This is NOT some pseudoscience. I will explain what the latest research says. It is not speculation, 'broscience' or Dr. OZ bullsh-t. This is important info that can benefit the whole community. If you don't believe me do some research yourself.

This post is different.

The RedPill teaches us to dig deeper and see things as they really are. We spend a lot of time here reading and analysing our social dynamics and psychology.

Lifting and meditation help us understand that the mind and body are interconnected. The old idea of a "soul" is wrong: it supposes that we cannot change who we inherently are. In reality, everything changes, by the time you are fully grown all the cells that made up you as a child have been replaced. Everything changes, and what happens in our lives changes us. Personality is the result of many factors, not only a soul (if you believe in one).

Science is amazing. There is so much new research in all fields but for this post let's look at biology. We know that men today are shells of past generations. The incidence of autism and asbergers, especially in males is much higher today than in past generations. We are sicker, fatter and more depressed. The average testosterone for men today was in the "low" range in our fathers' era's. This post will look at the root causes of these issues, and how to fix our problems.

Lets face it, most of TRP guys have been shy, low-testosterone, slightly autistic, depressed, infatuated and deluded cucks before. That is why we are here. We admit here the importance of diet and exercise. I believe the reason for many of our woes is gut bacteria. You see, a few generations ago, heck for all of human history you would have been born through your mom's vagina exposed to boatloads of bacteria that would populate you. Then you would crawl around unsterilised environments and soil, being exposed to more bacteria. Our ancestors would eat the guts of slaughtered animals and all the half-digested grasses. You would be breastfed, would eat food that did not have pesticides or pesticide residue and if you were sick you would either die, or recover, and you would not have had antibiotics.

There is a mountain of research in the past few years showing the gut-brain connection. Your gut bacteria literally secrete chemicals that develop your personality, your gut has the second highest amount of nerves in your body and is always communicating with your brain via the vagus.

Poor gut health leads to depression, disease, poor digestion, inflammation and a multitude of problems.

Today, many of our mothers have taken antibiotics, especially in the 70' and 80's when the adverse health risks of all the antibiotics and pharmaceuticals were unknown. These damage our mother's microbiome. Additionally recently in human history agriculture has ravaged our natural gut bacteria: grains and excess carbohydrates allow harmful bacteria to take over your body and depopulate the good bacteria that are neccessary for health and development. Our mothers and fathers have not passed on as much healthy bacteria to us as previously in humans' 2 million years history as a species. Many of us are born by cesarean, (highly associated with autism), than washed immediately, ruining the chances of our guts being properly populated, then we are not breastfed properly and instead fed commercial sugar filled 'formula' which contain no good bacteria, no neccessary hormones, and the carbohydrates in it and the 'baby food' feed the wrong bacteria. Then we crawl around sterilised surfaces. God forbid we touch soil and get our hands dirty. Don't you ever see mothers constantly lathering their children's faces and hands with antibacterial wipes? We eat no guts, touch no soil, our feet never touch the the soil, so we get athletes foot and other fungal infections. Our mouths and armpits smell because they are full of the wrong bacterias.

Many of us grow up with Irritable bowel syndrome and gas, why? Because our bodies are slaves to harmful bacteria that use us. We have ADHD because our brains do not develop as well because of 2 reasons:

1) the compounds secreted by good gut bacteria neccessary for brain development are reduced

2) we are not in ketosis (fat burning) when growing up, so our brains hardly taste ketones, the superfuel for our brains that cause them to light up. Normal breastfed babies are in ketosis. (Many cognitive issues: epilepsy, autism, aspergers, dementia, stroke recovery, ADHD, poor memory etc are alleviated by a ketogenic diet)

We have bad hormonal health because of bad gut bacteria. As we know, TESTOSTERONE is THE RedPill hormone. If we had all had higher testosterone half of us would not have needed the RedPill. We were the kids that would let other kids take our toys in kindergarten, the ones who got pushed by the real boys, the ones who fell autistically in love at age 14 with some unicorn. The microbiome plays such a huge role in personality development it must be taken VERY seriously. If we lived in the pre-agricultural era we would be fine. But how do we fix the damage done by modern world? How do we get the good bacteria that increases testosterone and cures us?

1) Stop grains and sugar. Obvious. They feed bad bacteria. Gluten allows our guts to be vulnerable to inflammation and parasites. Sugar feeds bad bacteria like candida and those that cause Irritable bowel syndrome. (Sugar also feeds cancer: most cancer cells can't use other fuels like fatty acids and ketones, just saying).

2) Cut dairy (except perhaps butter) dairy is bad for gut bacteria

3) Eat coconut oil, it kills bad bacteria

4) MOST importantly: eat fermented foods. Kimchi and Sauerkraut. With every meal. Remember, our guys are totally out of whack. You must undo years of damage. Fermented foods increase longevity.

5) get dirty in soil

6) don't take antibiotics

Most probiotics are useless as the bacteria die in your stomach before reaching your gut. Whereas the bacteria in fermented foods love acidic environments, so will make it down there. Curing your gut will improve stress-tolerance, testosterone, concentration, deppression and being a whiny boy. It is not the be-all and end-all, but it is important. And a bad gut affects your mind and therefore the modern world has ruined many childhoods and lives. The gut is your centre, your the core, the source to your wellbeing and power. Everything else is affected by what resonates from your gut. We are made mainly by bacteria. Never forget that. It is no good doing self-improvement and learning about TRP concepts if your mind is not able to implement them because it is deprived.
