Every morning, you should do the FFF routine:
Fasting (12 hours before you have your first meal), Fitness, and Fiber-fermented foods (even out of this 5-day program).
Day 1: Exercise
When you exercise, your gut bacteria get happy; it’s the best probiotic you could ever take. It doesn’t really matter what exercise you do, just move your body!
Yoga is very good for your gut, as twisting is very beneficial for your gut ⇒ it’s going to get things moving in your gut and reduce bloating. Walking is also an excellent thing to do!
Day 2: Eliminate

Your gut loves fiber-rich food and protein.
The best proteins for a happy gut are: eggs, fish, beans (but make sure they are really soaked; if not, they can be gas-producing), tofu, yogurt, cottage cheese, and nuts.
However, gut bacteria don’t like fake protein, such as powder protein that is added to shakes, bars, etc. Powder protein (fake, processed protein) can cause bloating. When you try to reset your gut health, try to have protein in its whole form.

As little as 3 days is enough for your gut bacteria to feel better.
On day 3, you can start feeling a lot better. It starts on day 3, and then it gets only better and better the more days you stay on such a diet. In two weeks, you should be remarkably better.

Our gut is like the Amazon Jungle => there are thousands of different species of good bacteria in there.
The problem with probiotics => if you throw seeds from a plane into a barren land, not knowing what climate you are in or what the weather or soil are like, some seeds may come out of it if you get lucky. But you don’t know for sure; you just throw things at the wall and hope that something sticks.
When you eat probiotic-rich food, the bacteria come in a food matrix, which is more understandable for our gut ecosystem than when you throw a bunch of pills into your body.

Healthy bacteria can be delivered through a probiotic, a food matrix, or a fecal (poop) transplant from someone who has a healthy gut and is healthy in general.
A fecal transplant is placed through colonoscopy and is another great way to improve your gut bacteria.
Mood, motivation, and athletic performance can also be transplanted through the gut. It can cure depression, ADHD, and even stop cancer.
Experiment on rats:
Researchers took the patients who had schizophrenia, took their gut bacteria, and put it into mice. After a short time, these rats started exhibiting a change in mental health.

One of the other ways to get healthy gut bacteria from other humans is just by spending time with people that you want to be like. So, you are going to get a similar microbiome to people you hug, kiss, share food with, and spend most of your time with.
The people you spend your time with influence your gut bacteria ⇒ not only do your bacteria become very similar, but also your personalities (as gut bacteria influence your behavior, mental health, and how happy and successful you are.)
