Lori Harder explains that the gut microbiome communicates with the brain and skin, affecting skin appearance and mental clarity. She recommends eating aligned with the sun (daylight hours) and stopping eating after dark — even a 12-hour overnight fast can improve skin and brain clarity by allowing the gut/rest processes to recover.
Your gut microbiome literally affects everything, our gut bacteria. Just like it's communicating with our brain, it's also communicating with our skin. All of a sudden when you change your diet people will say like, oh, it's weird, my skin got better. I always talk about eating with the sun, like circadian rhythm. So you eat during the daylight hours and then in the evening when it's dark, stop eating. It's so simple. I know, so simple. It's so hard. Even 12 hour break, you're going to notice a difference in your skin, you're going to notice a difference in your brain clarity because that got back to I got a chance to rest. It's like giving them their first night of sleep in like six years, you know, making them work out all day. Yeah, poor guys. They're trying to make you happy, they're trying to make you look good. Yeah.
