, let’s break this down real quick.Here’s what you need to know…
- According to WebMD, Probiotics are“live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially your digestive system.” Probiotics are often found naturally in foods (like yogurt) and we can safely take them as supplements.Source
- Prebiotics are typically high-fiber foods that are taken to “feed” the probiotics, and they help to maintain the balance of gut bacteria. Source
- And finally, Synbiotics are foods or supplements that combine both probiotics and prebiotics in a sort of “synergism.” These are taken to “selectively stimulate the growth and by activating the metabolism of one or a limited number of health-promoting bacteria, thus improving host welfare.” Source
All together, these “biotics” promote overall integrative health.
Boom!
That’s your crash course in Pro- Pre- and Synbiotics.
2. What is Synbiotic 365?
Synbiotic 365 was created by the company United Naturals to help restore gut health.
The sales video and advertisement link to the company’s website, but there really isn’t much information about the product listed on the site.
Here’s what it does say…
Of course, poor gut-health can leave us suffering with a host of symptoms.
But the Synbiotic 365 video really hones in on one symptom in particular: obesity caused by overeating.
It’s the pain-point of SO many Americans.
It’s true… if you can speak to our weight-gain, and convince us you have the solution, then you’re pretty much guaranteed to get rich.
So naturally, Synbiotic 365 really focuses on the weight-loss benefits of their product. But does it really work?
And if so, how?
To answer that, let’s have a look at the ingredient profile.
3. What are the ingredients in Synbiotic 365?
Synbiotic 365 is loaded with vitamins, which is never a bad thing.
But if you wanted a vitamin, you’d go buy a vitamin. You’re here for the biotics.
As for the Probiotic Blend, it contains 30 billion CFU.
Look, I might not be the leading-authority on gut health and probiotics… but I’m a pretty smart guy, so I’ve done the research and here’s what you should know about CFU’s, or “colony forming units.”
Alright, so Synbiotic 365 contains 3 billion of these guys in one serving (1 capsule), which should be more than plenty for your needs.
And the probiotic blend consists of the following good bacteria:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Bifidobacterium lactis
- Lactobacillus paracasei
- Lactobacillus plantarum
- Lactobacillus casei
- Lactobacillus reuteri
- Lactobacillus salivarius
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus
- Streptococcus thermophilus
- Bifidobacterium bifidum
- Bifidobacterium longum
- Saccharomyces boulardii
See below for the full ingredient list for Synbiotic 365
4. Does Synbiotic 365 work?
And now… the moment of truth.
Does this supplement work to radically improve your mood, aide in digestion, help you to get better sleep, melt away those unwanted pounds, AND deliver on the handful of other benefits it promises?
The short answer is “Maybe.”
Hear me out…
First off, according to one study, “Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics have systemic effects on the host’s health metabolism and immune system.” Source
OK, that’s a good start, but what kind of “systemic effects” do they have?
Well, they’ve been found to help with many maladies, including diarrhea, constipation, inflammation, and have even been shown to alleviate symptoms of allergy, cancer, AIDS, and respiratory and urinary tract infections.Source
Seems legit.
But what about reversing the effects of obesity and aiding in weight loss?
According to the study above…
“A breakthrough paper published in Nature reported that microbial population present in the gut is different for obese and lean people, and that when obese people lost weight their microflora resembled to that of lean people.
Diets containing high fibers typically have lower degrees of fat and energy density, and helpful for reducing the risk of obesity by promoting satiety and weight loss.”
So it’s true that “the introduction of probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics into the human diet is favourable for the intestinal microbiota.” And thus it may help with obesity, along with a number of other conditions.
We can also include on the long list of benefits the potential to “treatirritable bowel syndrome, enteritis, bacterial infections, various gastrointestinal disorders and diarrhoeas… and lactose intolerance.” Source
Finally, one study is even looking at evidence for the use of supplementation with probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics “for the prevention and treatment of dermatological diseases in adults.” Source
Phew! That’s a good handful of scientifically-backed reasons to start using probiotics.
Like yesterday.
However, with all that said…
Synbiotic 365 contains many of the same ingredients as other products sold on the market.
There’s really nothing special about it.
So if you do notice positive results by taking this supplement, you’d likely get the same results by using other synbiotics.

5. Who is Dr. Vincent Pedre?
Dr. Vincent Pedre is the brains behind Synbiotic 365.
A graduate of Cornell,Dr. Pedre is New York’s self-proclaimed leading authority on all things gut health. He’s the resident Doctor at United Naturals, and also runs Pedre Integrative Health in NY.
He was even featured on CBS…
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHmLZWZ6DU?rel=0]
He’s written books on gut health and the GTI, including “Happy Gut.”
So from what I can tell, Dr. Vincent Pedre is the real deal when it comes to learning how to restore your gut health.
6. User reviews of Synbiotic 365
Reading through user reviews can tell us A LOT about the efficacy of a product, and what to experience while taking it.
Reviews also help to take the edge off the purchase.
Positive reviews = street cred.
Negative reviews = steer clear.
But what happens when there are NO reviews at all?
Well, it should cause us to stop and ask some questions.
Is the product brand new? Has anyone even tried it yet? Why isn’t it sold on Amazon?
Was it so bad (or so good!) that people don’t even bother reviewing it?
In my experience, the more positive reviews a product has, the more we can trust it.
With that said, I searched high and low for user reviews of Synbiotic 365, and I came up bone dry.
So if you decide to try this product, just know that it might not be super effective.
Our Personal Test Results
We sent a free box of Synbiotic 365 to one of our site visitors via our STEPuP program.
Her name is Kathleen, and she’s been using it for the last 10 days.
Watch her video review below or scroll down to read more.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhT9wrfks90]
Here are her thoughts so far:
9/28/18 – Day 1
As a result of being prescribed 5 days of Prednisone combined with a prescription for antibiotics (for a sore throat), I developed a yeast infection in my mouth.
I was then prescribed Nystatin to combat the thrush.
After 28 days on Nystatin the yeast is still there.
It seemed to get a little better while taking the Nystatin, but when I stopped taking the Nystatin it came back.
So, I decided to see if Synbiotic 365 would help with this condition.
Today is my first day of taking this product and so far, I don’t see any difference, but I think it’s too early to tell yet.
Day 2:No noticeable difference regarding my thrush condition or otherwise.
Day 3:Again no noticeable difference in any way.
Day 4:No noticeable difference with the thrush.
As a side note, I do seem to be having more bowel movements than I normally do.
Day 5:Still no noticeable change regarding the thrush.
Day 6: Same as day 5.
Day 7:It seems like that thrush condition might be beginning to lessen slightly.
I don’t notice quite as much of a cotton-like feeling on my tongue and there doesn’t seems to be as much of it on my tongue.
More of a spotty look than a solid covering.
I am not currently taking any other course of action so that I can measure the effectiveness of this product for this condition, except that I do try and stay away from sugar so as not to feed the yeast.
Day 8:Same as yesterday.
Day 9:Same as day 7.
Day 10:I can still see areas of yeast overgrowth on my tongue, especially in the morning, but it does seem to be less noticeable than when I started, especially in terms of that horrible cotton like feel that thrush gives you.
Day 11: Nothing has changed since yesterday.
I still notice areas of yeast on my tongue.
Day 12:Same as day 11
Day 13: Not better or worse for the past several days.
Day 14:Unfortunately I am not noticing any further improvement in my condition.
I am thinking that this may be effective for some other issues but not really for thrush.
I seem to be in a holding pattern where my symptoms are not getting worse, but they are not really getting any better either.
Day 15:I forgot to take the probiotic today, but things seem the same as it has been for about the past week.
Day 16:Still no change
Day 17:Still no change either way.
It seemed to get better up to a point and then stop – but it hasn’t gotten worse.
This product may be better used for maintenance rather than cure.
Overall:Since I don’t really have digestive issues I don’t know how effective it actually is for that, but I think for my purposes it seems like it could only do so much. I did notice some improvement overall, but not a complete eradication of the yeast.
Synbiotic 365 FAQ’s
7. Is it safe to take?
This supplement is safe to take, as it contains mostly vitamins and “good” gut bacteria.
We’ll discuss this more in the “Side Effects” section, but generally speaking, users of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics do not experience any unwanted effects.
8. Where can I buy it?
As far as I know, you can only purchase the supplement from the official United Naturals website.
This isn’t really cause for concern, as many companies like the control of only selling their products through their own website.
9. How much is it?
Synbiotic 365 costs $45 per box.And I believe each box comes with 30 capsules.
And the more boxes you buy, the more you save.
As far as probiotics go, this price is pretty standard.
10. Is there a guarantee?
Yes, the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on the gut health supplement.
11. What are Prebiotics side effects?
Generally speaking, you shouldn’t notice side effects from taking this type of supplement.
However, one study claims that some prebiotics side effects include bloating and gaseousness, and abdominal pain and diarrhea with larger doses. Source
12. Do probiotics make you poop?
Yes, probiotics make you poop.
Well, they help your good gut bacteria to survive and thrive, which helps to regulate bowel movements.
If you’re looking for the best probiotic for constipation, I can’t say for sure this is the one, but you might give it a try.
13. Does this probiotic help with yeast infections?
While some women claim that probiotics help with yeast infections, the jury is still out whether or not probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics help to alleviate the symptoms of this type of infection.
Synbiotic 365 probably does not help yeast infections.
14. Recommendations
My personal opinion on Synbiotic 365 has shifted a bit. At first, I was a little concerned about Kathleen’s lack of results.
However, I think that her overall experiment was just way too short to draw any real conclusions.
I plan on testing it out personally soon, and will report my full results here once testing is complete.
In the meantime, if you would like to try out Synbiotic 365 yourself, pick up a a few bottles on their official site here: www.UnitedNaturals.com
I’d also suggest readingthis review on Probiotics Pills Sold in Stores (GNC, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and more)

High hopes but did not work for us
In Short: I would NOT recommend this to a friend.
I wish I could give a no-star rating. After watching the presentation and reading testimonials I ordered a 6 month supply last May for my husband and me. My husband had a bad reaction to them a couple of days after starting - chronic diarrhea and indigestion - and stopped after 2 weeks. His digestion normalized a few days after stopping. I took one tablet a day for several months and did not notice any improvement in my digestion, had frequent diarrhea and did not lose any weight so I stopped taking them too. I put the unused boxes away and completely forgot about them until a few weeks ago. I thought I’d try them once again but had the same experience as the first time. $400 was a lot to spend for something that did not improve our well-being and made us feel worse. I hate to throw away money by tossing the boxes I have left in the trash but that’s what I’m going to do.

Does not work
In Short: I would NOT recommend this to a friend.
I've taken this for an entire month and noticed no improvement on my stomach pain, bloating, indigestion or acid. I'm disappointed as it was recommended highly by someone I know.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
I don't tolerate Niacin.
In Short: I would NOT recommend this to a friend.
If you don't tolerate Niacin well you won't want to take these. It only took 4 days for me to have to give it up. Am very disappointed. I was happy with all of the other ingredients.
44 out of 112 people found this review helpful.
In Short: I would recommend this to a friend.
I just received my 3 boxes of symbiotic 365.. I didn't receive no email on my products no thank you for ordering just a return slip I will keep in touch.
If it works.

I have a picture of the capsule in the comments section below, scroll down to see it.
An appoximate measurement would do to know if I can take them as designed. Thanks.
As you can see, they’re huge. With that said, I don’t think if you break the capsule open and dump it / mix in a glass of water it will disrupt its effectiveness.
Not a good idea!
I recently caught strep throat and shingles (at the exact same time), was treated with penicillin, had an (mental and physical) allergic reaction to it, and now my psoriasis is different. Where it was before, it spread, and now have a new form that has left me covered in tiny spots.
My whole body feels raw, itchy and burns like I touched a hot stove.
On top of this i have (diagnosed 2012) Celiac disease, asthma, fibromayalgia, and now my one Dr tells me I’m dying of Lyme Disease.
I need help. Glad I checked in here before ordering, as I’m not convinced this will help me based on lack of reviews.
I was always athletic growing up, into everything, and now I have no energy for anything and am obese (though I’ve been told I hold my weight well), I’m always bloated, and brain fog has me in a mess.
Won’t go into gory details, but can’t be far from a toilet, and hardly eat anything because my body rejects nearly everything I put into it. I’m always hungry, but ignore the signs for fear of getting sicker.
Nauseous all the time.
Drs took me off work 2 years ago, so I’m on very limited income and can’t waste money on something that might not help me when I can not even afford groceries at this point.
I’m only 37 years old and feel I’m ready to be done here on Earth.
The struggle is real, as the kids say..
Thanks in advance, for any advice you offer!
Just read your story and wanted to know if anyone replied back to you about the supplements and if they worked for you. Pray you’re feeling better.
Kathy
They had good results from Melaleuca products. The gold bar for soap worked well for them.
Also the Renew lotion worked for them as well as for a friend of mine. Good luck.
Laura
I have found with the Synbiotic 365 that it does help with constipation, I also see improvement in my face/skin, some improvement in reduction of cravings, and I also feel there may be some help with mental clarity. After using it for a while, these things don’t seem as pronounced, but I feel that it may be because these qualities are more the norm(?).
Just for the issue of having a capsule that can make me more regular is something very appreciated for me. Lastly, I feel the craving reduction really is helpful when I concentrate on making better food choices.
But at 58 I struggle with love for the kit kat. Imagine how life would be if kit kats where a required dietary staple….
The average review should actually be at least 4.0.
Yes, I know. It’s something we’re working on, will get it fixed asap.
The dangerous part is removed in the cooking process. I found this statement below on the Internet too:
“The Berkeley Wellness Letter summarizes the Gundry hoax like this: “If there’s one thing evidence-based health and nutrition experts agree on, it’s that people should eat a largely plant-based diet.
For those looking for an excuse not to do so, Dr. Gundry offers a contrarian, pseudoscientific voice. But he is wrong — and self-serving."
I was a person who ordered and used Dr. Gundry’s products and I found no help from them at all.
Maybe others may find a use to them but, like anything, you should look on the internet for other opinions. No one should throw good money away to doctors trying to find a way to make fistfuls of money.
It is however ambitious to say that one supplement can reverse that damage done. Sure vacuum packed probiotics, with the addition of prebiotic, and some B isolates is a great start, but I now know that the damage from glycphosate is more damming.
No one product can address the damage done. Unfortunately, we need to add Cali wines from 2016 to the polluted with glyphosate group… sad.
It’s in the water supply and even the Organic wines are now contaminated.
There is much more to say about the dangers of Glyposate, but I will save that for my own site.
Eat small portioned healthy foods every 3 hours and finish eating with a balanced full meal 3-4 hours prior to going to bed.
Do not drink soft drinks of any kind
Do not drink anything with large amounts of sugar, e.g., gatorade, cool-aid, etc.
Do not drink alcohol PERIOD
Do not eat sweets of any kind
Do not eat fast food or food from restaurants PERIOD
Eat chicken breast, salmon, lean meats, organic vegetables, low sodium soaps, healthy salads, etc.
Portion control, NO binge eating
I’m a 46 year old healthy man. I was 60 lbs over weight a year ago, I followed the above rules exactly and lost 40 lbs in 30 days without working out one time.
Whatever, I’m glad for you at the loss of 60lbs. That is great!
Al said he doesn’t eat 3-4 hrs before bed… he’s not eating all night long.
Good list, sir.
I agree with you.
Meat and organic veggies. I can see how this would work.
But are you sad and mad all the time? How long did it take to get used to this diet.
And what did you have for breakfast?
Thanks
Could you please list what you eat per meal & snacks & what you drink.
Could you list meats, fish & vegetables & other items you eat. I would like to try what you are doing!
Please list anything you are eating or using that would help me! Thanks?
Still no delivery after 9 business days. DONT ORDER FROM UNITED NATURALS.
THEY ARE A SCAM!!!
I started my product four days ago…… and already, I have more energy, hardly any evening hunger, more mental clarity and focus.
I probably will make a new order if things continue to improve after three months.
Gassari and L. Rhamnosus.
My assumption was both would be present in the Synbiotic 365 formula. However, upon looking at the label above, only one of those two critically good bacteria are listed.
Did anyone else notice that? Can anyone explain if this is the alleged formula change that was made that other reviewers complained about (indicating the older formula worked better)?
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I’m still contemplating buying one box to see what occurs the 1st month. Thank you all for these helpful reviews!
It’s so sad how dangerous many of our foods have become…and that nothing is being done about it. I’m so thankful for guidance from others, like you, who truly care enough to share honest advice in today’s world.
Guess what?! My box states that it contains formula number 3 and the L. gasseri is included again.
After reading many of the reviews here and seeing the videos, I see there’s quite a bit of interest in this product, for different reasons.
I exercise 3-4 times per week, eat healthy, and get and average of 8.5 hours of sleep every day. I purchased this product, hoping it will help to 1) improve my digestion, 2) relieve digestive discomfort, which should 3) improve my energy levels to 4) support my overall fitness efforts to lose weight.
I am technically obese, so I have a serious reason for trying this product. I want to live a long time.
Since this product is relatively new to the market, I will periodically give an honest review how this product is helping me or not.
Today is day 1.
My doctor wants me to take VSL3, but they are not available in this area. Something with tbe patent?? Question to you or anyone reading this= do you have a problem with diarrhea, very watery and cannot control? Thanks for an answer.
diana
I opened a new browser window to research reviews. One review stated the original “edition” was great!! Subsequent “editions” didn’t work the same; as the ingredients differed.
Why not continue sending the exact same product? If I start a regimen or product and it’s working, I want to stick with it.
If I have no control over what “edition” of the product I’m going to receive every month, no thank you! I think I will just purchase Peptiva from GNC.
Thanks for all of your comments; they have been helpful.
I hope this Dr produces a high quality product as well because I’m sure many will buy it.
Thanks
Can’t find reviews anywhere on this product.
We had someone test out Synbiotic 365, check out her review here.
Please let know asap so in start this right !! Thank you Charles if you want to call my number is 617-35xx-xxxx im in Boston ma
I believe you’re supposed to start with just one capsule per day with water. It shouldn’t matter what time of the day you take it, just make sure you take at least one capsule.
I have IBS-D, and just received my box Monday evening. Started it yesterday and noticed some positive things!
It’s as if it’s ‘purging’ bad impurities & calming things down. I try to eat healthy; haven’t had corn in about 2 years, but I’m single and sometimes don’t eat too much.
Breakfast is Siggi’s yogurt everyday. Dinner is usually a lean protein and nothing else (no starch).
It’s already taken care of trapped gas (sorry gross I know, but everyone does it lol) so I’m happy with that. I’ll keep at it, but I’m glad I’m using it.
All the best Rob, and to each of you. 😀
Please tell me how you solved this issue.
Thank you!

Dr. Amy in LA, CA. She also has a hoopala video promoting her product and educating on “Gut Health”, Such that I took her up on offer if no results; money back( $40/ month bottle). Been using this product for just over a year with notable results.
The one difference is Dr. Pedre’s packaging that I missed seeing in your review.
I am not a packaging engineer, but a Rocket science engineer and feel that may be a choice for this over another product if all else is the same. In any case I will be trying Dr. Pedre’s product, ordering today.
I will be stopping my existing product(BIO-X4) and starting Synbiotic 365 when it arrives. Will report results on your site if you so desire.
Appreciate your time, research and due diligence in assisting others in making a decision on their health choices. -Mr. Bill
We haven’t had a chance to have our pharmacist look over the Synbiotic 365 formula yet, so unfortunately I don’t have an answer for you yet. I’ll see if we can get him to look it over soon.

Thank you
We don’t actually sell Synbiotic 365, we just reviewed it. You’ll have to contact them directly regarding discounts / coupon codes / etc.
I read through your critique of Synbiotic 365 and have this to add.
Dr. Steven Gundry has. IMHO. a better approach to gut health, and he’s not primarily selling supplements. Rather he’s written books, available on Amazon, on the subject:
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/143-3850298-2510530?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=dr.+gundry%27s+diet+evolution+book
What I like about this approach is that Dr. Gundry is providing information on how to change your dietary intake to achieve healthier results. Supplements, such as you’ve reviewed, may also work, but maybe they are just a way to overcome eating the wrong foods or not preparing them properly. This is a much less expensive and long term way to get results, and avoid what could be the harmful effects of expensive supplements. Dr. Gundry also provides properly prepared foods for those willing to pay, but without the time to follow the advice he’s written about.
Dr. Gundry’s main claim is that edible plants and other food categories have a defense mechanism against insects or contain lectins due to intake in the case of living creatures. In turn this harms those of us who eat these foods, and there are a lot of them. Almost all fruits and vegetables contain lectins on their exteriors. A way to defeat their ill-effects is proper preparation/cooking.
The following is a list of food categories containing lectins:
• Vegetables (especially nightshades)
• Seeds
• Beans and legumes
• Traditional dairy products
• Grain-fed and farm-raised animal proteins
He also has a video, and I also do not like videos because they drag on, some of them, for over an hour. Then at the end, despite previous claims of free advice, you’re treated to something that will cost you. Input your credit card information. So much for the “free” advice.
Anyhow Dr. Gundry also provides online information on both foods approved and those disapproved for lectin content, and with most of the information you’d find in the books he sells on Amazon:
https://gundrymd.com/plant-paradox-shopping-list/
This web page, by the way, is not the long-winded video type. I would like to see move of this honest access to information without all the deceit that accompanies videos from other sources.
For those who have, due to time constraints, time unavailable to follow his advice, there are also “supplements”, which are foods properly prepared in which most of the lectins have been removed.
NO. I am not a paid promoter of Dr. Gundry. I just find his advice a lot more honest. It covers the gamut of those willing to take the time to follow his advice as well as for those willing to pay for foods that are properly prepared.
Dr. Gundry is a heart surgeon, and provides many testimonials from patients he’s treated. I’ve seen him featured on the margins of Yahoo that you mention you frequently visit.

I have a coworker on Dr. Gundry’s plan & she is experiencing amazing health & weight loss results. She has lost 20 pounds and is at her ideal weight at age 56 & her husband has lost 30 pounds & her husband is a off all his cholesterol meds now.
It is a lot of work learning the ins & outs of this better eating & prep, but the results & happier lifestyle has been amazing. I have lost 40 pounds on an HMR Health protein shake plan & I’m now considered normal weight for my height & age (45) but I’m moving to Dr. Gundry’s plan so my husband & I can eat healthy for a long time to come in regards to “gut” health, which has always been an issue for me.
