Because I know that once the bloating is gone, I know that I have them in a rhythm where they're moving their bowels the way that they're supposed to. So magnesium is one of the ways that we can accomplish that.

Well, first of all, that is 100% true. When you cook your food, when you modify your food, these are forms of processing and there's nothing wrong with processing, meaning like cooking your food or chopping your food or something like that. That's a different thing from my perspective than say an ultra processed food where we're like,

throwing together chemicals that, frankly, we don't even know what they are or what they do. So when we process our food, when we chop it, when we cook it, heat it up, boil it, steam it, whatever it may be, the food structure actually changes. And it's kind of interesting, Drew. There was a study that was done at the University of California, San Francisco by a gentleman.

His name is Professor Peter Turnenbaugh. He's one of the leaders in microbiome research out there. And essentially what he did is he took the exact same food, it was a plant food, the exact same plant food, and he served it both raw and in cooked form. And what he discovered is that you actually get different effects on the microbiome when you cook the food.

So there is no doubt that processing our food, specifically cooking our food, or cooking breaking it down, such as you would do with a smoothie, for example, that these are ways that we can make it easier for us to digest because in a way we're sort of pre-digesting that food through that process that we're doing. So I do think that there's benefits.

For the person who has gas and bloating, we're focusing on food right now. We could open this conversation up into bigger things too. when it comes to gas and bloating. But for the person who has gas and bloating, I do think that it's really important that you ease into your fiber intake. I always say start low, go slow.

And what that means is that we're going to try to get you in a place where the amount of fiber that's on your plate, you're actually capable of processing and digesting it. We wanna be at a level that actually is matched to what your gut microbiome is capable of doing. And then go slow basically means that we're going to start to escalate over time.
