Dialed In For You

Now here are four things to remember. You're half microbe. Half of the molecules in your body, those are microbes, okay? The ecosystem is part of who you are, they're a critical organ. Number two, the gut talks to your other organs, especially your brain, okay? This is why you want to optimize your gut because it impacts every cell, organ, tissue of your body. Number three, breakdown is a chain reaction, right? Low fiber, low polyphenol intake, not enough movement, poor sleep, stress, taking antibiotics or glyphosate, those create this downward reaction, eventually leading to inflammation, autoimmune disease, obesity, and chronic illness. Number four, food is the fastest lever. More plants, more variety, more fiber will move the needle the fastest for the health of your gut microbiome.
