Top-3 Best & Worst Things For Your Gut Microbiome
Welcome back to Fitness Stuff for Normal People with Marianna and Tony—where we make the confusing parts of health and fitness make sense. In this episode, we’re digging into one of the most underrated parts of your body: your gut microbiome. Most people think it’s just about digestion, but this wild ecosystem of over 100 trillion bacteria is actually running the show behind the scenes—impacting everything from your sleep and immune system to your cravings, metabolism, and even how you think and feel. In this episode, we’re breaking down the top 3 best and worst things you’re doing for your gut, and most of them have nothing to do with food. If you’ve ever felt like something’s been off or harder than it should be, this one might connect the dots. Stick around—it’s one of those episodes that just makes everything click.
