We want to change our cravings. We want to change our happiness. We want to change our inflammation levels. The power is in our hands and we can do it through diet. 4. The best probiotic we can take is exercise. I've always felt a bit "lost" with my cravings and my excessive consumption of junk food, but for once, I feel like I know the chemistry behind it, the hormones at play, and why these cravings were happening to me so frequently and kind of controlling my life. We know that the microbiome has power to control our cravings, to make us happier, to make better decisions. What we didn’t realize until recently, however, is that it takes only three days to start to see marked changes in the microbiome. “We want both diversity in our microbiome and we want higher numbers.” RETRAIN your body with exercise that regulates key neurotransmitters that influence your hunger response.

We can use exercise in different ways, but the simplest way is just to go outside and get time in nature. Our gut bacteria have circadian rhythms, so they get input from our body when we are in nature, and when we’re moving. This has great effects on our mood, our cravings, and our behavior. 5.

Then they observed them for two weeks. What they found is it took only three days to see a marked change in the various types of bacteria and the number of bacteria. Therefore, we want both diversity in our microbiome and we want higher numbers, and that can start to happen within three days. We can transplant behavior, we can transplant mood, and we can transplant cravings just by changing the gut microbiome. This is the new wave of the future. We can cure disease, mental health, and physical health by changing our gut because our gut bacteria communicate with our immune system, hormones, and nervous system, creating change throughout our body. This is a way for us to get control of our cravings. Exercise is one of the best tools we have. It’s better than any pill probiotic you can buy. Putting on your sneakers and going for a sunny walk is one of the best things you can do for your gut bacteria. “[Exercise] is better than any pill probiotic you can buy.”So she created I’m So Effing Hungry, a science-based plan designed to help you take charge of your health and your cravings, without feeling deprived.
