Clinical research has shown that loss of gut microbiotic diversity is one of the leading causes of sleep disorders, psychological conditions, autoimmune disorders, heart problems, breathing disorders and even infertility. This is because the metabolites that our gut microbiotica release can affect organs and tissues at a distance from the gut in the body. Your diet is a core driving influence in the diversity of your gut microbiome.

If you look at the human body you will notice an interesting repeating theme … layers. Every one of our organs, glands, bones, nerves, pathways and even memories are in layers. So when symptoms begin we don’t always realize the truth … that every illness emerges from layers of unresolved issues that have burdened our body to the point of literally screaming.

I'm back in Switzerland visiting my family and one of the very first things I notice is the difference in food. The taste, the quality, the very feeling of fullness that you get when you eat food here. Back home I buy organic for most things, but I have to tell you that I had forgotten what onions REALLY smell like until I was here in Switzerland.

When we were kids, some of my fondest memories were rolling down a grassy hill, slinging mudballs at my sister and eating snow (well, not the yellow or dirty snow!). Now everything is antibacterial, kids live in sterile capsules and we are constantly washing everything in sight.

Now we have all known commitmentphobes. Usually men, usually the great-looking men with flashing smiles who smell great and say all the right things. But we are all commitmentphobes of one sort or another.

I loved the movie Highlander. Not just because I love Sean Connery when his brogue is broader than the Corrieshalloch Gorge. But because it is one of the most basic concepts in life, literature and the pursuit of happiness.
