The Microbiome Diet is a new diet that touts a restoration of gut health and claims to aid in weight loss.Frankly, if you have a healthy dietary lifestyle — one that is characterized by eating fresh food that mimics what our ancestors ate for millions of years — you don't need to do anything extra to support your gut. The food our ancestors ate was covered in bacteria, but much of our food today is highly-processed and refined, resulting in products that are unnecessarily "clean." So if you're not following Paleolithic eating habits, you may want to consider the use of high-quality prebiotic and probiotic supplements to compensate. One of my favorites is Terraflora's Synbiotic formula, which is a broad spectrum, soil-based blend that contains strains proven to resist biological stressors such as heat and stomach acid.
