Ever wonder why some people who get exposed to colds or the flu get really ill while others experience mild symptoms or don't get sick at all? Fortunately, today's guest is here to provide answers to this mystery. An authority on the microbiome, Dr. Robynne Chutkan, is here to tell us all about the remarkable flora residing in our intestines and how feeding it the right foods can promote health, prevent disease, and even help us with our weight. Dr. Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist at Georgetown Hospital, founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness, and author of the books Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution, The Bloat Cure, and her most recent book, The Anti-Viral Gut, where she tackles the complexities of intestinal bacteria and how it relates to our immune system. She's been a featured expert on several media outlets, including The Today Show and CBS This Morning.    If you're a person interested in strengthening your immune system, or you've experienced digestive troubles, or you're just human, then this episode is definitely for you!   “For a vaginal birth, as the baby's head crowns, it turns posteriorly to face the tush, and it does that to swallow a mouthful of microbes because that area between the vaginal opening and the anus, that area we call the perineum, is full of microbes. It is one of the most microbially rich parts of the body. So, as the baby is coming out, it swallows a mouthful of the mother's microbes, and those important microbes become the founding species for the baby's microbiome. Babies that are born vaginally have that benefit. Babies that are born via C-section don't get that opportunity, and as a result, they're colonized with hospital-acquired Staphylococcus aureus.” - Dr. Robynne Chutkan   What we discuss in this episode: - What the microbiome is and how it relates to overall human health - Viruses and human DNA - The microbiome and immunity - Important tips for expecting mothers - Causes of intestinal permeability - The benefits of being in nature on the microbiome  - Tips to improve your microbiome  - The effects of stress on the gut and immunity   Resources: - Website: Dr. Robynne Chutkan - https://robynnechutkan.com/ - Books: Books by Robynne Chutkan - https://robynnechutkan.com/books/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gutbliss/?hl=en - BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough: bioptimizers.com/switch4good - http://bioptimizers.com/switch4good - Vote for the Switch4Good podcast here: https://bit.ly/s4gpodcast   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

In The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens From the Inside Out, Dr. Robynne Chutkan, founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness, faculty member at Georgetown University Hospital, and bestselling author, demonstrates how vital a healthy microbiome is in keeping us protected against viral infections and supporting a healthy immune system.

Science has proven that the majority of your immune system is located in your gut - microbes responsible for keeping a healthy gut also directly affect your immune system. These microbes:She also goes into detail about how the immune system reacts to viruses and how we can keep it healthy - from what to eat for a healthy immune system (artichokes, leeks, bananas, etc) to tips for sleep, mindfulness, the importance of nature  - and a full anti-viral gut plan with tips and recipes. The human body plays host to a vast system of a trillion bacteria that comprise the microbiome, many in our digestive tract.With 70% of our immune system located in our gut, keeping these organisms happy and healthy does more than just make us feel good - a healthy microbiome means a healthy body, and a healthy immune system.

There are multiple studies that have confirmed the incredible link between the health of our microbiome - the trillions of organisms that live in our digestive tract - and our likelihood of getting viral diseases like COVID-19. A lifestyle of low fiber diets, processed foods, little connection with nature and overuse of pharmaceuticals messes up the microbiome and makes us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally would be.There is a solution to this, though: our microbiome is constantly evolving, which means we can nurture it back to health if we are struggling and we can protect it and make it even stronger even when we are well and want to stay well.My guest today, Dr. Robynne Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist and author of the bestselling digestive health books Gutbliss: The Microbiome Solution, and The Bloat Cure.

Your gastrointestinal tract contains around three pounds of microbes - some good and some bad. When your gut is healthy, the bad bugs are kept in check, and the good bugs serve as internal workhorses for digestion and short-chain fatty acid creation, they also release GABA and other neurotransmitters, and fend off pathogens. When things are out of balance, irritable bowel, leaky gut, gas, bloating, and disease can occur. Gastrointestinal problems affect as many as one in five people, so a happy belly is something we all need to cultivate. In this episode, gastroenterologist, Robynne Chutkan, MD, shares her latest research.

Ever wonder why some people who get exposed to colds or the flu get really ill while others experience mild symptoms or don't get sick at all? Fortunately, today's guest is here to provide answers to this mystery. An authority on the “microbiome,” Dr. Robynne Chutkan is here to tell us all about the remarkable flora residing in our intestines, and how feeding it the right foods can promote health, prevent disease, and even help us with our weight. Dr. Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist at Georgetown Hospital, founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness, and author of the books Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution, The Bloat Cure, and her most recent book, The Anti-Viral Gut, where she tackles the complexities of intestinal bacteria and how it relates to our immune system.

It is one of the most microbially rich parts of the body. So as the baby is coming out, it swallows a mouthful of the mother's microbes, and those important microbes become the founding species for the baby's microbiome. Babies that are born vaginally have that benefit. Babies that are born via C-section don't get that opportunity, and as a result, they're colonized with hospital-acquired Staphylococcus aureus.” - Dr. Robynne Chutkan What we discuss in this episode: What the microbiome is and how it relates to overall human health Viruses and human DNA The microbiome and immunity Important tips for expecting mothers Causes of intestinal permeability The benefits of being in nature on the microbiome Tips to improve your microbiome The effects of stress on the gut and immunity Resources: Website: Dr. Robynne Chutkan Books: Books by Robynne Chutkan Instagram: //www.instagram.com/gutbliss/?hl=en The Plant-based Playbook IS HERE!

Multiple studies have now confirmed a dramatic link between the health of our microbiome—the trillions of bacteria that live in our digestive tract—and the strength of our immune system. Low-fiber diets, limited exposure to nature, and overzealous use of pharmaceuticals have messed up our microbiome, making many of us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally should be.

In The Anti-Viral Gut, Dr. Robynne Chutkan explains this groundbreaking research and offers a prescriptive plan for anyone trying to avoid or recover from a viral illness to rehab their gut microbes and restore their health. In this powerful road map to strengthening the gut-immune system, Dr. Chutkan gives practical advice for balancing both your internal and external environment by optimizing diet, exercise, sleep, and time outdoors to boost your host defenses and overall health.

For our first episode of the season, I'm super thrilled to announce a conversation with one of my gut heroes, the incredible gastroenterologist, Dr. Robynne Chutkan! In this episode, we cover what an integrative approach to gut health actually looks like. (Spoiler alert: it means using nutrition, movement, and stress management in addition to appropriate medications—instead of shunning one for the other.) We also talk about what you need to make good poops, Dr. Chutkan's opinion on probiotics, and the role of the microbiome in health! About Dr. Robynne Chutkan: Dr. Chutkan is an integrative gastroenterologist and the author of Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution and The Bloat Cure. Educated at Yale and Columbia, she's on faculty at Georgetown Hospital—and is the founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness and Gutbliss.com. Her expertise includes the microbiome, autoimmune diseases, and gut disorders in women. An avid (but not so flexible) yogi, runner, and squash player, she's a passionate advocate for more dirt, sweat, and vegetables. On this episode we chat about: How to take a truly integrative approach that includes nutrition, movement, and stress management for gut health. Understanding when medications are important for digestive conditions How a good poop is similar to a diamond! (yep, tune in to hear Dr. Chutkan's reasons why!) The four ‘C's of a good poop: Colour, Carat, Clarity (why seeing tiny bits of plant material in it is a good sign!), and Cut (you want the whole log in the bowl). Why “hard to digest” foods are actually a good thing. What exactly IS the microbiome—and why we're just starting to understand its impact for health. How environmental factors can impact the expression of our genes (i.e. switch good and bad genes on or off!) Why living ‘dirty' is important for your microbiome Why you don't actually want to ‘boost' your immune system Probiotics versus diet for a strong microbiome Learned something new? Have questions?

The Vidal Speaks Podcast is where you can learn about all kinds of ways to get well, why a plant-powered diet is the only diet that will reverse disease in the long run, the true causes of chronic disease, and the myths surrounding treatments. Most importantly, you will learn to take charge and heal yourself and those you love. I hope that this show will grow into a movement of people who take charge of their health! Please tune in every Wednesday and share this podcast with your friends. [3:33] In her 20-year practice, Vidal found that almost every patient who came to her, had a gut issue. [4:40] The overprescription of antibiotics has created a large population of sick people. [8:05] Dr. Chutkan transitioned into integrative medicine, after she saw lots of patients who wanted to know what lifestyle changes they should make to get better. [11:31] Many patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease use the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. [12:29] One patient's miraculous healing using diet inspired Dr. Chutkan to start finding ways to get her patients off of drugs. [14:09] Doctors want their patients to get better, but their educations have been hijacked by the pharmaceutical industry. [22:41] What is the “Velio Diet” for healing the gut? [25:47] Microbiota Accessible Carbohydrates are crucial for gut healing, and can be found in foods like leafy greens, oats and lentils. [28:47] Choose vegetables. [30:25] People are waking up to the importance of gut health. [31:38] We are more microbial than we are human. [33:04] Cleansers are contributing to disruption of the microbiome. [34:56] What is Triclosan, and why has the FDA said it must be taken out of personal care products? [35:30] Your hand sanitizer isn't doing what you intend it to do. [36:14] Eat clean and live dirty. [38:51] What is the Hygiene Hypothesis? [41:29] Healthy bacteria can crowd out a virus. [42:52] Instead of focusing on Germ Theory, focus on your body's microbial terrain. [44:07] There is no magic pill for good health. [46:08] To a very large degree, we are in control of our health.

[49:27] Your doctor isn't dangerous, but their training might be. [51:10] More physicians are becoming interested in food as medicine, often because of personal health crises. Dr. Chutkan was particularly driven by a desire to help her own daughter. [58:13] Pediatricians are much more likely to prescribe antibiotics when they feel like parents expect it. [59:13] Remember that you have the right to informed consent and refusal, and that no drugs come without side effects. [1:04:16] Dr. Chutkan's book, The Microbiome Solution, includes a recommended birth plan to help start your child's gut off right. There is even a solution for those that have to give birth via c-section. [1:05:53] Be open to educating your doctor. [1:07:05] During a colonoscopy, Dr. Chutkan and other gastroenterologists can tell a meat eater from a plant eater. [1:10:04] If you are not already a vegan, eat more plants! [1:12:32] The microbiome can change (for better or worse) very quickly. [1:13:52] Eating a good diet is far more important than taking a probiotic.     Connect with Today's Guest Gutbliss.com The Digestive Center for Wellness Dr. Chutkan on Facebook Dr. Chutkan on Twitter Dr. Chutkan on Instagram   Resources Mentioned The Microbiome Solution, by Dr. Robynne Chutkan Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure, by Caldwell B.

In the beginning of this episode, I mention "Michael Phelps cupping" and what the research really says about whether cupping does or does not work, and also mention , and that uses exactly what they used in the study (use 50% discount code BEN50). When it comes to healing your gut, getting rid of bloat and constipation, changing your gastrointestinal bacteria or any other digestive topic, I consider Dr. Robynne Chutkan to be one of the smartest women on the face of planet. She is on faculty at Georgetown University and founder of the Digestive Center for Women, and she is author of not one, not two, but three books that focus on her primary philosophy: healing your body from the inside out. So basically, she really loves talking about poop. Her latest book, , is a deep dive into how and why some of our modern day living is actually causing more problems than we realized to the tiny microbes that keep us happy and healthy– household cleaners, air conditioning, processed food. In that book, she talks about eating poop, timing your probiotics, getting a dog to lick your face, eating dirt and more. In her other book, , she looks at less of the science and more at the practical nature of our bloated bellies, talking about how bloat isn’t just bad Chinese food, but also things like codeine in cough syrup and dehydration and birth control pills and GMOs. During today's episode, you'll discover what I learned from reading both these books, and much more, including: -How Dr. Chutkan can actually "smell" gut issues with her patients...[16:25] -What it means if your sweat smells funky...[21:00] -What pig whipworms and hookworms have to do with getting a healthier gut...[24:30] -Why the Bedouin tribe eats camel feces when they have gut issues...[34:00] -Why the "poop pills" everyone seems to be talking about don't work...[52:50] -Which common musculoskeletal imbalance can cause constipation, no matter how healthy you eat...[55:56] -Why your medications and supplements may be making you constipated, and what you can do about it...[62:30] -How wine can be either good or bad for your microbiome, depending on when you drink the wine...[67:45] -The best time of day to take probiotics if you are also taking antibiotics...[69:30] -Beans cause bloat for lots of people, you'll discover one special ingredient you can add to them to keep this from happening...[72:55] -And much more...

Today on Small Changes Big Shifts I will be speaking with Dr. Robynne Chutkan. Dr. Chutkan is one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America today. She is the author of two bestselling books, Gutbliss and most recently, The Microbiome Solution. And she is the founder of the Digestive Center for Women. 

On this week's show, we are speaking with bestselling author, Dr. Robynne Chutkan. She is a leading gastroenterologist who strives to highlight the importance of nutrition, exercise, and leisure to her patients.

Microbes (in & on our bodies) outnumber us 10 to 1 As society becomes more sanitized, we're seeing more people with autoimmune diseases Our microbiome breaks down food & toxins, makes vitamins (eg. vitamin K), synthesizes hormones & neurotransmitters, and turns genes on + off The benefits of a vaginal birth over getting a c-section Formula fed babies end up with pretty serious microbial abnormalities A simple technique to colonize a baby post c-section Baby formula doesn't come close to breast milk in terms of nutrition Antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers are damaging your microbiome and making you sick A simple tactic to help prevent colds and the flu Play in the dirt, build a healthy microbiome Having pets is good for you and your children Chlorine in you water (shower & drinking) is harming your microbiome Questions to ask your doctor before taking antibiotics A number of prebiotic foods that feed your healthy gut bacteria What to look for when buying a probiotic The positive and negative sides of stool transplants Solutions to reduce gas and bloating People with depression and anxiety have abnormalities in their microbiome Don't ever take antibiotics for acne As cities grow, rates of asthma increase Related links: Sunwarrior

Today Dr. Chutkan joins the show who is a leading gastroenterologist, bestselling author who has been on the Dr. Oz show and founder of The Digestive Center for Women. Today we discuss how all disease begins in the gut, where we can get good bacteria, why medication is not always the answer and why she likes to live dirty and eat clean! Ashley often says "you are not what you eat, you are what you digest and absorb" and today we find out why!

“There is no question that the number one food to eat to grow a good gut garden is plant fiber, and there really can be no debate about that.”Robynne Chutkan, MDOur bodies are comprised of about ten trillion cells. But our microbiome — all the bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in or on our bodies – outnumber human cells by a factor of 10. Therefore, it can be said that we are far more microorganism than human.We choose to believe that we are sentient beings, responsible for our health, moods and decisions. But the crazy truth is that to a large extent, our emotional state, propensity for disease and even our specific food cravings can all be traced back to the nature of our gut ecology.Most of these microorganisms are symbiotic. Maintaining a healthy culture of the right microorganisms is fundamental to good health. But should the quality of your microbiome go awry, health havoc ensues.This week on the show we delve deep into the nuts and bolts of this fascinating and quickly evolving field of medicine with respected gastroenterologist, microbiome expert and avid marathoner Robynne Chutkan, MD ( @DrChutkan ).A graduate of Yale, Dr. Chutkan received her medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, where she also did her internship and residency and served as Chief Resident.
