We've been fermenting HUMAN-SOURCED microbes to generate very high microbial counts and obtain specific health benefits. The end-result looks and smells sort of like conventional yogurt, but it is NOT yogurt. (I called it "yogurt" for lack of a better term.) It's my way of generating high counts of important microbes that most people have lost due to antibiotics and other factors. You can enjoy this unique "yogurt" with some blueberries, nuts, or your choice of natural sweetener.

Apoprotein B provides a virtual count of the lipoprotein particles in the bloodstream that cause coronary heart disease. It is often held up as superior to the widely used LDL cholesterol value. Is this true?

It is true, but it does not mean that measuring apoprotein B tells you much about health. Compare this to the enormous amount of insight provided by measuring the REAL cause of heart disease: small LDL particles that gives you an entire universe of insight into your overall health, as well as risk for heart disease. And it is wonderfully and completely manageable with some simple strategies.

Why has yogurt making gone viral?

First of all, it's NOT yogurt. It looks and smells like yogurt. By FDA regulations, something called yogurt must be fermented with traditional yogurt-making microbes Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. That's NOT what we are doing.

Instead, we are fermenting human microbes, i.e., microbes that are adapted to the human body and provide substantial benefits but have been lost by most people because of their susceptibility to common antibiotics. Using my methods (prolonged fermentation, addition of prebiotic fiber, selecting microbial species to achieve specific effects) we obtain hundreds of billions of microbes per serving for greater benefits.

These are the concepts I introduced in my Super Gut book and extended further in the Super Body book.

The evidence is growing that suggest that microplastics, or more specifically smaller nanoplastics, are triggers for atherosclerotic disease with increased risk for heart attack, stroke, and death.

While your doctor wastes your time and money obsessing about cholesterol and statin drugs that should have been discarded decades ago, you need to address the REAL factors that cause heart disease. Add nanoplastics to that list. Thankfully, you can begin to make an impact on your ingestion of plastic particles but may need to re-examine many long-accepted habits.

Abdominal visceral fat, i.e., fat within the abdominal cavity that surrounds abdominal organs, is unique and the source of so many common health problems. While people who are overweight with a protuberant abdomen almost always have an excess of abdomen visceral fat, it can also occur with a flat abdomen.

You can reduce and track the amount of abdominal visceral fat with home bioimpedance devices. Here are some unconventional but effective ways to reduce/minimize this form of fat while also tracking your results.

The crime is not having type 2 diabetes. The crime is that conventional forces in healthcare essentially turn a blind eye to all the ways available to NOT be a type 2 diabetic.

Pharmaceutical executives throw lavish parties to celebrate the huge revenues that derive from diabetes drugs that now include the awful GLP-1 agonists, while almost no one in healthcare shows people how to not be diabetic--THAT's the crime.

SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) is now epidemic in the U.S., affecting around 50% of the population. It is responsible for an impressive range of health conditions from obesity, to type 2 diabetes, to irritable bowel syndrome, to fibromyalgia and numerous others. We have been addressing SIBO with a collection of microbes that I call "SIBO Yogurt," a collection of human-sourced microbes that colonize the small intestine and produce natural antibiotics effective in killing the species of SIBO, a strategy that has been exceptionally effective.

But how long should you consume SIBO Yogurt to confidently correct this situation?

There's one truly helpful value on a standard cholesterol panel: triglycerides. Ironically, it's also the value most likely to be ignored or mismanaged because the doctor wastes your time by focusing on the useless total and LDL cholesterol values, having been brainwashed by the flawed science and pharmaceutical marketing.

Here is WHY triglycerides are so important, HOW you can reduce your value to the very important level of 60 mg/dl or less without resorting to the use of any pharmaceuticals, only natural and dietary strategies.
