They are also sensitive to what you eat and if you eat crap you breed the ones that thrive on crap and they'll demand more of it, and like a good party binger won't really care what they do to their host and overrun you. Feed them right and they'll be like your own personal vitamin and butyrate factory and keep the opportunistic parasites at bay.
I have Tinnitus so sleep is still a problem for me and I haven't worked on my car in a couple weeks that's why I'm here on a BMW forum in the nutrition section lol.
We're not N54s, you don't just dump a uniform fuel in whenever you want and always run the same way. You calorie in calorie out eat all thru the day Jillian Michaels ppl have to move into the 2020s, the hormonal responses matter, not the "calories".

Excellent topic: Gut to Brain to overall Well being.
You are what you eat makes much more sense to me now that I understand the magnitude of gut flora and the critical balance beneficial bacteria has.
If you gut is out of whack, it is likely a losing battle!
