Your gut and immune system are very connected — about 70% of immune cells residing in the gut. The bacteria in your gut microbiome help train your immune system, fight off harmful pathogens, and regulate inflammation. When your gut is healthy, your immune system is balanced and strong. But an imbalanced gut—caused by poor diet, stress, or lack of sleep—can lead to systemic inflammation, weakened immunity, and even chronic illnesses.

A diet rich in fiber, probiotics, and prebiotics supports good bacteria, strengthening immunity and overall health. 🥦🦠💪

Gut- hormone connection ♾️

Your gut health plays a HUGE role in balancing hormones. Your gut microbiome helps regulate estrogen, cortisol, and even serotonin—the “feel-good” hormone! About 90-95% of your body’s serotonin is produced in the gut! When your gut is out of balance, you might experience bloating, mood swings, fatigue, or irregular cycles.

Support your gut and hormones by:

🥗 Eating fiber-rich, whole foods
🧘‍♀️ Managing stress (hello, deep breaths!)
💧 Staying hydrated
🥛 Adding probiotics & fermented foods

The gut = the second brain 🧠✨

The gut-brain connection is a complex relationship between your digestive system and your brain. Essentially, your gut and brain are constantly communicating through a network called the gut-brain axis, which is influenced by nerves, hormones, and the microbiome.

Your gut microbiome produces key neurotransmitters like serotonin which affects your mood and mental health. An imbalance in gut health can lead to issues like stress, anxiety, and brain fog. Hormones from the gut also regulate hunger and fullness, impacting your mental and physical well-being.

Here are a few tips to keep your gut (and brain!) happy:

1️⃣ Eat more fiber – fruits, veggies, and whole grains are key to feeding the good bacteria in your gut.

2️⃣ Fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and kefir are packed with probiotics to support healthy gut flora.

3️⃣ Stay hydrated – your gut needs water to do its thing, and hydration can help with everything from digestion to mental clarity.

4️⃣ Manage stress – stress can throw off your gut balance, so take time for mindfulness or relaxation techniques.

5️⃣ Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and seeds to support brain health and gut function.

Protein is like the building block of your body. It supports muscle, tissues, enzymes, hormones, and plays a big role in how energized and satisfied you feel.

There are different types/sources of protein:

Animal proteins – complete proteins that contain all essential amino acids (meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy)

Plant proteins – can be complete or incomplete, but more supportive when eaten in variety (beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, nuts, seeds)

Benefits of getting enough protein:
- Supports muscle maintenance and strength
- Helps with fullness and appetite regulation
- Supports stable blood sugar levels
- Aids in recovery after workouts
- Supports immune function and hormone production
- Helps maintain metabolism, especially during fat loss

Including ~20–30g of protein per meal is a helpful general guideline, though exact needs can vary depending on factors like body size, activity level, and individual goals.
