I'm heavily plant based but eat fish, eggs/dairy, poultry and very little lean red meat. We mainly cook our own food and have minimal processed food. I did learn in the book that for the type of person I am, there were some things I needed to change/add - ie: my type of person's gut benefits from cooked apples over raw - cooked releases pectin which is very soothing and beneficial to the gut. Other things like that. I'm overall very healthy, and can't believe I let the "Marbles" go on as long as I did before seeking additional help. I did see doctors, took a Cologuard test, etc. They couldn't comprehend the "long Covid" situation and didn't know how to help without sending me down the road to explore all kinds of things I knew I didn't suddenly just get (Crohn's, IBS, etc.)
