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

Well, you're right. There may be none, so there may be no way to tell, but you've got to really sort of focus in on knowing your body. One is transit time and think how long it is from eating to when everything passes through you. And the closer that is to We think between 14 and 18 hours, the more likely you are to have a good gut health.

You don't want to have bloating or constipation and diarrhea, particularly after meals. That would be a sign that it's irritated. Having some heartburn at night is a sign that things aren't perfect either. It's quite hard though to know that, but if you combine that with feelings of tiredness and you notice after certain meals how it really affects you, I think that's important.

But certainly a lot of patients with autoimmune disease do end up with constipation or... really irregular bowel movements. So there's just no consistency in what's going on. And that's a sign that things aren't good. If they need laxatives or, you know, it's a sign you're really not healthy. And you should be going at least once a day to the toilet. It just means you're not getting enough fiber.

And 90% of Americans are deficient in fiber. So even if you're better than average, you're still not likely to be hitting the fiber targets. And that's probably because all the promotion at the moment is for hitting your protein targets. Yeah. I mean, you know, in the US, you know, last month, I couldn't believe how much protein advertising is out there. It's like unbelievable. It's a lot.

The hype over protein. And you think, well... No one's protein deficient. The average American has twice as much protein as they need, and yet nearly everyone's deficient in fiber. Who's fighting for fiber? So hopefully you'll fight for fiber, and anyone with any immune problems should be fighting for fiber because...

That just in itself is anti-inflammatory and protein doesn't do a thing for your immune system, you know, unless you're in a desperate starvation state. So, yeah, it's focusing on the important things that you can do something about, I think is really important.
