HOW DID I HEAL MY MICROBIOME AND DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?

​

Since the end of 2017, after taking a sequence genetics of the RNA of my microbiome_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d, I had to enrich my digestive system and realize that I had to enrich and repair my digestive system. I decided to use two tools that I had on hand:

​

1)healed my leaky gutwith regenerative slow cooker broths and

​

2)I repopulated and enriched the diversity and bacterial richness of my microbiomewith the daily consumption of mother vinegar and ferments of all kinds: kimchis, sauerkrauts, jun + kombucha, probiotic sauces.

 

After 2 years of sustaining the consistency of this exercise and the intention to heal my digestive system, I was able to eat bread again after 20 years of not being able to eat bread, pizza or pasta because I didn't like them: I woke up bloated, with dark circles and tired. I defined myself as someone with a severe intolerance to incurable gluten.

 

Indeed, it was not an incurable condition but rather I had a compromised digestive system, weakened by a diet in my childhood that was varied (I grew up in Paris and we ate a lot out of Japanese, Chinese, Indian, French, etc) also at home I was exposed to a lot of industrialized food devoid of nutrients and genetic memory.

​

I then moved from Tokyo to NY in 2009 and was exposed to America's highly processed, denatured, and antibiotic-filled food for a while, before starting to investigate in 2010 how food is produced and its impact not only on our bodies and metabolism but also in soils and ecosystems around the world.
