Want to clean up your gut before 2026? Start with the habits that actually move the needle.

As a GI doctor, these are the 5 evidence-backed changes I have my patients focus on first👇

1️⃣ Add fiber gradually
2️⃣ Include fermented foods
3️⃣ Hydrate consistently
4️⃣ Prioritize sleep
5️⃣ Keep a regular eating schedule

Small daily shifts → big gut results.
Your microbiome can start changing in just a few weeks. 💫
