However, if you’re already on board with this, but don’t have a lot of spare time to spend geeking out, here are our top five down and dirty, quick ways to get your gut healthy and build the foundation for conception and a healthy baby:
ONE: It’s all about what you eat.
The science says that you can change the bacteria in your gut (the microbiota) in as little as 24 hours with what you eat. Step one is to stay away from processed foods and added sweeteners as they are likely to create imbalance, especially if eaten repeatedly.
