There's a lot of talk about gut health on social media and TV, with more and more buzz being created around probiotics, fiber, and other gut-supporting supplements. With so much information going around, it's easy to get overwhelmed and even confused.
So let's bring a bit of clarity to this topic.
The key to a thriving gut is much simpler than taking a fistful of supplements. It has everything to do with plant diversity in your diet.
The average probiotic contains 3-5 strains of bacteria (in massive amounts). Your gut, on the other hand, is host to thousands of species that make up the microbiome.
Each strain plays a unique role in supporting your health, from digestion to immunity to mood regulation. But to thrive, these bacteria need to be fed—and one probiotic isn’t going to cut it.
To feed them, you need plants.
But here's the tricky part: experts recommend we eat 30-50 types of plant species per week for optimal gut health.
This is because each plant contains unique fibers, polyphenols, and nutrients that fuel specific strains.
If this seems excessive, we hear you. There's an easier way to do things - and we'll get to that in just a minute.
But first, let's see how the most common supplements for gut health are lacking and why you should carefully look into the ingredients before investing in them.
Probiotics
Your average probiotic might contain a handful of strains, but without a diverse range of plant fibers to feed those bacteria, they may not survive long enough to make a difference.
Protein Powders
Most protein powders are loaded with fillers, artificial ingredients, or single plant sources, offering little to no microbiome support. A clean, plant-based protein packed with fiber and nutrients is what your gut truly needs.
Fiber Supplements
Even fiber isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. A study revealed that single-ingredient fibers, like psyllium husk, don’t significantly nourish your gut microbiome. Why? Because they lack the diversity of fibers and nutrients needed to support the full spectrum of gut bacteria.
