Right, so as humans radiated out from Africa, as we went across the globe, the issue is we were running into so much variety that the human body is not capable from an evolutionary perspective of keeping up with that variety. So we needed something else that could help us. So we internalized this organ

the microbiome that actually has that capacity to basically like adapt and adjust and bring forward the enzymes that we need when we need them. And again, it's the intelligence of nature. So fiber, we don't have the enzymes to break down, but our gut microbes could literally have, there's estimates that they have 60,000 unique enzymes.

So when fiber goes through our intestine, passes through, and it enters into the colon unchanged because it hasn't yet come into contact with microbes. And in the colon, these microbes get to work as a team, unpacking, breaking down the fiber, and it stops being fiber, and it gets transformed into a fat. And these are the short-chain fatty acids, butyrate, acetate, and propionate.

So when I was just alluding to these a moment ago, these three things, we call these butyrate, acetate, and propionate, we call these postbiotics. They're produced by the microbiome. And in the very beginning of the show, I mentioned that things, chemicals produced by your microbiome can heal your blood-brain barrier. This is what we're talking about, this right here.

in the same way that these things can heal your gut barrier, in the same way that these things will elevate the healthy microbes and suppress the inflammatory bad ones, and in the same way that these chemicals are what can, through at least five, maybe six different mechanisms, I forget the exact number, can disrupt cancer cells in the colon.

They have all these healing effects right there within the intestines, but then they also enter into the bloodstream. They have healing effects on our metabolism in terms of blood sugar control, blood pressure, our cholesterol, in terms of satiety.

So like GLP-1, which is commercialized as Ozempic, is produced when short-chain fatty acids come into contact with these cells that line our body and make us feel full. That's why fiber is so satiating. they affect our immune system. They're the most anti-inflammatory thing I've ever come across.

They affect hormone levels, both for men and for women, both male sex hormones and female sex hormones, allowing us to achieve healthy hormonal balance. That's right for our body. They affect our mood. They affect the blood-brain barriers, like brain fog. To me, you know, you go to your doctor, you say, I feel like I have brain fog. And they kind of roll their eyes.
