The secret love language of your gut
You and your gut are in a complicated relationship.
Some days, you’re in sync: Light, confident, ready for anything.
Other days, it’s giving drama: bloating, discomfort, or that subtle feeling something’s “off.”
Here’s the thing: your gut isn’t mysterious. It just has a type.
And that type is inulin, a powerful prebiotic fibre that feeds the good bacteria living inside you.
At Haus of Health, we’re obsessed with what goes on in your gut because it shapes how you feel, how you look, and yes even how you perform. Let’s talk about why inulin deserves the main character energy in your wellness routine.
What exactly is inulin?
Inulin is a prebiotic fibre found in plants like chicory root, artichoke, and agave.
Unlike most fibres, your body doesn’t digest it directly. Instead, it travels to your colon, where your gut bacteria turn it into something called short-chain fatty acids, compounds that help strengthen your intestinal lining, reduce inflammation, and support immune function.
Think of it as a dinner invitation for your good bacteria.
When you feed them well, they throw a party inside your gut, and the result is better digestion, a flatter stomach, and steadier energy.
Why gay men should care about their gut
Here’s a truth not enough people say out loud: gut health matters even more when your lifestyle is intense, whether that’s travel, nightlife, gym culture, or sexual performance.
Your gut:
-
regulates hormones that affect your mood and libido,
-
filters toxins from alcohol and processed foods,
-
and controls bloating and discomfort that can affect how you look and feel before sex.
That’s why inulin is such a game-changer. It doesn’t just make you go.
It helps your gut microbiome glow.
The science behind it (without the boring bits)
Research shows that inulin increases populations of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, the ones linked to digestion, mood, and even skin clarity.
A 2020 study in Nutrients Journal found that just 10 grams of inulin daily improved stool regularity, reduced bloating, and enhanced overall gut comfort within two weeks.
Other research highlights that a healthy microbiome can:
-
improve serotonin production (yes, that happy neurotransmitter),
-
boost skin barrier function,
-
and enhance nutrient absorption from other supplements.
So when we say “it all starts in your gut”, that’s not marketing: that’s microbiology.
How inulin works differently than a detox
You’ve seen the word “detox” slapped on every bottle.
But here’s the thing: most detox products just flush water. Inulin does something deeper.
Instead of forcing toxins out, it balances your gut from the inside, helping your liver and digestive system do their jobs naturally.
By nourishing your microbiome, you help your body detox every day, not just during a “cleanse week.”
That’s why Bottoms Up was built around inulin as its star ingredient.
It’s not about punishment or restriction. It’s about rhythm, helping your body stay in flow, so you can too.
Signs your gut might need more inulin
You don’t need a lab test to know your gut’s calling for help. Look for these subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs:
-
You feel bloated after meals
-
You’re irregular or too frequent in bathroom visits
-
You often feel foggy or sluggish
-
Your skin is dull or breaking out
-
You rely heavily on caffeine or sugar for energy
If you checked at least two boxes, your microbiome might be off balance and prebiotics like inulin can help restore it.
How to add inulin to your routine
You can find inulin naturally in:
-
Artichokes
-
Bananas (especially underripe ones)
-
Garlic and onions
-
Asparagus
-
Chicory root (the richest source)
But unless you’re eating salads like a saint every day, you might not get enough.
That’s why we included a clinically tested dose in Bottoms Up, a liquid prebiotic shot that combines inulin with choline (for liver support) and artichoke extract (for natural detoxification).
Take one shot in the morning or before a big meal. Your gut will thank you.
The glow-gut connection
Here’s the bonus no one talks about:
When your gut flora is balanced, your skin glows harder.
Studies have shown the gut-skin axis directly links microbiome health to inflammation, breakouts, and dullness.
In other words: a cleaner gut = clearer skin.
That’s why many people notice their skin tone even out after a few weeks on prebiotics.
If you’re chasing that Haus glow, start from the inside.
Science that serves (and feeds your kink for clean)
We’re not here for wellness clichés.
We’re here for science that serves: formulas that work, taste good, and look hot on your shelf.
Inulin isn’t trendy. It’s clinical, proven, and quietly sexy in how it keeps your system clean without extremes.
It’s the backbone of Bottoms Up because it delivers real, measurable results:
-
improved digestion
-
less bloating
-
