Public Service Announcement. God designed the microbiome of the human gut to control all bodily health: the brain, immune system, metabolism, digestion, pretty much everything is controlled by the gut microbiome. When it is the right diversity and balance, and properly fed, it will give you excellent health. If it’s out of wack, underfed, or killed off by processed foods, toxins, antibiotics, most drugs, or stress, it will wreak havoc on the person. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, autoimmune disorders, allergies, chronic fatigue and malaise, you name it. The standard American diet and lifestyle has destroyed our gut microbiome beginning in childhood. To repair it you need to eliminate processed and fake food, figure out what foods cause you allergies, GI distress, or general bad reactions and limit it, rebuild the gut with probiotics, fiber, and fermented foods gradually over time. This heals the leaky gut, and restores health.
