🦠 WHAT IF YOUR GUT BACTERIA CAN INFLUENCE HOW YOUR GENES BEHAVE? 🧬

No — bacteria aren’t changing your DNA.
But certain bacterial strains and the metabolites they produce can influence gene expression — essentially changing which biological pathways are turned UP 🔺 or DOWN 🔻.

Through this microbiome–genome conversation, bacteria can influence signalling involved in:

🧬 inflammation
🛡️ immune regulation
🧱 intestinal barrier integrity
🔥 inflammatory cytokines
⚡ metabolism
🦠 the wider gut ecosystem

This is one reason I’m so interested in human-origin bacterial strains.
Progurt® | Online Shop uses a proprietary combination of human-origin Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains — an approach based on the idea that bacteria adapted to the human gastrointestinal tract may interact particularly effectively with our gut environment.

And here’s the really fascinating part…

Some microbial metabolites can even influence epigenetic regulation — the molecular machinery controlling how strongly particular genes are expressed.

So when I swallow these little guys 🦠, I’m not simply thinking:

“I’m taking a probiotic.”

I’m thinking:

🦠 BACTERIA
⬇️
⚗️ METABOLITES + CELL SIGNALS
⬇️
🧬 GENE REGULATION
⬇️
🛡️ IMMUNE + BARRIER + METABOLIC RESPONSES

Your genes matter.

But so does the biological environment those genes are operating in.

And THAT is where the microbiome gets incredibly interesting. 🦠🧬

Okay… Variable Resistance Training follow-up. 😳💪🏼

Suffice to say — IT IS HARD. 😂

The X3 protocol involves slow, controlled reps — keeping the muscle under tension for around 10–40 reps, then continuing with partial reps when full reps are no longer possible, pushing the muscle towards complete failure. 🔥

So why does it work?
Unlike a traditional weight, band resistance increases as the band stretches — generally giving you less resistance where you’re mechanically weaker and progressively more where you’re stronger.
Combine that with a slow tempo and there’s very little momentum to help you.
The muscle has to WORK.

As fatigue builds, your nervous system recruits more motor units to maintain force.
Add prolonged time under tension + high mechanical tension + training close to failure, and you have a potent stimulus for muscle strength and hypertrophy. 💪🏼

And how did it feel?

🔥 Serious muscular fatigue
🩸 HUGE pump and increased local blood flow
💪🏼 Muscles absolutely cooked
🦴 BUT surprisingly little sensation of stress through my joints and ligaments

It felt like a REAL workout — but the challenge was very much in the muscle rather than me wrestling with a heavy weight.

And at 55, THAT interests me.

I want to build and preserve muscle and strength while being intelligent about how I load my joints.

Muscles: destroyed.
Joints: happy.
Dr Lisa: VERY intrigued. 🤓🧬

About to give Variable Resistance Training a serious go using my X3 Bar. 💪🏼

Unlike traditional weights, the resistance from the bands increases as you move through the range — lighter where you’re mechanically weaker, and MUCH heavier where you’re stronger.

Why am I interested? 🤓

At 55, my training priorities have changed:

🦴 Build & maintain bone
💪🏼 Preserve muscle and strength
🧠 Train the nervous system
🦵🏼 Load joints and tendons intelligently
⏱️ Get a potent training stimulus without living in the gym

I’m not interested in simply exercising more.

I want to know: what is the smartest dose of resistance for healthy ageing?

So… osteopath + science nerd + X3 Bar = experiment officially underway. 🧬😂

I’ll report back on what my body thinks!

Could your tendinopathy or recurrent musculoskeletal problems simply be because you are chronically underhydrated?
100%
And that does NOT mean you need to drink more water.
You need to eat and drink more MINERALIZED water and food.

🔥 IT’S TIME TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. 🔥

Over the next 3 months, I’m going all in on restoring my body back to its best. 💪🧬

I’ve gone back through my DNA results, looked honestly at what’s been happening with my health, and designed a plan that works with my genetics—not against them.

What prompted this?

Quite simply…

Pain. 😢

After starting a new asthma medication, my joint pain and inflammation seemed to ramp up dramatically. Whether it was the medication itself or simply the final straw, my body has been telling me loud and clear that it’s time to reset. ❤️‍🩹

The fascinating part? 🧬

My genetics show that the genes which START inflammation are absolute overachievers! 🔥🔥🔥

But here’s the good news…

My genes responsible for SWITCHING OFF inflammation are actually really good too! 🚒👏

The problem isn’t that I can’t put the fire out…

The problem is that I’ve been unknowingly throwing petrol on the fire ⛽🔥

🍷 Alcohol just a few drinks here there but boy it has impacted me
🍞 Gluten. A few unexpected hits
🍰 Sugar. Yep I ate ice cream on holiday
☕ Caffeine.
🥛 Foods my body doesn’t tolerate.
😴 Poor recovery.
🧠 Too much stress.

In hunter-gatherer times, these inflammatory genes would have been a superpower. 💥

I’d probably survive infection, injury and trauma better than most.

But in today’s world—where we’re constantly exposed to processed foods, environmental triggers, chronic stress and immune challenges—that same genetic advantage can become a disadvantage.

So for the next 90 days…

🚫 No sugar.
🚫 No alcohol.
🚫 No caffeine.
🥩 Low-histamine carnivore.
💧 Electrolytes.
🦠 Human-specific probiotic isolates.
🚶‍♀️ Nordic walking.
🏋️ Resistance training.
🌞 Circadian health.
💊 Supplements based on my genetics.

The goal isn’t to “fix” my genes.

The goal is to stop adding fuel to the fire…🔥❌

…and finally give my fire truck genes 🚒 the chance to do what they were designed to do.

Let’s see what happens over the next three months.

I’m excited, a little nervous… but incredibly hopeful. ❤️

Who’s coming along for the journey? 🙋‍♀️🧬💙

I’ve been working on getting REAL clarity on my vision
What really lights me up.
What do I fully wholeheartedly believe in.
1. Osteopathy. Structure governs function and The Rule of the Artery is supreme.
2. Nordic walking. It really is a full body workout that ANYONE can do.
3. DNA 🧬. Your genes load the gun but your choices pull the trigger. Great to know YOUR strengths and weaknesses.
4. Progurt products align with Osteopathy. They work from inside out. Osteopathy from outside in.

What do you think of my vision. ???
If you know me is this in alignment ?
