It’s World Microbiome Day!

Supporting Gut Diversity

Today, we’re joining the global celebration of the incredible community of microbes that live inside us—and the science that helps us understand them.

Microbiome 101: What You Need to Know

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes, and a diverse microbiome is associated with improved digestion, enhanced immunity, and overall better health.

One of the best ways to support gut diversity? Eat 30 or more different plant foods each week.

The landmark American Gut Project found that people who consumed more than 30 types of plants per week had more diverse and robust microbial communities compared to those who ate fewer than 10.

Here are some simple ways to hit that 30+ target:

• Spice it up – Add herbs and spices like basil, turmeric, and coriander to everyday meals

• Swap your staples – Try purple sweet potato instead of orange, or yellow capsicum over red

• Legume love – Add lentils to soups, kidney beans to Bolognese, or snack on hummus and falafel

• Go global – Cook from different cuisines each week to naturally boost plant variety

• Supercharge your smoothie – Add a new fruit or veg, or try green banana flour for gut-loving resistant starch

• Bread rotation – Switch between seeded, wholemeal, rye, or sprouted grain breads for extra variety where bread and gluten is suitable for you.

Your gut microbes thrive on variety—so try and spread the love, every week!

Eat to Nourish Your Microbiome

There's no doubt eating a diet rich in prebiotics and polyphenols can do wonders for the health of your gut microbiome.

With microbiome testing now more accessible, powerful, and personalised than ever, there’s never been a better time for you to explore what your gut can tell us.

Through the Microbial investigation , we can gain valuable insights into:

✔ Microbial Diversity

A diverse gut supports better health and resilience against illness.

✔ Inflammatory Potential

Find out if your microbes are promoting anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory pathways.

✔ Science-Backed Interventions

Access targeted diet and lifestyle advice shown to shift the microbiome in meaningful ways.

✔ Full Species Breakdown

Get a detailed map of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists living in your gut.

Today’s a celebration of the tiny microbes that make a big impact—so why not take the next step toward personalised, preventative health?
