Recommending that people eat more polyphenol-rich foods is my #1 favorite nutritional strategy... Partially because they feed beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia, but also because I get to be the hero who tells them that dark chocolate and coffee are therapeutic 😉

I have high arkemansias much more than normal I believe is not good
But I don't know the meaning

All this "discovery" is repacking of ancient system of medicine called Ayurveda, literally meaning science of healthy living.

How do you test for akkermansia levels?

Can we talk about how polyphenols and phytates affect iron absorption? I eat mainly plant based and some wild fish. My ferritin is low and lipids are low. Iron is high. I take turmeric, vitamin c, zinc, d3/k2, elderberry, b complex and magnesium. Seems they all don’t play nice with iron. But they are imperative for optimum health.
