Your gut microbiome is a complex community of trillions (yes, trillions!) of bacteria and other microorganisms living in your digestive tract. But did you know that there are several unexpected factors that can impact your gut microbiome? 

Intuitive Eating promotes a healthy relationship with food by allowing people to eat when they’re hungry and stop when they’re full. This approach helps you regain trust in your body’s innate wisdom and aligns closely with Health at Every Size® (HAES) principles.

Have you ever had a "gut feeling" about something or felt butterflies in your stomach when you were nervous? That’s no coincidence—your gut and brain are deeply connected. On the whole, more information passes between your brain and your gut than any other body system.

HAES® emerged as a response to growing concerns over weight stigma and the harmful effects of diet culture. The approach challenges traditional views on weight and health, promotes wellness, and helps people regain trust in their bodies.

Your gut microbiome is a dynamic and essential part of your body, influencing everything from digestion to mental health. By understanding how it works and how your lifestyle affects it, you can take steps to support a healthy balance without resorting to restrictive diets.
