  • Are you using universal infection control protocols?
  • Do you place amalgam fillings?
  • Are you a mercury-safe office?
  • Do you ask about my diet and other health-related information?

Hi Jimi,

Excuse me, but I think your gut is leaking…

I’m not kidding.

In fact, the vast majority of people today have a damaged gut lining that allows harmful elements like toxins, pathogens, and food particles to leak through.

This sets the stage for chronic inflammation — and ultimately, DISEASE.

This is why the condition called "leaky gut" has been linked to problems such as brain fog, arthritis, and joint pain, anxiety and depression, Alzheimer’s, and many other diseases…

To fix the problem, you must heal your leaky gut and stop the source of inflammation.

One way to help is by increasing the number of "friendly" bacteria living in your gut.

A new, double-blind study in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that this one special ingredient (that’s probably in your home right now) could cause a 70% improvement in good gut bacteria in less than 60 days!

>> Find out more in this FREE special report: "12 Ways to Heal Your Leaky Gut"

According to another study in Phytotherapy Research Journal, this same ingredient is "significantly better" for joint pain than conventional anti-inflammatories… And comes without the side effects! In fact, there have been over 6,000 peer-reviewed scientific journals published discussing this ingredient’s health benefits!

Jimi,

I have an incredible (keto-friendly) recipe to share with you today that I know you’re going to want to try this next weekend.

Actually, I have an entire free book of fun recipes I’m giving away right now that you should check out…

Click Here To Claim Your 17 Specialty Keto Recipes Here

Now, as you know, I’m a big proponent for the ketogenic diet.

In fact, it is my #1 recommendation for balancing blood sugar levels, reversing the aging process, optimizing brain function, and increasing your metabolic health)...

...and more recently, I’ve started to research the opportunities for combining the benefits of Keto with one of the other “naturally occurring miracles” of the human body:

Stem Cells.

See, for almost any kind of damage or injury - whether it be a fracture or a sunburn - your body uses stem cells to make the necessary repairs…

However, as you age and expose yourself to harmful lifestyle factors like poor nutrition, pollution, and stress (which is inevitable in most cultures around the world at this point)... your body’s stem cells slowly deteriorate and dwindle away…

So as you grow older, it becomes more and more important to strategically incorporate stem-cell-boosting nutrients into your diet…

Which is why I’ve partnered with my friends over at The Healing Miracle to create a collection of delicious recipes -

...designed specifically to support your body in producing healthy new stem cells.

These Keto-Friendly recipes are filled with ingredients to help optimize brain function, boost fat metabolism, and fight inflammation

...and today, I want to share one of my favorites of these new recipes with you!

...and there you have it!

I hope you’ll give yourself the opportunity to try out this recipe - because if you do, I’m sure you’ll enjoy how it tastes AND how it makes you feel.

Be blessed!

Does Your Gut Prefer Raw Food Over Cooked?


When man discovered fire 0.2 million years ago, everything changed.


Including the composition of our gut’s microbiome.


You probably know that the shape of our teeth has changed since then as well, because we aren’t gnawing on raw meat anymore. So it stands to reason that other areas of our internal operating system have evolved as well.


Cooking food activates chemical changes in the food itself, so that by the time that food reaches our digestive system it interacts differently with the microbes and bacteria in our biome than raw food would have.


And not all foods experience the same degree of chemical change when heat is applied – beef and sweet potatoes, for example, are more drastic examples of physical and internal transformation due to fire.


Furthermore, not much research has been done into exactly why cooking is said to improve the diet… at least, not until the massive raw food movement of the last few years. One solid theory is that cooking food increases its net value to the body in terms of energy, although even that varies between proteins, starches, and lipids.


In simple terms? Cooked food seems to give the body more energy than raw food.


Before humans were able to cook food with heat, they used non-thermal methods – like pounding – to affect the digestibility of their sustenance. This must have provided an energetic edge of raw food but…


It still couldn’t compete with cooked food. Cooked food has several distinct differences from its counterparts:


  • Starch becomes gelatinized.
  • Proteins’ molecular compositions are disrupted.
  • Food-borne pathogens are eliminated.

Basically, what this means is that our digestive systems don’t have to expend quite so much energy to break down our food if it’s been cooked first.


Let’s take a look at what that does to the bacterial profile of your microbiome – raw vs. cooked.


Raw Food and the Microbiome


According to a study done recently on mice, raw food has an interesting effect on the microbiome.


When mice were fed a diet of raw sweet potato, by and large, their bacterial profiles were less diverse. As we know, the goal is to have an incredibly diverse array of bacteria.


They repeated the same experiment with raw white potatoes, beets, carrots, corn, and peas.


Although raw sweet potato and raw white potato both resulted in more homogenized bacteria, there was no change noted with the other raw vegetables.


Researchers explained this occurrence by noting that potatoes and sweet potatoes have higher quantities of digestible starch, which is more susceptible to transformation during the heated cooking process than the other vegetables.


Thus, eating those foods raw changes the way gut microbes react.


Cooked Food and the Microbiome


When the same experiment tested eight healthy adult men and women, by feeding them a diet of comparable raw and cooked meals over the course of three days and then testing their stool samples, their findings were in keeping with the mice.


Although gut microbiota was more diverse in humans after eating cooked food, there was less of a degree of difference between cooked vs. raw than there was in mice.


However, they also found that in mice, eating cooked food maintained weight whereas eating raw food initiated weight loss.


All members of the research team agree that further studies and analysis would be needed to solidify their findings, but the implications from this initial study are enough to draw a few conclusions…


Namely, that when the digestive system doesn’t have to work so hard at breaking down food, more of its bacterial population survives, and that certain foods are more important to eat cooked than others. That makes sense, right? You don’t normally chomp into a raw potato.


All in all, we owe a lot of our evolutionary prowess to the discovery of fire.


And it turns out that one of the ways cooking our food with fire helped us in the long run was to increase our energy input and decrease our energy output – a powerful tool we would do well to continue using!

Jim,

Hi Jimi,


Are the kids ok?


It’s something my wife and I talk about a lot more now than we have before.


Not that we didn’t want them to be healthy or happy before…


It’s just that we find ourselves wondering how much all this recent trauma is affecting them.


They can’t have birthday parties, play dates, visits with grandparents. In fact, they can’t even join me for the weekly trip out to the grocery store.


It had me wondering about the impacts of this quarantine on the kids.


So...I decided to bring in the best person I know to have a candid conversation on just this topic.


Dr. K (as he likes to be called) is a holistic pediatrician that says the risks of physical sickness in our children could be outweighed by the mental and emotional issues he’s seeing in his practice now.


Check out the conversation here on YouTube, it’s enlightening.


And if you know anyone with kids under 18, I urge you to share this information with them too. It’s helpful to hear from people who are working with children every day.


You can also check out the Raising Healthy Kids course that Dr. K participates in. We go into endless different ways to help our kids be healthier and happier.


Ever since filming this course, I’ve seen a dramatic change in my own young children. It’s a delight to see!


I wish you well during this difficult time and hope that my conversations with experts will continue to help you and your family.

Hey,

There’s not one, but two new podcast episodes that are now available on the Smarter Tech podcast.

In these episodes, I get very personal as I dive deep into technologies that are nothing new -- but could date back from thousands of years.

I’m talking about the shamanic traditions and the concoction of ayahuasca, a psychedelic medicine that is becoming an increasing trend for CEOs, entrepreneurs and free thinkers seeking for spiritual growth and self-introspection.

In this episode #10 and its following #10.5 (and not #11 as it’s been mistakenly called in the recording), I’ll recall my journey to a ayahuasca retreat center in Ecuador called “Gaia Sagrada”, how it has impacted the view I have on psychedelic drugs, how it has affected my personal growth, and a quick review of the science behind ayahuasca.

If you’re not open to these experiences, you can skip this week’s episodes. But if you’re a tad curious about plant medicine and want to get to know me better, tune in:
