Microbiome

Trillions of microbes, and the diversity of the plants you eat predicts their diversity better than any single food.

What matters most

  • Thirty different plants a week is the benchmark worth chasing.
  • Herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, and wholegrains all count toward the thirty.
  • Antibiotics, stress, and low-fiber weeks narrow diversity; food rebuilds it.
