When you think about your genetics \u2026. what comes to mind?<\/p>\n
Probably traits passed down from your parents .. like your eye and hair color, the shape of your nose, maybe even your hot temper, and of course, the shape of your body.<\/p>\n
You have probably heard someone say something similar to this (and possibly even said it yourself) …\u201cEveryone in my family is overweight. It doesn\u2019t matter what I do, it\u2019s my genetics.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Yes, genetics can determine where you store fat, how much muscle you can pack on, how wide your hips are, and even how your body responds to certain foods. We even preach the importance of training and eating for your specific body type<\/a> because our FIXED genes can influence many aspects of who we are<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t control the genes we\u2019ve been given. But when it comes to how well you can drop body fat\u2026 the finger may need to be pointed at a second set of genes you didn\u2019t get from your parents.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The Second Genome<\/strong> It\u2019s a \u201csecond set of genes\u201d that researchers call our second genome. Unlike your inherited genes, which are more or less fixed, this second set of genes is not.<\/p>\n 57% of the cells that make YOU who YOU ARE and live in your body are not passed down by your parents.<\/p>\n THIS IS GOOD NEWS<\/strong><\/em> \u2026 we will tell you why and how you can reverse this a little further down in this article.<\/p>\n First, let\u2019s explain what this \u201csecond genome\u201d is.<\/p>\n This second set of genes is a bunch of bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses! That\u2019s right, you are mostly made up of a bunch of .. well .. bugs.<\/p>\n These microscopic organisms (called MICROBIOME<\/strong>) play a vital role in supporting the daily operation of your body.<\/p>\n You name it… your microbiome helps it function.<\/p>\n These microbes live everywhere in your body! Bacteria is the most common organism, and the vast majority takes residency in your gut.<\/p>\n A healthy adult will have about FIVE POUNDS of bacteria in their colon. Some are BENEFICIAL\u2026 others are HARMFUL!<\/p>\n If you have too much unfriendly bacteria, that is when you may start to have Here is THE GOOD NEWS …<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The organisms live in you today may not be the same as the ones that colonize next week. They are constantly changing and have been since the day you were born.<\/p>\n This means you have the ability to impact what could be holding you back from reaching your fitness goals AND feeling your best mentally and physically.<\/p>\n But this can only happen if you take a very specific and proactive approach<\/strong><\/em> to ensure you are swapping out that \u201cbad\u201d bacteria with good bacteria .. or at least maintaining a proper balance of the two.<\/p>\n You need to reach something called \u201cMicrobial Harmony.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n What Is Microbial Harmony?<\/strong> Researchers have also found that the organisms that live in people of a healthy weight are VERY DIFFERENT than those that are overweight. This strongly suggests… having a healthy balance of bacteria likely play a crucial role in our ability to lose weight.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The reason our microbiome is so individual (and continually changing) is most likely a result of our personal lifestyle practices as well as our interactions with the world around us.<\/p>\n As you see\u2026 some of these things you do have total control over\u2026 others, not so much!<\/p>\n If you are serious about wanting to get in the best shape of your life and feel even better than you look\u2026 you need to take GUT HEALTH seriously.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Action Step #1<\/strong><\/span> Action Step #2<\/strong><\/span> Action Step #3<\/strong><\/span> There are two ways you can go about this….<\/p>\n You could attempt to incorporate very specific high quality prebiotic and probiotic foods that are rich in healthy bacteria.<\/p>\n This would include consistently consuming LARGE amounts of things like\u2026<\/p>\n Most people would never be able to eat this type of variety every single day.<\/p>\n Or… you could go the much easier and better route!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Our product formulation team at Sculpt Nation studied HUNDREDS of gut-beneficial strains of bacteria and narrowed it down to 7 KEY STRAINS that you need daily to achieve Microbial Harmony.<\/p>\n These strains deliver over 3.8 BILLION colony-forming units of microbiome-boosting bacteria that will get your gut in a balanced \u201charmonized\u201d state.<\/p>\n Our researchers also discovered that this bacteria has to have a very type of specific FOOD to survive and thrive!<\/p>\n It took our team over 18 months to get this formula right, and we are FINALLY ready and eager to pass it on to you!<\/p>\n Discover how to achieve Microbial Harmony… in SECONDS!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vshred.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/AdobeStock_216416516.jpeg?resize=1170%2C741&ssl=1\")

\nThere are over 37 trillion \u201chuman\u201d cells in our bodies that contain our DNA, and the majority of these cells ARE NOT hereditary genes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vshred.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/AdobeStock_152941653.jpeg?resize=1170%2C941&ssl=1\")

\nWe all have our own \u201cMicrobiome Blueprint\u201d that is as unique as your fingerprint \u2026 nobody else has YOUR exact microbiome. Even identical twins are made up of a totally different accumulation of microbial life.<\/p>\n\n
\nSTOP being so quick to \u201cblame\u201d your genetics for every setback and issue with your health and take responsibility for what you are (or aren\u2019t) doing to contribute.
\nUnlike the genes your ancestors gave you, many of your issues could be tied to your second genome, and reversing that is somewhat in your control!<\/p>\n
\nRemove (or add) the things you have control over. Things such as .. lowering your stress levels, getting enough sleep, eliminating or reducing processed foods, and exercising regularly.<\/p>\n
\nThis step is the most important and something you have COMPLETE control over.
\nYou have to replenish your healthy bacteria. To do this, you have to feed your gut healthy bacteria.<\/p>\n\n
