| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's Mimi. Welcome to our new weekly Mimi Moments, a new series focusing on short impactful |
| 0:07.8 | excerpts from some of the most powerful conversations that I've had on the show. I hope it elevates your day and if you want to hear the whole episode |
| 0:14.9 | there's a link in the show notes. Thanks for listening. Enjoy. |
| 0:19.9 | Well what is your body doing when it's holding on the toxin? It gets inflamed, right? |
| 0:24.0 | It swells, right? You have stubborn weight loss, but here is the most important part when it comes to weight loss and |
| 0:29.6 | plant-based foods. Plant-based foods, I just mentioned fiber, plant-based foods, the fiber in it, right, once it starts going through |
| 0:37.2 | your digestive system and gets to your colon, it starts feeding on the microbiome. |
| 0:41.2 | It starts promoting the growth of those positive, those really beneficial |
| 0:46.5 | bacteria in our colon and starts reducing the growth of all those pathogenic bacteria. |
| 0:51.7 | Why is that important? Because now we are finding that the microbiome |
| 0:55.3 | is tightly connected to weight loss, stubborn weight loss. So if you're feeding those bugs in your |

| 1:32.8 | When they're flaming the brain, when they're high in pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, that's |
| 1:37.5 | brain inflammation. Of course, of course you're not going to be in the best of moods. |
| 1:41.6 | But we have to go back and like I said, a gut brain access if we're not going to be in the best of the moods. But we have to go back and like I said, a gut brain axis, if we're not feeding our body, right? We're not feeding our body with fiber, because that's what our gut feeds on. The microbiome feeds on that fiber. That's when it has a huge party. |
| 1:55.1 | Well if you're eating, let's say, a carnivore diet and you're not having plants, you're not really |
