Gut Bacteria Rebalance - Step 3
Step 3
Long term Gut Support
In the long-term, here are the important items keep your gut bacteria happy and healthy:
Seed your gut 1x a week or so to replace the bacteria that would have naturally migrated into our gut in the past
Enjoy a serving of fermented food every day
Listen to your digestive symptoms, notice early if your gut needs a bit of help or rebalancing. Quiet symptoms only need small changes to be rebalanced (i.e. taking a probiotic daily for a while or adding a binding fibre back into your diet).
Spend time in nature as much as possible, dirt is great for the gut!
It’s really that easy! Our gut bacteria has co-evolved with us for all of human history and for most of that time, it happened without us even knowing. Our modern lifestyles haven’t been kind to our microbiome but through these 4 steps you can re-create just enough of our old lifestyle to create balance ❤️
How often should I repeat this?
You can do this yearly, but that’s not always necessary. If you feel really out of whack, you have an old symptom return (like yeast infection, fungal rash, thrush, etc.) or your sugar cravings are really high, consider starting from step one again.
Your microbiome is a self-regulating ecosystem when in balance. That’s why the steps to keep it in balance are so simple. Only take an anti-microbial when you know you need to kill some bad guys off and your gut bacteria will stay in harmony for years ❤️
