Gut microbiota are better predictors of belly fat than diet.It's never too early to teach your child how to chop and season vegetables. Here Keshava Viswanathan is preparing a meal of lentils and curried vegetables and he's starting by chopping cucumber, tomato, Apple, as the curry and Cajun seasonings are ready at hand. And yummy watermelon for a snack!
Yes we already do this. If a person doesn't have significant Akkermansia, probably cannot tolerate much carbs. The lack of sulfa degrading bacteria may make broccoli indigestible etc https://t.co/kGyDFtej32

Several modes of interaction be-
tween the #gut and the #brain have been discovered, including
the synthesis of metabolites and #neurotransmitters, activation of
the vagus nerve, and activation of the #immune system
Exactly. I prefer the use of the term #dysbiotic #inflammation rather than infection-driven inflammation https://t.co/IzE5ItINx8

I have significantly increased muscle mass, tone, flexibility and strength, and am leaner and in better shape than I have ever been, and have increased confidence as well! Working with Dr. DV in the SCULPT program provided me with the right tools, support and medical foundation that expertly fit together all the interlocking pieces to succeed. Dr DV’s deep-level, detailed diagnoses and solutions, and his ongoing meticulous and caring attention was effective to reverse physiological imbalances that were limiting me and causing deteriorating health, and then continued to support me to take the next steps to lose weight, tone my muscles, build strength and achieve overall good health. I am really enjoying the program and the results! -Nantz Rickard Washington, DC 12/22/15
