The 72-Hour Reset Most People Don’t Know About
Here’s what I wish more people understood.
Your microbiome is not fixed, it’s responsive. Some gut bacteria only stick around 48 to 72 hours unless you keep feeding them what they thrive on.
That’s why when you shift from ultra-processed food to whole food, especially fiber and fermented foods, many people feel a difference fast. Sometimes in as little as three days.
Not magic. Biology.
Three Daily Anchors That Support Your Gut and Your Brain
If I could simplify midlife nutrition down to three anchors, it would be these:
1) 30 grams of protein in the morning
This isn’t dieting. It’s stability. A solid protein breakfast helps steady blood sugar, reduce cravings, support lean muscle, and improve energy and focus.
Think eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, a smoothie, or leftovers. Simple wins.
2) 30 grams of fiber per day
Fiber is the main fuel for your gut bacteria. It supports digestion, cholesterol, estrogen clearance, and helps lower inflammation. Most women get far less than they need.
Easy adds: berries, beans, lentils, veggies, seeds, whole grains.
3) 2 to 3 servings of fermented foods daily
Fermented foods help diversify your gut and can reduce inflammatory markers.
Easy options: yogurt with live cultures, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, tempeh.
Even a simple habit like 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar in a large jug of water can be an easy “set it and sip it” gut support.
What This Looks Like in Real Life
This doesn’t need to be complicated.
Morning: Greek yogurt + berries + chia seeds
Midday: veggies with lunch, add a forkful of sauerkraut
All day: water with apple cider vinegar
Evening: beans or lentils with dinner, optional miso or kimchi
No rules. No restriction. Just daily support that adds up.
