KEY POINTS

Did you know your gut health plays a huge role in your immunity? It’s true! 70% of your immune system lives in your gut.

So, what can you do to give your gut the love it deserves?

Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and Jayne Williams suggest to start by ditching the processed junk and sugary drinks. Your body (and immune system) will thank you!

Instead, focus on nourishing your gut with real, whole foods. Think vibrant veggies, colorful fruits, and wholesome grains. Aim for at least 30 different plants per week to give your gut a diverse and happy microbiome.

Your gut isn’t the only thing impacting your immunity.

Get your blood work done to check for any nutrient deficiencies. It’s like a roadmap to your health, revealing what your body needs to thrive.

And remember, variety is the spice of life (and your gut health!). Don’t be afraid to experiment with new recipes and discover delicious, nutrient-rich foods you might have never tried before.
