5 Gut Health Tips for 2025:

1. Eat a Rainbow Diet: Prioritize one serving of each color daily to diversify your microbiome—smoothies can help!
2. Include Fermented Foods: Introduce beneficial bacteria through options like yogurt, kimchi, or sauerkraut. Start slow!
3. Choose Cleaner Foods: Go organic when possible, and focus on pasture-raised, grass-fed, or wild-caught proteins. Start with the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15.
4. Read Labels Carefully: Aim for short ingredient lists and avoid additives like BHA, BHT, and MSG. Health labels can be misleading!
5. Work with a Gut Health Expert: A professional can help tailor your journey and ensure you’re optimizing your gut for your unique needs.
