Gut Healing Smoothie

November 13, 20242 min read

Keeping your gut healthy and happy is one of the big secrets to good digestion, glowing skin, and increased energy. The more easy ways you have to incorporate recipes that reestablish a healthy intestinal flora, the better.

Having a smoothie loaded with beneficial microbes is a daily
addition to your diet that will get you awesome results over time.

I know personally if I go without my gut smoothie for a day, I find the biggest thing that changes is my mood. Gut health is directly linked to mood and brain health.

My Favorite Gut Healing Smoothie Ingredients

  • Ground flax - high in fiber and has a mucosal effect in the gut

  • Kefir or water kefir - contains diverse unique bacteria strains different from yogurt

  • Coconut yogurt or regular plain organic yogurt - high in beneficial bacteria

  • Berries - tasty, high in healthy fiber and antioxidants

  • Flax seed oil - for its ability to help lubricate the intestinal tract

  • Cod liver oil - for omega-3 and gut nourishing enzymes

  • Cinnamon - for its blood sugar-stabilizing effects

  • Banana - for its prebiotic power

Put these together and you’ve got yourself a super powerful smoothie for helping your gut get strong and healthy. And in turn, you help your whole body, and that’s what holistic health is all about!

What Metabolic Tests to Request and How to Decode The Results - The Guide

The 5 Numbers Your Doctor Calls "Normal" — But Aren't Optimal

If you've been told your labs look "fine" but you still feel tired, foggy, and not-quite-right, this is for you.

This free guide shows you:

  • The 5 numbers from one fasting blood draw that reveal insulin resistance — often years before standard markers catch it

  • Exactly which tests to request (most doctors won't offer them unless you ask)

  • What "optimal" actually looks like vs. the lab's wide "normal" range

  • The two free calculations (HOMA-IR and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio) most labs never run for you

No guesswork. No fear tactics. Just the numbers that actually tell the truth about your metabolic health.
