All of these super important for the skin, especially.

Um, and so supplements can definitely help with that part of it.

So I always recommend taking a daily multivitamin.

I recommend taking a, um, omega-3 fatty acid supplement.

So like fish oil.

for the good, healthy fats.

I recommend taking a probiotic because in the past, we ate a lot more fermented foods.

We've got a microbiome in our gut.

That is the trillions of bacteria that live inside our gut.

And we are finding out over the last 10 to 15 years that the quality and the health of that bacteria is absolutely essential to our overall health.

Yeah.

And there's crazy things that they've done.

They've taken actually a rat and I've taken a rat that's overweight and a rat that's underweight.

And they've actually done fecal transplants from the underweight rat to the overweight rat.

And you know what happens?

The overweight rat loses a bunch of weight.

Because you think that by moving the microbiome from one rat to another, it completely changes how their body reacts.

And this is a lot of stuff that we just don't really know a lot about.

But what we do know, once again, is the microbiome is extremely important.

And we don't eat fermented foods in our diet at all, other than like- I love kimchi, though.
