so I’m not sure if you know this or not

that internment of fasting can

supercharge your gut microbes when you

put bacteria on a fast or mice or fruit

flies or bugs they live a lot longer you

see an increased resistance to oxidative

stress and xenobiotic stress this is

exposure to chemicals like in

chemotherapy for example if someone goes

through chemotherapy and they’re fasting

the microbes which make up a lot of the

immune system can survive longer when

you do fasting you increase diversity of

microbes that’s cool you also increase

tolerance to bad bacteria

it also will restore intestinal

epithelium which is the lining of your

colon and I already touched on they live

longer as well and when you’re doing

fasting you starve off the food the

sugar for yeast and Candida so you kill

off the bad population the pathogenic

microbes and you help the good

population and these microbes do a lot

for you they help recycle it increase

your bile acids which help you digest

fats and extract that sample vitamins

omega-3 fats they help make butyrate

which is a healthy fat that helps your

blood Sugar’s okay so it’ll help insulin

resistance it feeds your colon cells the

fuel that gives them energy and by the

way fiber converts to butyrate if you go

on a diet that’s low in fiber but say

carnivore diet people always want to

know well what’s gonna happen to my

microbes long term well we don’t know

there’s not a lot of studies out there

there’s some people experimenting right

now and what they’re finding is there’s

shifts from one population of microbes

to a completely different set of

microbes you’re getting less

fermentation which means that you’re

gonna have less acids potentially that

could be an issue but we don’t know yet

we do know that if someone has a history

of microbial imbalance SIBO which is

small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

inflammatory conditions was about they

do very well

without a lot of vegetables

but microbes I’ll make branched-chain

amino acids they make the amino acids to

help you build neurotransmitters they

help you make vitamins and get rid of

toxins and decrease inflammation so what

we want to do is you want to support

these microbes and one way to do it is

intermittent fasting so if you’re

enjoying this content go ahead and share

it with someone that could really

benefit from it
