Hashimoto's and lack of dietary diversity and we're going to be speaking about lack of dietary diversity, specifically relative to vegetables. This is not new material, but it's not getting out there. The, data's probably three, four, five years old and when I tell you what it is, you're going to understand why it's not getting out there because nobody wants to tell their patients to do this, I think, but we've had tremendous success with this. Hashimoto's is an immune attack against your thyroid and you're looking for all the triggers and a good place to start is always diet. It's a lifestyle change and if you miss elements of the diet that are exacerbating, that person's immune responses, I don't even know how you go anywhere from there and figuring that out, it's not easy. I mean, we use autoimmune paleo diets. We use SIBO diets, we use paleo diets, we use oral tolerance diets, which we're going to talk about here in a minute. We combine those with diets for ulcers and things of that nature. Diets quite, quite significant. The aspect of food sensitivities is, probably to me, the most significant aspects of diet and figuring that out. Cause think about it, if you're trying to dampen immune inflammation and you're on Dr. Google, and you're trying the SIBO diet, but you're eating foods every day that are flaring up your immune response in your intestines or you're on the leaky gut diet, or you're on the autoimmune paleo diet, whatever diet you're on. I mean, if you're flaring up immune inflammation every day by eating foods that you're sensitive to, and you don't know that because the response to that food isn't occurring until a few days later, you're going to be the person that comes in and says, I've tried everything. It works for three days a week or two, and then it fails. Diet is huge, huge, huge and this oral tolerance thing, this variety of foods is really proven to be important.

In fact, we're helping cases right now that in the past, we literally just couldn't help when we would miss this with a patient. And in fact, we're starting to implement this in some manner with almost everyone eventually. So what is it? So here's what it is. There was a study that was done a couple of years ago on the microbiome in Harvard and basically they studied every microbiome on the planet. Everyone, every month microbiome is the three, or four, or five pounds of bacteria that's in your gut and it should be balanced between about 80 20, I think it is 80% good, 20% bad. Yes, there should be bad stuff in there to kind of keep the good alert and working. This is the perfect balance, but they looked at every single country's microbiome.

They took biopsies from people who volunteered and found that and then they did indigenous tribes in addition to that. There was one tribe that was a nomadic tribe, and this tribe ate 600 vegetables per year because that's what they did. They just wandered around for food and ate 600 vegetables, to make long story short, they had the number one best combination and best microbiome of anyone in the world and the United States as you probably expect, has the worst.
