And I'm not of the belief that that is the truth, the true story. Like, I don't think that's the case. But I do believe that there are like clearly people that are reacting to these foods. And in some cases, I think those reactions are related to this.
All right, so we allow glyphosate into our food supply because we say that it does not harm humans through the shikimate pathway. But the issue is that it does destroy microbes.

And the barrier, like the... Well, when you destroy the microbiome, you destroy the barrier. So the barrier is constantly revising itself. So our intestine is like multiple football fields of surface area. It's kind of interesting to think about. Inside of us could be that much space.

Multiple football fields of surface area. And then get more microscopic with it. Every single blade of grass has microbes that are taking up residence there and part of that system. And this is the inside of us. And so the issue from my perspective is that when you have like this much surface area, it revises itself every three days. You have a brand new gut barrier every three days.

So it's in a state of perpetual maintenance. It's not just like, you don't just build the wall and leave it. You're constantly maintaining the wall. And when we disrupt our ability to do that, then we suffer consequences.

Sometimes I feel like the hype is outpacing the science as I see it. That being said, there's an intuitive element to this. which is that our body is designed to sort of be in two main modes and that dominates our daily circadian rhythm. And our gut clearly has its own circadian rhythm. So the concept of fasting is simply allowing the gut to rest.

I've seen people with serious inflammatory bowel disease, like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. And one of the techniques that we will use in the hospital is actually to rest their bowels. And it helps to get their immune system cooled off and back into alignment. So I do think that there's value to, and by the way, the research would support that there is value to resting the gut.

it doesn't need to be like an aggressive multi-day thing. To me, it's more so, like this is the pattern that I see, is aligning how we eat with a natural 24-hour cycle.
