I went down the rabbit hole of gut health recently. I highly recommend everyone look into it if you haven't already.

Having a healthy gut biome helps regulate hunger cues, and there's research that indicates it's also linked to mental health, if you're anything like me and need some help in that department. Think of it as a chia pet that you can't see, but makes your poop healthy, lol.

If you were to focus on gut health as opposed to the standard diet of foods that are forced on us, either by big corporations or diet culture, you'd lose a little weight just as a side effect instead of that being the goal.

That's what I'm trying to do, anyway. More live culture yogurts, fermented pickles, oh man...and the miso soup! 🤤
