And that's
That's really our idea is to really make people think about food in a different way because it's not about a few weeks and I can lose a few pounds.
It's how do I shift everything about my body and my gut microbes in that right direction that's gonna last me for decades and help my immune system and everything else.
And once you start to feel better, then it becomes obvious.
And our studies have also shown that if you do this and you disregard calories,
you will lose weight and you actually get less hunger.
So all of the trials we do, whether it's with our prebiotic, our fermented food, or following the app, hunger signals go down.
And this is because
When you're eating things like plants and improving your gut microbes, it's sending different signals to your brain than if you're just having low calorie junk food.
And I think that's really important that, you know, we've got to get back to quality of food and not about calories and quantity.
No, the food matrix is really another way of talking about food structure.
And it's another example of how calorie counting is important.

And yet, we know from careful experiments that if you give people almond flour, they'll be getting like 20% more calories from that than the raw almonds and the energy because
If you break it down as the industrial food places do into its tiniest components, you're breaking apart the cells of the plant.
And when you do that, you're releasing sugars or fats that are stored inside there.
Whereas if you have whole nuts, for example, a lot of those fats and sugars in those are not going to be absorbed until really low down, or they might actually pass out in the toilet.
That's what we're talking about when we're structuring.
There's lots of examples, whether it's nuts or chickpeas is another one.
If you have whole chickpeas rather than you mush it up as hummus, there's a slight difference in how you absorb it and its effect on the body.
