RE-EMPOWERMENT

It can feel terribly disempowering to envision the extent to which our global ecology is in distress. But I don’t want to leave you feeling defeated, particularly because, as we saw in Chapter 7, the defeat reaction is characterized by insulin resistance, abnormal cholesterol metabolism, retention of abdominal fat, and other factors that slow your metabolism and increase your weight.

Instead, I want to do two things. I want you to feel validated in your sense that you are indeed up against powerful forces that are out of your control—the food industry, which floods the market with unhealthy choices; industrial polluters, who overwhelm your world with toxins and endocrine disrupters; the corporations that develop, grow, and sell genetically modified products; and the government that permits and sometimes even encourages these practices. You aren’t making it up: there really are powerful forces arrayed against you, making it more difficult for you to regain control of your health and lose your unwanted weight.

And I want you to remember that you are a powerful being, capable of cleaning up your inner ecology and joining with others to clean up our outer ecology. Reconnecting with your body and your microbiome—that extraordinary intelligence within you—can restore your health, rebalance your immune system, and rejuvenate your gastrointestinal tract. It can also return you to a healthy weight. Although you are up against powerful forces, you can succeed, especially now that you are armed with the power and knowledge of the Microbiome Diet. When you reconnect to the collective intelligence of your microbiome, when you support your inner ecology, and when you learn how to listen to your body and hear what it needs, you will be empowered to make the choices that boost your metabolism and bring you to a healthy weight. Trillions of microorganisms within your brain, gut, and cells are ready to help you succeed—if you only give them the nourishment they need.
