We have over a hundred trillion bacteria cells in our body and they can either be your best
friend or your worst enemy. Today I wanna show you how to turn them into your best friend.
If you’ve done yoyo diets, I’m talking about the paleo, the DrewCan, the bread diet,
the cookie diet, the Atkins diet, whatever diet you’ve done and you’ve gone on this
weight loss roller coaster over and over and over again then this video is very important
for you to watch. You see today, I’m gonna show you four recipes out of a book that I’ve
just read called the microbiome diet. It’s by Dr. Kellman and in Dr. Kellman’s book
he lays out the best food, the best diet for your microbiome. We’ve been talking about
the gut for a while now. 95 percent of the serotonin comes from your gut that’s that
happy molecule. Your gut biome changes every 20 minutes that’s why it’s absolutely
crucial to give it the food that it needs that loves your body back. See most of us
feed our microbiome and the gut nasty food that shape shifts your gut biome and then
requires you to crave that nasty unhealthy food that you’re constantly sabotaging your
diet with. You have these erratic cravings. These up and down moods and everything is
in the gut. So here’s some quick facts about microbiome. You have three pounds of bacteria
in your body. Bacteria outnumbers your cells nine to one! Our good bacteria helps us utilize
all the nutrients from the food that we eat. Our good bacteria has influence on our immunity,
our mood, our hormones, our metabolism and a lot of other things in our body. So if you’re
addicted to chocolate, cookies, bread, ice cream, things that you know you probably shouldn’t
be eating all of the time, guess what? It’s not your fault. It’s actually not you, it’s
that bad bacteria that’s teamed up against you. They’ become bullies on the inside
and they’re actually forcing your cravings. They’re forcing you to eat that stuff so
as soon as we feed the allies that good bacteria in your body the cravings will slowly start
to drift away. So how do we start changing it? Well we got to start changing what we’re
putting in and Dr. Kellman states it’s so gracefully in his book on microbiome diet.
Number one you got to eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies. Number two is to eat a lot of
prebiotics. As you probably already know like most people do, prebiotics are the food that
feeds your probiotics. And what are they? Number one Jerusalem artichokes, asparagus,
carrots, garlic, jicama, leeks, onions, radishes, tomatoes and other soluble fibers. Fermented
foods are absolutely imperative as well because they’re loaded with probiotics. We got kimchi,
sauerkraut and the different things that I personally absolutely love and I know you
probably do as well. And lastly he talks about probiotics. Probiotics are one of the most
important things that you can take on a daily basis to start feeding your good gut bacteria.
So we spent a lot of time recently coming up with the ten best bacterial strains on
the planet so that can really start to feed your good friends in your body and you can
really start to absorb the nutrients that maybe you’re not absorbing now. You see
the average person eats 4,000 calories a day in America but they’re still hungry, they’re
still starving. And the reason they’re starving is because they’re not getting the enzymes,
the nutrients, the aminos, different things that are in the food that we eat. So they
continue to eat meat, they continue to gain the weight but they feel like they’re hungry
all the time. I want you to feel satisfied. I don’t want your brain to be turned on
thinking about what’s coming for lunch just after you finish dinner because what does
that do it doesn’t allow you to be present. And I know if you’re watching this maybe
you have kids, maybe you have a friend that you see once in a while, maybe your significant
other and the best moments that you’ve had together is when you’re not on your cellphone
checking it, you’re not thinking about what you have to do that weekend. You’re right
there in the moment, awareness is an all-time high. You’re totally resonate with that
person in front of you and you’re communicating on an authentic level. I want that for you
and something tells me if you’re watching this video you want that for yourself. So
let’s make that happen. Probiotics is the last thing on the list. Now let me show you
four recipes that we’ve prepared in the FitLife kitchen with Sheree and David and
we’re gonna show you how to make them step by step so that you can start fixing that
good gut bacteria. Let’s do this! Alright, so let’s try our blueberry and kale smoothie.
So here’s the recipe breakdown, half a cup of chopped up kale. You can remove the ribs
or if you want the ribs and make a little bit better I usually do, half a cup frozen
unsweetened organic blueberries, fourth the cup of avocado, one teaspoon of almond butter,
¾ cups of apple cider or kefir. I prefer to go half the cup of kefir today but ¾ is
usually the recommended dose, five ice cubes, two tablespoons of plant based protein and
this is the blueberry kale smoothie. Alright so here’s the smoothie let’s try it out.
Hmm. Why I’d never think that kefir, it’s so good. A blueberry loaded with good fat
I feel the energy with this too. Super good. Next stop is our veggie loaded frittata and
here’s the ingredients, six organic eggs, two tablespoons of cold water, one teaspoon
of snipped tarragon, half a teaspoon of sea salt, half a teaspoon of pepper, one cup of
sliced onions, two tablespoons of olive oil, one small zuchinni cut into one inch slices,
half a pound spinach or Swiss chard, salt and pepper to taste as needed and you can
also add organic or goats sheep’s milk cheese if you want to. Let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes
‘til its firm, eat it, let’s see what frittata taste like. Ah, it’s cooked to
perfection. Look at this thing looks absolutely amazing. Ever airplane yourself? Hmm, so good.
Wash it down with the smoothie. Hmm. Citrus berry salad, so here’s the recipe breakdown,
half a grapefruit, cut in half the center not the stem on the end, one orange, half
a kiwi, a fourth cup of blueberries or raspberries, one eighth cup of fresh mint leaves, six Brazil
nuts. Now what you wanna do is grab a section of the grapefruit, squeeze the residual juice,
save it in a cup because you’re gonna use this for the salad dressing. You’re gonna
do the same thing with the orange, cut it in the center, not the stem though, the section
on it. Squeeze the shells and add the juice to the grapefruit juice. Orange and the grapefruit
sections together is going to be your salad dressing. Cut the kiwi in half, peel it, slice
it into four thin slice and add the grapefruit and the orange slices. We put it in a nice
bed of spinach, baby spinach you can add some micro greens to this if you want to. These
are the greens that we have in the house. We’re gonna add berries and fruit together
in the mix absolutely amazing! And then we’re gonna add the chopped mint leaves. The mint
is gonna add another element of flavor to this, put the juice over top, serve the nuts
on the side, and lightly crush and sprinkle them if you can we just decided to put them
on the side. Alright so let’s try it out. Hmm, hmm, wow. What is this? That is super
good. I love the dressing. The orange, the grapefruit together. Hmm. Alright and here’s
the microbiome snack. This is real easy, two organic eggs, four asparagus spears, stems
removed, three tomato slices, three radishes sliced in half. We hard boiled the eggs which
took about 10 minutes, place in a steamer basket with a pot for just enough water ‘til
its overflowing the basket. Place the asparagus in the steamer for about 5 – 7 minutes and
we assemble the eggs and other ingredients on a plate and then we served it. Let’s
see what it tastes like. Hmm, little tomato action hmm. Really good snack, little protein
from the egg. Alright so at that time, who won the juicer? Remember next week if you
wanna win the juicer scroll down to the bottom of this blog post, leave a comment below about
how your life is changed by implementing some of the strategies and tips that we talked
about on FitLife TV. This week’s juicer winner is Lorraine Cannistra! Lorraine has
been eating more fruits and vegetables and has reduced the number of prescription drugs
that she takes from fourteen to three. That’s amazing! Lorraine is a true demonstration
