Winter Squash w/ Yogurt + Herbs

Fiber + fermentation shape gut–brain communication.

This pairing feeds both microbial diversity + nervous system signaling.

Fermented foods + fiber-rich plants work together to influence microbial signaling in the gut. Squash provides soluble fiber, while yogurt introduces beneficial bacteria that interact with immune + nervous system pathways.

This meal feeds both sides of the conversation.
