Summary of Description:
This video discusses the relationship between your microbiome and cancer. Your microbiome significantly impacts your immune system, and friendly bacteria have a direct anti-cancer effect. Pathogens like H. pylori, EBV, and HPV, can increase your risk of cancer by harming your microbiome. Consuming fiber and low-carb vegetables can help support and diversify your microbiome, producing anti-inflammatory Butyrate that decreases insulin resistance and supports the gut barrier. The video also suggests using probiotics and fasting to improve your microbiome and offers an immune system strengthening course.

Your Microbiome: Your Best Defense Against Cancer
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes collectively known as your microbiome. These friendly bacteria have a direct anti-cancer effect, and protecting and supporting their growth is essential in reducing your risk of cancer. In this article, we’ll discuss how your microbiome protects against cancer.
The Role of The Microbiome in Your Immune System
About 70% of your immune system is located in your gut, which means your microbiome plays an essential role in your immune system. Friendly bacteria help regulate the immune system, and by controlling inflammation, they can help protect your cells from damage, including damage that could develop into cancer. Taking antibiotics and harming friendly gut bacteria increases cancer risk by 18%.
Microbes and Fiber
Cancer. Adequate fiber intake has been linked to lower colon, breast, and stomach cancer incidences. Friendly bacteria in your microbiome feed off the fiber. Consuming vegetables will increase fiber intake and help support and diversify your microbiome.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects of The Microbiome
Inflammation is the body’s response to infection or injury, but when it becomes chronic, it can cause damage to your cells, leading to cancer. Cancer thrives in an environment of inflammation, and it often appears in areas where there has been a past injury. Yet, your microbiome has anti-inflammatory effects. By controlling inflammation, your friendly gut bacteria protect your cells and reduce cancer risk.
Butyrate, Insulin, and The Gut Barrier
Microbes produce a type of fat called Butyrate that reduces cancer risk. It also plays an important role in decreasing insulin resistance. This is important because cancer feeds off sugar, and if your body’s sugar levels are imbalanced, you have an increased risk of cancer. Butyrate also supports the gut barrier, which helps prevent leaky gut and inflammation. Good gut health is essential in ensuring your body is protected against cancer.
Tips for Your Microbiome
Your microbiome needs to be maintained to reduce your risk of cancer. Here are some tips to support your microbiome:
– Probiotics: If you experience constipation frequently, it is a sign that your microbiome is lacking. Probiotics can help replenish friendly gut microbes to support your microbiome and prevent constipation.
– Prebiotics: Prebiotics are foods that support the growth of friendly bacteria in your gut. The best way to get fiber on a keto diet is to consume a wide range of low-carb vegetables—especially cabbage and kimchi.
– Fasting: Fasting has been found to increase the survival of your microbiome and helps diversify your microbiome.
How to Bulletproof Your Immune System
The immune system can fight off cancer and do so effectively with the right tools. Dr. Eric Berg’s course “How to Bulletproof Your Immune System” guides improving your immune system, boosting your gut health, and reducing your risk of developing cancer.
Final Thoughts
Your microbiome significantly impacts your health and well-being, particularly in reducing cancer risk. To support your microbiome, focus on consuming a diverse range of low-carb vegetables, adequate fiber intake, and fasting. Additionally, consider taking pre and probiotics, and enroll in immune-boosting courses to help protect your body against cancer.

In this video, we will talk about your microbiome and how it protects against cancer.
Your microbiome has a huge influence on your immune system. About 70% of your immune system is located in the gut. Friendly bacteria have a direct anti-cancer effect. Taking antibiotics, which harm your friendly gut bacteria, increases your cancer risk by 18%.
The friendly bacteria that make up your microbiome consume fiber. Consuming vegetables will increase your fiber intake and, in turn, help support and diversify your microbiome.
Microbes produce a type of fat called Butyrate. Butyrate can reduce your risk of cancer.
A primary task of our microbiome is to limit the pathogens in our body. Pathogens like H. pylori, EBV, and HPV, trigger 20% of all cancers—people who these viral or bacterial infections often have a problem with their microbiome.
Your microbes, and the Butyrate they produce, have anti-inflammatory effects. Cancer tends to migrate to areas of inflammation—this is why cancer often appears in places with an injury.
Butyrate also plays an important role in decreasing insulin resistance. Guess what cancer feeds off of? Sugar! If your blood sugar levels are off due to insulin resistance, you will have an increased cancer risk.
Butyrate supports the gut barrier, which helps prevent leaky gut and inflammation.
If you frequently experience constipation, this is a sign that your microbiome is lacking. Probiotics can help replenish friendly gut microbes to support your microbiome and help you prevent constipation.
Prebiotics are important for gut health. The best way to get fiber on a keto diet is to consume a wide range of low-carb vegetables—especially cabbage and kimchi.
Fasting increases the survival of your microbiome and helps diversify your microbiome.
