How's your microbiome?

Supporting your digestive wellness is one of the most empowering steps you can take for your overall health. While fiber plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health, nurturing the right variety of beneficial bacteria – known as probiotics – is equally important for your body's natural balance.

As a Knew Health Member, you have access to a 35% discount on MSRP for over 20,000 supplements, including probiotic options. But we also believe in the power of getting these beneficial bacteria naturally through the foods you love! Our Community knows that making mindful dietary choices is an essential part of your holistic wellness journey – and we're here to support you every step of the way.

You'll find probiotics in many delicious fermented foods – from vegetables to soybeans and beyond. These foods are key to diversifying the healthy bacteria in your gut, helping you feel your best from the inside out. Here are four of our Community favorites:

Yogurt: This familiar favorite is probably the most accessible probiotic food, but choosing the right one matters! Look for yogurt with active or live cultures and minimal additives and sugars – heavily processed varieties won't provide the same benefits. Here's a helpful tip: If you're taking antibiotics, yogurt can be a wonderful way to help your body maintain the right bacterial balance and minimize any unwanted side effects.

Miso: This versatile Japanese seasoning brings both incredible flavor and numerous wellness benefits to your table. Made from fermented soybeans, miso adds depth to soups, salads, and marinades. Ready to give it a try? Our healthy miso soup recipe is a perfect place to start incorporating this nutritious ingredient into your meals!

Kimchi: This traditional Korean side dish, made from fermented cabbage, brings a delightful tang to salads, rice bowls, or virtually any protein. If kimchi doesn't suit your taste preferences, pickles are another excellent option! Just ensure they've been naturally brined in salt water rather than vinegar to preserve those beneficial probiotics.

Kombucha: While tea alone offers wonderful health benefits (as we shared in our blog ), fermented tea takes wellness to another level! Kombucha typically starts with fermented black or green tea combined with natural herbs and flavorings – creating a powerhouse of health benefits. We encourage you to check labels carefully, as some brands include excessive additives and sugars that may work against your gut health goals.
