5 Ways to Get a Gut of Steel
Now is the time to not only love your gut but ramp it up. We need to "steel" it and make it as ironclad as possible. A gut that’s steeled for the fight against sickness, bacteria, viruses, weight gain, and low mood will keep you fit, strong, and happy.
To help you get started, we’re sharing five quick, actionable tips to reinforce your inner ecosystem today.
Your "Gut of Steel" Checklist
| The Tip | Why it Works | Daily Action |
| 1. Double-Up Hydration | Flushes toxins & assists fiber. | Sip warm water throughout the day. |
| 2. Prioritize Fiber | Ends bloating & constipation. | Add avocado or lentils to lunch. |
| 3. Pre & Probiotics | Feeds the "Good Bacteria." | Include kefir or sauerkraut daily. |
| 4. The "32-Chew" Rule | Pre-digests food for less gas. | Chew every bite until it loses texture. |
| 5. Clean the System | Removes waste build-up. | Use Love Your Gut Powder. |
1. Double-Up on Hydration
Really try to increase your hydration. Water, fresh juices, herbal teas, and smoothies are great to include in your diet. To help your gut stay steeled, try to cut down on coffee and black or green teas, which can be dehydrating.
Pro Tip: Have water at hand so that you are always ready to drink it and sip it through the day. If you don’t like cold water, try warm water instead—it's often gentler on the digestive system!

2. Focus on Fibre-Rich Foods
Fibre is the "broom" that helps get things a-moving downstairs. Most of us don’t have enough fibre in our diets, which is a leading cause of bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea. Think pears, strawberries, avocados, lentils, and beans, or a good piece of fibre-rich bread.

3. Reinforce with Pre and Probiotics
These are now a must-have for reinforcing your gut environment and helping to grow your good bacteria in your inner ecosystem. Try to include more prebiotic-rich foods (like asparagus, sweet potato, and onions) and probiotic-rich foods (like yoghurt, kefir, and sauerkraut) into your diet.
The "Less is More" Rule: Eat smaller, more frequent meals to avoid overwhelming the GI tract. When it comes to good gut health, think less is more!
4. Chew Your Food (The 32-Times Rule)
Digestion starts in the mouth, not the stomach. Aim to chew your food at least 32 times before swallowing. The goal of chewing is to break down your food so it loses texture entirely. This simple habit prevents the gut from having to work overtime to break down large chunks of food, reducing gas and indigestion.
5. Double Your Dose of Love Your Gut (LYG)
To truly "steel" your gut, you need a clean foundation. We recommend up to 6 grams of Love Your Gut Powder a day (or 8 Capsules).
LYG’s job is to gently clean your system. This allows your gut to do its best work—dispersing nutrients and hydration to your organs and disposing of bad bacteria and waste. Additionally, LYG has a pH of 8, creating an alkaline environment—the ideal growing conditions for your microbiome to flourish.
