Our bodies are regulated by an intelligent control system that evolved over millions of years. This system manages appetite, fat storage, immunity, energy, and long-term health — but it only functions properly when we feed it the biology and nutrients it expects from natural food grown in living soil.
Everyone has an intelligent control system, it manages our breathing so we have enough oxygen, our heart rate so our muscles have adequate energy, our immune system, our temperature and most importantly our appetite.
If we have a fully functioning intelligent control system we can look forward to a long and healthy life, if it malfunctions we may get fat and sick and if it stops working we die.
This is the result of over a billion years of evolution and is one of the wonders of the world. If we have a fully functioning intelligent control system we can look forward to a long and healthy life, if it malfunctions we may get fat and sick and if it stops working we die.
It could be called the essence of life yet we have very little understanding of how it works. We can observe the result of its actions which gives us some idea and recently humans have developed intelligent control systems for their machines which gives a further insight into how it may work.
Appetite
Unlike breathing and drinking, appetite is very complex, we need a whole range of foods, food for energy which is relatively simple but we need a complex array of nutrients to build and replace our body parts.
Our intelligent control system can sense if we are short of specific nutrients and learns over time which foods supply those nutrients.
Our intelligent control system can sense if we are short of specific nutrients and learns over time which foods supply those nutrients and then sends out a complex spectrum to make us crave those particular foods.
Fat or skinny
Some people are fat while others are skinny. We change throughout our lives, babies are born chubby, but when they learn to walk they lose their baby fat and are skinny until adolescence when the sexes diverge in their fat distribution.
These variations continue into midlife with men developing wobbly tums and women developing wobbly bums until in old age we revert back to being skinny.
Genetics play a part but research with twins shows this is not as strong as we may think.
But what drives this process?
Genetics play a part but research with twins shows this is not as strong as we may think. Fat people may have fat kids so we may think but they also share a similar lifestyle.
It seems that how we train our intelligent control system has a major influence. Without thinking we train our intelligent control system to learn that certain foods do certain jobs and can create a hormone spectrum to crave those particular foods. It is much more complex than a single hormone that makes us crave food and another hormone that makes us feel full and stop eating.
The role of hormones
Whether we are fat or skinny is decided by our intelligent control system and implemented by creating hormones to control our appetite.
We may try to override our intelligent control system but this is rarely successful long term.
True if we get fat it is because of what we eat and what we want to eat is driven by our intelligent control system sending our hormones.
We may try to override our intelligent control system but this is rarely successful long term.
But we can train our intelligent control system so it sends out the appropriate hormonal spectrum.
We learned this from observing people who have been deprived of food for a period. When food becomes available our intelligent control system decides we need to store more fat. A restrictive diet only makes things worse.
To bring weight back to normal we have to re-train our intelligent control system by a nutrient-rich diet.

Mostly our intelligent control system works in our subconscious which we do not control but we can use our conscious brain to retrain our intelligent control system.
Our gut microbes
Even more surprising is that the microbes in our gut, which are not part of us, form part of our intelligent control system.
These microbes communicate with each other to form swarm or group intelligence.

We have known for a long time that we can make fat people skinny and skinny people fat by changing the species of microbes in their gut.
The epidemic of chronic disease
Across the globe, we are experiencing an epidemic of chronic diseases obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
A functioning intelligent control system will create the hormones that make you stop eating, even if your diet is highly processed foods.
These have existed for a long time but been relatively rare – but now the scale has reached epidemic proportions.
We may be tempted to blame the abundance of highly processed foods which are full of sugars and fats blended to the bliss point and containing addictive additives.
No way can we defend these but they are not the prime cause of the epidemic of chronic diseases.
A functioning intelligent control system will create the hormones that make you stop eating, even if your diet is highly processed foods.
But if your intelligent control system is not functioning then you will overeat, regardless of what you are eating.
The root cause is a lack of the beneficial microbes which form part of your intelligent control system – your gut-brain.
The root cause is a lack of the beneficial microbes which form part of your intelligent control system – your gut-brain.
That is simply solved by feeding your gut-brain by eating plants grown in soil where the beneficial microbes are breeding.
This is simple, anyone can do it even if they have no growing experience and live in an apartment.
It just needs a Gbiota biobox.
