And I think no doctors are really addressing is how everyone should, with these immune conditions, be first trying to sort out their gut and get their gut microbiome in the best place possible. Because it acts as a brake on the inflammation.
So if you can send those clear messages of calm from your gut microbes by feeding the right thing, your gut microbes are essentially little chemical factories. They're pharmacies. They're like compound pharmacies producing all kinds of things that you didn't know you needed. And your immune system uses those as signals. And the more it gets, the calmer it is.

And if it's not getting those signals because you've been on a diet of junk food or you've had all kinds of highly processed foods irritating it and irritating the gut lining, then your body thinks it's under attack, and then that stimulates your body to start attacking itself.

And I think that's an emerging theory here, that if we can control the inflammation in our guts, then a whole of our immune system, whether it's attacking your thyroid or your knee joint, is going to be better controlled. And I think...

We see this all the time, and it's why in many of these studies where we're changing people's gut microbiomes, one of the first things we notice people when they report back to us is their fatigue and energy levels are improved.

And as anyone knows, with an autoimmune disease, one of the first things they notice is how hard it is to get out of the bed in the mornings, how that inflammation slows you down, you get a bit of brain fog, all these other things that are associated. But we can definitely improve that with diet. And This is relatively new.

If you said this 10 years ago, people would have just said you're a quack, you're a crazy alternative medicine guy. But now the science is catching up and people are listening. But doctors aren't very good at asking the right questions. So they don't generally say, well, what's your energy level like?

But that's the first thing that changes when you improve your gut microbes and you improve your diet. And we've seen that in our ZOE trials recently. or the ZOE program and also with fermented foods and with the daily 30, the thing we all have in common is they're all improving the gut microbes and the first thing you see
