Let’s challenge what you thought you knew. Prebiotic fibre may be the true hero, feeding your gut so it thrives. Why prebiotic fibre matters:
1. Boosts microbial diversity
2. Produces short‑chain fatty acids (anti‑inflammatory)
3. Supports gut barrier & digestion
You don’t always need more bacteria; sometimes your gut needs smarter food that feeds the ones already there.

Most probiotic pills don’t increase overall gut microbial diversity, but prebiotics just might.
You might expect that taking a probiotic supplement will flood your gut with “good bacteria.” But research tells a different story: while probiotics can increase certain strains, they often lack impact on overall gut diversity or long-term microbiome health.
On the other hand, prebiotic fibres (from foods) can nourish many species at once, enhancing diversity and stimulating microbial communities. More diversity = better gut health!
Why does that matter?
A more diverse microbiome is linked to better digestion, lower inflammation, and improved immunity.
Let’s make this real:
Garlic, onion, leeks, asparagus, legumes, oats, barley, all these foods are natural prebiotics. If you don't tolerate these foods, start with very small amounts to encourage the growth of microbes to digest these fibres.
Try adding just one extra prebiotic food today!
Notice how your digestion, bloating or energy feels over a few days.

Feeding your gut with fibre might be more powerful than you think. Did you know that prebiotics (i.e. the fibre that feeds your gut bacteria) may actually be more helpful for gut healing than some probiotic supplements?
We live in a world selling “good bacteria in a pill.” But real change often happens in the diet, not just in capsules.
Here’s the science:
Prebiotics (such as inulin, resistant starch, fructooligosaccharides) travel through your small intestine undigested and reach your colon, where they feed beneficial microbes.
As these microbes ferment prebiotics, they produce short‑chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, which support gut barrier integrity, reduce inflammation, and nourish colon cells.

In contrast, many probiotic supplements provide only a few strains, and evidence is mixed on their long‑term colonisation or impact on healthy people.
So what can you do?
Focus on a variety of plant foods (grains, legumes, vegetables). Introduce prebiotic foods gradually.

Think beyond trendy pills, your best supplement might already be on your plate

I’d love to hear: what prebiotic foods do you enjoy already?
Let’s share ideas in the comments and learn from each other.

Every rumble, cramp or discomfort is your gut trying to speak. When you listen with curiosity and nourishment, you begin to rewrite your health story.
You don’t need perfection. You need nutritional consistency with your food.

Start your day with a breakfast that blends protein, fibre, and healthy fats.
✅ Think: eggs + wholegrain toast + avocado
✅ Or: Greek yogurt + berries + handful of nuts
Balanced meals help you feel full longer and avoid sugar crashes.
Tiny tweaks. Big difference.

High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) happens when glucose builds up in your bloodstream instead of being used by your cells more quickly.
It’s not just about sugar. It’s about how your whole system is processing food, stress, and sleep.
The problem isn’t willpower, it’s overload.

Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones inside us, gut issues, mood swings, and stress. But remember, every small choice you make, every fibre‑rich meal, every moment of calm adds up. You deserve the peace that comes from caring for your gut, because a healthier gut often means a lighter heart and clearer mind.
