Plexus Worldwide®: Why Gut Health Month Is So Important

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With approximately 60 to 70 million Americans currently affected by digestive health concerns including gastrointestinal (GI) intolerances and sensitivities, gut health has become a focal point in health and wellness discussions.

The gut is often referred to as the "second brain" playing a pivotal role in not only digestion but also immune health, mental well-being and even skin health. As we enter Gut Health Awareness Month in February, experts emphasize that while our gut microbiome - the trillions of bacteria and microorganisms living in our digestive system- is a complicated system, simple practices to manage the key aspects of our life such as diet, sleep, exercise and limiting stressors can provide the foundation for improving gut health.

"We are constantly discovering new ways our gut influences our physical and mental health," said Dr. Michael Hartman, PhD, Vice President of Research & Development at Plexus Worldwide. "There is no question that the gut microbiome is integral to maintaining balance in the body. Gut Health Month serves as a reminder for people to give this often-overlooked part of the body the attention it deserves."

Plexus Worldwide, an industry leader and pioneer in gut health and microbiome, offers science-backed insight into how individuals can achieve total body wellness through a healthy gut. Plexusâ offers a wide range of nature-based products and supplements developed to optimize gut microbiome based on the physiological makeup and dietary needs of each individual.

"In 2025, we will be expanding further into the realm of the microbiome with exciting new products," said Plexus Worldwide CEO Gene Tipps. "The gut is a complicated topic because it's so far-reaching. We try to simplify the attainment of wellness goals with easy-to-follow product systems that take out the guess work and offer continuous customer support through our amazing Brand Ambassadors."

Taking care of your gut is a year-round commitment. Small, consistent changes can lead to big improvements in overall health. To promote a healthier gut, Dr. Hartman encourages individuals to focus on practical habits that can lead to a happier and more balanced gut microbiome.

Eat a diverse diet rich in fiber, probiotics, and be sure to limit the intake of processed foods. Diets high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, making it essential to reduce or eliminate such foods when possible. Aside from the food that fuels our gut biome, it is also important to manage stress and stay hydrated on a daily basis.

By combining smart food choices, the right supplements, regular physical activity, and the support of a neighbor, the path to a healthy gut and overall body wellness can begin right now.
