How to Boost Your Intestinal Microbiome

How can you boost your gut microbial diversity?

Exercise daily and become physically fit because this boosts the diversity of good gut bacteria.

What do I do personally?

I drink my own GOOD GUT products. Mix GOOD GUT Detox with GOOD GUT Repair and GOOD GUT Probiotics + immune into one killer shake that delivers 25 grams of protein. Higher protein intake creates more bacterial diversity.

Most studies have not examined the effects of exercise on gut microbes. In a recent Irish study, 40 professional athletes from an international rugby team were compared to healthy male controls from Cork, Ireland.

Athletes had higher levels of plasma creatinine kinase (marker of extreme exercise), less inflammation and better metabolic markers. They also had a much bigger diversity of gut bugs - 113 genera compared to 65 genera for controls. Athletes ate more protein than controls which accounted for 22% of their total energy intake versus 16% in the control group.

High protein intake, high levels of creatinine kinase were drivers of gut biodiversity. Microbial diversity is important because that is how you can strengthen your immunity and increase your metabolic rate.
