Coming up on today's show. I'm just going to say this has been a game changer for me. I always get my morning sunlight by 9 o'clock.

Through that light exposure you are producing serotonin in the gut which helps to stimulate your gut motility

Which is a healthy gut is going to ultimately shape your

gut microbiome and provide potential benefits throughout the body but simultaneously

there's serotonin being produced in your brain as serotonin is creating energy and an uplifted mood for the day.

But 12 to 16 hours from now because you got that morning wide exposure, the gifts will continue. The thing that you do with the microbiome consistently,

it will start with a small effect on that snowball. That snowball is a pebble, and then a marble,

and then a tennis ball, and then a softball, and then a basketball ball and then a softball and then a basketball and eventually it's that big

snowball careening powerfully down the side of a mountain. This is how small choices

can have big profound effects on our health.

Dr B. I have quite a few people in my audience who are carnivore, animal-based, low-carb, somewhere in that territory with diet and the way they eat.

A lot of them are going to be quickly dismissive of a lot of the things we're going to talk about today, such as fiber and eating more plants,

before they click away, explain to them why they need to come into this with an open mind

and that they can still get value from what we're about to share.

Well, I think the way that I would start that conversation

is by first saying that I'm

quite sure that when they actually pursue their own

dietary approach, they're asking others to be open-minded to what they're

doing. And that to me is a grace that should be extended both ways, right? In today's world, we need to have these conversations and find common ground and find ways to understand and appreciate one another and also learn from one another.

And so I think that there's an opportunity to do that.

And the thing about it, Jesse, from my perspective, is that anyone who makes

dietary change in the interest of better health is a person that has my respect
