PREBIOTICS
Prebiotics, not to be confused with probiotics, are plant fibers that help healthy bacteria grow in your gut which makes your digestive system work better. More prebiotics = more good bacteria! Did we mention we love good bacteria?!
PROBIOTICS
Probiotics are a mixture of live bacteria and/or yeast that lives in our bodies (not as gross as it sounds i promise). They help balance the good bacteria in your digestive system. Not to mention have abso-boochly amazing health benefits.
SLEEP
Trouble sleeping? Drink a booch! Gut bacteria is also linked to influencing normal sleep patterns by helping create important chemical messengers in the brain like dopamine and serotonin which are both involved in your sleep-wake pattern. And here I was popping two melatonins a night!
STRESS REDUCTION
Did you know stress can affect your gut? And it goes both ways! This is all part of the gut-brain connection. Have you ever heard of an anxious stomach? The gut microbiota plays a role in stress responding through communication between the vagus nerve and neurotransmitter release.
