It works proactively in maintaining a healthy microbiome by ensuring most of our energy is spent in the healing and rebuilding of worn-out and damaged cells. Dr. Jockers narrates how time-restricted feeding resolves major issues in our microbiomes and digestive systems. He also shares the steps you can follow to make sure you are implementing time-restricted feeding correctly.    “There’s a lot of structural mechanical processes happening in our gut when we eat which expose the intestinal lining to wear and tear.” -Dr. David Jockers     Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   In This Episode:   - Discover the ecosystem of the microbiome and how your eating habits help you navigate toward better-balanced health    - Take the guesswork out of  boosting the bacteria and microbes that ward off disease (Did you know they do 80% of that work?!)   - How the timing of your meals and snacks eases stress on your gut and adds more bounce to its lining   - Get in some downtime!
