3) “Eat the Rainbow” - Research shows that when you consume a wide variety of fruits and vegetables each week, you support your microbiome with prebiotics (fiber that feeds our gut bacteria).

You also get polyphenols - compounds made by plants that can fight cancer.

How Short-Chain Fatty Acids Affect Health and Weight
Short-chain fatty acids are produced by the friendly bacteria in your gut. They may promote weight loss and provide various health benefits.

Gut Barrier Defense:

A healthy gut lining acts as a barrier- keeping most microbes and toxins inside the intestines and helping prevent unnecessary immune activation. Good bacteria contribute to this defense by supporting mucus and gut-wall integrity. 🧱

Short-chain fatty acids:

Certain gut microbes break down dietary fiber into short-chain fatty acids, which act as messengers that support a calm, well-regulated immune response. This is one of the many ways diet and microbial health intersect. 🌱

Immune Health:

The gut and immune system are deeply connected. A balanced microbiome helps the body respond appropriately, meaning not overreacting to harmless exposures and staying ready to defend against true threats that come through the gut. 🧬

Your gut also talks to your hormones.

Microbes interact with gut endocrine cells that help regulate hunger, blood sugar, and metabolism - linking the microbiome to energy and weight balance. ⚖️

The gut and brain are in constant conversation through the gut-brain axis.

Some microbes even produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, influencing mood and cognition. 🧠

Your gut is also your largest immune organ — with up to 80% of immune cells living there.

Beneficial bacteria help train your immune system and keep harmful microbes in check. 🦠🛡️

Good bacteria in your gut can help:

👉Break down food into nutrients

👉Suppress bad bacteria in the gut

👉Digest fiber

👉Make Vitamins B & K

👉Produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA's) that nourish your gut lining and reduce inflammation💪

Think of the gut microbiome as a thriving garden. 🌿

When it’s balanced, you feel well.

When it’s depleted or overrun by “weeds” (ie bad bacteria), it can affect your whole body from inflammation to energy levels.

Synbiotics ✨

A synbiotic combines probiotics AND prebiotics together in one formula, for a synergistic effect.

The probiotic provides beneficial bacteria, while the prebiotic helps to feed certain butyrate-producing species which can't be taken as a probiotic.

Prebiotics ✨

We all need certain types of good bacteria to produce an anti-inflammatory substance called butyrate that supports the gut barrier.

Prebiotics are special fibers that pass through your stomach to feed these good bacteria in your lower gut.

✨ Probiotics ✨

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that you can take orally for good health.

They generate short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that help support immunity, reduce inflammation, and can help with production of vitamins.💊
