In parts of the world known as blue zones, people live long and active lives—often into their nineties or hundreds—by eating mostly plant-based foods grown in healthy, mineral-rich soil. Their gardens are alive with beneficial microbes, unlike the depleted soils of modern industrial farming.
They harvest and eat their vegetables straight from the garden, keeping those living bacteria intact and supporting healthy gut biology. They don’t follow diets. Their gut and head brains—the body’s natural control system—decide what and how much to eat. Modern food, by contrast, is high in sugar and fat, low in nutrients, and full of chemicals. This damages gut health and drives constant cravings for more unhealthy food.
What is Gbiota Food?
Gbiota food restores the minerals and beneficial biology missing in modern diets. It mirrors the natural nutrition found in blue zones, where people thrive on food grown in living soil. Gbiota food isn’t a diet plan—it’s eaten before meals to help the body’s natural systems regulate appetite and balance.
Feed your brain
Modern diseases like diabetes, obesity, and dementia stem from fat stored in the wrong places. Calorie counting and restrictive diets fail because they ignore how our two brains—head and gut—work together to manage appetite. These systems evolved to keep us healthy, but only if we feed them properly.
Neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi showed that people on high-fat, high-sugar diets have shrunken, unhealthy brains, while those on nutrient-rich diets have full, healthy ones. The message is simple: feed your brain.
Colin’s Journey
When Colin Austin’s wife, Dr. Xiulan, faced diabetes and near blindness, he turned his background in innovation toward health. He realised modern food lacks vital nutrients because industrial farming replaces only what plants need—not what humans need. This deficiency triggers constant hunger and disease.
Ask “Why?”

Fifty years ago, obesity and diabetes were rare. What changed? Our food. Today’s diets are high in calories and low in essential nutrients. When we restore nutrients to our diet, cravings and “fat in the wrong places” begin to fade.
Forget Calorie Counting
Counting calories ignores how our bodies evolved. Feed your gut and brain real food, not processed calories, and they will regulate energy naturally.
It’s in the Soil
Colin travelled through Africa, Asia, and the Americas to learn from traditional farmers and combined their wisdom with modern innovation. The result was the Gbiota bed—a system that grows nutrient-rich, biologically alive food in a sustainable way
Vegetables like kale or celery are healthy only if grown in living soil. Chemically grown produce may look good but lack nutrients or even contain toxins. Real food comes from honest soil.
Healthy soil biology mirrors the human gut. In Gbiota’s system, plants are delivered while still growing, full of living microbes that strengthen gut health and restore the body’s natural balance.
Test for Yourself

Track your weight, waist, or blood sugar levels—or simply notice how you feel. Health isn’t about numbers alone; it’s about how your body responds.
Many people leave traditional lifestyles for convenience and entertainment, but modern living often leads to poor health. We don’t need to choose between progress and wellbeing—we can unite both through a movement for real, living food grown in living soil.
