So now gluten bothers them, dairy bothers them, certain foods that they couldn't tolerate before.

Now your body, because a little piece of it got into your bloodstream and your immune system was like, oh no.

We're going to build a whole system to keep this out next time.

And so there's a whole inflammatory response that happens.

So that's basically why you want to keep that thick gut lining with keeping your gut bacteria healthy and happy and present and ready to fight.

So the strategies for nutrition, at least from all the bulk of research we have, basically says...

The healthier you can keep those seven, eight rows of bacteria, the better off your body will be because they not only produce those happy chemicals, they help regulate your estrogen levels and they communicate with your brain.

They're keeping the communication levels like very, very strong and they're keeping you happy and healthy.

So like we need to keep that healthy.

like whole system, those trillions of gut bacteria, happy and healthy.

So is that what dysbiosis is?

Yeah, that's a great question.

So dysbiosis, a lot of people don't realize what that means.

It basically means that the gut bacteria are unhealthy.

So that whole analogy that I was telling you with the six, seven rows of soldiers, it means that they're either no longer there or they're much less soldiers or they're injured, they're hungry, they're not fed.

Like it's exactly the same analogy like the Amazon jungle, like thinking of the lush forest

green forest, and then thinking of like a desolate jungle where half the organisms are dead.

And now, you know, you're trying to work, like you're not thriving with half of everything dead.

So the real dysbiosis is basically that your gut bacteria are injured, dead, or not present.

There's lots of leaky gut happening because they're not present.
