Supporting Your Gut to Strengthen Immunity: Why It Matters and How PB Restore Can Help
When it comes to protecting our health, we often focus on avoiding germs or taking vitamins — but there's one powerful system inside us that quietly influences nearly everything: the gut microbiome. This complex community of bacteria plays a vital role in supporting our immune defenses, managing inflammation, and protecting us from infection.
And while we can’t always prevent illness, we can create an internal environment that makes us stronger and more resilient.
That’s where gut health — and supplements like doTERRA PB Restore — come in.
🧠 Why Gut Health Is So Important
Over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. When your gut microbiome is in balance, it helps:
Support healthy immune responses
Defend against harmful bacteria and viruses
Reduce chronic inflammation
Aid nutrient absorption and detoxification
When it’s out of balance — often due to stress, antibiotics, poor diet, or illness — your immune system becomes more vulnerable. This can increase your risk of infections and complications like sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s extreme response to infection.
⚠️ Gut Health and Sepsis: What’s the Connection?
A weakened or imbalanced gut microbiome can allow harmful bacteria to overgrow, penetrate the gut lining, and enter the bloodstream — a process that may trigger widespread infection and inflammation.
By supporting a healthy, resilient microbiome, you help:
Maintain the gut barrier (your body's first defense against pathogens)
Regulate immune activity and inflammation
Reduce the chances of bacterial overgrowth or leakage into the bloodstream
While PB Restore is not a treatment or prevention for sepsis, it plays a meaningful supportive role in maintaining internal balance and reducing infection risk — an important piece in the overall picture of health defense.
🌿 How doTERRA PB Restore Supports Gut & Immune Wellness
PB Restore is doTERRA’s advanced prebiotic–probiotic–bacteriophage supplement, designed to support gut integrity and immunity on multiple levels. It delivers a unique combination of beneficial bacteria, plant-based prebiotics, and targeted support to balance the gut environment and help the body thrive.
✔️ What’s in PB Restore?
🔸 1. Four Probiotic Strains from Oranges
PB Restore features a proprietary blend of four resilient probiotic strains, originally derived from fresh oranges:
Lactobacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Lactobacillus paracasei
These strains are known for:
Supporting immune modulation
Enhancing gut barrier function
Aiding nutrient absorption
Surviving the acidic stomach environment thanks to delayed-release technology
🔸 2. Targeted Bacteriophages (Phages)
Bacteriophages are natural, microscopic viruses that infect and destroy specific strains of harmful bacteria — without affecting beneficial microbes. PB Restore includes a patented phage blend designed to:
Reduce overgrowth of unwanted or harmful bacteria
Create space for beneficial probiotics to thrive
Help maintain a more balanced and diverse microbiome
This “smart” cleansing effect makes PB Restore more advanced than traditional probiotics, supporting gut harmony at a deeper level.
🔸 3. Prebiotics + Botanical Support
FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) – Nourish good bacteria
Apple and acacia fiber – Promote healthy bowel regularity
Ginger root & peppermint leaf – Naturally soothe the digestive tract
Dairy-free, non-GMO, delayed-release capsule – Protects ingredients and ensures delivery to the intestines
✅ Daily Gut + Immune Support Routine
Here’s a simple wellness routine that incorporates PB Restore and helps keep your immune system and gut in sync:
Morning
Hydrate with warm lemon water or a drop of doTERRA Lemon essential oil in a glass
Eat a fiber-rich breakfast (oats, berries, flaxseed)
Take foundational supplements like the doTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack
Lunch
Eat whole, minimally processed foods
Include fermented items like yogurt, kimchi, or sauerkraut
Evening
Take PB Restore with or after dinner
Wind down with calming essential oils like Lavender or Serenity
Get at least 7–8 hours of restful sleep
Optional Weekly Add-Ons
Monthly gut reset: Consider using GX Assist before starting PB Restore for deeper cleansing
Stress management: Practice breathwork, light movement, or diffuse calming oils like Balance

To purchase doTERRA pb restore - https://doterra.me/10bqY-
I recently attended a two day workshop on the Gut/Brain Connection and it reinforced the message from doTERRA about the importance of maintaining a healthy gut biome. I am already taking the LLV ( Lifelong Vitality) pack and the Turmeric and Deep Blue Polyphenols for my osteo arthritis but will now add in some other products, especially the PB Restore and Terrazyme. My consultant told me to keep taking painkillers for my condition. I told him that I don’t take any and don’t have much pain and that I use doTERA’s Wintergreen, Turmeric and Omega oils for my joints. He agreed that those were helpful but was surprised that I wasn’t on Paracetamol and Ibuprofen! No thank you!
