You’re feeding yourself — but are you feeding your microbiome?
Most of us are unknowingly creating a mass extinction event inside our gut every day. The culprit? Modern, ultra-processed food.
Your gut is a living ecosystem. And like any ecosystem, it depends on diversity. When your diet lacks fiber, fermented foods, and real plants — and is packed with preservatives and fake flavor — your good bacteria start dying off.
The Gut-Killers in Your Kitchen
Let’s call them the “Microbiome Extinction Team”:
- Emulsifiers – Found in sauces, ice cream, nut milk
→ Strip gut lining, destroy microbial balance - Seed Oils – Canola, sunflower, soybean
→ Highly inflammatory, disrupt gut-brain signaling - Artificial Sweeteners – Aspartame, sucralose
→ Kill beneficial bacteria, confuse insulin response - Low-Fiber Diets
→ Starve your gut bacteria to death - Sanitized, Sterile Food
→ Nothing living = nothing growing in your gut
Why This Matters
Without a strong microbiome, you’re vulnerable to:
- Food sensitivities
- Autoimmune issues
- Brain fog
- Anxiety
- Skin conditions
- Fatigue
You’re not just what you eat — you’re what your bacteria can use.
Reverse the Extinction
- Eat 30+ different plant foods per week
- Add fermented foods daily
- Choose raw or minimally processed when you can
- Rotate your foods to feed different bacteria
- Support small, diverse food producers (like Gut Bar!)
Bottom Line:
Your microbiome is your survival system. Stop starving it. Here is a link to READ MORE.
