In a world of conglomerate owned reporting networks and advertisement backed facts, there's one source you can always trust...

You.

That's right. Turns out you have a built in bullshit monitor wired right inside your physical body.

Really.

This fact (backed up by science and taught to you by literally no one) translates to an innate ability of the human body to recognize truth. Put another way, it is your physical anatomy's way to protect your DNA as you wander down the evolutionary path.

Here's how it works

Your body (let's call it the suit you wear to experience incarnated life) is wired to provide you the maximum chance of survival in a world filled with lions, tigers & bears. Whether that be yesteryear's wooly mammoths or yesterday's evening meal, you are wired to be able to discern danger from safety. And truth from deception.

And how does your body do this?

By working in tandem with the trillions of microbial organisms living in your intestinal tract. Also known as your gut microbiome, your digestive system houses a plethora of intelligent microscopic life forms.

Through their role in the digestion process, these organisms essentially monitor the health of the host (that's you) and do what they can to insure its survival. Put another way – these little guys are just as invested in staying alive as you are.

So what does this have to do with truth?

Ever heard the phrase 'gut instinct'? It's that knowing feeling you get in the pit of your stomach, the intuition when you just know something. It turns out this feeling has a root cause. It is the intelligent voice of the gut microbiome broadcasting survival information to the host – go left, don't eat this, run.

Our gut has been speaking to us for eons.

If you've read any of my past blog posts, you know I'm big on real food. Why? Because our bodies have evolved to function best on real food. Whole, fresh and unaltered.

It's also the best kind of food to keep that intestinal population of truth tellers functioning at an optimal level.

Which means the responsibility for choosing a healthy, whole foods diet (passing on the fast, processed and modified) lies strictly on your shoulders.

Maybe you care, maybe you don't.

But in a world where seemingly everyone is divided & news reporting is agreeably biased, enhancing your ability to decipher truth from fiction – any way you can – seems wise.

Read on to learn the 3 most important foods to feed the microbiome responsible for your gut instinct.
