2026 has arrived, along with the familiar surge of New Year’s wellness resolutions. Ambitious plans, fresh starts, and the quiet suspicion that this year might end the same way as the last.
Instead of reinventing your life in January, this is the year to build something that's actually sustainable.
Most resolutions fail for predictable reasons. They lean heavily on willpower. They’re often too broad or extreme to sustain. They chase symptoms rather than root causes. And they’re pursued in isolation, with no systems to support them when motivation dips.
Foundations work differently. They prioritise stability over intensity. Rather than relying on bursts of motivation, they’re built from habits that are simple, repeatable, and resilient enough to hold when routines change or life gets messy.
When it comes to wellbeing, one foundational element is consistently overlooked: gut health.
It isn’t a wellness trend or side concern. Gut health sits at the centre of how your body absorbs nutrients, regulates energy, supports immunity, and communicates with the brain.
Your gut sits at the centre of digestion, immunity, energy, and recovery. When the gut microbiome is well supported, the body is better able to absorb nutrients, adapt to stress, and maintain resilience.
Around 70 percent of the immune system is located in the gut1. The intestinal lining acts as a selective barrier, absorbing nutrients while helping keep unwanted irritants out.
With the gut playing such a central role, the next step is simple: build healthy habits that support it daily. When those rituals are easy to adopt and repeat, they’re far more likely to last beyond a few weeks.
Spread your protein intake across the day
Protein helps steady blood sugar levels by slowing digestion, allowing carbohydrates to enter the bloodstream gradually. This supports more stable energy levels, fewer cravings, and better metabolic control.
Simple additions, such as eggs at breakfast or collagen added to a post-workout shake can meaningfully increase daily protein intake and reinforce these benefits over time.
Choose simple wholefood swaps
Build nutrition into meals you already enjoy by making small, practical upgrades.
Incorporate squash, sweet potato, or shredded greens to add fibre and keep the digestive system balanced
Pair your snacks with a simple protein source like boiled eggs or grilled chicken breast, to keep blood sugar levels steady and hunger at bay
Add a few scoops of organic bone broth powder to boost your meal’s nutrient value. It blends easily in sauces, soups, gravies, and stews
Support digestion by managing stress
Digestive health is closely linked to the nervous system. Simple habits such as short walks after meals, slower eating when possible, and creating a calmer transition into the evening can all support digestion without demanding extra time or effort.
Anchor one daily nourishment routine
Choose one consistent nourishment habit you return to each day, such as a warming mug of bone broth, a collagen-infused matcha, or a protein-rich soup. Repeating a simple ritual anchors nutrients in your diet consistently even on busy or unpredictable days.
Taken together, these practices share the same foundations of gut support: simplicity, consistency, and nutrient density.
Few foods deliver all three without demanding extra time or constant adjustment.
Bone broth is one of them.
As a collagen-rich, easy-to-digest food, bone broth has been valued for generations as part of a nose-to-tail approach to nourishment. Slow simmering draws out naturally occurring amino acids, protein, and minerals such as potassium, making these nutrients easier for the body to absorb.
These nutrients play a meaningful role on gut and tissue health. Amino acids like glycine and glutamine support the cells that maintain the gut lining, while proline contributes to connective tissue repair.
But nourishment alone isn’t enough to meet the demands of modern life. For traditional foods to remain relevant today, they also need to be practical.
That thinking led to the creation of Planet Paleo’s Organic Bone Broth range.
Guided by the principle of ‘ancient nutrition made for modern convenience,’ Planet Paleo's bone broths are slow simmered for maximum nutrition extraction, then gently dried to preserve wholefood integrity – without the need for long preparation times.
They’re made using the highest-quality bovine collagen, sourced from KRAV-certified organic cattle that meets the global gold standard for farming and animal welfare.
From Herbal Defence to Ancient Mushrooms, the range offers protein-rich bone broth formulas designed to support a targeted health goals – without compromising on simplicity, quality, or animal welfare.
Solid foundations are built gradually. As you move into the year ahead, focus on simple rituals that support your gut health and prioritise consistency over intensity. These steady habits are far more likely to last than short-term changes, allowing progress to settle naturally into daily life.
Take a moment to acknowledge how far you’ve already come. Progress doesn’t need to be dramatic to be meaningful — especially when it supports your long-term wellbeing.
