Ray Faltinsky has spent his life championing one mission: to harness the power of wellness to transform lives. His passion for health began at age 15, when he witnessed the life-changing impact of nutritional supplements firsthand: his mother overcame debilitating osteoporosis through natural nutrition. That defining moment sparked a lifelong commitment to helping others thrive.
Ray earned his Bachelor of Science from Trinity College and his Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School, where his graduate thesis focused on the Direct Selling industry. That research became the foundation for launching FreeLife International in 1995, an iconic wellness company that achieved over $1.2 billion in global sales and helped hundreds of thousands of people improve their health across 23 countries.
Over his 30+ year career, Ray has been at the forefront of product innovation, helping to create and bring over 150 wellness products to market, many of which have generated massive global impact. Now, as the visionary behind The Gut Gummy™, Ray is leading the charge into a new era of health. GG-360™, the brand’s flagship tribiotic gummy, reflects his belief that science-backed, joyful wellness should be accessible, shareable, and effective for everyone.
How the microbiome impacts health
Healthy skin begins in the belly, not in the vanity. While the beauty industry has spent decades treating complexion and fatigue as surface-level concerns, dermatologists and nutrition scientists increasingly point to a different starting point: the microbiome. When the trillions of bacteria in the gut flourish, research shows that skin looks clearer, mood steadies, and energy no longer spikes then crashes.
Enter The Gut Gummy™, a delicious vegan square designed to feed, fortify, and calm the digestive ecosystem. Its tribiotic blend (pre-, pro-, and post-biotics) arrives in a chewy bite that fits into a morning routine as easily as a multivitamin. The goal is simple: address beauty and burnout at the source, rather than in the mirror.
Inside The Gut Gummy™: A tribiotic formula that works in three directions
The Gut Gummy™’s full-spectrum tribiotic blend addresses the microbiome on three fronts: fuel, reinforcements, and finishing signals.
- Prebiotic fiber: Six powerful fibers that feed beneficial microbes and boost short-chain fatty production, compounds linked to better metabolic and skin outcomes.
- Probiotic DE11: A spore-former proven to survive stomach acid, germinate in the small intestine within four hours, and has been clinically shown to support a healthy gut microbiome, which can help reduce inflammation and promote clearer, healthier-looking skin.
- Postbiotic BPL1 HT: A heat-treated Bifidobacterium shown in human trials to trim belly fat and visceral fat and influence GLP-1 signaling mechanisms tied to appetite, mood, and skin clarity.
By combining all three “biotics” in clinically relevant doses, the formula helps create a resilient, diverse microbiome faster than single-category supplements. Consumers get benefits that range from smoother digestion to brighter skin in one chewable step.
Why healthy skin starts in the stomach
Scientists call the pathway between the intestines and epidermis the “gut-skin axis.” When the gut microbiome remains balanced, it reduces systemic inflammation, strengthens the skin barrier, and enhances hydration — three factors associated with fewer breakouts and a natural glow.
When prebiotics boost short-chain fatty acids, tight-junction proteins in the gut wall fortify, reducing the leak of pro-inflammatory molecules that often trigger breakouts or redness. The result is fewer flare-ups and improved hydration.
Postbiotics, such as lipoteichoic acid from BPL1®, add another layer, influencing lipid metabolism and antioxidant pathways that result in a clearer, more even complexion.
Finally, a balanced microbiome absorbs skin-loving nutrients — think zinc and biotin — more efficiently, giving the supplements you take something to work with. Consistency matters; The Gut Gummy™ supplies the same pre-, pro-, and postbiotic support every day without refrigeration.
Gut-powered serenity
Gut microbes produce or trigger the release of neurotransmitter precursors such as tryptophan, GABA, and short-chain fatty acids. These molecules travel the vagus nerve and circulatory system, influencing stress response and mental clarity.
DE111 amplifies that signaling quickly. Studies show antioxidant and anti-inflammatory markers rise within hours of ingestion, correlating with reports of steadier focus and reduced afternoon slumps.
BPL1 complements the effect by modulating GLP-1, a gut hormone tied to glucose balance and satiety. Stable blood sugar means fewer energy crashes and less “hangry” irritability — a benefit users often notice by the first week.
Together, the gummy’s tribiotic matrix supports the gut lining, nourishes calming bacteria, and maintains smooth metabolic signals — conditions that translate into calm energy rather than jittery peaks.
A simple daily ritual for whole-body wellness
Take one or two gummies after breakfast, chase it with water, and the shelf-stable spores get to work: no mixing, no fridge, no pill fatigue. Travelers keep a pouch in a carry-on; busy parents store it next to coffee grounds. A habit that fits this easily is more likely to last, and — like any microbiome intervention — lasting matters.
Over time, that small habit becomes a compound investment. A balanced gut produces more of the short-chain fatty acids that keep inflammation low, collagen intact, and brain fog at bay. Digestion feels lighter, afternoon crashes fade, and even sleep quality can improve as serotonin pathways stabilize. The payoff isn’t a fleeting glow-up before a selfie; it’s a baseline upgrade that supports skin, mood, and metabolism through every season. In the crowded world of wellness hacks, The Gut Gummy™ stands out by turning the simplest daily act — chewing — into a microbiome masterclass.
Topical creams can polish the surface, and caffeine can fake alertness, but neither rewires the system that drives both. The Gut Gummy™ takes the inside-out approach: nurture the microbiome, and the skin glows while energy hums quietly along. Beauty and calm, it turns out, begin one bite below the surface.
Two gummies each day — because true radiance and steady energy begin just a bite below the surface.
