ADVICE

Buy Supplements Only With Matching Trials

  • Before buying a supplement, ask if that exact formulation has a human, placebo-controlled clinical trial showing your desired benefit.
  • If no trial exists, prefer alternatives with stronger evidence or clinical guidance.
ADVICE

Skip Juice Cleanses; Opt For Small Changes

  • Avoid extreme cleanses and juice-only 'detoxes' because they remove fiber and starve gut microbes, risking mucus erosion and symptoms.
  • Make small, sustained dietary changes and allow at least 4–12 weeks to see gut-related benefits.
ADVICE

Practical 9‑Minute Gut-Friendly Meals

  • Use cheap, high-fiber convenience hacks: add a can of beans to a takeaway or frozen veg to smoothies for instant microbiome benefit.
  • Keep frozen vegetables, mixed beans and pre-cut veg in the kitchen to make gut-friendly meals in minutes.
