0:00.0	There's not just one gut diet that's right for every person, that actually there's different
0:09.0	gut types depending on the level of severity of their gut issues.
0:14.0	Stressed out people had a hard time healing their gut, even when they were doing the right diet and taking all the right
0:22.3	supplements. Things just didn't move in as fast of a direction as they could if they addressed
0:29.1	their nervous system overactivation. Welcome to the Melanie Avalon biohacking podcast, where we meet
0:36.7	the world's top experts to explore the
0:39.1	secrets of health, mindset, longevity, and so much more. Are you ready to take charge of your
0:45.0	existence and biohack your life? This show is for you. Please keep in mind, we're not dispensing
0:51.5	medical advice and are not responsible for any outcomes you may

1:40.5	which is epic and its diversity levels. And yet they follow a very limited diet. What's going on
1:46.2	there? What's the secret? To that point, we talk about what are probably the two keys to gut
1:51.4	diversity. We talk about a fascinating and sort of shocking study on the role of fiber versus
1:57.5	fermented foods when it comes to gut health. We also talk about the idea of intuitive
2:01.5	eating and how can you eat intuitively if your gut bugs are telling you to eat, processed food
