🌍 Happy Earth Day, Friends! 🌱
Today, we celebrate this beautiful planet we call home—and reflect on the simple, powerful choices we can make to honor both the Earth and our gut health 🌿
Here are a few of my favorite Earth- and gut-loving practices you can start today:
🌱 Choose Local, Organic & Regenerative Foods
What’s good for the soil is good for your microbiome! Organic and regeneratively grown foods reduce harmful pesticide exposure—protecting your gut microbes and supporting a more diverse, resilient gut. And by supporting local organic farmers, you're nourishing your body with nutrient-dense foods and strengthening your community.
🥗 Eat More Plant Diversity A diverse diet = a diverse microbiome, which is key for vibrant health. Aim for 25–30+ different plant foods each week to feed your gut bugs and promote balance. Try adding 1–3 new fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, or grains weekly to expand your diversity naturally!
🚰 Ditch Plastic When You Can
This one’s big! Single-use plastics harm our oceans and leach toxins that can disrupt hormones and damage the gut lining. Switch to glass, stainless steel, or bamboo whenever possible. Store leftovers in glass containers and cut back on plastic baggies—small shifts add up!
Let’s keep planting seeds of wellness—for ourselves, our communities, and our world. 💚🌏
With gratitude for this Earth and the miracles it provides,
