Hey, bestie,
Can we talk about gut health for a second?
I know, I know — it’s not the sexiest topic. But here’s the thing: your gut is literally controlling everything. Your skin, your energy, your mood, your ability to show up as that girl you’re trying to become.
When my gut was a mess, everything was a mess. Bloating, breakouts, constant fatigue, brain fog, feeling stuck in survival mode instead of thriving. I was eating clean, working out, doing all the “right” things, but still felt off.
Then I discovered the gut-skin-energy connection. And everything changed.
Turns out, 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. Your gut produces 90% of your serotonin (the happy chemical). And when your gut is inflamed, it shows up on your face as acne, redness, and dullness.
Fix your gut, fix your life. That’s not dramatic — that’s science.
These 12 gut health juices transformed my skin, gave me insane energy, and honestly made me feel like I was glowing from the inside out. No expensive supplements. No complicated protocols. Just strategic juice recipes that heal your gut while tasting amazing.

Why Gut Health = Clear Skin + That Girl Energy
Before we dive into the juice recipes, let’s talk about WHY this matters.
The Gut-Skin-Energy Connection:
When your gut is healthy:
- Your skin is clear, glowing, hydrated
- Your energy is stable (no 3pm crash)
- Your mood is elevated
- Your digestion is smooth
- Your immune system is strong
- You feel like THAT girl naturally
When your gut is inflamed:
- Acne, redness, dullness show up on your face
- Energy crashes constantly
- Mood swings and anxiety increase
- Bloating and digestive issues rule your life
- You feel sluggish and stuck
Your gut is the foundation of your glow up. You can’t have clear skin, consistent energy, or that girl vibe if your gut is struggling.
These juice recipes support gut health through:
- Anti-inflammatory ingredients (reduces gut inflammation)
- Probiotics (feeds good gut bacteria)
- Fiber (helps digestion and elimination)
- Antioxidants (fights free radicals causing skin issues)
- Hydration (flushes toxins and supports digestion)

How to Incorporate Gut Health Juices Into Your Routine
The That Girl Morning Juice Routine:
6:00 AM – Wake up, lemon water (prepares gut)
6:30 AM – One of the gut health juice recipes (on empty stomach for maximum absorption)
7:00 AM – Wait 30 min, then eat breakfast
Throughout day – Hydrate with water
Evening – Light dinner, optional second juice if desired
The Gut Healing Protocol (30 Days):
Week 1: Try one new juice recipe daily, see what you like
Week 2: Choose your top 3 favorites, rotate them
Week 3: Drink one gut health juice daily (morning preferred)
Week 4: Notice the changes (skin, energy, digestion, mood)
Juicing Tips for Gut Health:
- Drink immediately (nutrients degrade quickly)
- Start with small amounts (especially if new to juicing)
- Don’t replace all meals (juice is supplemental, not a diet)
- Listen to your body (some juices may not work for your specific gut)
- Organic when possible (especially for produce you juice with skin on)
Speaking of 30-day transformations, my 30 Day Accountability Bestie Planner helps you track your gut health journey, daily habits, and complete glow up alongside these juice recipes. Because consistency is everything.
The Gut Health Lifestyle (Beyond Juice)
These juice recipes are powerful, but they work best as part of a complete gut-healing lifestyle.
What Also Supports Gut Health:
Foods to Add:
- Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt)
- Prebiotic fiber (onions, garlic, asparagus)
- Bone broth (heals gut lining)
- Wild-caught fish (omega-3s reduce inflammation)
- Lots of vegetables (fiber feeds good bacteria)
Foods to Reduce:
- Processed sugar (feeds bad bacteria)
- Alcohol (damages gut lining)
- Fried foods (inflammatory)
- Artificial sweeteners (disrupts gut bacteria)
- Excessive caffeine (can irritate gut)
Lifestyle Factors:
- Manage stress (stress destroys gut health)
- Sleep 7-9 hours (gut repairs during sleep)
- Move your body (exercise supports gut motility)
- Chew food thoroughly (digestion starts in mouth)
- Stay hydrated (water helps elimination)
Your gut health is foundation for everything. Clear skin, stable energy, that girl vibe, confident mood — it all starts with how your gut is functioning.
My Gut Health Transformation Story
Real talk: fixing my gut health changed my entire life.
I spent years dealing with hormonal acne, constant bloating, energy crashes, and feeling like my body was working against me. I tried every skincare routine, every diet trend, every supplement — nothing worked long-term.
Then I learned about the gut-skin-energy axis. And I realized my skin issues weren’t skin issues — they were gut issues showing up on my face.
I started drinking these gut health juice recipes every morning. Within 2 weeks, my bloating disappeared. Within a month, my skin started clearing. Within 3 months, I had more energy than I’d had in years.
But here’s what really changed: When my gut healed, everything else became easier. Showing up for my goals. Building my business. Being present for my daughter. Living my Pinterest life instead of just pinning it.
Because you can’t build your dream life from a body that feels terrible. You need energy to take action. You need mental clarity to make decisions. You need to feel good in your skin to show up confidently.
Your gut health is the foundation of your glow up.
