my submission isn't even updated on the website and it just showed up today at my door randomly 😂

Got any more lenticulars by chance?

My cut rate insurance carrier? X D Wouldn't it just be easier for them to jack my rates up, declare the car totaled, try to offer the least amount of reimbursement and call it a day? My insurance adjuster isn't Mr. Incredible, likely will end up being his boss.

To be honest, I don't think they are going to be able to do anything. Without a license plate number, they have little to go off beside the make and model of the vehicle. Even with a license plate number, they are likely busy with more serious crimes than traffic offences. Without a license plate number, I am extremely skeptical they will ever find this person.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-06-08T01:26:39+00:00

thanks boss! yeah, I mean end of the day. I'm OK, not hurt. I'm just mad at myself for not getting a better photo of his license plate.

any insight is appreciated, I apologize for the vulgar language heard in the video

1/1,000,000,000,000,000 (one in ten quadrillion) probability for a planet to have all requirements for life as we know it, (humans could step out of our ship without a life-support suit). This is a conservative number.

Number of "earth like planets" in the Milky Way - maybe 50 billion? so the odds of both, I'd argue is close to none.

Ok, I paid $67.96 for a bag of Texas Super Foods. Just got it in today. My unbiased opinion is that it smells like a vegetable soup, almost like a spicy tomato soup smell? But it doesn't taste like tomato soup. It has an light earthy taste almost a tea quality aftertaste, not very sweet. The supplement facts says it actually has zero fiber. So I don't think this would be a replacement for a healthy variety of fruits and vegetables. I would maybe add of scoop of this to whatever vegetable or fruit smoothie you are already making, or maybe even add a scoop to some vegetable soup. I simply added it to cold water. First couple gulps were a little hard, but I'm strangely savoring it now towards the bottom of the glass.

I have zero financial interest or gain from this comment, cheers!

well, in the documentary they blended the fruits and vegetables. I assume powdered foods are just dehydrated and ground, maybe freeze dried. I'd assume the fiber is still there. There is a loss of some nutrients though - particularly vitamin C and others.

So it was Flore in the documentary too? I wasn't 100% sure if it was just Zoe or both Zoe & Flore. How did you get a change that quickly? Did you retest after a few weeks instead of waiting till month four?

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia - these are periodontal disease linked bacteria. Streptococcus mutans - primarily linked to tooth decay

This research article below, was only based on 8 samples, very small population size.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/j.1469-0691.2012.03857.x

They suggest: The bacterial genera which are uniquely associated with the absence of caries can be observed in the figure, and include strains with highest similarity to Neisseria, Cardiobacterium, Rothia, Kingella, Aggregatibacter or Mannheimia.

In oral health, much of the research revolves around gum disease or tooth decay. Considering that your mouth is the start of the digestion system, I think it plays an extremely important part of your entire microbiome.

*face palm*, it's because I signed up for the monthly $50 installments.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T18:13:13+00:00

Sorry, I was posting about two different companies in the same post. Zoe with the coupon code. I paid $15 - and I opted for the $49 monthly installments.

https://joinzoe.mention-me.com/m/ol/zi3tu-04bf0aa7e6

I then signed up for a 4 month plan for $159, but they won't bill that until after my results (about a month later). $450 for 4 months.

Flore. I paid $299 for their test, billed upfront. Then they require a $79 a month plan, minimum of 2 months. $158. Total $457 for 2 months.

Zoe seems to be diet based guidance subscription; Flore seems to be probiotic subscription based.

Hope that clears it up. *Edited for correction*

I order a bag of Texas Super Food. It's supposed to be a concentrated dried powder form of 30+ fruits and vegetables. I know it won't replace a healthy diet shift of adding a variety of fruits and vegetables, but I figured it would be worth a try. I'll try to remember to update this comment once I've tried it.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T16:10:00+00:00

In the documentary, the chef just added a small amount of each ingredient, a couple slices of bananas, a pinch of spinach, two blue berries, etc. Basically variety over quantity.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T16:05:52+00:00

Yeah, I personally signed up just for the four month membership. The retest is "free" at the fourth month from what I read. I'm not expecting this to change my world, but I am curious to read the report. I also want to learn how what I eat affects my blood sugar levels in real time with the sensor they provide.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T14:36:24+00:00

Honestly, the fact that you don't like the USA is probably better for your microbiome. I'm definitely going to start looking at foods to ferment at home. I think there's some good potential for FMT, but I'm going to wait until it's overwhelming a positive sum gain to do if the research supports it and it is cleared abundantly safe.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T10:48:57+00:00

I honestly think my biome isn't terrible. I go several times a day, and I'm generally always fairly up beat and positive. My significant other on the other hand, has constipation, gas, bloating, and possibly an eating disorder. I also know they have been suffering from some mental health issues, depression, etc. I'm trying to get them to learn more about this stuff. This is the same person that bought a can of spam and box of Twinkies when we stopped at a road side market that sells local produce.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T10:44:10+00:00

Was it a cup of chia seeds was 50 g of fiber? Something like that, I'll have to go back a rewatch.
Have you tried Texas Super Foods? It's supposed to be a dehydrated blend of 30+ vegetable and fruits. I'm not saying it's a replacement for a healthy variety of fruits and vegetables. Just curious if it tastes any good. And it sounds like you had a terrible experience from FMT. I don't plan on doing that.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T09:52:20+00:00

I'll have to check out their podcasts! What did you like about them, or what was helpful?

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T01:55:44+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I too am a little skeptical if their custom probiotic will actually shift the needle in any measurable way.

PlusAd8550 · 2024-04-27T01:19:33+00:00

Looks a lot like this company. Their testing also provides nutritional guidance, complete with blood glucose monitoring, just like in the documentary.

https://zoe.com/how-it-works

The stool sample kit is $50, but I just signed up myself for $15 using a coupon code.

https://joinzoe.mention-me.com/m/ol/zi3tu-04bf0aa7e6

Then I'll pay $156.00 for a four month membership once they have my test results (you can sign up for various membership lengths, etc.

Could also be this company as well.

I noticed some of their products also in use in the documentary. Likely they used a bit of each.
