Upside-Down Nourishment This week's microbiome definition: CROSSFEEDING Cross feeding in our microbiome means that there is metabolic interdependence between species where one species’ metabolic products feed another. For example some species produce lactate as a byproduct of eating fiber then other species eat the lactate and turn it into butyrate. This helps to supports ecosystem stability of our microbiome. What does that mean for you? You need to eat a variety of fibers and polyphenols in order to support a variety of species who produces many different substrates to feed other bugs in order for you to be healthy! It also means you need to avoid things that kill off your bugs because once one type of bug is killed it will effect the entire echo system of the environment. Avoid antibiotics, glyphosate, alchohol, stress etc. If you are interested in building a diverse and resilient microbiome to eliminate you pain and build a long and enjoyable life consider investing in yourself and joining me for Upside-Down Nourishment or returning to Upside-Down Nourishment personalized programs, please fill out this form to see if we might be a good fit to work together. Do not let distance stop you! I work with clients all over the world via Zoom! REMEMBER, self care is health care! If you don't care for yourself you won't be able to care for anyone else. Have a beautiful day! Lisa |
