The Importance of a Balanced Microbiome for Optimal Health and Wellness

IN THIS EPISODE:

Importance of Short Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) production
It is beneficial for clients to improve their short chain fatty acid production, as SCFAs play a crucial role in gut lining integrity, metabolic balance, and sleep schedule regulation. SCFAs like butyrate are essential for overall gut health.

Resistant Starch on Gut Microbiota
If clients do not consume enough resistant starch, it can lead to a reduction in beneficial bacteria like bifidobacteria and other essential microbes. Resistant starches naturally discourage the opportunistic bacteria and encourage biodiversity in the microbiome. Food preparation and a variety of resistant starches is needed to increase the diversity in the microbiome to improve gut integrity and benefit metabolic health.

Diverse Fiber-Rich Diet for Gut Health
To support the growth of beneficial bacteria like bifidobacteria, clients need to consume a spectrum of fiber-rich foods, including colorful plant foods. Just relying on probiotics or isolated fibers may not be enough to promote a healthy gut microbiome. A varied diet with different types of fiber is essential for overall gut health
