Good families, like there's not some other explanation for this.

they look at the gut microbiome.

Clear changes in the gut microbiome.

Yeah, more inflammatory bacteria, less protective bacteria, and a loss of gut diversity.

Yeah, so these kids, again, this is years later, they have lost diversity in their gut.

That's basically moving towards a unwell, what we call dysbiosis, is what is occurring there.

And they were more likely to suffer with digestive symptoms.

They were more likely to feel anxious.

And they actually did a functional MRI to look at brain activity.

And they found that brain activity in these people who were adopted at B4H2 was different.

And their emotional processing and emotional regulation was out of whack.

So these are people, they've done nothing wrong.

They don't deserve what they've received.

They don't remember it.

They don't even remember it.

But here are these things that continue to sort of echo into adulthood that they can't even remember.

So it sounds to me like, correct me if I'm wrong, you could be eating all the right things and doing everything you can in your control to eat healthier.

if you haven't healed the trauma of the past whether it was in your control or out of your control you still might have a weaker gut microbiome a weaker immune system because of that is that correct this is a hundred percent correct i would even extend it beyond the food beyond the plate because there's other elements of our life that are really important to our health to the health of our gut microbiome exercise right you and i both love exercise

I could break down for you why exercise is good for the gut microbiome, but the point is you could do that.

You could sleep, you could meditate, you could try to do things.
