How to Supercharge Your Microbiome with Fiber & Starch
Description
Take care of your microbiome, and it will take care of you
Did you know that every meal feeds not only you, but also the trillions of microorganisms living in your digestive tract? Research continues to suggest that the foods we eat directly influence our gut microbiome, which plays an essential role in digestion, metabolism, immune function, inflammation, and inter-organ communication throughout the body.
In this quickie episode of the Everyone Dies podcast, we dive into how fiber-rich foods and resistant starch nourish beneficial gut bacteria—and why ultra-processed foods may have the opposite effect. You'll learn why calories from whole foods are handled differently than calories from highly processed foods, how short-chain fatty acids support metabolic health, and practical ways to include more microbiome-friendly foods in your daily meals.
