Gut Health
Food pattern first, not supplement first. The principle is diversity, not the exact count.
Gut health rewards consistent variety — a wide range of plants, daily fermented foods, fewer ultra-processed foods — more than it rewards specific protocols, expensive testing, or branded supplements. The microbiome behaves as an ecosystem, not a parts list: what you feed it and how you treat it matters more than which microbes you try to add or remove. The Roadmap below sequences the food-pattern basics first and reserves specialized interventions for the cases that need them — with gastroenterology consultation, not online protocols.
Step 1 (Built on consistent patterns across expert discussions)
Eat 30 different plant species per week
The single most memorable target for gut microbiome diversity. Plants count across all categories: vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, herbs and spices. The American Gut Project found that participants hitting 30+ different plants per week had measurably more diverse gut microbiomes than those eating 10 or fewer. The number is a useful target rather than a magic threshold — the principle is variety, not exact count. Plants you already eat count; small additions (a tablespoon of mixed seeds on breakfast, a different bean each week, herbs and spices) compound quickly.
