Discover how plant foods boost gut health and digestion. When it talks about gut health and plant foods, it’s embracing a dietary pattern that feeds a diverse community of gut microbes, supports regular digestion, and helps you feel more energized. A colorful mix of fiber-rich vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds provides a wide range of fermentable fibers. As these fibers are broken down by your microbiome, they produce short-chain fatty acids that nourish the colon, help regulate inflammation, and improve bowel function. You’ll find surprising links between fiber, your microbiome, and digestion, and small, sustainable changes—like adding a plant-based protein to meals or swapping refined grains for whole grains—can shift your gut health over time. Practical tips to eat more plants include batch cooking, batch-prepping fiber-rich meals, and seasoning crops with herbs and spices to keep meals tasty and plant-forward.
Inside InnerBuddies, you’ll find a powerful white-label Gut Health Operating System designed to power gut microbiome testing products at scale. This modular platform centers on a Gut Microbiome Health Index—an 0-to-100 score that indicates overall gut health based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia—and a rich set of data features. You can compare your Bacteria abundances from a top 40 bacteria panel against a healthy cohort, and review Bacteria functions that are labeled as positive or negative to see how you stack up on key metabolic pathways. The system also offers Target Group analysis—deep dives into microbiome patterns relevant for specific goals like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health—so insights can be tailored to real-world objectives.
With personalized nutrition guidance, InnerBuddies translates stool and 3-day food diary data into practical, plant-friendly recommendations. The platform provides tailored nutrition advice and suggests probiotic and prebiotic strains aligned with your unique gut microbiome profile, helping you optimize how plant foods influence digestion and overall well-being. This blend of actionable plant-based guidance and precise microbiome analytics makes it easier to turn knowledge about gut health and plant foods into everyday choices.
