Number 7 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.
Here’s what helps me
-
1
Breathe before you eat
Your body digests best when it feels safe and calm.
How to: Take five slow breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth, before each meal.
-
2
Move your coffee later
Coffee on an empty stomach can make a stressed morning feel worse.
How to: Drink it after breakfast instead of before.
-
3
Walk outside every morning
Morning light and movement help set your body clock.
How to: A 20 minute walk before breakfast, before the day gets busy.
-
4
Keep a steady bedtime
Poor sleep makes stress and cravings louder.
How to: Pick a bedtime and keep it, even on weekends.
-
5
Eat regular meals
Skipping meals can leave you shaky and stressed.
How to: Three real meals with protein, at about the same times every day.
-
6
Write down three things
Getting worries out of your head helps you let them go.
How to: Before bed, write three things that went right today.

The one most people miss
These habits calm my stress, and one little capsule every morning helps keep my gut calm too.
Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions
How long until I feel a difference?
For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.
Is it hard to take?
No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.
Is it worth the money?
I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.
Can I take it with the rest of my routine?
Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
