About this listen
Scientists have consistently measured that we are predisposed to either leanness or obesity. This is based on one characteristic: microbiological richness. Microbiome richness is what fuels a fat-burning metabolism.
What the microbiologists call a lean phenotype, an individual predisposed to leanness, hosts a richness of 100,000+ microbes per milliliter in the small intestine. In the large intestine, a mind-boggling 1,000,000,000,000+, a shitload of zeros, a stunning amount of microbes per milliliter, of trillions of microbes per milliliter.
This staggering number of microbes may weigh as much as 5 pounds (~2.3 kg), roughly the weight of our brains! In a fat-burning microbiome, these multitudes function as a community. Our microbiome is what gives us the power to burn fat!
The lean phenotypes host a wealth of microbes that break down food, absorb nutrients, and inoculate against gut roaches. It’s enriched with microbes that ensure not only intestinal health but also neuro-resilience, our sense of well-being, allowing us to manage brain hunger. A lean phenotype is rich with specialized microbes, like the cholesterol managers, the ones that determine how much fat ends up in our bloodstream. They manage glucose balance, mental acuity, and sleep quality.
On the other side of the spectrum is the obese phenotype, a metabolism predisposed to storing fat and has a hell of a time burning its fat stores. Twenty-three percent of all the human microbiomes exhibit the characteristics of the obese phenotype. The predisposition to store fat not only lacks the populations of the lean phenotype but is also burdened with polluted fat cells, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, poor insulin sensitivity, the list of fat-storing issues goes on and on.
Oh my God, this is depressing, I need a drink!
But it’s actually great news! Microbiologists have provided evidence that alterations in our microbiome define our weight and predisposition to leanness or obesity. We’re learning that obesity is not just obesity. It’s not simply overeating or a character flaw. The microbiome is the fundamental fat-burning organ. Without understanding what’s keeping us fat, nothing works, so we despair. But knowledge is empowering, the game-changer that will allow us to end dieting…for the rest of our lives.
By understanding the characteristics of our microbiomes, we can reverse the predisposition to fat-storing, once and for, achieve our weight goal and be free of endless diets!
If you’re ready to change your weight destiny, microbiological richness unlocks that door!

Story
There are a number of vitamins, minerals, plant components, and herbs that are beneficial to the immune system. Finding specific foods that boost the immune system can be complicated, because certain vitamins work best when taken with other vitamins. For instance, vitamin C, probably the most commonly recommended vitamin for infection resistance, works best when taken with calcium and magnesium. Calcium, among the other vital roles that it plays in the body, helps the cells absorb vitamin C and other nutrients more efficiently.

A disordered brain function can be the result of an unhealthy gut. The latter is caused by chemical imbalances triggered by an unhealthy diet. Chemical imbalances can disrupt how your digestive system works in absorbing the nutrients needed to boost your immunity and your brain. When this continues, the brain-gut connection will become toxic, resulting in a weak immune system and poor mental health. So, to help your kid overcome emotional and behavioral problems, you need to be mindful of their diet.
