Probiotics are microorganisms living within the body while contributing positively to the body's health. These are the good bacteria that you actually want in your system. Probiotic-rich foods include yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi.

The main job of probiotics is to maintain a healthy balance in your body, keeping your body healthy and working well.

However, it can be difficult to obtain a healthy amount of probiotics with your diet alone, especially after a round of antibiotics. You may also not be getting enough or are missing important strains in your microbiome. This is why it makes sense to take a probiotic supplement.

Have you ever reached for that sweet treat and wondered why it's so hard to resist?

What if I told you that the real craving might not be coming from 'you' at all? The culprits of your sugar cravings are the tiny organisms residing in your gut!

At the heart of this phenomenon is the 'Gut-Brain Axis,' an intricate network connecting your gut flora to your emotional and mental state. Nourish your body with healthy foods, and you create an environment where positive gut bacteria can flourish - enhancing your mood and overall sense of well-being.

But when the scales tip in favor of the less beneficial bacteria, they call out for what feeds them best: sugar. And thus, a craving is born.

Balancing work and personal life can feel like walking a tightrope. In a world where the lines often blur, maintaining this balance is not just beneficial, it's essential for our overall well-being. Here are some tips to help you find that sweet spot:

1. Understand what balance means. Sometimes it means more work hours, other times you need to prioritize your personal life.
2. Block out your calendar for important personal activities such as family dinners or date nights with the spouse.
3. Limit your work hours. Set firm boundaries around when you are, and aren't, available.
4. Turn off your smartphone to keep you more focused and productive.
5. Manage your energy, not your time. Schedule the most important tasks when you usually feel more focused and productive.
6. Schedule vacation time to recharge.
7. Consider hiring out or delegating household tasks to your spouse or older children.
