Whole30 and Your Gut Flora

Someone in your office is doing “Whole30” this January, and they’re likely telling everyone about it.

And if you haven’t heard anyone talking about it… then it might be you.

If you haven’t heard of it (and you weren’t listening while your coworker explained it), “Whole30” is a month-long exclusionary diet. For 30 days, you cut out soy, dairy, grains, alcohol, legumes, and added sugars. 

So… probably most of what your regular Western diet consists of. The idea is that after 30 days, a participant would slowly start to introduce food groups back into their diet, so that they can see which foods may have been secretly irritating them or causing discomfort. Sort of like the idea behind the FODMAP diet for those with bowel issues.

Eco-Friendly Brands that Are Walking the Walk

This is no great secret: Big corporations don’t care about the environment.

They pollute the world’s landfills, manufacture cheap thrills for the masses made of toxic materials, and drain the nutrients from foods and wines while adding preservatives and chemicals. 

But since the ‘90s, there’s been a push from the public for companies to consider the environment.
