Why is it important to take care of the "soil" in your body - and how does metabolism relate to it?

Imagine your body as a beautiful, blooming garden. Each flower in it symbolizes your energy, immunity, healthy skin, good mood and quality sleep. But what is the basis of every garden vibrant with life? High-quality, vibrant and well-nourished soil.

In the world of health, that “soil” is our gut microbiome—a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms that determine how our bodies and minds function. And a healthy microbiome is key to a properly functioning metabolism. This is where most problems and solutions begin.

What does it mean to "have healthy soil"?

Our intestines are not just a simple “tube” through which food passes. They are an intelligent and constantly changing ecosystem. The bacteria in them decide what is absorbed, what is excreted, what the body stores as fat, and what is converted into energy.

When we don't take care of this ecosystem, it can lead to inflammation, bloating, slowed metabolism, fatigue, and even psychological discomfort.

Why is metabolism so important?

Metabolism is a set of processes through which our body converts food into energy. When it works properly, we burn efficiently, have vitality, do not build up excess fat, and feel light. When it is disrupted, the body stores reserves, slows down, and ages faster.

Few people know that a healthy metabolism starts in the intestines. When the intestinal "soil" is depleted, the body does not absorb nutrients, cannot eliminate toxins and does not regulate blood sugar levels well. The result is a slow metabolism, the yo-yo effect when dieting and a feeling of heaviness, even when you eat little.

How to support healthy soil and kick-start metabolism

1. Fermented foods – sauerkraut, miso, fermented drinks like Herb Zyme by Esthe Pro Labo
2. Fasting and gut reboot – controlled detox programs give the intestines space to regenerate
   
3. Fiber from fermented vegetables – acts as food for good bacteria
   
4. Increasing body temperature by 1°C – promotes enzymatic activity and combustion
   
5. Healthy sleep, breathing and movement – ​​the gut is closely connected to the brain via the gut-brain axis

Healthy soil = beautiful skin, slim figure and happy mind

If you feel like your body is out of balance, focus less on how much you eat and more on what your body can absorb. Gut health and proper metabolism determine how we feel, how we look, and how slowly or quickly we age.

To transform your body, start right here—in your “inner garden.” Plant the right seeds and watch everything bloom.
