Ever since I’ve been focused on gut health, I’ve had a great new perspective to add to how we view eating and nourishment.

Quickly after finishing my book, “The Healthy Gut”, I’ve hyperfixated on cooking a variety of foods with my microbiome in mind. Crazily enough, about a week later Netflux released a documentary about hacking gut health. And the combination of both my book & the personification portrayed in the doc helped me visualize little monitos 👾living in my belly just hungry for good bacteria🦠 .

So now every time I put something in my mouth, I question, “would my gut like this? Omg I gotta feed my gut monsters”.

And isn’t that just a more beautiful way to view food versus the highly stigmatized diet culture we’ve been conditioned to follow??

Two ways I’m feeding my little gut monsters:

🍆 Eating a wide variety of fruits and veggies. Adding new veggies or fruit to my grocery list is part of my personal goals this year.

💊 Taking a probiotic. To stimulate the growth of healthy microorganisms & fight off unfriendly bacteria. Important that it contains 𝘓. 𝘈𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘴 or 𝘉. 𝘣𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘮 as they are the most important strains.

One of my challenges is making an effort to restrict my processed sugar intake. I have a huge sweet tooth 🍪 so keeping processed foods away from them 👾 (and me) is something I battle daily 😅.

But it takes a conscious effort to do so, so stick around, follow along for the story and we’ll see what changes this brings to my body and overall health. 🩷
