Gut inflammation can start with the oil you cook in.

A hundred years ago our great grandparents had never heard of soybean oil.

Their kitchens ran on traditional fats, and the refined seed oils that fill the standard American diet today simply did not exist yet.

Soybean, corn, canola and peanut oil go through heavy heat, deodorizing and filtering before they ever reach your pan.

That processing damages the fats, and damaged fats create oxidative stress that uses up your body’s stores of vitamin C and vitamin E.

The better choices are coconut oil, cold-pressed olive oil and good-quality avocado oil.

I reach for avocado oil for most cooking because the flavor is so neutral, and I save olive oil for dressings.

If you love fried fish, try grilling it and breading it yourself so you control what it’s cooked in.

Skip “fine.” How are you actually doing today?

I ask every patient this before we look at a single lab.

Stress raises cortisol, and cortisol touches your gut health, your sleep, and your energy levels. A large share of your serotonin is made in your gut, so the gut and brain are in constant conversation.

Comment 1 if you’re doing great, 2 if you’re okay, 3 if it’s a hard time right now.

If you’re a 3, you’re not alone here. Share this with someone who needs to check in today.

Your energy levels start to change the week you commit to one habit you can keep on your worst day.

Marcia Wieder said it best: "Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer."

Here are five commitments worth making this week.

Walk for ten minutes after dinner, because gentle movement supports digestion and lifts your mood.

Fill half your plate with vegetables, since fiber and antioxidants help ease inflammation and feed your gut bacteria.

Take five slow breaths whenever stress spikes, because cortisol, your main stress hormone, responds to your breathing.

Keep a regular bedtime, since sleep anchors hormone balance and sharpens your thinking the next day.

Give yourself one evening of rest each week without guilt, because recovery is part of the plan.

This is the list I give patients who feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.
Drop a 🖐️ in the comments if you are choosing one of these this week.

Halloween is almost here, and there is still room for a gut health win that feels festive.

Bell peppers are exceptionally rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps the body handle oxidative stress, and they make a sturdy and colorful little bowl for a fresh salad.

Filling them with crisp vegetables adds fiber, which feeds the beneficial bacteria in your microbiome and keeps digestion running smoothly.

This is the kind of meal I love to see on the table because plant variety is one of the simplest ways to support gut health, and a plate that looks like a friendly monster makes variety easy.

Silly faces have a way of getting everyone curious about their vegetables, from the little ones to the grown ups who need a nudge after a long day.

It is also a fun option to have on hand before the candy bowl takes over the rest of the week.

Your gut health can start repairing with six habits that cost almost nothing.

Fill your plate with colorful vegetables, because each color brings fiber and antioxidants that feed a different strain of gut bacteria.

Add fiber from beans, lentils, chia and flax, since fiber feeds beneficial bacteria and keeps digestion regular.

Spoon sauerkraut or kimchi alongside meals, because fermented foods bring live probiotics that support your microbiome.

Cut back on processed foods and added sugar, which can upset the balance of gut bacteria and feed inflammation.

Calm your stress response with slow breathing, yoga or time outside, because the gut-brain axis, the two-way line between your gut and your brain, responds to every tense day.

Sip water through the day and keep moving, since hydration protects the gut lining and gentle activity keeps digestion steady.

When patients ask where to begin, I hand them this exact list.

Which of these six will you try this week? Tell me in the comments.

18g of fiber in one bowl is the kind of gut health detail that makes dinner so much easier.

Thistle's new Roast Pork Supper brings 48g of protein and 10g of fiber, while the Crispy Tofu Bibimbap delivers 51g of protein with kimchi and purple rice on the side.

Both are the kind of meal that makes a busy weeknight feel handled.

Gut health gets so much easier when a snack is already made and waiting in the fridge.

Sakara just added Spiced Apple and Matcha Vanilla Overnight Oats to the Signature Nutrition Program, and the oats, chia and live cultures make them a smart thing to reach for between meals.

A fridge that already has your next snack in it does half the work for you.

Your skin may be telling you something about your gut health.

Many of us have seen our skin look brighter after a stretch of whole foods and then break out after a weekend of foods our gut does not love.

That pattern is the gut-skin connection at work. The microbiome influences inflammation and how well we absorb the nutrients our skin relies on, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and omega-3 fats.

When the gut is inflamed, those signals can reach the skin and may contribute to concerns like acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea, which is why a root cause approach starts with gut health.

Many of us have tried yet another serum when the answer was sitting in our gut all along.

The full post covers gut healing strategies, from fiber-rich foods and a rainbow of vegetables to the stress and sleep habits that support a healthy microbiome.
