A Second Look: Rewilding the Gut

On today’s an episode we bring you a special presentation by Lucy Mailing Phd from the ancestral health symposium. All of our past AHS presentations can be found on our UA-cam channel ( / @ancestryfoundation )
Rewilding the gut: what modern microbiome science can tell us about restoring ancestral diversity - Lucy Mailing (AHS21) The gut microbiota plays essential roles in human health and has been implicated in many chronic diseases. This dense community of microbes has co-evolved with its host over million years of evolution, but in recent decades has been substantially affected by modern industrialization. According to some estimates, we’ve lost about half of our ancestral microbial diversity. In this talk, I discuss the evidence for lost microbial diversity, the effects of diet on the industrialization of the gut microbiota, and the potential benefits for a “wilder” gut microbiome. I also review several studies that highlight potential strategies to “rewild” the gut, including the removal of processed foods, the inclusion of fiber or fermented foods, exercise, time spent in natural environments, social interaction, and fecal transplants.

Well before you continue, I've been a carnivore or a virtual carnivore for over thirty years and haven't even had as much as a cold or a toothache in all this time. I've been much better off without feeding livestock in my digestive system thank you very much.
Microbiome I'm sure has a field day on sugar and fibre, both (or neither of which) do I have the need for so I find I'm perfectly healthy so I don't breed this echo system in my gut, needless to say I don't poop out nearly as much as the vast majority of the population.
Cows and sheep do a great job of feeding the soil with the microbiome that we need to grow food.
