Recent studies from Columbia University discovered that people with chronic fatigue syndrome – marked by debilitating exhaustion and brain fog – had their butyrate-producing gut bacteria almost completely wiped out.
The worse the depletion, the worse their crashes and mental fog became.
And here’s why this matters to you:
This landmark study shed new light on why many Americans suffer with fatigue.
In fact, a CDC report suggests 9 out of 10 Americans maybe fundamentally lacking in butyrate due to the lack of compounds needed to support butyrate in our nation's diet.
Specifically, a compound known as "Phenolic Acid", that without, it doesn’t matter how much fiber you eat or how many probiotics you take… your butyrate levels stay stuck in the basement.
Combine that with the fact that much of our food supply is ultra-processed junk that actively destroys butyrate bacteria… and it’s no wonder so many of us feel burned out before lunch.
