Fibre Can Change Your Microbiome in 24 Hours

[00:00:00]I'm always fascinated by how quickly you can see benefits with small lifestyle interventions. You know, I was a very interesting study looking at how quickly you can affect the microbiome with fiber. Within 24 to 48 hours, you see microbiome changes if you have a fiber-rich meal. Beneficial bacterial species went up, pathogenic species went down within 24 to 48 hours just after fiber-rich meal. You recently did our preclinical studies on Lome, my fiber supplement, and we saw within 6 hours of ingestion, we saw increases in acetate production, one of the short-chain fatty acids. We saw a combination of acetate, butyrate, and propionate within 48 hours. If you are thinking of changing something now to improve your health, you don't need to think long-term always. You just make the change now, and you'll see those short-term changes and health benefits pretty immediately.
