As I prepare this week’s newsletter for your reading pleasure I am watching a video by Dr Steven Gundry, the anti-lectin doctor. A screen comes up with the text “Microbes influence human eating behavior and dietary choices to favor consumption of the particular nutrients they grow best on, rather than simply passively living off whatever nutrients we choose to send their way.”
Now I know that there are a very wide range of reactions to my NutriBlast Greens powder. My wife for instance finds it marginally better than vile and now she has her smell back can smell it across the room.
Another client who eats a healthy diet this week told me she finds it far better than many comparable products.
Which was always a source of interest. How come the wide variation in acceptance. Which was one reason I kept as many bars in my range as I have, so I could accommodate where you are at on your journey.
One of my clients is an engineer who 7 yeas ago bought a trial pack of my bars. After tasting them he emailed me with an order and said, “Tom, I can tell the top ones are really good because I can feel every cell in my body when I have one, but they are way too strong for me. Can I just have 60 of the Premium Energy Bars?” (They have only 40 ingredients.)
So every two months he would put in an order for 60 of the Premium Energy Bars. Eighteen months later he placed his regular order and asked for 12 of the Peak Performance bars as well.
After eating one he wrote me, “Have you changed the recipe of have my taste buds changed?”
I mentioned this story to a few ladies and they sort of looked at my like I just came down in the last shower. Apparently this is known by quite a few people, the healthier you eat, the more easily your palate can tolerate healthy food.
But the mechanism for this phenomenon remained unknown to me.
Well, with the knowledge that the good and bad bacteria in your gut can directly signal the brain and your mitochondria AND TELL THEM WHAT THEY WOULD MOST LIKE TO EAT, another piece of hte jigsaw puzzle drop neatly into place!
I have been saying for years that if you find the powder too strong, cut way back the amount you have at a time and very gradually build it up to let your taste buds acclimatise to it. Incorrect Tom! It is not your taste buds that need to acclimatise, it is so your gut bacteria can change composition or have a healthier balance between good and bad!
The penny should have dropped a lot earlier because I had Rhonda, a blood reader tell me years ago that she had been using my Nutrition Booster Bar as a diagnostic tool as it was faster and cheaper than lab tests. She said if a girl had a hormone balance or candida overgrowth they would find my bar WAY too strong.
I asked her how she figured this out and she said, “Trial and error. I’ll give you an example. I had my cousin come to see me and she took one bite of your bar and said, “That’s digusting! How could he even THINK of taking that to market?”
Rhonda replied, “I know what your problem is.” and gave her some herbs to handle the candid overgrowth. Three months later the cousin came back and Rhonda gave her another taste of the bar. The cousin said, “That’s delicious! Has he changed the recipe?” Rhonda said, “No, we’ve just fixed your gut!”
So if you have a tub of my powder (or anybody else’s for that matter) sitting in your cupboard after having purchased it with the best of intentions but not being able to tolerate it, pull it out and just start adding a quarter of a teaspoon to some juice or smoothie and start working on your gut bacteria on a gentle gradient. Just like exercise. You wouldn’t start a get fit program by trying to do 1,000 pushups first day. And my powder is probably that level of nutrition compared to an exercise regime. It took me a few months of gradual increases to go from 20 pushups a day to 1,050. Apply that same principle to your nutrition intake.
