160. Is Wheat Wrecking Your Gut?

Chatting with today’s guest, I never imagined celiac disease would come up. But then he dropped a bombshell I had never heard before. He told me that wheat used to have only 14 chromosomes, and that today’s wheat has 44 chromosomes. First of all, what the heck is a chromosome? Plant chromosomes are like instruction manuals, guiding how a plant grows, develops, and reproduces. Here’s the twist: chromosomes shape plants, we eat those plants, and they end up shaping us too! What I discovered from today’s guest, Farmer Tim, is that our bodies can easily digest wheat (ancient grains) with 14 chromosomes but struggle to process wheat with 44 chromosomes. What does this have to do with our health or cancer prevention? When your digestion falters, inflammation rises. More inflammation means more chances for disease to sneak in. Looking back, my own digestive battles before my cancer diagnosis make me wish I’d known all this sooner. Farmer Tim also shared simple ways to feed your family well on a budget and keep extra toxins off your plate. P.S. I also learned that our country mainly farmed organically until the end of World War 2.

I've been taking them for about three months, and one of the biggest differences I've noticed is better post-workout recovery. I also appreciate that they're gummies instead of another capsule, which makes them an easy and enjoyable part of my daily routine. If you're curious about supporting your mitochondria, energy, muscle recovery, and healthy aging, I encourage you to learn more about Urolithin A and the science behind it.
