0:00I'm one of those people who finds a food and gets totally emotionally attached.
0:04Right now, it is all about cottage cheese.
0:07Bagels with cheese and tomato for 12 straight years as a kid.
0:12No change.
0:12But the reality is that your gut actually needs specific fuel to tolerate food patterns like that long-term.
0:19That fuel is Butyrate.
0:20Butyrate is what feeds your intestinal cells, it strengthens your gut lining, it calms inflammation, it helps your system feel resilient instead of reactive.
0:28It's one of the reasons that some people, like me, can eat the same food on repeat, well, feel fine, and others slowly start breaking down.
