Every April, Earth Month invites us to pause and consider our relationship with the planet. We think about climate, pollution, sustainability—but how often do we think about microbes? These invisible allies, often overlooked, are the true stewards of life on Earth. They live beneath our feet, within our bodies, and in every breath we take. And they are crucial to both personal and planetary health.
We all try to make better choices: opting for whole foods, cutting back on sugar, and maybe even choosing organic. But hidden in even the most “healthy” foods are invisible disruptors that can silently wreak havoc on your gut health, metabolism, and immune function.
Growing your own food is rewarding—but did you know it can also improve digestion? Certain vegetables and herbs naturally support gut health by balancing bacteria, aiding digestion, and reducing bloating? Many vegetables and herbs contain fiber, enzymes, and plant compounds that help balance gut bacteria, encourage smooth digestion, and reduce bloating.
Did you know that a simple jar of fermented cabbage can contain more probiotics than a bottle of store-bought supplements? Fermentation isn’t just an ancient tradition—it’s a science-backed way to boost your gut health.
