Lifestyle Matters Too

Beyond food, other lifestyle choices also shape microbial metabolism:

Exercise: Regular physical activity contributes to increased microbial diversity, thus promoting beneficial metabolite production. Greater diversity supports more robust microbial conversion of tryptophan into indole derivatives like IPA. Exercise also reduces systemic inflammation and has been shown to lower KYN levels while improving insulin sensitivity.
Sleep & Circadian Rhythm: Disrupted sleep alters the microbiota composition, promotes immune stress, and can shift tryptophan metabolism more excessively toward the kynurenine pathway.
Stress Management: Practices like breathwork, mindfulness, and nature exposure reduce cortisol and preserve TRP availability for beneficial pathways rather than excessive inflammatory KYN metabolites.

The bottom line:

Your daily food and lifestyle choices directly influence how gut microbiota supports your health. Diets rich in fiber, polyphenols, and healthy fats help tip the balance toward producing beneficial metabolites like IPA and SCFAs, while minimizing pathways and metabolites associated with stress and immune activation, such as kynurenine.

Tracking changes in these metabolites – particularly IPA – can help you see how your gut is responding to your diet, and empower you to make choices that support resilience, metabolic flexibility, and long-term vitality.

When these lifestyle habits work alongside a nutrient- and fiber-rich diet, they help create the conditions for your gut microbiota to thrive. The combined effect can help tip tryptophan metabolism toward producing health-promoting metabolites like IPA, while keeping inflammatory pathways in check. Small, consistent changes in both what you eat and how you live can add up to measurable improvements in resilience, energy, and long-term health.
