5 Surprising Reasons to Care About Gut Health (Even Without Digestive Symptoms)

5 Surprising Reasons to Care About Gut Health (Even Without Digestive Symptoms) 

Gut health impacts far more than digestion. If you're dealing with low mood, hormonal imbalances, acne, rashes, or frequent allergies and colds, your gut may be playing a bigger role than you imagine and the fix could be simpler than you were told. 

1. Gut Health 🤝 Hormone Health (Yes Fertility Too)

Oftentimes, hormone struggles come down to toxic load, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic cortisol elevation. One of the most overlooked solutions? Gut health and liver support. Daily fiber and mineral intake are essential for proper digestion and for helping your body eliminate excess estrogen, which plays a major role in conditions like PMS, PCOS, and estrogen dominance. 

Magnesium, our master mineral, plays a foundational role in hormone balance. However, it is hard to absorb most magnesium! That's why Preme uses bio available magnesium glycinate in both our Kiwi Lemonade and Hot Cocoa which also includes cold-pressed caaco which means it never undergoes a chemical process and retains most of its nutrients including its high magnesium count. 

At the same time, under eating protein and healthy fats can contribute to hypothyroidism, symptoms like hair thinning, nail breaking and low libido, especially in women. When your gut is inflamed, your hormones can become dysregulated - leading to symptoms like painful periods, fatigue, and fertility issues. 

All of our products will support your hormonal health but we especially love Preme Hot Cocoa because it contains easy to digest protein, healthy fats, gentle prebiotic fiber, rich in magnesium, and contains liver supportive herbs ~ plus it tastes like a warm hug! 

2. Gut Health 🤝 Mental Health (Mood & Cognition)

Over 90% of your body’s serotonin is made in the gut. Your gut and brain are deeply connected via the gut-brain axis, which means inflammation in the gut can manifest as anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, brain fog, and now some are linking to gut/brain inflammation to Schizophrenia, BiPolar Disorder, Dementia, Alzheimers, and Multiple Sclerosis. They say that the gut sends 7x the amount of information to the brain, than the brain sends to the gut, I think we know who is in charge! Ensuring that you provide the body with enough fiber, protein, healthy fats, and hydration, will support a flourishing gut-brain axis on the cellular level. 

3. Gut Health 🤝 Skin Health (Aging)

If you struggle with acne, dullness, and accelerated aging, your gut may be the root cause. Stubborn chin pimples are a direct sign that your liver is not fully detoxing your estrogen.

Rapid signs of aging like fine lines, stiff joints, and greying hair are signs that you are not meeting your daily fiber goals! 

A leaky or imbalanced gut allows toxins and inflammatory compounds to circulate—leading to flare-ups on your joints and skin like rashes and eczema. Most gut health brands focus on microbiome balancing while failing to support and soothe leaky gut symptoms. 

Luckily for us, the lining of our intestines rebuild every 5 days, so every time you consume something is a chance at improved health.

4. Gut Health 🤝 Metabolic Health (Weight + Blood Sugar)

A balanced gut supports healthy weight and blood sugar regulation. Most of the time, stubborn belly fat is a sign of inflammation and gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of bacteria). This can lead to sugar cravings, insulin resistance, and difficulty losing weight—no matter how clean you eat or how many meals you skip. 

Our gentle prebiotic fiber supports blood sugar balance, your overall metabolic health, and even turns on GLP-1 - the weight loss hormone. Watch how much easier it can be to reach and maintain your health goals with ensuring daily fiber intake and hydration. 

5. Gut Health 🤝 Immunity (Allergies + Cold/Flu)

Roughly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. A healthy gut microbiome helps your body properly defend itself against viruses, allergens, and chronic inflammation. I personally, have not gotten the flu let alone allergies in years since I started supporting my gut health with daily prebiotic fiber support. If you are constantly catching whatever is going around, you most likely need to support your gut health with prebiotic fibers to grow more good gut bacteria, while encouraging the die off of harmful bacteria. 

We especially love how gentle prebiotic fiber can be supportive in cases of food poisoning - something that is hard to anticipate, but easier to overcome with good gut bacteria.
