All actions performed in the world are actions carried out by (and through) our bodies.

Procuring healthy food is a complex task, and requires a cognitive ability and expertise that is different than it was for our #huntergatherer friends, though by no means simpler.

Healthy sustenance still depends on thorough long-term thinking and concise planning.

The gut says "hunger", but the brain (and a well coordinated body) must get us in the car and drive to the grocery store to dutifully read the ingredients to make sure we are not being poisoned, or we are not compromising the long-term health of our children and family.

This is a feature of our intelligence that keeps us from pecking in the dirt for immediate satiation. Healthy long-term thinking is essential to our continued success, survival and evolution as humans.

It’s the intelligence of the GUT microbiome that guides most of our behaviour — good microbes 🦠 equal

Healthy actions - bad microbes 🦠 or very few, very little diversity equals toxic chemicals… and bad actions

Yes! Absolutely. I would argue it is our head, hands and feet carrying out the wishes of these microbes. Our gut is making decisions for us, and we are seemingly slaves to their demands if we don’t have a handle on our own internal biome.

AMEN 🙏
