The trillions of cells in our guts do more than digest food. They form part of an intelligent control system that manages how our bodies store fat.
We need to store fat; this is natural. But if the control system is not working correctly, fat is stored in the wrong places — in vital organs such as the pancreas (diabetes), in the brain (dementia), or throughout the body (obesity).
When the gut control system is damaged, the body stores fat where it harms rather than protects.
Science has not yet fully explained how this intelligent control system works. People exist on a spectrum: some can eat anything and remain slim; others struggle despite strict diets.
However, we can learn from the world’s “blue zones,” where people live long and stay healthy into old age. What these communities share is simple: they eat vegetables grown in nutrient-rich, biologically active soil, free from toxic chemicals.
Healthy soil produces healthy plants, which support a healthy gut, which supports a healthy body.
The Gbiota™ bed technology was developed based on observations from traditional societies to enhance gut biology. Eating food grown in a Gbiota™ bed does not guarantee the prevention of diabetes, dementia or obesity, but it may improve the odds. And results can be assessed personally by observing changes in gut function and appetite control.
I enjoy food and experience cravings. But every morning, I drink a green smoothie made from Gbiota™ food. I stop feeling hungry and my gut function improves. You can test this yourself.
Community Supported Agriculture
There is a growing movement worldwide where communities and farmers work together. You can read about this global movement here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture.
The approach we support is straightforward. A local group forms from three roles:
- Biofoodies – people who want food grown in living, nutrient-rich soil
- Regenies – regenerative farmers who focus on soil health
- Groupies – organisers who coordinate ordering and distribution
The process:
-
- Groupies start and run the group
- Biofoodies join to create buying power
- Regenies grow the produce
- The community decides which crops to grow
- Regenies list produce online
- Biofoodies place orders
- Groupies arrange packing and delivery
- A delivery van collects produce from farms and delivers directly to homes
Community food systems work when growers, eaters and organisers collaborate.
