Biome was built to give your gut reliable, science-backed support. But no supplement—no matter how well-formulated—can do it all on its own. Real gut health happens over time. It’s something you build into your days, little by little.
Below are some simple, evidence-aligned habits that work with Biome to help reinforce the system it’s supporting.
1. Keep your meals simple.
Your gut does best with consistency and clarity—not confusion. Heavy, ultra-processed meals, erratic eating windows, or overloading your system with too many new foods at once can throw off digestive rhythm.
Opt for meals that are easy to break down: well-cooked proteins, softened vegetables, and moderate, familiar fiber sources. If your gut is sensitive, repetition isn’t boring—it’s therapeutic.
2. Drink more water than you think you need.
Hydration keeps everything moving. Without enough water, digestion slows down, absorption gets spotty, and transit time drags out. Plus, probiotics—like those in Biome—depend on water to reach the intestines effectively. Don’t overthink it—just keep a glass nearby and refill often.
3. Move gently, but often.
Gut motility (how things move through your system) depends on more than just food. Gentle daily movement—like walking after meals, stretching, or just getting up from your desk—can stimulate peristalsis and circulation. It doesn’t take much, but it does need to be regular.
4. Respect your stress levels.
The gut-brain axis is real, and stress has a direct line to your digestion. Chronic stress can slow gastric emptying, increase gut permeability (“leaky gut”), and even shift your microbial balance. You don’t have to meditate for an hour a day—just do something to create space: deep breathing, stepping outside, silence without a screen. Even five minutes matters.
5. Sleep like it’s part of your treatment plan.
Good sleep isn’t just restorative—it’s regulatory. Your gut microbes operate on a rhythm, just like you do. When sleep is fragmented or inconsistent, it can impact microbiome diversity and immune function. Keep your sleep as steady as your supplement routine.
6. Ease up on sugar and alcohol.
Both sugar and alcohol disrupt microbial balance and feed the less helpful strains. If your goal is stability, reducing intake becomes a powerful way to support a healthier, more resilient gut environment.
7. Be boring—and consistent.
This is the hard part. Real gut change doesn’t come from trying five things at once or chasing the next fix. It comes from doing a few small things well, over and over. Biome is designed to be part of that rhythm. If you let it, your body will adapt and adjust in ways you can feel—maybe slowly at first, but steadily over time.
Biome lays the groundwork, but your habits reinforce the structure. Small, repeatable choices—done daily—can shift your gut health in a real and sustainable way.
