Bloating? Low Energy? Sugar Cravings? Here's how to support better digestion.

How to Strengthen Your Defenses from the Inside Out by Supporting Better Digestion

Over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. Discover how a healthier gut could be the key to fewer colds, better digestion, and more energy.

You might not realize it, but your gut and immune system are deeply connected.

In fact, most of your immune cells live in your gut lining, making digestive health one of the most important parts of staying healthy.

If you’re tired of feeling run-down, bloated, or find yourself getting sick often, it might be time to look at what’s going on in your gut and how you can support better digestion.

Why the Gut and Immune System Are So Closely Linked

Your digestive tract isn’t just for food—it’s the foundation of your immune defense.

Here’s why:*†

• 70–80% of your immune cells live in your gut lining
  
• Your gut houses trillions of bacteria (called the microbiome) that help defend against harmful invaders
• A strong gut barrier helps keep out toxins, viruses, and inflammation
• Your gut helps regulate immune signals that tell your body how to respond to threats

When your gut is healthy, your immune system runs smoothly. But when your microbiome is off, or your gut lining is weak, you may experience more illness, inflammation, fatigue, or digestive trouble.

Not Sure If Your Gut Is to Blame?

Your gut health doesn’t just show up as stomach issues. It can affect your whole body.

So much of your immune system lives in your gut, even small imbalances can lead to noticeable symptoms.

Here are some common signs that your gut may be affecting your immune health:*†

• Ongoing digestive trouble – Bloating, gas, constipation, or reflux might point to a gut microbiome that’s out of balance.
• Getting sick often – If you're catching every cold that goes around or your cuts take forever to heal, your gut could be weakening your immune defenses.
• Low energy that won’t go away – When your gut isn’t absorbing nutrients well, you may feel drained even after a full night’s sleep.
• Food reactions or sensitivities – Trouble digesting certain foods—or discomfort after eating—can be a sign your gut lining isn’t doing its job.
• Skin acting up – Breakouts, rashes, or eczema may actually start in the gut, especially when inflammation is involved.
• Mood dips and irritability – Your gut makes many of your mood-regulating chemicals, imbalances can lead to stress, anxiety, or mood swings.
• Cravings for sugar or junk food – An overgrowth of bad gut bacteria can trigger intense cravings for the foods they feed on.

If any of these sound like you, there’s good news! Your gut can heal. Here’s how to start supporting it naturally →
