4 Ways to Maintain Gut Health During Summer Travel

During the busy summer travel season, prioritizing gut health is crucial. Here are some tips to help maintain a healthy gut this summer:

1. Begin with a Gut Reset: Before your trip, consider trying my FREE 3-Day Gut Reset. This plan involves following a clean diet of blended soups, smoothies, bone broth, and cooked meats and veggies to reduce bloating and promote a healthy microbiome. It also serves as a great way to reset your gut upon returning home.

I have created this program based on the diets I recommend to my clients to help improve their gut health. One of the key aspects of gut health is increasing fiber intake, which can aid in supporting and restoring beneficial gut bacteria. When the gut is compromised, digesting fiber can become difficult, leading many people to avoid fiber consumption altogether. However, this creates a shortage of food (fiber) to nourish and support the beneficial bacteria. By adding fiber to blended soups, it becomes much easier for the gut to process, resulting in reduced bloating and discomfort, while still providing the necessary nutrients to support good bacteria.

2. Take Supplements: I always bring probiotics and digestive enzymes with me when traveling. Probiotics help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, while enzymes assist in digesting foods that may differ from your usual diet. Both of these can be helpful in mitigating any negative side effects of travel.

3. Stay Hydrated: Remember to hydrate yourself properly while on the move. Aim to drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily, and consider adding electrolytes occasionally for better hydration.

4. Stock up on Gut-Healthy Foods: Prepare gut-healthy foods such as bone broth and blended soups from the 3-Day Gut Reset and store them in the freezer to have readily available when you return home.
