"The Food You're Eating Is Feeding Disease!" - Fix This To Save Your Gut & Lifespan

Tune in as Martha emphasizes that while indigenous populations show greater microbial diversity, much is still unknown about the effects of various diets, like the ketogenic diet, on the microbiome. Martha acknowledges that meat contains unique fibers like hyaluronic acid that support connective tissue health. While fiber is often considered beneficial, its role can be overrated if the gut microbiome is compromised. Martha explains her reservations about plant-based fibers due to chemical contamination and stresses the importance of a healthy microbiome for overall health.
When we think about healthy relationships, we often focus on communication, shared values, or emotional intelligence. But what if the foundation for these connections lies not just in our hearts or minds, but deep within our guts? As someone who has spent over two decades exploring the hidden world of microbes, both professionally and personally, I've come to realize that the microbiome—the vast community of microbes living in and on us—plays a surprising and powerful role in shaping our social bonds, emotional well-being, and even our attraction to others.
With Valentine's Day approaching, I thought I'd share a delicious and gut-friendly recipe for probiotic chocolate truffles with non-GMO dextrose to share with others or enjoy for yourself. It's a great healthy option to try instead of the standard chocolate you'll find at the grocery store that's full of sugar or artificial sweeteners and other additives.
