What you'll learn from this episode:
How humans turned to grains during times of food scarcity, but since we never evolved to properly digest these foods, keeping them in our diets has resulted in long-term deterioration of health, such as autoimmune disorders and bowel diseases.
What are phytates, why are they detrimental to our health, and which deficiencies are they associated with?
The tell-tale signs of SIBO, including food intolerances to FODMAPs, nightshades, legumes, and conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, restless leg syndrome, and fibromyalgia.
How traditional treatment for SIBO’s efficacy is mediocre at best, and why treatment with specifically targeted microbes is promising.
Turning back the clock with Lactobacillus reuteri—how this particular microbe is associated with preserving bone density, smoother skin, better sleep, increased libido, and restoration of muscle.
And so much more!
