Your gut lining is one cell thick.
That's all that separates the bacteria and toxins in your intestines from your bloodstream.
Gut inflammation attacks your joints, energy levels and immune system.
Here’s how improve your gut health today:

Here’s how improve your gut health today:

1) Swap NSAIDS for Bone Broth
Ibuprofen damages the intestinal lining.
Start your morning with bone broth instead.
It's loaded with glycine, proline, and glutamine. The exact amino acids your gut lining AND joints use to repair itself.

2) Collagen peptides daily
Collagen provides the amino acids your gut lining is made of.
We don’t eat nose to tail anymore, so we don't get enough collagen as a % of protein intake.
It’s cheap and provides the raw material for your gut to rebuild.

3) At least one fermented food daily.
Your gut microbiome needs live bacteria to function. Fermented foods deliver them directly.
Best options: yogurt, kimchi, kefir, sauerkraut, pickles.
Or a lower sugar version of Kombucha.

4) Limit Glyphosate exposure
Glyphosate destroys healthy gut bacteria.
From refined grains to fruits and veggies, this one’s hard to avoid completely.
Wash thoroughly and prioritize organic for the highest-exposure items like oats, berries, and leafy greens.

5) Stop eating at least 2 hours before bed
Your gut repairs while you sleep.
But late-night eating means you are digesting overnight while it should be resting.
This will improve gut health and allow for deeper sleep and recovery.

6) Take Glycine before bed
Glycine is used to build collagen.
3-5 grams 30-60 minutes before you sleep improves sleep quality by calming the brain and nervous system.
Deeper sleep + the building blocks for the gut = maximum gut repair.

7) Make sleep a priority
Cortisol from stress directly increases intestinal permeability.
Chronic poor sleep elevates cortisol leading to leaky gut and inflammation.
When in doubt, get to bed earlier to improve recovery.
