Leave Us A VoicemailIn this mind-bending episode, Farmer Joel and Dr. Sina explore a revolutionary idea in nutrition: could the microbes in your gut actually replace your supplements? They dive into recent research showing that gut microbes are miniature vitamin factories, capable of producing all B-vitamins and vitamin K. This discovery challenges our traditional understanding of nutrition and supplement needs.They explore the intriguing possibility that restoring a healthy microbiome could naturally prevent these deficiencies and reduce the need for supplements. The episode also touches on how this theory might explain why some people thrive on seemingly nutritionally incomplete diets like the carnivore or Lion Diet.Delving into the science, the hosts explain how gut microbes might use basic elements from our food to manufacture vitamins. They emphasize the importance of having the right microbial "factory workers" to put these raw materials to use. This perspective suggests that optimal nutrition might be more individualized than previously thought, depending on each person's unique gut microbiome.We want to hear what you think!  This week's Community Question is: "What do you hope people say about you after you have passed away?"Watch and Discuss This Episode HereRead The Delabeling Desk with Joel SalatinWatch Intuitive Cooking with Dr. SinaFollow on TwitterFollow on InstagramFind Joel Here: www.polyfacefarms.comFind Sina Here: www.drsinamccullough.comIf you have a question you want answered or an idea for the show, we’d love to hear from you!  Please email your questions and/or ideas to: [email protected] you have billing, subscription, or technical issues please contact [email protected] you are interested in being a guest on Beyond Labels, please fill out this form: https://form.jotform.com/24035452401203DISCLAIMER
