The gut is our soil and like the soil, it must be microbially diverse to support life. Everyday we choose what to put in our bodies. Marketing firms spend millions to figure out how to trick people into consuming literal junk and garbage. Our current “sick care system” spends little time focused on our diets in order to serve pharmaceutical companies more concerned with “alleviating symptoms” rather than addressing the root cause. It’s a business model that nets them billions of dollars in profits by perpetuating illness rather than curing it.
There are inexpensive ways to circumvent this system and one of the easiest ways is by incorporating more fermented foods and drinks into your diet! Unfortunately, the results of decades of chemical poisoning means that some bodies are allergic to these very nutritious foods. If you have a histamine allergy, discuss with your primary care practitioner to ensure your organism is able to tolerate and benefit.
