Be A Good American: Swipe Your Poop

 
 
If you haven't read Michael Pollan's latest article in the New York Times Magazine, you should. In it he talks about a new project underway called the American Gut Project, a new "citizen-science initiative" that's sequencing the genome in your gut and other places. Wanna see how your "inner ecosystem" compares to a raw foodist in Omaha, Nebraska? Or your sister that does Weight Watchers?

This is wicked stuff people. We are just at the brink of a whole new world in there... finding incredible things like how your gut microbiome makeup has power over your weight, metabolism, immunity and a million other things. This is also why tending to your gut health is one of the most important things you can do for your body! I'm totally swiping my poop in the name of science. How about you?

Book It: Clean Gut

 
 
I'm addicted to buying books on amazon. There I said.

What's more... I'm also a book hussy. It's true. I shamelessly jump from book to book like a tadpole on lily pads. So I thought I'd start sharing which ones I'm reading as of late. I'm a huge Dr. Alejandro Junger fan, from his first book Clean and the Clean program. But he's captured my heart with Clean Gut... a book that is totally ON POINT about our health and the source of many illnesses. It cannot be said enough - the overall health of our bodies starts with the health of our gut. If you're interested in learning more about the body and how you can optimize your health, this is a must read!
