Where to find it
Practices on IX Coach that cite American Gut
- Increase vegetable variety, not just volume
Eating 5–10 different vegetables per week is more anti-inflammatory than eating large amounts of two or three.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Mood, Made Practical
- Prioritize fiber diversity over total fiber grams
Different fiber types feed different bacteria — eating 30 g of one fiber source is less microbiome-beneficial than 20 g from five different sources.
Dietary Fiber for Mood, Made Practical
- Eat a wide diversity of plant fiber
Feed as many different species of gut bacteria as possible by rotating plant foods every week.
The Gut-Brain Axis: How Your Gut Talks to Your Brain
- Aim for variety, not just quantity, in vegetables
