As a surgeon, I've had patients that would do everything to lose weight. They did all the right things. They switched to better foods and they would exercise. They couldn't lose weight. What was happening there? Can we learn from those individual patients? Maybe the microbiome was altered in a way that is not easy to fix by just switching back.

Maybe all of those years the cumulative insult to the microbiome was altered. Now there are some researchers doing this. I met the microbiome researcher at the NIH and it's like a tiny shop. Like this should be the main focus. Yes. The NIH has collected all the DNA information on 1.2 million Americans. And you'll say, I didn't know about this. Why?

They have been doing it for the last six or seven years in search of a genetic basis for health disparities. And that entire... What does that mean? It means they want to understand why certain populations have more chronic diseases than others. And they believe that it's in the genome. And so they collected this giant genetic library. They would pay Americans, say, $25.

80% are African-American, Latino, or transgendered. because they want to unlock why they have different rates of chronic diseases. They have this massive library. When Jay Bhattacharya came into office, the previous director moved that entire database project to another office outside of the director's office, maybe so he wouldn't touch it. Interesting. And what are they doing?

I'm not saying there's no value in that, but you can't even tell us how to lose weight. You can't even tell us what foods are healthy for children. You can't even tell us about seed oils or food dyes or ingredients that are added just for shelf life. And so that has been the entire culture of the medical establishment.

And when they launched that project, they went to the oldest African-American church in Harlem. They went to Atlanta, Detroit, and they recruited people from minority communities. And they told them no longer is our medical recommendations going to be blanket. They're going to be custom tailored to your population.

I think people are now discovering that they've been duped with an industry that has told them, don't worry, all this food is healthy for kids. It's low in calories. It has low fat. So, you know, go ahead and it's fine. That's sort of the between the lines message. And I think they're very suspicious, and they want to find an ingredient that accounts for the chronic disease epidemic.

I don't believe there's any single ingredient. I think it's the entire gamut of less exercise, food chemicals, not eating the right foods, micronutrient-poor foods. We have foods now in the United States that are basically grown with caffeine, you know, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen in the roots. And there's no nutrients. You know, there's a deficiency of good soil.
