Fasting and Gut Bacteria
- When you fast, a different set of bacteria become active in your gut.
- These bacteria thrive on the "debris and rubbish" left behind after digestion.
The Role of Acomantia Muciniphila
- Acomantia muciniphila, a type of bacteria, consumes the mucus lining of the gut during fasting periods.
- This "trimming" action promotes the regeneration of new gut cells.
Join the Big IF Study
- Participate in the Big IF Study to determine the optimal fasting period for you.
- The study seeks to personalize fasting regimes, recognizing individual differences.
