What role could next-generation probiotics play in supporting mental health?

The gut-brain axis is a complex network connecting the microbiome, neurotransmitter pathways, inflammation, and neurocognitive function.

Join us on October 27 for an educational webinar with Dr. Oscar Coetzee, exploring the emerging science behind next-generation probiotics and their potential role in supporting mental health.

During this session, Dr. Coetzee will discuss microbial cross-feeding, nutrient availability, neuroinflammation, and how functional testing may provide deeper insights into the gut-brain connection to help inform more personalized approaches to care.

Unlike many traditional probiotics that simply pass through, Complete Commensal Probiotic™ is designed to stay and become part of the gut ecosystem.*

Some of the gut’s most influential bacteria exist in small numbers. These “keystone” commensal organisms play a powerful part in supporting the intestinal environment.*

Complete Commensal Probiotic™ is the first and only probiotic to deliver five live native commensal strains.*

One capsule daily or as directed by your health-care practitioner. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Salmon, sardines, anchovies, and mackerel all have something important in common: they’re rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids.��But how often are they actually making it onto your plate?

Omega-3s are classified as essential because you must get them from food. The omega-3s in fatty fish (EPA and DHA) are what your body uses to help support a healthy inflammatory response after it's served its purpose.*

As the days get shorter and we lose sunlight, maintaining healthy vitamin D status can become more challenging.

Thankfully, you just need one Vitamin D Supreme capsule per day, all winter long.*

Vitamin D Supreme provides targeted support for healthy vitamin D status, along with vitamins K1 and K2 to support bone, cardiovascular, and immune health.*

Talk with your healthcare practitioner about whether Vitamin D Supreme belongs in your winter wellness routine.

We're proud to be featured in Nutrition Insight's latest coverage of innovation in the GLP-1 companion space!

As more people turn to GLP-1 medications as part of their metabolic health journey, the conversation around nutrition and gut support is evolving fast — and Designs for Health is helping lead that charge.

The article highlights our Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic, a once-daily formula designed to support the body's natural GLP-1 production and the gut-metabolic axis. It combines live Akkermansia muciniphila with the clinically studied Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BPL1 postbiotic.

As this category continues to grow, we're committed to formulating with science-backed ingredients that support the body's own metabolic processes.

Estimates suggest that 3.8 million concussions occur in the United States annually because of sport and recreation with up to 50% of concussions going unreported.1

Members of the Designs for Health team recently published a case report exploring a personalized, multimodal integrative approach for a former professional football player with post-concussive syndrome and early-onset cognitive decline.

The report details improvements in cognitive function, quality of life, gut microbiome markers, nutrient status, and more over the course of care.

For decades, creatine was seen as a supplement for athletes and bodybuilders. New research is changing that story.

In this feature with LA's the Place, our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Brady, breaks down what's fueling the shift — including a recent study on adults aged 45–65 that found 12 weeks of creatine supplementation improved strength, lean tissue mass, and even memory and cognition, with some benefits appearing regardless of exercise status.

As the research expands, creatine's role may reach far beyond the gym — into a broader conversation about healthy aging.

Could joint and muscle discomfort actually start in the gut?

In his latest piece, our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Brady, explores the often-overlooked connection between gastrointestinal health and musculoskeletal complaints and how disruptions in the gut microbiome and intestinal barrier may contribute to inflammation that extends well beyond digestion.

He walks through a compelling case study: a patient with years of overlapping GI and joint symptoms who saw significant improvement after a personalized, testing-informed approach, one that combined dietary changes with targeted nutraceutical support for gut lining, microbial balance, and inflammatory response.

The takeaway? When gastrointestinal and systemic complaints show up together, functional GI testing may offer valuable insight for building a more individualized path forward.
