GUT HEALTH

Written By Jeanine Weinkauf

🧠 The Gut-Brain Connection

Your gut has its own nervous system—called the enteric nervous system—and it produces nearly 90% of your serotonin, the neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, and even appetite.

This communication loop is called the gut-brain axis.
When your gut is off, your brain feels it—literally.

A healthy gut can lead to:

  • Improved mood + focus

  • Better sleep

  • Fewer cravings

  • Reduced stress response

🛡️ The Gut-Immune Axis

Did you know that 70–80% of your immune system lives in your gut?

Your digestive system is also your body’s first line of defense against illness, inflammation, and chronic disease. If your gut is inflamed or imbalanced, your immune system suffers too.

When your gut is healthy, your immune system can:

  • Better fight infection

  • Stay regulated (less overreacting)

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Protect against chronic issues

💊 Where Probiotics Come In

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help rebalance your microbiome.
They support the gut-brain-immune axis by:

  • Crowding out bad bacteria

  • Enhancing neurotransmitter production

  • Reinforcing your immune defenses

  • Reducing gut and systemic inflammation

🌿 Why I Recommend Biote’s Multistrain Probiotic

We love Biote’s Probiotic because it’s not just for digestion. It’s formulated to support:

✅ Gut health

🌱 Other Gut-Friendly Lifestyle Tips

Daily habits that help nourish your gut:

  • Eat fiber-rich foods (leafy greens, oats, legumes)

  • Include fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut

  • Limit sugar + processed foods

  • Stay hydrated

  • Prioritize sleep

  • Reduce stress (your gut feels your stress)

  • Take a quality probiotic (like Biote’s)
