The flip side is that if I successfully install this into your consciousness so that when you walk through the door of that supermarket, I'm not just talking about the fresh produce section. I'm talking about the whole supermarket. When you walk through that door, if you're thinking, what can I add? What can I add? You're going to be successful.
And it's not a matter of, did he hit this magic number of 30? Because that's not what it's really about. It's about where are you today? And then where can we move this to increase the variety of different plant-based foods in your diet? And the reason why, by the way, this is so important is that we have to think about what is the makeup of our food?

And when it comes to plant-based foods, there's certain specific things that we should be chasing in our diet that we get from unique plants. And that includes fiber. Fiber is not a generic thing. That's like saying protein is a generic thing. That would be like saying that the protein in a bean is the same as the protein from a steak. They're not the same. Right?

The protein, the fiber in a plant is unique to the individual plant. So every plant has unique types of fiber and those unique types of fiber will feed different families of microbes. So when you eat kale, it's not the same effect on your microbiome as if you grabbing a handful of nuts, they're not the same. That's why we want both because then we can feed all the different families.

The other issue is the polyphenols. So polyphenols are basically responsible for the colors of the food. So when you hear people say eat the rainbow. Basically what they're saying is eat a wide variety of different polyphenols. So again, every single plant has a unique mix and blend of polyphenols.

So when we start to piece this together, then we're creating actual biodiversity in our diet in terms of the chemicals that we're bringing into our body that can provide benefits to our microbiome and to our whole body. biodiversity in our diet translates into biodiversity within the microbiome. And that ultimately is a strong, resilient microbiome that protects us from disease.

So, and this is why this concept works. But the problem is like you walk into your supermarket and 75% of the calories come from three plants.

10 to 12 of these 30 sources that i need for the week that's right yeah and the key there is that you just thought about it right because you thought about it and you're like okay this opens up the opportunity for me to crack open my pantry see what seeds and nuts are in there crack open my refrigerator and see like what are the options that i have that i could potentially throw into this thing right and that's how you ultimately made that happen but the other thing to bear in mind is like as you're sitting there you're talking about this dude i'm getting hungry
