Your gut is in a state of harmony—and that’s something to celebrate.
Your quiz results show that you’ve achieved what many strive for: a Balanced Gut. This means your microbiome is functioning well, your digestion is efficient, and your body and mind are benefiting from the synergy between diet, lifestyle, and emotional health. You likely feel energetic, think clearly, sleep well, and enjoy a wide variety of foods without discomfort.
Those with a Balanced Gut often report:
This balance doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a reflection of a harmonious communication between your brain and gut, and of consistent choices, nutrient-rich eating, gut-friendly diet, movement, rest, and mindful living. You’re on the right track.
But here’s the most exciting part: even when you’re balanced, you can go further.
Here’s a simple and unexpected way you can further support your gut health: Enjoy your meals with other people. Connection with other humans leads to feelings of joy and happiness, which is good for your brain-gut microbiome communication. Eating with others leads to connectedness and feelings of well-being. Eating when you’re happy sends signals to your gut that make your immune cells and microbes happy. This, in turn, benefits your brain. It is generally agreed that the traditional Mediterranean lifestyle is the healthiest diet for your gut, your microbes, and your overall health. Some of the benefits likely come from the fact that the lifestyle in those countries supports frequent social interactions, a sense of connection with land, people, religion, and shared meals.

Based on your quiz results, your gut is highly responsive to emotional cues and closely connected with feelings of anxiety. You are likely to be more sensitive to stress. We refer to this as an Anxious Gut, where the communication between your brain and digestive system is in overdrive, often making it difficult to enjoy meals, digest food comfortably, or feel at ease in your own body.
You may experience:
This type of gut is deeply connected to how you think, feel, and respond to the world around you. But it can be soothed, supported, and rebalanced with the right practices and information.
The Anxious Gut responds to the emotional state your brain creates, and the anxious gut sends signals back to the brain. Here are two powerful habits to start now:
These small acts of self-care signal safety to your gut, and from that place of safety, healing begins.
You have more control than you realize. The Anxious Gut is not a life sentence, it’s a signal. With knowledge, support, and intention, you can regulate the mind, calm the gut, and find your way to lasting balance.

Your results indicate you have what we call a Sensitive Gut, a gut that is more reactive and perceptive than most. This heightened sensitivity often translates into physical discomforts like bloating, distension, gas, or sensations of constipation, even when the digestive process itself may be functioning normally.
You may recognize these patterns:
This gut type is common, especially among women, and is frequently associated with constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-C) or sensory constipation, where your gut feels stuck even when it isn’t.
But here’s the good news: this is manageable. And relief is absolutely possible. Your gut doesn’t just digest food, it digests emotions too. That’s why managing stress is critical for this gut type.
You’re not overreacting, your gut is simply more in tune than most.
And that’s something we can work with. For those with a Sensitive Gut, two powerful paths are available to help you reduce discomfort and regain ease in both your mind and body. Through education, practice, and compassionate support, your Sensitive Gut can become a strong, balanced partner in your well-being journey.

Your quiz results suggest that your gut may be underactive, a state often described as a Lazy Gut. This doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it simply means your gut is struggling to maintain regular function. You may feel uncomfortably full, bloated, or fatigued, and find yourself frustrated by irregular, strained, or incomplete bowel movements. These symptoms may worsen during travel or times of emotional stress.
Those with a Lazy Gut often report:
This pattern is frustrating, but it’s not random. Your gut is very sensitive to your emotional state, your habits, and your environment. And research shows the root cause lies in an imbalance within the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the part of your nervous system that governs digestion. When the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches is disrupted, your gut slows down, fluids and mucus decrease, and the natural movement of digestion is impaired.
A Lazy Gut can be retrained. You don’t need to overhaul your life. Start small, with daily practices designed to support the brain-gut connection and restore your body’s natural digestive flow.
