Keto, Carnivore, Mediterranean: What These Diets Actually Do To Your Microbiome

Your microbiome is one of the most responsive systems in your body and in this episode, we're breaking down exactly how to work with it, not against it. We cover the real timeline of microbiome change (hint: it starts sooner than you think), what different dietary approaches actually do to your gut bacteria, and the underappreciated role of when and how often you eat. In this episode: How quickly your microbiome can shift- what's happening at 24 hours, one week, one month, and three months What keto and carnivore diets do to microbial diversity, butyrate production, and gut barrier integrity and when they can be genuinely therapeutic Why the Mediterranean and plant-based diets have the strongest evidence base for microbiome health, and why variety matters more than volume The migrating motor complex, what it is, why it only activates in a fasted state, and why constant grazing may be contributing to SIBO Time-restricted eating and its effect on microbial diversity, akkermansia, and circadian alignment Why your stress levels and sleep can undermine even the cleanest diet Real client cases from our clinic, including a carnivore protocol that significantly reduced inflammatory markers in a client with Crohn's disease This week's recommendations: Karah: Homemade coconut kefir: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXLwbwkkzjP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Teresa: Family Wall app for shared household admin Work with us!
