Podcasts about Akkermansia

Story at-a-glance Akkermansia muciniphila is a gut microbe that thrives in your intestinal mucus layer. It's linked to improved metabolic health, but its levels decrease with age and poor diet Studies show Akkermansia helps combat obesity by reducing fat mass, improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing inflammation. It also influences glucose and lipid metabolism Akkermansia stimulates GLP-1 production naturally, similar to weight loss drugs like Ozempic. It helps manage blood sugar levels and support heart health As the "sentinel of the gut," Akkermansia strengthens the intestinal barrier, regulates immune reactions and supports beneficial bacteria growth. It's a marker for favorable metabolic profiles To boost Akkermansia levels, consume polyphenol-rich foods and high-inulin vegetables. Supplements are available but require careful dosing and timing for effectiveness

Story at-a-glance Gut health is central to overall wellness, with imbalances causing fatigue, weight gain and inflammation across multiple body systems Combining specific probiotics with plant compounds creates synergistic effects that reduce inflammation and strengthen gut barrier function Short-chain fatty acids, especially butyrate, strengthen gut lining integrity and regulate immune function, while Akkermansia muciniphila bacteria supports the protective mucus layer where butyrate-producing microbes thrive Timing matters in gut healing — first remove inflammatory foods like vegetable oils and fix the terrain before gradually introducing fiber and probiotics tailored to your specific condition Daily habits like avoiding environmental toxins, getting quality sleep and minimizing vegetable oils high in linoleic acid significantly impact microbiome balance and gut health

Webinar Learning Objectives: ✅ A functional overview of GI anatomy to set the stage for understanding gut health interventions ✅ Explore the mechanisms of action of key nutraceutical compounds that contribute to gut barrier integrity, immune system modulation, and metabolic homeostasis ✅ Evaluate current evidence on the synergistic activity of multi-ingredient formulations designed to support comprehensive gastrointestinal health✅ Understand the rationale and emerging evidence for using pasteurized Akkermansia over live strains, with emphasis on safety, stability, and therapeutic implications ✅ Learn about Tributyrin (as CoreBiome®) which is a triglyceride form of butyrate designed for targeted delivery to the colon where it's needed most (unlike pure butyrate, which is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine)✅ Identify clinical indications and patient populations that may benefit from an integrative, multifaceted approach to gastrointestinal support✅ Live Q&A—Deepen your understanding of ingredient science and clinical applications 

Can the Microbiome Replace Ozempic? Two Experts Weigh In on a Radical Theorywith Dr. Gary Pepper & Mary Gocke, RDN, CDN, CHTAre we overlooking the natural power of the gut microbiome in managing weight and metabolism?In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Gary Pepper — a seasoned endocrinologist — teams up with renowned nutritionist and functional medicine expert Mary Gocke to explore whether the body's own microbiome might one day rival pharmaceutical GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. From nutritional strategies to protect muscle and bone during weight loss, to the role of akkermansia and polyphenols in boosting natural GLP-1 production, this discussion offers a radically fresh perspective on sustainable metabolic health.Topics covered in this episode include:What GLP-1 medications like Ozempic actually do — and what they don'tWhy weight loss can lead to malnutrition, muscle loss, and even bone density declineHow the gut microbiome — especially Akkermansia muciniphila — may support natural GLP-1 productionThe critical importance of dietary fiber, polyphenols, and prebiotics in metabolic healthHow protein needs shift during rapid weight loss and how to calculate your target intakeEarly evidence for and against the long-term use of GLP-1 drugsThe promising but controversial concept of microdosing and tapering off GLP-1sSimple strategies to protect your body from the side effects of medical weight lossWhy resistant starches (like cooled potatoes and rice) might actually help your microbiomeThe silent risk of osteoporosis from poorly managed weight lossWhether you're currently on a GLP-1 medication, considering one, or exploring natural alternatives, this candid and science-based conversation will equip you with insights not found in mainstream media.

Today's topic is one that surprises a lot of people—E. coli in the gut. We often associate E. coli with food poisoning outbreaks and contaminated water, but did you know that some E. coli strains are a normal part of your gut microbiome? But not all E. coli are harmless—and an overgrowth can lead to serious gut issues, inflammation, and even contribute to autoimmune triggers. So how do you know if your E. coli levels are a problem, and what can you do about it?Join the 60 Day gut reset and transform your health! $200OFF with code 'SECRETOFFER! https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_q9s5bzn3?coupon_code=SECRETOFFERINSTA: @wholistichomeopath

Story at-a-glance Studies show people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have different gut bacteria than healthy people, with too much of certain bacteria types and not enough of the helpful ones The ratio between the bacteria Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia serves as a biomarker for MS progression, with this pattern appearing consistently across patients worldwide Normally beneficial Akkermansia bacteria can become harmful in MS when Bifidobacterium levels drop, damaging the protective mucin layer in the gut and increasing inflammation Multiple studies confirm MS patients have lower levels of beneficial bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which normally help reduce inflammation Simple dietary changes support gut health, including proper carbohydrate intake (200 to 350 grams daily), increasing fiber gradually if your gut is healthy and avoiding processed foods and vegetable oils

About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. William Davis.  William Davis, MD is cardiologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Wheat Belly series of books and, more recently, Super Gut.  Recent human clinical trials that Dr. Davis conducted have revealed that it is possible to lose (fat) weight while preserving muscle, thereby preventing weight regain and enjoying improved body composition.  Dr. Davis is also Chief Medical Officer at Realize Therapeutics Corp. which he co-founded to explore the new science of the microbiome to improve health and appearance, including body composition. Key Takeaways: What symptoms and conditions are associated with the microbiome? What is the role of viruses, fungi, and parasites in the microbiome? What are the best methods of testing the microbiome? Are food sensitivities an indication of a less than optimal microbiome? Can beneficial organisms act as psychobiotics and improve mental and emotional health? How can we support the microbiome to better manage oxalates? What is the role of glyphosate in damaging the microbiome? What are some of the key organisms to consider in creating a Super Gut? What role do prebiotics and polyphenols play in optimizing microbiome health? What is the interplay between Akkermansia and the mucin layer? How do we build a healthy mucin layer? Why might long-term NAC not benefit optimal mucin and microbiome health? What conditions does SIBO contribute to? What are some strategies for resolving SIBO and SIFO? What are the best approaches for testing for SIBO? Is H. Pylori an organism that needs to be eradicated? Do antimicrobial herbs have the potential to harm beneficial flora? Is a low FODMAPs diet addressing the root cause? How can one create "yogurts" at home to support an optimized microbiome? Are the yogurts tolerated by those with MCAS? What is the future of microbiome medicine?

Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and I'm so excited for you to hear this one. Joel Greene is today's guest, and I felt like I could have talked to him for hours.  Here's what we talk about in today's episode: - Nutritionl for metabolism and reducing inflammation - How to navigate conflicting health info - Whey and dairy and how they can actually be superfoods - How GMOs and industrial seed oils affect gut health and inflammatory fat cells and so.much.more. 169: The Immunity Code Diet and why dairy isn't the enemy with Joel Greene Joel Greene is the author of The Way: Immunity Code Diet and The Immunity Code, the very first gut-health protocol teacher, and the original biohacker that utilizes the family of insulin hormones and the immune system to create lasting health. In 2007, Joel published the very first article to the public on the microbiome and the relationship to weight loss, creating a name for himself in the wellness space. By 2009, he had created the first nutrition system based on gut health to help people lose weight and feel better, called the VEEP Nutrition System, and it was used by large cities, like Phoenix and Houston, as well as large corporations, like Technicolor and a major hospital chain. This proprietary system was also featured on Dr. Phil. By 2013, before any present day gut health gurus existed, he had over 16,000 research outcomes targeting the microbiome for health and weight. Joel's work has also been featured in several well known media outlets like Muscle and Fitness, CBS online, 24 Hour Fitness Digital Magazine, among others. In late 2019, he published The Immunity Code, widely regarded as one of the most influential health books of this decade. The book launched several biohacking practices trending in the mainstream health and biohacking narrative today, like mouth taping, targeting Akkermansia for gut health, HMO's, no warm up sprints, microdosing exercise, the use of supplements like berberine and apigenin, and many other biohacks.  Joel has been featured on top podcasts like Ben Greenfield, Mark Bell Power Project, the Minimalists and others, for his deep inquiries and unique discoveries known for optimizing health. Joel's new book, The Way: The Immunity Code Diet, introduces an entirely new framework diet to achieve real and lasting health, and finally puts an end to the dietary confusion of this age.  About The Way: The Immunity Code Book: The Way is the sequel to the influential biohacking book, The Immunity Code, highlighting a framework for a simple diet that optimizes the immune system and insulin family of hormones to achieve lasting health. The Way creates clarity around what, when, and how to eat, resulting in reduced inflammation, weight loss, and a longer life span. The diet comprises 48-hour cycles of eating that mimic natural eating plans—the first 24 hours are for foraging, and the second 24 hours are for fasting, and high protein/fats, as well as taking into account seasons, scarcity, social interaction, sleep, and balance. Joel's mission with The Way—to put an end to dietary confusion and restrictive food-exclusionist approaches, and instead re-introduce simplicity and dietary diversity.

However, our guest today sheds light on an often overlooked factor: junk light. Our modern lifestyles frequently experience diminished exposure to natural sunlight and constant exposure to blue light emitted by phones, devices, and indoor workspaces. Dr. Alexis Cowan emphasizes the importance of minimizing our exposure to junk light and maximizing sunlight for our health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Alexis Cowan to discuss the impact of junk light on our well-being and longevity. Dr. Cowan explains how exposure to junk light can alter our circadian rhythm and hormone levels, disrupting our sleep patterns and eating behaviors. Additionally, she underscores the significance of sunlight exposure for weight management, mood regulation, and daily motivation. Dr. Cowan offers practical tips to minimize blue light exposure and incorporate red light therapy for those unable to attain optimal sun exposure in their daily routines.

View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman Sign Up for Dr. Hyman's Weekly Longevity Journal One of the many reasons I was drawn to Functional Medicine is that it's the medicine of asking “why?” and looking beyond the status quo to reimagine health. When we use this practice to assess the metabolic diseases we see today, we can see we're in an energy crisis. We're wrapped up in a web of physiologic root causes, but also a web of policies, industries, and economic incentives impacting our health from the ground up. I loved discussing all this and more on this episode of the podcast with Dr. Casey Means.  We take a deep dive into: Why we need to reimagine the healthcare system and how to use Functional Medicine as a framework for asking “why?” Using metabolic health as a barometer for our challenges as a society  A stark reality: Every institution related to our health makes money off of sickness Combining advanced technology with our own awareness to take back control of our health Five affordable biomarkers of metabolic syndrome to start with  And so much more! I hope you'll tune in to learn how to dramatically improve your metabolic health and support foundational societal shifts, all at once.
