Today, we’re going to talk about the #1 thing that improves your health. It has to do with increasing the diversity of microbes in your gut. Ideally, you want a rich microbiome with a lot of different species. Without this diversity, you’ll provide the perfect space for harmful bacteria to thrive. A lack of diverse microbes can lead to symptoms, including: • Diarrhea • Gut inflammation • Toxins • Obesity • Slow metabolism • Mood changes This lack of diversity is called dysbiosis, and it’s associated with many different serious health conditions. Potential benefits of diverse microbes: • They help you make vitamins • They provide immune protection • They help keep inflammation low • They feed colon cells • They help produce amino acids, neurotransmitters, and other proteins • They help keep your energy high How to increase the diversity of microbes in your gut and boost your health: 1. Consume food that has been grown on soil that has a diverse microbiome 2. Increase the diversity of plant foods in your diet 3. Exercise 4. Get plenty of quality sleep 5. Do intermittent fasting 6. Consume phenols 7. Consume sprouts or microgreens grown on soil 8. Consume probiotic foods 9. Consume raw foods Top things that lower microbiome diversity: 1. Broad-spectrum antibiotics 2. Glyphosate 3. Animals fed on a monoculture 4. Stress 5. Artificial sweeteners 6. Inflammation 7. Liver issues 8. Sterilized foods 9. Radiated foods 10. Overly processed foods 11. A lack of variety of foods in the diet If you’re expecting a baby, keep in mind that having a natural birth and breastfeeding can both enhance the diversity of microbes in an infant.

I read about a challenge to eat 200 _different_ foods (including spices, thankfully) in a 30-day period. I thought, NO PROBLEM. Boy, was I wrong. I actively pushed and was even eating edible weeds from our backyard to increase my total! I managed to achieve _100_ different foods - a measly half of the goal. It's not easy to eat truly diversely for our gut flora!

When I come to think, I remember my grandparents feed their dogs only one dinner meal. The dogs were so healthy even without vaccines, fit, active and live up to their lifespan.
