The Power of the Gut Microbiome

Dr. Shaw highlights the significant role of gut bacteria in influencing our cravings and overall well-being. She reveals that gut bacteria have the ability to hijack our brain, creating peptides and chemicals that override our own craving signals and happiness chemicals. However, Dr. Shaw explains that we can positively transform our gut microbiome within just three days by adopting a healthy diet rich in unprocessed vegetables. Additionally, she emphasizes the importance of exercises, especially outdoor activities, in promoting the production of anti-inflammatory compounds by gut bacteria, benefiting our mood, cravings, and overall health.
