If you are looking for definitive proof that your body depends on a plant-based diet to function optimally, look no further than your own microbiome. 

The microbiome is a vast population of microorganisms that exist on your skin and inside your entire body, especially concentrated in your digestive tract. The gut-microbiome is a living intelligence that essentially directs the health and vitality of your immune, digestive, endocrine, and central nervous systems. It determines the clarity and function of your brain, memory, and emotional and mental health. It prevents and, in many cases, can reverse depression, anxiety, and various forms of learning disabilities, including as ADHD. A healthy microbiome also has been shown to prevent serious illnesses, including common cancers, heart disease, and diabetes. 

Eighty percent of your immune lives in your gut and is dependent upon microorganisms that are themselves survive on plant-foods in order to thrive. 

As we will see in this talk by Tom Monte, the quality of your microbiome — that is to say, the balance between health- promoting flora and pathogenic bacteria — is determined by the food you eat each day. 

Your microbiome thrives on a diet of whole grains, fresh vegetables, beans, sea vegetables, and fruit. The macrobiotic diet can improve your microbiome — and your overall health and well being — within two weeks; and from there, it can gradually transform your life. In this talk, Tom Monte will show you how to restore your microbiome, and in the process revitalize your physical, emotional, and mental health.
