Today, we’re going to talk about the #1 thing that improves your health. It has to do with increasing the diversity of microbes in your gut.
Ideally, you want a rich microbiome with a lot of different species. Without this diversity, you’ll provide the perfect space for harmful bacteria to thrive.
A lack of diverse microbes can lead to symptoms, including:
• Diarrhea
• Gut inflammation
• Toxins
• Obesity
• Slow metabolism
• Mood changes
This lack of diversity is called dysbiosis, and it’s associated with many different serious health conditions.
Potential benefits of diverse microbes:
• They help you make vitamins
• They provide immune protection
• They help keep inflammation low
• They feed colon cells
• They help produce amino acids, neurotransmitters, and other proteins
• They help keep your energy high
How to increase the diversity of microbes in your gut and boost your health:
1. Consume food that has been grown on soil that has a diverse microbiome
2. Increase the diversity of plant foods in your diet
3. Exercise
4. Get plenty of quality sleep
5. Do intermittent fasting
6. Consume phenols
7. Consume sprouts or microgreens grown on soil
8. Consume probiotic foods
9. Consume raw foods
Top things that lower microbiome diversity:
1. Broad-spectrum antibiotics
2. Glyphosate
3. Animals fed on a monoculture
4. Stress
5. Artificial sweeteners
6. Inflammation
7. Liver issues
8. Sterilized foods
9. Radiated foods
10. Overly processed foods
11. A lack of variety of foods in the diet
If you’re expecting a baby, keep in mind that having a natural birth and breastfeeding can both enhance the diversity of microbes in an infant.

What nice coincidence! Just started researching gut health and this awesome man comes out with a video on the topic! Fantastic
Once you’re done with your research. Look into can plants feel pain? Try and find the myth busters fire extinguisher episode. Now translate what you learn in that video to talking to your cells and Microbiome. It’s life changing and beyond anything we can comprehend at this moment in time. I’m one to not believe in anything but I proved it to myself. crazy
Good morning Dr Berg.Very informative topic.Thank you so much and so much Doctor Berg ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much doctor Eric. I really need this. I’m suffering from back pain and very bad constipation with lots of pain in my right side
Just this morning I was pointing out to someone in the comments on another video that kefir and sauerkraut can assist in moderating anxiety in individuals that suffer chronically with elevated anxiety.
I mentioned B-vitamins a lot for general mood issues as well as their anxiety.
@Stella Ančimer no. I have not. It would be difficult to have sauerkraut without the plants
@An Equal thank you
@Kevin Orr when the gut is damaged, or inflamed the only way is carnivore 😉
@Stella Ančimer Ok. But who said my gut is damaged? I’m a huge fan of meat, just quite pricey at this time. I’m very healthy. Near perfection, just older.
@Kevin Orr sory i Just speak general, i am glad you are healty, i am on the way there 😉
“Playing in the soil”, also called gardening is an excellent way to get a diverse gut microbiome.
Earthing. Ensuring that the cells, have an electrical charge.

Thank You Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
@Gustav never felt better.. 🐱👍🏿
Thank you so much for this summary, very useful and helpful
Thank you! 😊

I am almost in disbelief of what a difference Kefir has made in my life. I started drinking it about 4 months ago because of what Dr. Berg had been saying about it. The digestive problems that I have been dealing with for the last 5 years are now gone. I also had cut out the sugary foods, bread products and I am eating cruciferous vegetables. However, when I started drinking Kefir it was, literally, an overnight change in my bowel problems. It’s incredible. Thanks, once again, for helping me through and rectifying another health problem. I highly recommend trying Kefir. Thanks, again, Dr. Berg!
@TonyaFriend1 Thank you much appreciated will do all the best
Using whole organic milk is good if you can get hold of it.
@Tumbleweed UK thank you
Me too. I’ve been drinking a shake made with kefir, kale, and blueberries. It starts working for me instantly.
Raw kefir (which I make from farm raised sheeps milk) makes me CONSTIPATED!!! I just take CALM before bed and that helps- love my kefir ⭐️
A massive diverse microbiome checks and balances each other which keeps our immune system strong and healthy.
Thank you doc! Thank you for the response, way more than I had hoped to get! This is going to be my manual for eating now. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Anytime!
He even puts the piggies on IF that’s hilarious!
I’ve been doing prolonged fasting this year as well as IF every day and you just know when you’re doing something that’s good for you, and I’m on the road to feeling and looking better than I have ever felt!
You are a Truly great man Dr Berg.
God bless you🙏🏻
Big congrats to you!
So wonderful to have more of an understanding on this subject. I’m sure I have dysbiosis as I have colorectal cancer and have been struggling trying to heal my gut that still feels inflamed. Was taking a stronger probiotic but it seemed to upset my gut so stopped taking it. Just have had a hard time figuring out what I can tolerate and what is helping with healing.
And this seems to be a bit of introduction to your possibility of information channel on farming which I’m anxious to hear about your discoveries!!
I am having similar issues and healing the gut isn’t as easy as screwing it up!
i agree on that,
i’ve put much effort on healing my gut and it just took one wrong choice of food i guess and its back to the crazy side 😩
Did you see Dr Berg’s recent video on Methylene Blue?
I was interested in it and another viewer kindly suggested I read Mark Sloan’s book ‘The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue’.
There are segments in the book that take in the conditions you mentioned and this substance looks promising regarding many inflammation-based, and metabolic disorders.
At the end of one segment, on page 95 he (Sloan) does seem to go a little crazy, suggesting that a sterile gut (no microbes whatsoever) is an ideal situation – not really sure where he got that idea, but the rest of the book is pretty good.
Regardless of how you proceed, I’m cheering you on for your recovery and wish you the very best in your quest for health.
Try fasting. I find eating a simple diet helps. I eat mostly big green salads with spinach, kale, carrots, zucchini, avocado with olive oil and some sort of fish like salmon or even shell fish.
I don’t eat sugar or processed foods. I eat basically one meal a day. I may eat a few nuts later or maybe an apple. Mostly your gut just needs time to heal. So do some fasting. Start off with intermittent fasting and work up to a few days every so often. Drink water and some herbal teas. Drink some lemon or lime water in the morning.
I wish that you were around 30 years ago sharing your knowledge on heath and how the body works! Better late then never. You are one of the best educators we have on human heath. Please don’t ever stop!
YouTube only started 18 years ago in the year 2005.
Thirty years ago nobody knew anything about the effects of having a diverse microbiome. One of the first people exploring this is Donna Schwenk from Cultured Food Life; she started some 22 years ago when she stumbled on the benefits of Kefir, Kombucha, and cultured veggies.
@Cachi – 30 years ago was the year 1993 and I was in the 4th grade at the time and my younger brother was turning 1 years old.
Dr. Rob Atkins was around 30 years ago promoting many of these same concepts! For his work, he was ridiculed and ostracized. Unfortunately this info is only being more accepted during past few years. Even still, it’s only a small minority of people who’ll seek out and accept this knowledge!
My daugher was in the hospital for a week we are waiting for the exams that she made…she was taking antibiotics was very agressive for her…your videos are helping her to recovery and know i want to get off the city and go to the contry to start growing my own food! The most important tresoure in life is our health. Thank you Dr. Berg ❤
@Praveen Sriram thank you for your kind words❤️
@Robert Pattinson i hope that i can make it, becouse this system are killing in silence.
Food as well as Drug Industries and health regulators are working together to squeeze local government and public.
2004 I was given an antibiotic called levaquine for 10 days! On the fifth day it had destroyed the balance of my microbiome and I almost died! I developed systemic candida, when that happened it literally starts to eat you away and decompose YOU ! I went to the medical field for help but I just kept getting worse,then I met this guy at a whole food store and he directed me to a internal medical Doctor who practiced wholistic ways also! Well he started my road to a different knowledge that’s exists aside from big Pharma and the medical field. Forward to 2011 and I finally regained my health better than ever! What a ride what I did is too much to list here but I had to rebuild and replant my microbiome and it took many years! I’m 62 and built like a power house and full of energy beyond my teen years! I THANK LORD EVERY DAY FOR SHOWING ME
Love that connectivity of your lectures Doc Berg ❤️I’m learning a lot thank you so much.💖
I noticed when you were talking about sauerkraut you didn’t mention the importance of buying sauerkraut from the fridge section of the supermarket. Most sauerkraut that you find on the shelf loses most of it healthy microbes during the jarring process. You want to find the stuff that is unpasteurized. 😊
Or ferment it yourself like I do. 🙂❤️
Yep, variety is the spice of life! Thank you for gut health information Dr. Berg!!
No problem. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you very much for your great advice on this important health topic.
In market, there are a lot of probiotics products and we wish there will be more videos in future to explain how different types of gut bacteria work eg lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and etc.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂
I love this reminders, diversity in microbes in our gut. I am so aware of the sterilisation of foods constantly, bleaching products that are used to maintain in the cleaning regime.
thank you Dr berg! 😊
Dr. Berg, if you created healthy keto certified restaurants, I would eat in them every day! It would save me a lot of time trying to find the right organic, grass-fed, wild-caught ingredients that I can trust and not worrying about them expiring so quickly or how to prepare them correctly to maximize the health benefits.
Just amazing. It never ceases to amaze me how this man can continue to share and there is always something new to learn from him. God bless you Dr. Berg, the world is enriched by the light you bring to it 🤗
