We tend to have a more hyper responsive immune system, which is what protects the fetus when we're pregnant, but also can be problematic as we're getting older because our immune system just tends to be more easily provoked. And so when I think about thyroid function, it's helping people understand there are far more people undertreated for thyroid than should be the case.
And a lot of women suffer needlessly in middle age for this reason. And men are not immune to it. I have plenty of male family members, people that I know personally who are otherwise healthy, who just have underactive thyroid. It's almost like it's like a spark plug that has just kind of lost its ability to generate enough ATP, enough energy. And so helping people understand that

It's not that you've done anything wrong. It's like many things. I hate to use the analogy to a car as the aging process, but just like we have to replace things in the car over time, there are things that just don't work as effectively or as efficiently over time.

Yeah. So I think it goes back to bio-individuality. You're going to have people that will tell you, I tolerate zero fiber. I get gassy. I get bloated. I feel terrible. I don't like it. And then I have other people who thrive on higher fiber diets. So let's talk about the biggest issue is most, if not all of us, are not eating enough fiber.

And if you look at the research on the gut microbiome, fiber feeds the good bacteria in the gut. I mean, it's simply stated. If you look at the research, I think bioindividuality plays a large role in here. I know that I was full carnivore for nine months after being hospitalized. I tolerated zero fiber for a long period of time.

When patients tell me they tolerate no fiber, I start to think about what's going on in your microbiome that is driving these intolerances or this discomfort or your symptoms. More often than not, I'm a bigger believer of the fact that some fiber is better than none. For each one of us, it might look a little bit differently. The guidelines say 25 to 30 grams a day.

I would imagine most of us are not getting even half of that. So I think that I go into this saying bioindividuality rules. If you look at the research, though, the research absolutely supports the need for fiber to feed the healthy gut microbiome and to look at

know these prebiotics and and probiotics and what feeds you know short chain fatty acid production and all these very important things that go on in the gut and i know far more now than i ever thought i would but with that being said this is very much a bio individual because i feel like there's enough people that don't tolerate fiber that i i try very hard to get a little bit into their diet you know whether it's with a supplement
