Do you ever feel like gut health advice is overwhelming? From restrictive diets to complicated supplement regimes, it can feel impossible to start. The good news is, rebuilding your gut health doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire life. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference to your digestion, hormones, mood, and overall wellbeing.
Here are 3 simple ways to nourish your microbiome daily – no extremes needed.
1. Start Your Day with a Gut-Loving Ritual
Most of us reach straight for coffee first thing in the morning. While delicious, coffee on an empty stomach can irritate your gut lining or cause digestive discomfort in some people, particularly those with reflux or sensitive stomachs .
Adding our Low FODMAP Certified Cacao Latte to your morning coffee, or enjoying it as a coffee alternative, ensures your morning begins with a microbiome-friendly drink that soothes your gut while still feeling indulgent.
Why Cacao Latte matters for your gut:
-
Rich in polyphenols, cacao has been shown to increase beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.
-
Polyphenols can also reduce gut inflammation and support intestinal barrier integrity.
-
Prebiotic fibres in our formulation enhance microbiome diversity, crucial for hormone balance, immunity, and mood.
Over a few weeks, this simple addition of Cacao Latte to your morning routine may support:
-
Improved gut microbiome diversity
-
Strengthened intestinal barrier and reduced gut inflammation
-
Increased satiety hormones (CKK, GLP-1), supporting appetite regulation
-
Reduced post-meal blood glucose spikes and insulin load
-
Boosted levels of beneficial Bifidobacterium
-
Enhanced sleep quality and morning motivation through the calming effects of theobromine
-
Ease in symptoms of stress and anxiety, naturally
Try our Low FODMAP Cacao Latte – soothing, nourishing, and delicious.
2. Add a Daily Microbiome Rebuilder
Modern diets are often low in the diverse fibres our microbiome thrives on. Without these, beneficial bacteria struggle to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate – essential for gut barrier integrity, hormonal balance, and inflammation control.
That’s why adding Microbiome Essentials is such an effortless win. Just one scoop daily feeds your gut bacteria with prebiotic fibres and polyphenols they love, promoting diversity and resilience in your microbiome.
Clinically proven benefits include:
-
Reduced reflux symptoms by modulating gut microbiota and intestinal inflammation
-
Increased production of SCFAs, improving gut lining health and reducing systemic inflammation
-
Enhanced microbial diversity, linked to improved immunity, mood regulation, and hormonal balance
Enjoy Microbiome Essentials daily by adding a tablespoon to yoghurt, oats, smoothies, or baking it into a delicious peach crumble for extra gut-loving fibre.

3. Prioritise Rest & Digest Moments
When we eat on the run, distracted, or stressed, our digestive system doesn’t function optimally. This can lead to bloating, discomfort, and poor nutrient absorption. Stress also negatively alters the gut microbiome, reducing beneficial bacteria and increasing gut permeability.
Try this: before each meal, take 3-5 slow, conscious breaths to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (‘rest and digest’ mode). It signals your body that it’s safe to break down and absorb nutrients efficiently.
Pair mindful eating with our Gut + Hormone blend to nourish your gut while supporting hormonal balance. Our key actives, including kiwifruit extract and specific polyphenols, have also been shown to enhance protein digestion, improve bowel motility, and support hormonal harmony.
Discover Gut + Hormone – your daily blend for hormonal harmony and gut health.
Rebuilding your gut health doesn’t have to be complicated. By adding a gut-loving morning ritual, feeding your microbiome with the right fibres, and slowing down at mealtimes, you’re laying powerful foundations for better digestion, mood, hormones, and overall wellbeing.
