Overview

You think your brain is running the show, but in reality, your gut is pulling the strings—controlling your mood, focus, and even decision-making without you realizing it.

Your Stomach’s Mind Control

• Your gut isn’t just digesting food—it’s controlling your mood, focus, and decision-making. Scientists call it the gut-brain axis, and ignoring it could be why you feel sluggish, foggy, or unfocused ₍₁₎.

• 95% of your serotonin (your brain’s “feel-good” neurotransmitter) is made in your gut. Poor gut health? Expect low energy, bad moods, and mental fatigue ₍₂₎.

• Inflammation in your gut = inflammation in your brain. Processed foods and gut imbalances increase brain fog and slow reaction time ⁽³⁾.

• The right probiotics, fiber, and polyphenols can improve dopamine & serotonin regulation, leading to better mood, sharper focus, and faster thinking _(4).

What ‘IF’..? Challenge

Your gut bacteria are either helping you thrive or turning you into a bloated, brain-fogged, mood-swinging mess. The good news? You can start resetting your microbiome in just 24 hours

Reset Your Gut Health

 ✔️ Step 1: Cut the Gut Killers
For the next 24 hours, ditch ultra-processed foods, seed oils, and artificial sweeteners—aka, everything your gut bacteria hate. If it has 27 ingredients you can’t pronounce, it’s out.

✔️ Step 2: Load Up on Prebiotics & Probiotics
Your gut thrives on fiber and fermented foods. Eat things like kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, Greek yogurt, or a high-quality probiotic supplement. Bonus points if you chug bone broth like a Viking.

✔️ Step 3: Go 12+ Hours Without Food
Your gut needs time to clean house. Try a 12-16 hour fast (yes, even skipping breakfast) to give your microbiome a break and trigger gut repair.

✔️ Step 4: Hydrate Like a Champ
Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water—bonus points if you add electrolytes or sip green tea with polyphenols (your gut bacteria LOVE this).

What IF..?

Fixing your gut will make you feel sharper, happier, and more energized than you have in years! Try it for just one day—your microbiome will thank you..
