How Variety in Your Microbiome Keeps You Strong
Oct 14, 2025
"Building and protecting diversity in your microbiome is one of the best ways to create lasting health and resilience."
Why Diversity Matters
- The more diverse your microbiome, the more adaptable and stable it is.
- Different microbes perform overlapping jobs - this is called redundancy, which acts like a backup system.
- Low diversity makes the microbiome fragile and more likely to break down after stress.
What Resilience Looks Like
- A resilient microbiome can recover after illness, stress, travel, or dietary change.
- It bends but doesn't break - helping you tolerate more foods, exposures, and challenges without getting sick.
- Resilience depends on diversity, keystone species, healthy barriers, and strong communication between microbes and your immune system.
What Weakens Resilience?
- Frequent antibiotics
- Processed, low-fiber foods
- Chronic stress and poor sleep
- Environmental toxins and over-sanitization
- Lack of exposure to nature, pets, and real food variety
