Overall digestive wellness, microbiome diversity, and gut barrier integrity.
Naturally probiotic-rich foods that introduce beneficial bacteria to the gut.
How to Use
Include 2-3 servings of fermented foods daily: kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, yogurt, miso, tempeh, or kombucha. Variety is key — different foods contain different strains.
Why It Works
Fermented foods contain live beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, etc.) that colonize the gut, produce short-chain fatty acids, and crowd out pathogenic bacteria.
Non-digestible fibers that feed beneficial gut bacteria.
How to Use
Eat prebiotic-rich foods daily: garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, bananas (slightly green), oats, and Jerusalem artichokes. Aim for 5-10g of prebiotic fiber daily.
Why It Works
Prebiotics are selectively fermented by beneficial bacteria, producing butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids that nourish the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the intestinal barrier.
A collagen and amino acid-rich broth that supports gut lining repair.
How to Use
Drink 1-2 cups of homemade bone broth daily, or use it as a base for soups. Simmer bones for 12-24 hours with apple cider vinegar to extract minerals.
Why It Works
Bone broth contains glutamine, glycine, and proline — amino acids that support the integrity of the intestinal lining. Glutamine is the primary fuel source for enterocytes (gut lining cells).
