Question 1

I know inulin, fish oil and olive oil are a potent and effective combination. But what do each of the three supplements do independent on their own?

Accepted Answer

Inulin (and Rifaximin) rebalances the gut bacteria. Excessive gut bacteria creates an overgrowth that allows fragments of bacterial cell membrane called lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to leak into the bloodstream, trigger widespread inflammation and trigger the formation of inflammatory primed-microglia within the brain.  Fish oil helps reduce inflammation throughout the body and reduces the inflammatory behavior of primed microglia. Olive oil blocks the inflammatory effect of omega-6 oils that are so prevalent in our modern diets.
