What is the microbiome?
- Your gut runs on trillions of microbes
- They control digestion, immunity, and vitamins
- They feed on plant fiber
- Modern diets have caused up to 50% loss in gut microbe diversity
Your gut bacteria needs prebiotic fiber to survive
Leading nutritionists and doctors recommend eating a variety of plants for prebiotics, which feed the good bacteria (probiotics) found in our gut and in foods like yogurt. Probiotics love to consume prebiotics, producing compounds that support digestion, brain, liver, and immune health.
The magic number is 30 plants per week
Research, specifically the American Gut Study, shows that weekly dietary plant diversity is the single greatest predictor of a healthy gut microbiome. 30 diverse plants per week are recommended including nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, fungi, and beans. Most people eat less than 10. It does not matter if you are an herbivore or carnivore. Instead of counting fiber and protein grams, make it fun by counting different plants at each meal.

Ready to feed your gut?
It's up to us to take control of our digestive health. We need prebiotic fiber from at least 30 diverse plants per week to create healthy bacteria in our diet and drive our overall health. The easier and more convenient this is, the better, given the stresses of modern life.
