38 trillion reasons your gut feels off

38 trillion reasons your gut feels off

Hey Movers 👋

Let’s get nerdy for a second — because your gut is home to around 38 trillion microbes. That’s more bacteria than human cells in your entire body. Wild, right?

This microscopic army — your gut microbiome — does way more than just digest food. They help:

✔ Regulate your immune system

✔ Produce key vitamins and neurotransmitters (hello serotonin)

✔ Protect your gut lining

✔ Influence mood, metabolism, even skin health

But here’s where it gets messy…

When the balance between your “good” and “bad” bacteria shifts (called dysbiosis if we want to sound smart), things can start to spiral:

😬 Bloating & gas

😴 Fatigue & brain fog

🌡 Low-grade inflammation

🥴 Food sensitivities

🧁 Sugar cravings

💩 Digestive drama (constipation, diarrhoea, IBS-like symptoms)

👉 What throws your microbiome out of whack?

  • Low-fibre diets (your microbes are starving!)
  • Antibiotics (they wipe out the good guys too)
  • Chronic stress (yes, your bacteria are stressed too)
  • Lack of sleep (even your microbes have circadian rhythms)
  • Excess sugar, alcohol & processed junk

 

👉 How to rebuild the balance:

🥦 Feed your microbes:

  • Prebiotics (the fibre your good bacteria snack on): garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, inulin
  • High-fibre foods: veg, beans, oats, flaxseed, chia
  • Fermented foods: yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi (aka, microbe party starters)

 

🦠 Reinforce the troops:

  • Probiotics — live beneficial bacteria that help restore balance. (Yes — like the ones in our formulas 🙋♀️)

🧘♀️ Set the vibe:

  • Sleep 7–9 hours
  • Move your body
  • Manage stress (yoga, breathing, walking, punching pillows… whatever works)

 

👉 Gut fact: Your microbes can shift within days based on your diet and habits. Which means: change IS possible. And your gut will thank you for it.

Need a little backup? That’s where we come in. Gutd is designed to help feed, balance and strengthen your gut — from fibre to probiotics and everything in between.

Your 38 trillion roommates will thank you.

Stay balanced,

— Team Gutd 💚
