This is where diversity within the microbiome, this is where diversity with our diet become very important. because ultimately what we want is we want to eat a wide variety of plant foods that allow us to feed a wide variety of different microbes. So all of these different types of fiber, they're all unique.

Now, Drew, to answer your question a little bit more directly, some types of fiber are better at producing butyrate, some are better at producing the other short chain fatty acids. There's another thing that I should toss in here while we're talking about fiber and we're talking about butyrate, and those are the resistant starches. resistant starches are technically not fiber. They're starch.

You will find them in green bananas. You will find them in mashed potatoes when they cool off. You have to cool off the mashed potatoes to form the resistant starch. But this starch is not processed by our digestive system. And as a result, the resistant starch actually behaves exactly like fiber.

And what's interesting, Drew, is that the resistant starch tends to support and produce a significant amount of butyrate, which is part of the reason why there's an emerging science that is increasingly showing us that there are benefits to us, including these resistant starch type foods in our diet.

So again, potatoes, when they're cooled off, green bananas, you'll also find resistant starches in legumes and beans, things of that variety, whole grains.

I grew up hearing about how genetics ruin everything. I'm here to say that there's an opportunity to change that. So here's the thing. The microbiome is basically a community of microorganisms. This impacts our digestion, our metabolism, our mood, our cognition. I don't think that there's an element of the human experience that isn't in some way connected back to our gut microbiome.

The problem is if the root of an issue is not addressed, they will get worse. It's amazing to see people who have tried everything within the conventional healthcare system failed and discover that there is something that's been affecting them. And if you address that, healing happens so naturally. So we've been kind of alluding to this, but let's just get very direct with it.
