KEY FINDINGS: Microbiome

Every day, trillions of good bacteria work in our gut to metabolize, detoxify, and activate key nutrients in our food. How do we keep these gut bacteria happy so they help us stay healthy? Check out the videos on the Microbiome topic page.

Volunteer Spotlight: Cass Warbeck

“I have been a proud NutritionFacts volunteer for many years! I started out on the Article Search team and now reply to comments on the Facebook page and help with the video review. I find it rewarding to contribute to an organization that highlights and shares such important nutritional research. This information should be available to all, and I believe that one day, whole food, plant-based nutrition will be a fundamental part of standard health care. By volunteering, I know I’m helping to manifest that change.

I love grapes and matcha! But one of my favorite recipes is a morning BROL bowl, based on Dr. Greger’s recipe that has replaced standard oatmeal. I heat up a cup BROL season with soy milk, then cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, then add ground flaxseeds, walnuts, amla powder, and blueberries. Add some hemp hearts and you’ll be energized for hours!
