When it comes to weight management, the conversation often revolves around restrictive diets, intense workout plans, and societal pressures. But as we learn more about the body, it becomes clear that weight management is about so much more than calories in and calories out—it’s about whole-body wellness.
Enter gut health: an often-overlooked factor that plays a major role in weight regulation, metabolism, and overall health.
So, what can this actually look like in day-to-day life? A gut-forward routine, called the Pre & Probiotic Power Pack, features URO Whole Body Probiotic and URO Women's Prebiotic Fiber. The targeted duo is designed to support your gut health and digestive system in a holistic way that feels balanced, sustainable, and easy to implement.
What's in it? Glad you asked. URO Women's Prebiotic Fiber gummies contain chicory root-derived fiber to support good gut bacteria, bowel regularity, healthy weight management, and probiotic lifespan. URO Whole Body Probiotic is scientifically formulated with our 10-strain Body Positiv Probiotic Blend™, licorice root, and dandelion, to support gut barrier integrity for relief from bloating, gas and other digestive discomfort.* Name a better duo...we'll wait.
In this article, we’ll talk about how gut health connects to weight management, the benefits of our unique ingredients, and how the Pre & Probiotic Power Pack can support you on your health journey—no matter your lifestyle, body type, or goals.
Gut Health and Its Role in Weight Regulation
The gut is often called the "second brain," and for good reason. Home to trillions of bacteria, your gut microbiome impacts everything from digestion and immunity to mood and energy levels. It also plays a critical role in weight management. Here's how:
1. Balancing the Microbiome
A healthy gut microbiome thrives on diversity. When the balance of good and bad bacteria shifts (a state known as dysbiosis), it can disrupt digestion, metabolism, and energy storage. Research has shown that individuals with a balanced microbiome rich with beneficial bacteria (probiotics) tend to have better metabolic health, which supports healthy weight regulation.1
2. Supporting Metabolism
Fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption into the blood stream. Additionally, specific strains of probiotics can help break down food more efficiently and promote nutrient absorption, giving your body what it needs to fuel its daily processes. A thriving gut helps regulate hormones like insulin and ghrelin, which influence hunger, fullness, and energy use.2
3. Reducing Inflammation
Inflammation in the gut can lead to digestive issues, disruptions in metabolism, and even insulin resistance. A healthy gut lowers inflammation levels, allowing the body and digestive system to work optimally—including when it comes to managing weight.3
When your gut is in balance, your body feels the effects: improved digestion, better energy levels, reduced cravings, and, for many, more sustainable weight management.
The Pre & Probiotic Power Pack: Your Gut Health Hero
URO Whole Body Probiotic's Body Positiv Probiotic Blend™ is a carefully selected mix of 10 probiotic strains designed to support gut balance, metabolism, and overall well-being.*4 URO Women's Prebiotic Fiber gummies not only help support the lifespan of these probiotics, they are also formulated to help support healthy digestion and bowel regularity.*
Here’s how they work together to support your health goals:
1. Promotes Gut Diversity
By introducing beneficial bacteria into the gut, this blend of probiotics helps restore and maintain microbial balance, which is essential for optimal digestion and metabolic health. Sufficient fiber intake can support a healthy diversity of beneficial bacteria, and the introduction of beneficial bacteria into the gut through a daily probiotic fortifies that support.*
2. Supports Healthy Digestion
Targeted probiotics in URO Whole Body Probiotic help break down food, reduce bloating, and improve nutrient absorption—all of which are essential for feeling your best. Inulin, the natural prebiotic fiber in URO Women's Prebiotic Fiber, adds bulk to the stool to help improve consistency and support healthy digestive rhythm and bowel regularity.*
3. Regulates Appetite
Balanced gut bacteria can influence appetite-regulating hormones like leptin and ghrelin, helping you feel satisfied and reducing those energy dips that often lead to cravings. Inulin prebiotic fiber plays a key role in managing cravings by supporting glucose digestion, and thus promoting a feeling of fullness.*
4. Boosts Energy Levels
By improving how your body processes food and reduces inflammation, prebiotics and probiotics can help support steady energy levels that power you through the day.*
This daily routine is designed to be inclusive, supportive, and approachable—no matter where you are on your wellness journey. It’s all about giving your gut the tools it needs to function at its best.
Additional Ingredients in URO Whole Body Probiotic, and How They May Support Your Health Goals
Licorice Root: Balancing Stress and Supporting Digestion
Licorice root has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb, and modern science continues to uncover its many benefits—especially when it comes to gut health.
1. Stress and Cortisol Regulation
Licorice root is known for its adaptogenic properties, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress.5 Stress can elevate cortisol, a hormone that, when imbalanced, can contribute to weight gain (especially around the midsection). By helping regulate cortisol levels, licorice root supports a more balanced stress response.*
2. Digestion Support
Licorice root soothes the digestive tract, reducing inflammation and promoting gut lining health.6 A healthy digestive system often means better nutrient absorption, less bloating, and more effective energy use—all of which contribute to overall wellness.*
3. Hormone Balance
Because cortisol impacts hunger and energy levels, balancing this hormone can indirectly support healthier eating patterns and weight management.
Adding licorice root to a probiotic formula helps address one of the often-overlooked barriers to weight regulation: stress and its impact on the gut.*
Dandelion Root: Detoxification and Digestive Support
Dandelion root isn’t just a backyard weed—it’s a powerful herb with detoxifying and digestive benefits.7 Here’s why it’s a standout ingredient for supporting gut health:
1. Natural Detoxifier
Dandelion root supports liver function, which plays a key role in detoxifying the body. A healthy liver helps process fats, metabolize nutrients, and eliminate waste more effectively.*
2. Gentle Digestive Aid
Dandelion root acts as a natural prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria in your gut and supporting overall microbial balance. Prebiotics and probiotics work hand in hand to keep the gut functioning at its best.*
3. Targets Water Retention
Known for its mild diuretic properties, dandelion root can help reduce bloating and water weight, contributing to a lighter, more comfortable feeling.

Weight management is not about perfection—it’s about finding balance, supporting your body, and feeling good from the inside out. The Pre & Probiotic Power Pack is formulated to provide science-backed support for your gut, metabolism, and overall well-being with prebiotic fiber, 10 unique probiotics, licorice root, and dandelion.*
