Hispanolistic via Getty Images Attaining a healthy gut microbiome has long been all the rage in the wellness world, but now it seems everyone else — including countless TikTokers — has become obsessed. “It’s not just bacteria — it’s also the chemicals they’re producing,” the founder of London’s The Gut Health Clinic said. “Studies have shown that if we’re adding in plenty of different types of plants, we’re actually going to have much better gut health than people who fixate on cutting out what they think is the bad food.” For those worried about having to forage for twigs and berries to fulfill their gut’s needs, Rossi explained that when she says “plants,” she is specifically referring to six different and reasonably accessible groups she calls “the super six”: whole grains, nuts and seeds, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and herbs and spices. once people nail that I think, OK, are you getting something from the ‘super six’ most days?” She added that many people aren’t getting enough of certain plants, like legumes. “If we want this diverse range of bacteria in our gut, which has shown to have a diverse range of skills and, kind of like super powers, then we need to feed them that diverse range of fertilizers, otherwise they’ll die off — they won’t grow.” We also discussed how our favorite vices, like alcohol and weed, might be affecting our microbiomes, whether probiotic supplements actually do anything for our guts and much more: Advertisement
