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”:

  1. Emulsifiers – Found in sauces, ice cream, nut milk
    → Strip gut lining, destroy microbial balance
  2. Seed Oils – Canola, sunflower, soybean
    → Highly inflammatory, disrupt gut-brain signaling
  3. Artificial Sweeteners – Aspartame, sucralose
    → Kill beneficial bacteria, confuse insulin response
  4. Low-Fiber Diets
    → Starve your gut bacteria to death
  5. 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.
