Truth bombs that will blow your mind, change your approach and get you on the road to better health What I came to understand was that I needed to fix my gut to fix my problems. And, when I did, I not only felt better, I was able to restore function. Not only could I eat a few scoops of beans or a bowl of pasta without pain, I actually became capable of eating them without restriction. I no longer had to fear my food. I knew how to become an even healthier version of the person I used to be. The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as award-winning gastroenterologist Dr Will Bulsiewicz, or 'Dr B', illuminates in this groundbreaking book, the explosion of studies on the microbiome show that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What research clearly indicates is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fibre from an abundant variety of colourful plants.

When it comes to grains, it's pretty intuitive. Drop the refined stuff, such as white rice and highly processed bread, but don't be carb-phobic. Dr. B says that if you want a healthy gut, whole grains are essential. It’s important to note that the author urges the reader to think of this not as a diet plan but rather a “Culinary Adventure.” We will head out on this adventure learning new recipes, new ingredients, and experiment with exotic flavors. But First, Why Fiber? We will also cover why some individuals have trouble digesting raw plant fibers and how we can fix that for good. It all Starts with our Microbes

Fact: Food is the #1 determinant of health and disease during your lifetime.

We’ve made health too complicated with our extensive lists of foods to avoid, complex percentages of fats-to-protein-to-carb ratios, elimination diets, calorie counting, even weighing our food—and despite all these rules, we’re not getting any better. It just doesn’t need to be this complicated. Diversity of plants. That’s it. That’s all you have to remember. Done. No more annoying food lists. If you follow this one rule, it will lead you to better health. And it will always be the truth no matter what happens: No matter what changes on this planet or in our lifestyles, this core tenet of better health will stay the same.” We have specific genes found in the epithelial lining in the large intestine. These genes produce more mucins. Two of these specific genes we can see in Figure 2. These are; Muc2 (Mucin 2) and Fut2 (2’fucosyltransferase). Delve into the world of Akkermansia and discover how you can help to stimulate its growth through the consumption of prebiotics, probiotics and the production of postbiotics, a.k.a. the gut farmer diet. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown There are a few key strains of bacteria that can be considered the “masters” of our microbiome. These are strains that thrive on the fiber we consume.

Joining The Plant Fed Gut Masterclass comes along with plenty of perks, and Dr. B’s Digestible Guide to Plant Points is one of them! If you’re not yet familiar, Plant Points are a fun way to meet my golden rule of getting more plants into your daily diet. Because as we all know by now (hopefully!), more plants equals more health.All of the following plant-based recipes contain at least 6 grams of fiber per serving. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, and desserts included (yes, dessert can have fiber, too). Fresh herbs count for 1 point but dried herbs and spices do not. They are however, heavily encouraged throughout the fiber fueled plan. It sounds like a bit of a mouthful, but studies show that this compound creates healthy microbes and restores harmony to the gut. But, what's sulforaphane, and where can you find it? Sulforaphane is unique to the cruciferous family of vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. In Conclusion If you've read more than 1-2 books on plant-based eating and gut health/gut bugs, you won't find much new information here (perhaps a new study or two). We will become gut health masters as we begin this new and exciting culinary journey. The point system is here to help you and remind you to increase diversity over time. With patience, we will begin to notice that it takes less effort to search for foods we know we’ll love at the grocery store. Accumulating these points will allow us to move to the highest level as our true healing journey has only just begun.

There are many side effects of having poor gut health. A relatively common condition is "leaky gut." This is a condition where small pieces of food penetrate the intestinal wall, and enter the bloodstream. They certainly don't belong there. This infiltration triggers a cascade of events - all of which are bad news for us. You will have unlimited access to the course after registering. This provides time to go through the course and also revisit the content once the course is complete. You’ll also have the opportunity to join future rounds of the The Plant Fed Gut with the Plant Fed Family discount.Pushing yourself to achieve greatness! Feel amazing and witness the healing power of plants and their fiber. The power that our gut microbes wield to induce disease or protect us from it can be intimidating, but we are not helpless victims. We have the power of science on our side, which has shown us that we can use diet and lifestyle to rebalance our gut microbes. So where do we begin if we want to heal our guts to reverse or prevent illness? Is it probiotics? Bone broth? Well, if you were sitting across from me in my office, I’d be going straight for my secret weapon – fiber. Fruits and veggies are everything but what's most important is the VARIETY of fruits and vegetables. If all you eat is kale all day every day you will be very unhealthy. Make sure to make time for nature, mediation, and exercise. Calm your stressful cortisol levels down. Changes in your gut are underway. Your gut microbiome is shifting for the better. Here, we will notice healthier bowel movements and overall better digestion.

In Fibre Fuelled, Dr B offers a truly transformative programme that will optimise your digestion, strengthen your immune system and take control of your health Professor Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth and Spoon Fed Also, quite a bit of presumption and simplification/minification of deeper problems. He presents his lifestyle and diet as this idyllic version of perfection that we should all strive for and describes it in excessively glowing terms. This ignores that a lot of people eat poorly for emotional reasons, not because they're ignorant of nutrition.There's no doubt that the key to good health lies in the gut - and in Fiber Fueled, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz delivers an authoritative and refreshingly clear picture on how to optimize gut health, informed by cutting edge science. Fiber Fueled lays out a path to improving gut health that's accessible, inspiring, and most importantly, achievable.
