Dr. Mark Pimentel, Executive Director of the MAST program at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, shares groundbreaking insights into the small intestinal microbiome that challenge long-held beliefs about gut bacteria. Findings from his team's REIMAGINE study reveal that the small intestine is far from sterile, as previously thought—instead, it harbors substantial bacterial communities that play a critical role in health and disease, especially in conditions such as IBS and SIBO.• E. coli and Klebsiella act as aggressive "Ferrari" bacteria that outcompete other microbes and destroy microbial diversity when overgrown inducing a "apocalyptic" disruption of the small bowel microbiome.• Lactobacillus, commonly found in many probiotics, may act as a disruptor in the small intestine and new research correlates higher small intestinal levels with obesity and unhealthy aging (more research needed)• The PLACIDE trial found probiotics didn't reduce C. diff or antibiotic-associated diarrhea but did increase bloating• Food poisoning is the only proven cause-and-effect trigger for IBS, with stress acting as a modifier rather than initiator• Combining rifaximin with NAC works 10x better for SIBO by targeting bacteria in both intestinal fluid and mucus• A new compound (CS06) shows promise for reducing methane production and relieving constipation• Three distinct gas patterns (hydrogen, methane, hydrogen sulfide) correlate with different symptom patterns and respond to targeted treatmentsThis episode was sponsored by Salix Pharmaceuticals. Resources: DDW 2025 Abstracts by the Mast Program and Dr. PimentelA Novel Microbiome Therapy, CS-06 (MTD Blocker), Reduces Methane Production in Stool CultureReal World Study of Three-Gas Breath Testing Nationwide and The Association with SymptomsLearn more about Kate and Dr. Riehl:Website: www.katescarlata.com and www.drriehl.comInstagram: @katescarlata @drriehl and @theguthealthpodcastOrder Kate and Dr. Riehl's book, Mind Your Gut: The Science-Based, Whole-body Guide to Living Well with IBS.

In episode 197 of the Thyroid Answers podcast, I discuss GLP-1 with Jeff Thurston. In this episode, we discuss: Where GLP-1 is made in the body What GLP-1 does in the body. The role of GI bacteria in GLP-1 production. The role of diet in GLP-1 production. The role of lifestyle on gut flora balance and GLP-1 production. The role of probiotics Strategies for improving gut bacteria and natural GLP-1 production And more... Jeff is the co-owner of Master Supplements and US Enzymes. He has a degree in biology and chemistry.  He began his career as a virologist under a government security clearance, working with extremely virulent pathogens. As he grew to understand the purpose of the work, he left to begin a career in sales and sales management.  While working in organic agriculture in the Central Valley of CA, he met Randy Porubcan.  Both were speakers at a meeting.  Being of similar age, similar backgrounds, college in the upper midwest, they hit it off.  That was in 1995.  Randy suggested they start a business one day.  In 2002, Randy called Jeff and asked if he was ready. He said yes, and they started their business, Master Supplements.  In September of 2019, they purchased US Enzymes adding a product line of highly efficacious enzyme supplements to their line of probiotics.  Jeff can be found at: usenzymes.com https://master-supplements.com Previous episode with Jeff Thurston: TAP 84: Introduction to Probiotics

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Martin Blaser, author of "Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics Is Fueling Our Modern Plagues." 

Is the human microbiome an endangered species? Dr. Martin Blaser, author of "Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics Is Fueling Our Modern Plagues," has also been featured in a documentary, The Invisible Extinction, that explores the dire consequences of our depleted microbiomes. Antibiotic overuse, C-sections, lack of breast-feeding, ultra-processed food, lack of exposure to nature, and chlorinated water conspire to deplete our bodies of beneficial bacteria; these imbalances in intestinal flora have profound, far-reaching effects, not just on digestive disorders, but on immunity, metabolism, and brain function. Conditions like insulin resistance, obesity, Parkinson's Disease, depression and anxiety, and many more have been linked to microbiome deficits. What lessons do stool samples from indigenous peoples offer us? There may be a transgenerational effect of microbiome depletion. Dr. Blaser has gone so far as to advocate a Microbiome Vault to preserve our bacterial heritage. Are fecal transplants and poop pills the answer? “Vaginal seeding”? What role do high-fiber diets play? Are fermented foods beneficial? What about probiotics? Dr. Blaser describes measures we need to take now to recover our microbial diversity.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Steven Wright, health engineer and co-founder of Healthy Gut.

Rewiring Your Vagus Nerve: A Functional ApproachWhile vagus nerve exercises like cold plunges and humming are popular, this episode explores a deeper functional perspective. What if underlying factors like mineral imbalances, gut issues, mold exposure, or structural misalignments are blocking your vagal function?The Mineral ConnectionYour vagus nerve functions as your body's electrical system, with minerals as crucial conductors. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis reveals important patterns:- Calcium/Magnesium Ratio: Excessive calcium dominance keeps you stuck in "fight or flight"- Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio: Ideally balanced at 2.3:1 for optimal function- Potassium Levels: Low levels signal insufficient nerve energy- Heavy Metal Burden: Toxic metals hijack nerve function by stealing mineral binding sites"Your vagus nerve is your digestive system's power cord. Mineral imbalances create short circuits!"The Gut-Vagus ConnectionYour gut contains the second largest neural system after the brain. Comprehensive stool testing can identify issues affecting vagal function:- Low microbial diversity correlates with reduced vagal tone- Deficiencies in butyrate-producers deprive the nerve of energy- Dysbiosis creates inflammation that dampens signalingThis creates a feedback loop: poor vagal tone worsens digestive function, increasing dysbiosis, further impairing vagal tone.Mold ExposureMold illness disrupts vagus nerve function through:- Direct neurotoxicity to vagal nuclei- Mitochondrial damage impairing energy production- Inflammatory cascades that dampen vagal toneMany experience treatment resistance because underlying mycotoxin burden continues suppressing function.Structural ConsiderationsThe vagus nerve can physically get "pinched" due to:- Cranial misalignments- Neck tension- Rib cage restrictions- Abdominal compressionThis explains why bodywork sometimes dramatically improves digestion when supplements haven't helped.Practical Support StrategiesWhile addressing root causes, try:1. Singing: Creates vibrations that stimulate the vagus2. Essential Oils: Applied diluted behind the ears3. Digestive Bitters: Trigger vagal firing4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Provide building blocks for nerve structureThe Holistic ApproachRather than isolated "hacks," assess your unique terrain. When we restore harmony to the entire ecosystem, vagal tone naturally improves, with benefits cascading throughout your physiology.Looking for deeper support?

In today's episode, we detail the enteric nervous system and regulation of gastrointestinal motility. We discuss factors including dysautonomia, stress, microbial overgrowth, and more, with regards to potential effects upon gastrointestinal motility. We further detail symptoms of altered GI motility. Topics:1. Introduction to Gastrointestinal Motility- Orchestrated contraction of smooth muscles that propel contents along the digestive tract.  - Roles in mixing, absorption, and preventing bacterial overgrowth.- Disruptions in motility. 2. The Enteric Nervous System (ENS) and Its Role- Myenteric and submucosal plexus.- Coordinating contractions and relaxations for effective motility. - Mucosa includes epithelium, lamina propria, and muscle.  - Submucosa houses the submucosal plexus.  - Muscularis externa. - Inner circular and outer longitudinal muscle layers with the myenteric plexus in between.   3. The Role of Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICCs)- Specialized pacemaker cells in muscular layers  - Generate slow-wave electrical activity to synchronize smooth muscle contractions  - Critical for peristalsis.- Work with neural inputs to fine-tune gut motility   4. Dysautonomia and Its Impact on Gut Motility- Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)  - Motility impacts- Microbial overgrowth, SIBO 5. Gastrointestinal Dysmotility- Neurological dysregulation - Structural abnormalities and smooth muscle dysfunction  - Hormonal imbalances - Microbial overgrowth - Autoimmunity  6. The HPA Axis- Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands  - Central to the stress response and interlinked with gut function  - The amygdala and PVN of the hypothalamus  - CRH stimulates ACTH, leading to cortisol release from adrenal glands   7. Cortisol and Gut Barrier Function- Cortisol is a glucocorticoid that modulates immune function and gut physiology  - Chronic cortisol exposure can impair tight junction (TJ) integrity  - Increases paracellular permeability and allows passage of antigens and endotoxins   8.Stress-Induced Changes in Gut Motility- Slow gastric motility - Increased colonic motility  9.

Chronic stress disrupts the gut microbiome by altering the HPA axis and increasing inflammation, leading to dysbiosis and reduced beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. In this episode, we discuss how to mitigate these effects and restore gut health through a multifaceted approach. Key Strategies: Regulate Stress & Lower Cortisol: Practices like mindful breathing and HRV training Adaptogens (Ashwagandha, Rhodiola) Morning sun exposure to stabilize cortisol Support Gut Integrity & Reduce Inflammation: L-Glutamine and colostrum for gut repair Bone broth and butyrate to heal the gut lining Rebuild Beneficial Bacteria: Probiotics: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium longum Prebiotics: Resistant starch, polyphenols, and fermented foods Support Vagus Nerve Function: Cold exposure and low-intensity exercise to balance the nervous system Improve Sleep: Supplements like Magnesium Glycinate and L-Theanine to support relaxation and reduce cortisol spikes By following these strategies, you can restore microbial balance, reduce inflammation, and enhance resilience to stress. Why Work with a FDN Practitioner? When addressing stress-induced dysbiosis, it's crucial to test, not guess. Working with a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDNP) allows you to personalize your protocol through functional lab testing. This approach eliminates the cycle of trial and error, providing precise insights into your unique health needs. A personalized, evidence-based plan can help you achieve optimal results and sustainable health outcomes.

For decades, gut health was reduced to yogurt commercials and vague promises from probiotics that barely worked. But what if we've been targeting the wrong bugs, using the wrong delivery, and ignoring the true source of chronic inflammation and accelerated aging? In this thought-provoking episode, Dave sits down with Hannah Kleinfeld, a leader in microbiome innovation, to expose why most probiotics fail—and how one company's scientifically validated approach could redefine your gut, brain, immune system, and even your metabolism. You'll learn how dysbiosis may be wrecking your brain without you knowing it, why your probiotic likely died in your stomach acid, and the secret to rebooting your microbiome after antibiotics, GLP-1 drugs, or years of toxic exposure. This isn't just about digestion—your gut controls your cravings, energy, sleep, mood, and aging trajectory. So what's the one upgrade that can actually reset your gut… for good? What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why your gut—not your brain—is making most of your decisions • How 93% of probiotics on the market fail before they reach your intestines • The “AB 10” protocol that rebuilds your gut after antibiotics or SIBO • What GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are doing to your microbiome (and how to stop it) • The shocking gut–brain–heart axis connection you've never heard of • Why inflammation, brain fog, and mood swings may start with leaky gut • Which probiotic strains are clinically proven to improve cognition and mood • What to do if you want to eat gluten again—or survive American wheat • How a fermented papaya concentrate could replace your acid reflux meds • Why optimizing your gut could extend your lifespan by 40% ***Get 20% off your next purchase by going to https://omnibioticlife.com/pages/dave-asprey/ or omnibioticlife.com/dave*** SPONSORS -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order. -Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order.

In this episode, we detail the bidirectional relationship between the HPA axis and the intestinal barrier, illustrating how HPA axis dysfunction and cortisol dysregulation can impact intestinal permeability. We further discuss how intestinal dysbiosis can contribute to HPA axis overstimulation. Lastly, we detail some of the roles of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and secretory IgA (sIgA) in this bidirectional relationship.Topics: 1. Overview of the HPA Axis and Gut Bidirectional Relationship- Chronic HPA activation, intestinal permeability, mucosalimmunity, and microbiome composition.   2. Components and Function of the HPA Axis- Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands.  - Stress signals from the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, CRH release from the hypothalamus.  - CRH stimulates ACTH release from the pituitary.- Cortisol production and release. 3. Structure of the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier- The gut barrier consists of the intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, and lamina propria.  - Specialized epithelial cells: goblet cells, enterocytes, enteroendocrine cells, and more.- The lamina propria contains immune cells, blood vessels, and lymphatics, supported by a smooth muscle layer.   4. Intestinal Permeability and Tight Junction Regulation- Transport across the intestinal epithelium: transcellular and paracellular pathways.  - Nutrient absorption and selective permeability.  - Tight junction proteins, such as occludin and claudins.   5. Cortisol's Impact on Gut Barrier Integrity- Cortisol can cross the intestinal microvascular endothelium and enter the lamina propria. - Chronic cortisol exposure and intestinal barrier function.- Increased permeability allows luminal antigens and bacterial endotoxins (e.g., LPS) to infiltrate the lamina propria.   6. Secretory IgA (sIgA) and Gut Immune Function  - Chronic cortisol exposure can reduce sIgA levels, weakening mucosal immunity.  - sIgA neutralizes pathogens, prevents microbial adhesion, and more.  - Lower sIgA levels increase susceptibility to dysbiosis and infections.   7. CRH and Its Role in Intestinal Permeability- CRH is produced in the hypothalamus and also peripherally.- CRH can stimulate mast cells, triggering histamine and inflammatory mediator release.  - Mast cell activation can increase gut permeability. 8. Microbiome's Influence on HPA Axis Regulation- Dysbiosis can disrupt HPA axis function.- IBS and sustained HPA activation.- Dysbiosis reduces SCFA production.  - SCFAs, particularly butyrate, support colonocyte health, tight junction integrity, and anti-inflammatory pathways.  - Inflammation and HPA axis dysfunction. 9. Root Cause Approach & Closing- Chronic cortisol exposure, CRH signaling, and gut barrier dysfunction.  - The microbiome influences stress response and HPA axis activity.  - Roles of SCFAs, sIgA, and tight junction proteins.- Addressing gut dysbiosis and GI-derived inflammation can support HPA axis regulation.  - Root cause approach.Thank you to our episode sponsors:1.

In this episode, we go through the role of histamine within the gastrointestinal tract, exploring its regulation of gastric acid secretion and impact on intestinal motility. We examine how histamine-producing enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells, mast cells, and gut microbiota contribute to histaminergic signaling, and how enzymatic degradation via diamine oxidase (DAO) maintains homeostasis. Additionally, we discuss histamine intolerance, highlighting the impacts of dysbiosis (as well as SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and intestinal barrier dysfunction on DAO insufficiency and histamine accumulation. Topics: 1. Introduction to Histamine & the Gastrointestinal Tract Role in digestion and motility Impact of intestinal conditions such as SIBO 2. Histamine as a Biogenic Amine Definition and classification L-histidine and histidine decarboxylase (HDC) Presence in various tissues, including the GI tract 3. Sources of Histamine in the Gut Enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the stomach Mast cells in the lamina propria Histamine-producing gut bacteria 4. Histamine's Role in Digestion & Gastric Acid Secretion Interaction with parietal cells in the stomach Activation of proton pumps via H₂ receptor binding Maintenance of acidic pH for digestion Importance of proper pH within the stomach for protecting against pathogenic microbes Impact on downstream gut microbiota balance (e.g., SIBO) 5. Histamine & Intestinal Motility Modulation of gut motility via H₁ and H₃ receptors H₁ receptor activation leading to contractions (diarrhea, cramping) H₃ receptor-mediated inhibition of neurotransmitter release (bloating, slow motility) 6. Histamine Intolerance: Definition & Mechanisms Diamine Oxidase and histamine breakdown DAO secretion by enterocytes (intestinal epithelial cells) Enzymatic breakdown of histamine before absorption 7. Factors That Can Affect DAO Activity Genetic Polymorphisms: AOC1 gene, reduced DAO expression Cofactor Deficiencies: Copper, vitamin B6, and vitamin C as essential DAO cofactors Importance of intestinal lining integrity for DAO production Conditions leading to or associated with enterocyte damage Intestinal dysbiosis and histamine accumulation Intestinal dysbiosis & epithelial/enterocyte damage Suppression of DAO production due to epithelial dysfunction Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) & Histamine 8.

In today's minisode, let's explore the complexities of dysbiosis, commonly known as leaky gut, wit me as I explain how this condition can lead to systemic inflammation and a range of symptoms, from shoulder pain and eczema to fibromyalgia.  Discover how the immune system reacts to substances escaping from the gut and the potential for autoimmune responses. Learn why addressing gut health could be key to managing these widespread issues. This episode delves into the critical connection between gut health and overall well-being. Key Takeaways: Dysbiosis, also known as leaky gut, occurs when the gut membrane becomes compromised, allowing harmful substances to escape and trigger inflammation. The immune system reacts to these escaped substances, often resulting in widespread inflammation and autoimmune responses. Conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis can be linked to gut health, highlighting the importance of addressing dysbiosis. Systemic inflammation due to leaky gut can manifest as shoulder pain, headaches, eczema, and brain fog. Improving gut health may lead to a reduction in autoimmune symptoms and overall systemic inflammation.

This episode explores three top topics from episodes in 2024: the mucus layer's protective role in maintaining gut barrier integrity, the bidirectional relationship between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the importance of methylation and the MTHFR gene. During the first topic of discussion, we detail ways to support the intestinal mucus layer; as we approach the third topic of discussion, we highlight the impact of MTHFR enzyme activity on methylation, emphasizing its importance for many cellular processes. Topics: 1. Introduction: 3 Top Topics of 2024 2. The Protective Mucus Layer Over the Intestinal Epithelial Lining The intestinal barrier: intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, lamina propria, and more. The mucus layer functions as both a physical and biochemical barrier. Goblet cells secrete mucins, which form the gel-like mucus layer, critical for maintaining barrier integrity. Dysregulation of mucus turnover can lead to increased intestinal permeability and inflammation. Supporting mucus levels: SCFAs, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). Plant-derived mucilage and sources. 3. HPA Axis and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Interactions The HPA axis and the stress response. Microbiota-gut-brain axis. SCFAs produced by gut bacteria can influence gut barrier integrity and stress resilience. Dysbiosis disrupts SCFA production, weakens the gut barrier, and triggers inflammation. Dysbiosis and HPA axis dysregulation. Chronic cortisol secretion and secretory IgA. 4. The MTHFR Gene and Methylation Methylation involves transferring methyl groups. The synthesis of SAMe, the universal methyl donor: methionine and ATP with active folate (L-methylfolate) as a precursor. MTHFR gene polymorphisms reduce enzyme efficiency, impairing methylation and affecting DNA stability, neurotransmitter synthesis, and detoxification. Strategies, supplements, and more to support methylation. Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.
