In this short monologue, Glenn Dawson shares his enthusiasm for kombucha, describing his daily consumption and its perceived benefits for gut health and the microbiome. He contrasts the low obesity prevalence among the Hadza tribe—attributed to their highly diverse microbiome—with the high rates of overweight and obesity in the United States. Dawson argues that kombucha helps diversify his gut flora, and he emphasizes that broader dietary diversity also supports a healthy microbiome.

Kombucha, one of my favorite drinks. Literally drink like one a day because I'm slightly addicted. The reason why I like it so much is because what it does for your microbiome and your gut health. There is a tribe called the Hadza tribe who has literally no obesity. As they age, they're all like, it's like 1% of the population is obese. Americans are 74% adults are overweight or obese. The one difference they had, it wasn't metabolism, it wasn't that they work harder, it's that they had a diverse microbiome. That's it. So kombucha is helping me do that. Diversifying your foods helps too, but kombucha tastes amazing, works well.
