Healing Secrets: The wisdom of your microbiome

The Superpowers of your gut. Repair, Restore, and Rebalance your body's miraculous microbiome.

Human biology is a symphony. It is a harmonious coordination of the many different instruments that compose your body and the relationship you have to all of nature.

The great conductor of that symphony is, in many ways, your gut and its microbiome.

If you want to maximise your health you must learn to nourish the invisible gardens growing on and in every organ, and particularly throughout your entire digestive system. Understanding begins at the top with your mouth and sinuses and then, organ by organ, explores how we live in miraculous symbiosis with trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites.

From the stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas to the small and large intestines, empowered with this knowledge is a extremely important stag which will help you appreciate and optimise the innate superpowers of your gut.

• Why your sinuses are constructed like seashells — and why deep breathing is optimal for your microbiome.
• Why chewing properly increases the nutrient bioavailability of your food.
• How the stomach “listens” to the food you eat.
• How the small intestine’s incredible surface area makes it the ultimate organ for receiving from nature.
• The miraculous regenerative capacity of the liver.
• The link between your colon and your intelligence.

“To live a life full of vitality we must harmonise, not just with each other, but with the life inside and around us. Once we do, we become part of this whole life system that will allow for adaptation and healing to happen.”

Sinuses: The Beginning of the journey

The journey of the microbiome starts with the sinuses. While you may only eat a few times a day, you breathe 10 to 20 times every minute. The breath brings in a vast download of information from the bacteria, fungi, yeast, and protozoa in your environment. As we start to think about gut health, we actually begin here, with each breath.

The Extraordinary Esophagus

The esophagus is simply a tube that runs from your mouth to stomach, moving food from one to another and yet as we dig into its structure we find an extraordinarily intricate organ that mirrors many aspects of the beauty of the body. This simple tube ends up displaying the sheer miracle of a day in the life of a human being. The way the liver communicates with the small intestines via the gallbladder and pancreas is quite exquisite. It is a symphony of cooperation that happens in the first couple inches of the small intestine. This is where the real work of nutrient availability gets going.

The Regenerative Liver

This incredible organ is at ground zero when it comes to detoxification and nutrient preparation. The liver is trying to figure out how to communicate between two radically different microbial populations: those of your gut and those of the internal environment of your cells — i.e. your mitochondria. The human sits in this ethereal zone between these two vast ecosystems of microbes.

Brain: The Central Processing Unit

The brain is a central processing unit. It is taking information, organizing it into patterns, and putting it back out. Where does that raw information come from? We look to the gut and its microbiome as a fundamental source of what comes into the brain.

Mouth: Your Intimate Experience with Food

You have an intimate relationship with everything you put in your mouth, so it’s worth considering how well you chew and taste. Taste exists to give you information about the nutritional value of food and how it will interact with your physiology. The tongue is a magical instrument: Remember the power of flavour, slow down, chew well, and experience food again.

How the Stomach Listens to Your Food

In terms of its surface area and musculature, the stomach is designed to listen to your food. What is your stomach listening to? It’s listening to how your food was grown, lived, and died. It’s picking up on the microRNA that was in your food right at the moment you consumed it.

Small Intestine: An Intimate Relationship

The small intestine is at the center of gut health — no other organ is in such close relationship with your food. This is where you prepare to receive all that nature has given you so that you can be a vibrant being living in this reality.

The Intelligent Colon

The colon is where your quantum relationship with food manifests. All the macro processing of food is completed, and now your body and the microbial environment is relating at the level of water, electrolytes, and trace minerals. The level of complexity of these trace minerals is mirrored in the vast microbial complexity of the colon.

The Beauty of the Skin

What creates beauty? When you look at the skin of a human being, it is not just an epithelial covering to a body of meat. You’re looking at an interface with light. The gut-skin axis is your pathway to show those around you the beauty of the divine.

Healing Secrets: The Wisdom of Your Microbiome

Many of today's most fatal diseases, including cancer, diabetes, obesity, and dementia, are rooted in a dysfunctional microbiome. This dysfunction is an expression of an even larger problem across society — our disconnection from and exploitation of nature.

Technology drives us towards comfort and convenience, but the result is that we live vastly more sterile, sedentary, and disease-prone lifestyles than our ancestors.

We have cut ourselves off from the very roots necessary to live in a thriving state.

If you want to live a long, healthy life, you must first learn how to repair, heal, and care for your microbiome.

Understand will inspire you to build a resilient and biodiverse foundation for your health.

10% Human: How your body’s microbes Hold the key to health and happiness.

You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony.

Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them.

shocking, and beautiful information draws on the latest scientific research to show how our personal colony of microbes influences our weight, our immune system, our mental health, and even our choice of partner. Many of our modern diseases—obesity, autism, mental illness, digestive disorders, allergies, autoimmunity afflictions, and even cancer—have their root in our failure to cherish our most fundamental and enduring relationship: that with our personal colony of microbes.

Many of the questions about modern diseases left unanswered by the Human Genome Project are illuminated by this new science. And the good news is that unlike our human cells, we can change our microbes for the better.

Focus on your health not your weigh, Stop trying to be skinny and start trying to be healthy.

Once you build these healthy habits you will wonder how you have been able to lived without them.
