In today’s email we cover vegetable oils and skin regeneration, how to get comfortably into a deep squat from a starting point of having tight hips, and giving your liver a chance to repair itself.

Probiotics are a powerful tool for whole-body health… When they actually work. The problem is, many commercial probiotics don’t make it past the stomach acid, and most don’t have anything to keep them alive long enough to reproduce.
Bioma does it the way that works, getting past both of those hurdles. Click here to learn how it achieves this!

Unlike a lot of probiotics, Bioma’s delayed-release capsule technology ensures that the probiotic actually passes through your harsh stomach acids safely—delivering all the active bacteria gently to your gut.

Once there, Bioma provides not only the probiotics themselves, but also the things they need to thrive, and ingredients that make the gut a safer place for your microbiome—and by extension, for you:

PS, about today’s sponsor: if you're wondering how long it'll take to benefit, some effects may be noticeable immediately (it depends on the current state of your gut microbiome), and it typically takes 6–8 weeks for the beneficial bacteria to have fully colonized your gut.

While the author is not “Dr. Patrick Holford”, it’s worth mentioning that he is a career nutritionist with half the alphabet after his name, and decades of experience in the field.

Now, about the detox diet: being well-informed 10almonds readers, you probably know that most detox diets do little to nothing, and your liver detoxes itself; that is literally one of its main jobs.

However! Depending on diet and lifestyle, sometimes it can get a backlog of work, and then it starts struggling. We wrote about that in our article: How To Unfatty A Fatty Liver.

The premise of this book is in the largest part very similar to what we wrote there, and it’s about giving your liver a metabolic break, for which it will be grateful and use the slack to do its own internal clean-up and regeneration.

The way Holford recommends doing this is consistent with what we’ve written before, just, in a lot more detail because it’s a whole book. It’s also more extreme, because it’s a 9-day thing rather than our usual focus on sustainability, so for example he’ll often say “cut out” many things where we have often said “reduce” or “avoid”.

In few words:

He offers a dietary approach (and of course, a 9-day meal plan, with recipes), and also recommends a lot of supplements. However, if you don’t love taking supplements, then the diet plan is already just fine.

Oddly, he does include a chapter on reintroducing all the “bad” things, which seems like a strange thing to choose to do especially in the cases of things like alcohol if you literally just quit it, but of course it’s an option.

The style is quite old-school pop-science, but still very readable, easy to navigate if looking for specific things, and there’s a bibliography as well as a resource list at the back.

Bottom line: if you’d like to take radical short-term action to improve your liver health quickly, this book will indeed help you to do that!
