If you loved my Top 10 Fermented Foods video, buckle up—because we’re about to turn your gut health game into a daily ritual of radiant vitality.

For women over 40, the gut isn’t just the center of digestion. It’s your hormone whisperer, mood stabilizer, and metabolism reset button. And when it’s out of balance? Hello, bloating, brain fog, fatigue, and stubborn weight.

Let’s fix that.

This daily gut health routine is simple, sustainable, and packed with Body Ecology products I use and trust. Let’s walk through it—morning to night.

🌞 1. Rise & Cleanse: Warm Water + Liquid Probiotics

Why it matters: Your digestive system is most receptive first thing in the morning. Instead of reaching for coffee, start with a glass of warm lemon water and a tablespoon of liquid probiotic, such as Body Ecology’s InnergyBiotic or CocoBiotic.

💧 Pro Tip: Add a pinch of pink salt for trace minerals and adrenal support. ➡️ Try InnergyBiotic here

🍓 2. Breakfast Boost: Kefir, Chia, & Cultured Goodness

Build a breakfast that feeds your microbiome. Try my Coconut Cream Chia Pudding and top it with a drizzle of coconut kefir. It's not weird—just wildly effective.

🧪 Why kefir? It’s rich in bioavailable B vitamins and short-chain fatty acids that heal and nourish the gut lining. ➡️ Body Ecology Coconut Kefir Starter Kit

🥗 3. Midday Meal Magic: Add Enzymes & Ferments

Your biggest meal of the day should be digestion-friendly.

✨ Do this:

Add 2 tbsp of Body Ecology’s Cultured Veggies to your salad or protein bowl.
Take Assist Full Spectrum Digestive Enzymes with your meal to break down proteins, fats, and carbs efficiently.

🧘‍♀️ Less bloating. More nutrients. Happy gut. ➡️ Assist Enzymes

🌙 4. Evening Wind-Down: Protein & Probiotics

Instead of a sugary dessert or carb-heavy snack, finish your day with a scoop of Body Ecology’s Probiotic Protein Shake in almond milk or a kefir base.

Why?🔹 It supports overnight repair.🔹 Helps curb sugar cravings.🔹 Fuels the gut with gentle prebiotics + live cultures. ➡️ Probiotic Protein Shake

🧘‍♀️ 5. Weekly Reset: Fermented Gut Cleanse Day

Give your digestive system a chance to reset without starving it.

Once a week, try:

A light intermittent fast until noon
Hydration with lemon water and coconut kefir
A warm mineral-rich broth with fermented veggie juice for lunch

This gentle reset supports autophagy, lowers inflammation, and rebalances your microbiome, without the burnout of a complete cleanse.
