Let’s make this topic fun. Next time you feel a rumble, don’t groan—grin. You can even name your favorite gut bacteria. I call mine “Bartholomew the Bubbly.” Every toot is a little victory lap for Bartholomew.

Now, about those awkward dinner parties. If you’re worried about chicory root gas, just whisper to your friend, “I’m optimizing my microbiome tonight.” They’ll be too impressed to notice a little puff of air. Or, you know, embrace the comedy—blame the dog.
