In Part 2 we discussed the details of The Microbiome Diet as well as touching on the first element of the 4R program that removes foods interfering with a healthy microbiome. In addition to diet, a key part of transforming the microbiome relies on specific herbs and compounds to remove unhealthy bacteria from the intestine. Great Microbiome Diet supplements include berberine, caprylic acid, garlic, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil and wormwood are all useful to make shifts towards a positive bacterial balance. A good quality water filter should be used to lower the amount of toxins that we are all exposed to every day. Eat organically grown foods whenever possible to minimize any exposure to harmful chemicals and hormones in animals. Switch to natural versions of common household cleaners, cosmetics and personal care items, like make up and shampoo, to help lessen your body\u2019s toxic burden even further. Additionally, we must stop the overuse of antibiotics, NSAID\u2019s and drugs, like proton pump inhibitors, which decimate the microbiome, wiping out beneficial strains of bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
