Farming Your Microbiome

Fermented foods like kimchi and kefir deliver living bacteria to your gut, but those organisms tend to pass through unless they have something to eat. Garlic, onions, and green bananas supply prebiotic fiber that selectively feeds beneficial species. Pairing probiotics with prebiotics helps those bacteria settle in and multiply.

Your microbiome shifts within 48 hours of dietary change. Every meal votes for which bacteria dominate.

Consistency matters more than occasional supplements. Regular prebiotic feeding builds stable beneficial populations.
