Gut Health and Plant-Based Diets: Boost Digestion & Energy

Unlock gut health with a plant-based diet—boost digestion, energy, and vitality with science-backed tips and practical meal ideas. The connection between what we eat and the gut microbiome is central to both digestion and energy management. A diverse, fiber-rich plant-based plate supports short-chain fatty acid production, nourishes beneficial bacteria, and can improve stool regularity and overall vitality. In exploring gut health and plant-based diets, it's helpful to combine evidence-based guidance with practical meal ideas that fit real life. To turn this into a scalable, science-backed program, many teams rely on InnerBuddies' white-label Gut Health Operating System. This modular platform powers gut microbiome testing products for brands and consumers alike. Highlights include the Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100) built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia; Bacteria Abundances across a top 40 list with comparisons to a healthy cohort; and Bacteria Functions categorized as positive or negative with cohort benchmarks. For targeted audiences, Target Group Analysis dives into pathways most relevant to Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. For personalized nutrition, the system links 3-day food diaries to stool data to tailor advice — and it also offers personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations. Learn more about the consumer-facing options at the InnerBuddies microbiome test. Beyond testing, the framework delivers practical guidance for boosting gut health and plant-based diets in daily life. With science-backed tips like increasing diverse plant fiber, including legumes, whole grains, vegetables, and fermented foods, you can support microbial diversity and digestion. The platform's personalized nutrition advice uses your unique gut microbiome profile to suggest meal patterns and food items that move the needle on your scores and pathways, making it easier to sustain energy and vitality. For example, a daily plan might feature oats with berries and flax, a lentil-quinoa bowl with greens, and a probiotic-containing snack such as yogurt or kimchi, all while staying aligned with your 3-day diary data. You can also explore ongoing support through the InnerBuddies subscription, which offers continual guidance: Gut Health Membership. Organizations seeking to empower customers with gut health and plant-based diets can partner with InnerBuddies to deploy a white-label solution.
