Be Yourself. Be Happy.

Of the grand order of folio leviathans, the Sperm Whale and the Right Whale are by far the most noteworthy. They are the only whales regularly hunted by man. To the Nantucketer, they present the two extremes of all the known varieties of the whale. As the external difference between them is mainly observable in their heads; and as a head of each is this moment hanging from the Pequod's side.

Stay Positive. Always.

Your 3rd Brain, Your Gut

Posted by April Carter

Microbiome. Have you heard of it?

It’s often said you have three “brains”: head, heart, and the gut! The gut is often refereed to as your “third brain.” They communicate constantly through nerves, hormones, and stress signals. Everything you eat and experience can influence how you think, feel, and react.

The microbiome is the collection of trillions of microorganisms, mostly bacteria, but also viruses, fungi, and other microbes, that live in and on your body.

The most studied is the gut microbiome, found in your intestines.

Basically, your gut microbiome is just a microscopic sitcom where what you eat decides whether it’s a peaceful neighborhood drama… or a full-blown riot episode.

Microbiome Support:

As a busy Mom, I’m not going to lie, I like convenience and my brain sometimes shuts off.. Hey, it’s my age, I couldn’t remember my zip code last week. Not age as in senile, but my hormones started to pack their bags in protest! LOL.

When I first came across this 3-blend biotic (Happy Juice – no, really, that’s the name) my gut thought I was Mary Poppins and sang with delight! I told all my friends about it because I’d hope they enjoy it as much as I did. My body was depleted and I was searching to feel my best. The summer of 2021, I dealt with SIBO and some days couldn’t get out of bed. It was not fun, and let me tell you, my friend, in the PNW, when you miss a summer, you’ll have words %$#$#%$#^%$. lol. I wish I’d found my 3-blend sooner! Or knew about gut health for that matter! I drank it daily, did many dance songs while drinking it, and filmed them. I’m sure they’ll pop up here later.. even the embarrassing ones in my kids’ too-small robes on and messy hair! Won’t that be fun. Ha!

I loved it so much I started studying it, the gut, and attempting to make my own gut-support drinks. But that 3-blend was hard to beat. Since then I’ve been dabbling in mushrooms, the healthy kind. 😉

Mushrooms and the microbiome

Mushrooms contain special compounds, especially beta-glucans (a type of fiber) and other polysaccharides, that act as prebiotics. That means they can help feed beneficial gut bacteria, rather than supplying bacteria themselves.

So instead of “adding new residents” to your gut like fermented foods might, mushrooms are more like providing better food and better conditions for the existing community.

3-blend:

The 3-blend is probiotics, prebiotics, and sometimes postbiotics as one strategy to support the gut microbiome. Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that add to the existing microbial community in the gut. Prebiotics are types of dietary fiber that feed those beneficial bacteria and help them grow. Postbiotics are the compounds and byproducts created when bacteria ferment food and interact with the gut environment, and they may play a role in supporting gut barrier function and immune signaling.

I will go back to my 3-blend. But I’m taking a deeper look at fermented foods since I have a good base from taking the 3-blend for years. I can’t wait to do both!

Think of gut health like a party in your stomach.

🥬 Fermented foods are like inviting random, cool strangers to the party: yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut show up with their own energy. Sometimes the party is amazing… sometimes it’s a little unpredictable… but it’s natural, real, and has been happening for thousands of years.

💊 3-blend biotics are like hiring a professional event crew.

You’re not just hoping good guests show up; you’re bringing in:

  • the VIP guests (probiotics)
  • the catering team that feeds them (prebiotics)
  • and the cleanup crew that keeps everything running smoothly (postbiotics)

So instead of “hope the party goes well,” it’s more like “the party was designed to go well.”

Fermented foods are great. But they’re also dependent on consistency, variety, and luck of what you actually eat that day.

The 3-blend approach is more like structured support for your gut ecosystem—especially when life isn’t exactly meal-prep Pinterest perfect.

One is “natural chaos in a jar.”
The other is “organized support with a game plan.”

👉 If fermented foods are the old-school way of building gut health…
👉 3-blend biotics are the modern cheat code for people who still want results without living in the kitchen.

If you’re curious about the blend that’s worked well for me, you can learn more below.
