Picture huge, industrialized fields of waving wheat and corn and soy in the American midwest. That’s about the size of our collective understanding of where
A lot can happen in 42 days.
Habits form, people fall in love, zucchinis grow.
And according to recent research, the bacteria in the gut microbiome changes after only 42 days — or six weeks — of exercise. That’s without changing your diet, medication, or anything else.
A burgeoning field of study, the gut microbiome has been scientifically verified to impact almost every area of a functioning life…
Our moods, skin quality, digestive health, energy levels, appetites, propensity towards diseases, and much more.
Recently, we brought you an article on how bone broth can help heal an aching and damaged leaky gut.
In case you missed the article, here are the broad strokes:
The gelatin, broken down from the cartilage in the bones, feeds the mucous lining of the stomach.
Broth is easier to digest than solid food, so your gut can take some time off of work, replenish, and heal itself.
The amino acids in bone broth help to fight and reduce inflammation, ideal for people with gut pain.
So we know it’s good for you and we know that it can help repair intestinal cracks and strengthen the integrity of the gut lining.

In fact, studies done on the quality of most of our indoor air show that it’s stale, rarely refreshed, and full of every pollutant we bring into the house with us. And since Westerners spend the vast majority of their time indoors, up to 90% in some places, it’s a serious problem that should be factored into the discussion about how pollution affects our health.
