In this brief monologue, Dr. Dino Prato outlines a gut‑focused dietary approach. He advises eliminating ultra‑processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils because they can disrupt the gut microbiome. Instead, he recommends consuming whole, organic foods—including grass‑fed beef and a variety of vegetables—along with sprouted seeds prepared at home for their antioxidant content. He also emphasizes the importance of fermented foods such as kefir and fermented vegetables to nurture a healthy gut microbiome. The overall message is that choosing minimally processed, nutrient‑dense foods supports digestive health and overall well‑being.

The foods you should be eating to be healthy in your diet. Get rid of the ultra-processed foods, any refined carbohydrates, seed oils, anything that's going to potentially disrupt the gut microbiome. So we're eating foods that are whole. We're eating organic foods, we're eating grass-fed beef, and we're eating vegetables, sprouted seeds that we can make in our own kitchen that are loaded with antioxidants. And we're working with our digestive system, eating fermented foods, the kefirs, the fermented vegetables to help our gut. So we have good gut microbiome.
