Irritable bowel syndrome is a little bit more fluffy and symptomatic. It's like, you know, constipation, diarrhea, GI upset, real symptoms that people experience, but it's not exactly clear what's causing it. And you don't necessarily see signs on histology. So you look in the colon.

And so a lot of people have irritable bowel syndrome and those symptoms matter to people have bad constipation, diarrhea, bloating, like that's unpleasant, right? So for me, if I eat lower fiber and more animal-based, gearing towards more carnivore, my GI system is just happier. And my days are happier. I don't have to spend as much time in the bathroom in the morning. It makes my life easier.

And do I know for a fact that isn't affecting my long-term health negatively in some other ways? No, I don't. I absolutely don't. And I would say all things being equal, my personal opinion would be probably more diverse diet, more fermented foods, more fiber, all things being equal, which is really important. You're probably hedging your bets on a healthier gut and healthier life overall.

I don't know that for sure. There's actually literature suggesting maybe a carnivore diet and keto diet don't do things like decrease diversity or diversity isn't even that important. Actually, as a quick aside, there was just a paper that was published about on trying to restore the microbiome of people in industrialized society.

I think with people in Canada, and they were using a non-industrialized diet designed from the diet of people in Papua New Guinea. And it was interesting. It's called the Restore Diet. People go into PubMed. I think it was in Cell Host and Microbe, one of the cell journals. But what they found was that the diet improved, you know, cardiometabolic risk factors.

It was a plant-based diet, plant-based diet, restore diet that was not industrialized, improved health. It was thought to, quote, improve the microbiome, but diversity actually went down, which is interesting because it kind of like cuts out a couple, let's say, like motifs, themes, common wisdoms. And one of them is that more microbiome diversity is better.

I don't want to myth bust that right now. Like that is such a crude marker. Just having more diversity in your microbiome doesn't mean you have a healthier microbiome. All we really know about the microbiome of, you know, what is a healthy microbiome? It's a microbiome of healthy people. So it's really complicated to study.
