Microbiome Is A Dynamic, Modifiable Organ
- Your gut microbiome is a dynamic ecosystem that educates immunity, protects the gut barrier, and affects mood and metabolism.
- Unlike genes, your microbiome changes quickly with diet, sleep, and stress, so you can shift it in days.
Butyrate Fuels Gut Lining And Limits Inflammation
- Butyrate is the main fuel for colon cells and strengthens the gut barrier to limit systemic inflammation.
- Short-chain fatty acids produced by microbes act as key peacekeepers for gut lining health.
Two Diet Pillars For Microbiome Health
- Two dietary factors stand out for a healthy microbiome: diverse dietary fiber and fermented foods.
- Fiber fuels microbes to produce short-chain fatty acids while fermented foods expose you to live microbes and lower inflammation.
