Yeah, you want to talk about that?

Yeah, it's a little confusing.

Yeah, it's a little confusing.

Okay, so prebiotics are the food that the bacteria in your gut are feeding off of. And the interesting thing is, and you can look at this in a lot of different ways, but giving yourself a prebiotic or a specific prebiotic might not be good for one person, but be good for another person because you each have your own unique microbial blueprint, right?

And so based on the bacteria that are there, what prebiotic is right for you, right? So I always say, you know, really having that beautiful diversified diet of all the colors of the rainbow. Right. And, you know, sticking to either side of the grocery store, like where you're in the produce section or right. Meat, fish and that stuff like that.

Eating anything that man hasn't gotten in the way of and staying away from that standard American diet, you're going to give yourself the prebiotics, like from all the veggies and the fruit, you know, all those things, right? So, you know, resistant starches, all that stuff is going to be really important in helping diversify and feed that microbiome.

Sure, there's different things like inulin and so forth, you know, but again, it's, you don't know what each person's blueprint is, right? Unless you test every single person and know that, and then you can maybe match that prebiotic to the population that's, you know, living there.

And of course, if you took maybe, you know, something that has a bunch of different prebiotics in it, that's always helpful, of course, but eating foods that specifically have these prebiotics in them. And, you know, at the end of the, you know, I could give you a list of like really good prebiotic like foods.

that give the microbiome that food that they need that like antibiotics in it is really healthy i mean the other thing that people talk about too are fermented foods yeah yeah which are awesome and they help feed the gut microbiome well you know like kimchi and sauerkraut and kombucha and all those lovely things right anything pickled right um

The problem is in this day and age and with all the chronic illness we're seeing, a lot of people are very sensitive to that, right? Mass cell activation, mass cell issues, histamine issues are like through the roof right now. So when you give yourself fermented foods, it's going to exacerbate that. So once you get your gut microbiome in balance again, right, and you've controlled for this

mast cell or histamine issue, then it's okay to start bringing in those foods again so that you don't trigger that histamine response. So I digress. Sorry, but I just felt like I should say that.
