"The diversity of plants in your diet was the number one factor in predicting who had the healthiest gut. And the number is 30 - 30 different plants per week." - Dr. Will Bulsiewicz
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz reveals the startling truth about our modern diet - 75% of supermarket calories come from just wheat, corn, and soy. Drawing from groundbreaking research in the American Gut Project, he explains why plant diversity is the single most important factor for gut health, with 30 different plant foods weekly being the magic number. From smoothies packed with varied seeds and berries to reimagined pasta sauces filled with herbs and vegetables, Dr. Bulsiewicz offers practical ways to transform your nutrition beyond the standard American diet where only 10% of calories come from plants.
Beyond simply adding more fiber, Dr. Bulsiewicz explains the fascinating science behind why diversity matters - each plant feeds different families of gut microbes, which have unique "taste buds" and food preferences. By expanding your plant repertoire, you'll not only nourish more beneficial gut bacteria but also experience greater satiety, reducing hunger and cravings. This revolutionary approach to eating challenges us to be intentional about our food choices, prioritizing variety alongside whole, unprocessed ingredients for optimal gut health and overall wellbeing.
