Hemp seeds, right? You could put, um, whatever nuts you like. Like I really dig walnuts. Uh. But whatever nuts, you throw some hemp seeds, you throw some cinnamon on there, that's an extra plant. You get a mix of berries. So yes, blueberries, but raspberries and strawberries and blackberries. Okay, that's four. Like that to me becomes the vehicle to accomplish this.

That thing that started off as just yogurt could end up with seven or eight different plants easily.

We don't have clear data on intermediate amounts of fermented food intake. So what that means is that like, let's start by acknowledging that the vast majority of Americans, their fermented food consumption as we sit here right now is zero. Or if it's any, it's probably yogurt. And that's it.

What we do have is a study out of Stanford University, and the Sonnenbergs had people really crank up their fermented food intake.

It was a lot. But it was to prove the point, like what happens with this intervention over the course of eight weeks? And what they found is increase in the diversity of the gut microbiome, reductions of inflammatory measures, right? So this is what's potentially on the table. What does an intermediate amount accomplish? We don't have total clarity on that.

But I also think that there's enough to sit here and say, I think it's worth it, even if it's an intermediate amount. I don't think that it should be, hey, you only should feel good about yourself if you get up to six servings of fermented food a day. That's really hard to get to, to be honest with you. Absolutely.

So let's opt to try to prioritize these foods and take it as far as we can possibly take it. What happens with fermented foods? What are the benefits in terms of the gut microbiome? Okay, zoom out for a quick moment and contemplate this. It's very interesting. Our gut is an ecosystem in the same way that the Great Barrier Reef or the Amazon rainforest is an ecosystem.

And a ferment is also an ecosystem. So it achieves a balance. And it's made up of all of these living microorganisms that include bacteria and yeasts. And through that balance, they are actively consuming and transforming components of that food that you have exposed them to. What they are depends. Like, are we talking about sauerkraut? Are we talking about kombucha? Are we talking about yogurt?
