  1. “I think that's completely true. And I also think that like when we think about generational issues that exist. So, you know, in many studies, they'll say if your parents had this, then you're at risk for this. And we have assumed that these are genetic things. Yet much of the genetic research, much of which has been done by Tim Spector, my partner at Zoe, Much of that has not played out to prove that it is in fact genetic I think what's happening is not just the transfer of microbes. I think it's also the transfer of lifestyle. And the lifestyle that gets transferred by generation is if it's unhealthy, then unfortunately you're transferring along the problems that come with that.”

  2. “At some point, the loss of those species becomes problematic because each of those species is there with a purpose. We evolved to have them. And when they're absent, they're not able to do their job. And the other microbes may not be able to step up to actually do what's the job of what's missing”

  3. “And so basically, what he saw is that if you put them on a low fiber diet, that mouse will start to lose diversity, and then it will transfer that onto its offspring. And then that offspring who's still on a low fiber diet continues to lose diversity and transfer that onto their offspring, and so on. And what he found was that if during this process you intervene and you add back the fiber. Can actually restore on some level the diversity within the microb. You can wake them back up. They can come back But the issue is you won't get all the way back to the starting point. So there is a certain level of loss that has taken place as a result of those choices that were occurring over generations.”

  4. “It was Justin Sonnenberg study. So, Justin Sonnenberg is the guy that I'm a big fan of. He's out in Stanford, and he actually wrote a blurb on my first book, Fiberfield. And so the issue is that we want to understand microbial loss that can occur over generations because clearly our generation is different than our grandparents. And it's hard to do with humans because it takes us these days 30 or more years to create a new generation. But with mice, you can do this very quickly. So he basically started off with mice with a certain level of microbial diversity. The diversity of the microbiome is a measure of the health of their microbiome. And then he saw what happened with a low fiber diet.”

  5. “To a hundred times more cancer fighting chemical than adult broccoli has. So eating a pinch of broccoli sprouts can provide just as much benefit as eating a head of broccoli.”

  6. “But I want to rephrase this to say sprouts. So sprouts to me are superfoods. There's something magical that happens. What is a sprout, by the way, for people who are wondering? You could take any seed. And if you quite simply add water, you will unlock nature. Because basically that seed is waiting to germinate and grow. So when you enter this code of basically like unlocking it with water, it comes to life. It opens up and outshoots this plant. And that plant is the sprout. And the sprout is tremendously high in fiber, protein, but also phytochemicals. There's unique chemicals that you will find in these plants and in a disproportionate level compared to, for example, I mentioned broccoli sprouts. Broccoli sprouts have 50.”

  7. “S also stands for seaweed. So most cultures don't consume seaweed, but like, for example, in Japan, they do. And they're incredibly healthy as a result of this. It's another source of unique types of plants with unique sources of fiber. The last is I'm going to, in the book, I said sulfurophane, which refers to a cancer fighting chemical that you will find in broccoli sprouts.”

  8. “His legumes, so legumes includes beans, peas, and lentils. I would go back to saying, like, to me, this is the number one. The number one superfood because they're gut health foods and their longevity foods. And if we look at the evidence with heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, all across the board, you're going to see these reduce your likelihood of having those diseases. When I got to S, I kind of lost my mind because I felt like I have more that I want to say. So let me just pack it all in. So S stands for shrooms, meaning mushrooms. Mushrooms technically are not plants. They're fungi, but they contain fiber and are incredibly good for us. So they are honorary plants.”

  9. “Fermented. We've talked about fermented. You can add more diversity to your microbiome by adding fermented food. We need this. G, G stands for greens. Greens have almost no calories, yet tons of nutrition. That's good. And grains, by grains, I don't mean refined grains. Mean unrefined grains, so like whole grains. So good for us. Those are gut microbiome foods, high in fiber in resistance starches. Stands for omega-3 supersedes, so that's Chia flax, hemp, and also walnuts. Those contain omega-3 fats. Those are healthy fats that we need more of. Stands for Aromatics, so that's onions, garlic, shallots. They're delicious. They're also great for your heart and protect you from cancer.”

  10. “Saying actually the opposite, like I want people to have abundance. In fact, if you were to ask me what is the biggest misconception that exists in the gut health space, my answer to that question would be that people are very quick to restrict And less quick to add back. So, with regard to F goals This is my general framework. It is not the only thing, but this is my general framework for how I remember to organize my day in terms of foods that I'm trying to seek out. Letter represents different categories of food. So F, fruit, I think fruit has been inappropriately villainized. I think fruit's amazingly good for us. In fact, people that consume more fruit are less likely to have diabetes. They also lose weight.”

  11. “Insoluble fiber is the kind that's the grit, so if you were to add it to a drink, it's not dissolving. It's going to be there no matter what. You could boil the drink. There'll still be fiber in it. Insoluble fiber, most of the time is not the prebiotic fiber, but it does still serve a purpose. It helps in terms your bell transit, which affects your gut microbes. Helps in terms of your bowel movements, which affects your gut microbes. It helps in terms of other things such as your cholesterol and your blood fat control. So both types of fiber, both soluble and insoluble have advantages. You don't need to worry about those individually. You just need to know that plants have fiber. Every single plant has unique form of fiber. Every single plant will feed unique families of microbes as a result of this.”

  12. “Not all fiber is the same. Fiber is a very generic word. Fiber is like the word protein. No one would claim that the protein in a fish is the same as a protein in a bean. Yet both of them contain protein. Fiber is unique to individual plants. There are many, many different forms of fiber to the point that we don't even know how many exist. So what we know is this. It's rather simple, though, right? Despite that complexity, it's rather simple. All plants contain fiber. Every single plant has unique forms of fiber. We do split it into two major types. These are again umbrella terms. These are big labels. Soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is the kind that dissolves in a drink. It disappears. You don't even know that it's there. Yet typically the soluble fiber is feeding the microbes. That's the prebiotic fiber.”

  13. “Your gut is like a muscle, right? Like this is the way that I want people to understand this. Your gut is like a muscle. And a muscle is capable of work. It has limitations And the more that the muscle has been trained, the more capable of work it is. So if you Lift weights, you might start at We're doing a bench press. You might start at 50 kilos. You go to 55 kilos. The 60 kilos, and you work your way up. And that's the process of growing strong. And your gut works the exact same way. So if you expose your gut to food, Specifically, a diverse mix of different foods. Training your gut, and your gut will become more capable of consuming those foods over time. And then you can eventually get to a point where you don't have to then restrict based upon your capabilities because the capabilities are limitless. You can eat whatever you want”

  14. “And the emergence of them, many of them have increased five hundred percent in the last 50 years. Why would that be? It clearly is not genetics. So it has to be related to our diet and lifestyle. And ultimately, when we talk about our diet and lifestyle, we're talking about our microbiome.”

  15. “But it has the ability to flip genes off and on. Has the ability to turn down your immune system. So, as an example, when I think about autoimmune conditions, if we were to get super into the details of autoimmune conditions, what you would discover is that we need more shortchain fatty acids to empower these specific cells called t regulatory cells. And those T regulatory cells would actually turn down our immune system and protect us. And it's not to say that autoimmune diseases are exclusively the result of a fiber deficiency. Is certainly a genetic component, but there was a genetic component 200 years ago, 300 years ago. And yet these conditions really weren't that much of a problem back then. So many of these conditions didn't have a name until the last 100 years”

  16. “Eating fiber or resistant starches. Then those shortchain fatty acids go to work and our immune cells. Human cells have receptors to receive these shortchain fatty acids and act upon the information that they receive. So you could think of them as like a signaling molecule in the sense that your gut microbiome is not talking to your body and telling your body what it wants your body to do.”

  17. “Story's just going to start though. Story is just going to start because the issue is that that's the simple part, right? These magicians that live inside of us release these shortchain fatty acids for us.”
