We could certainly talk about antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and acid-blocking medications and a host of others that are directly threatening the gut bacteria. So I think that these are choices that I make less on how it feels to me as opposed to what I understand about the science.

taking that information and getting it out, uh, in any possible forum, like chatting with you today, that allows me to get information out that, you know, that, that would be helpful for people in terms of catering to the, the health and diversity of their gut bacteria. It's really, really important.

Matter of fact, interestingly, a study was published this morning, uh, that was sent to me by Dr. Stephen Gundry, uh, You may have heard of Dr. Gundry, has done a lot of work on lectins and a terrific cardiologist. And the study had to do with this very, very primitive tribe that's often studied in Bolivia.

where they have what looks to be a very primitive array of bacteria in their gut, microbiome. And it looks like their microbiomes, when it's sequenced, emulates what our ancestors from thousands and thousands of years ago had in their gut. And we're actually able to determine that from looking at fossilized poop.

We're still able to recover markers that allow us to determine what the bacteria was like. Anyway...

The study today said that these people who are infested with all kinds of bacteria, but beyond that, all kinds of worms and other parasites, that they demonstrate larger brains, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and really preservation of their bodies as they age in comparison to age-matched individuals living in modern society.

So my point is that this relationship, we've been talking about this since we started today, this relationship between what our gut bacteria are doing and their diversity is huge and extremely valuable. We're just beginning to understand it and therefore be able to tap into it as another powerful tool in the toolbox. I interviewed a Dr. Molly Fox recently.
