Fungi are “nature's biological recycling machines,” says guest Vayu Hill-Maini, a former chef turned bioengineer. That is, they take waste and turn it into good things. Hill-Maini now melds his scientific and culinary skills to create new foods, but also medicines, faux leather, pigments and other valuable products from mushrooms and molds. He uses CRISPR gene editing technology to “domesticate” these fungi – removing off-flavors and increasing nutritional content to make new-age cheeses, burgers, salami, and more. “We call it the DBTL cycle – design, build, taste, learn,” Hill-Maini tells host Russ Altman about his creative process on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Why Your Child Reacts to Everything: Histamine Intolerance vs MCAS in KidsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're unpacking one of the more confusing and complex allergy-related pictures we see in kids — when symptoms don't follow a clear pattern, allergy testing comes back normal, but your child is still clearly reacting to something.If your child seems to react to multiple foods, heat, stress, exercise, strong smells, or seemingly random environmental triggers, this episode will help you better understand what may be going on beneath the surface. We're talking about histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and mast cell dysregulation — and why these issues are often missed or misunderstood.In this episode, we explore:What histamine intolerance actually is, and why it is about poor histamine breakdown, not just eating high histamine foodsThe difference between histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome, and mast cell dysregulation — and why symptoms can look so messy and unpredictableWhy standard allergy testing often misses these issues, even when your child is clearly reactingHow a more holistic approach focused on gut health, immune regulation, and inflammation can help calm the bigger picture

What if the bloating, mood swings, and unpredictable cycles you have been blaming on your hormones are actually your gut sending out a distress signal? The truth is that your digestive health and your hormonal balance are far more intertwined than most people realize, and addressing one without the other may be exactly why nothing has worked so far.On Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Bridget Walton, functional hormone specialist and founder of I'm Hormonal, for a candid, science-backed conversation about the connection between hormones and gut health. From estrogen metabolism and microbiome balance to stress, elimination, and the power of functional nutrition, this episode delivers the clarity and actionable guidance women navigating these challenges have been seeking.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How sluggish elimination leads to a buildup of estrogen metabolites in the body, which can directly fuel PMS symptoms, heavy periods, cramping, and mood swings.✅ Why an imbalanced gut microbiome triggers an inflammatory response that disrupts cortisol and your sex hormones, creating a cycle that is difficult to break without addressing the root cause.✅ The foundational daily habits, including eating a rainbow of fiber-rich plants, incorporating fermented foods, minimizing processed food inflammation, and proper hydration, support both digestive health and hormonal harmony.✅ How to recognize when general wellness strategies are no longer enough, and functional health testing may be the key to finally getting a personalized plan that moves the needle.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Have you ever felt terrible after just one glass of wine? Or noticed that foods you used to eat just fine are now giving you headaches, bloating, brain fog, or a racing heart? You're not imagining it and you're not just "getting older." This might be a histamine problem, and today we're getting into all of it. Histamine is one of the most missed pieces of the puzzle for so many women. The symptoms can look like inflammation, allergies, or just general mystery symptoms that nothing seems to fix. And here's the tricky part: it's not consistent. You can tolerate something one week and react the next, which makes it incredibly hard to figure out what's actually going on. In this episode I break down what histamine actually is, why your body might be struggling to process it, and the very important connection between histamine and your hormones that almost nobody is talking about. What we cover: Why aged cheese, wine, fermented foods, and even leftovers can trigger a histamine response The "histamine bucket" concept and why your symptoms seem so random The two enzymes responsible for breaking histamine down and what gets in their way Why estrogen and histamine have a feedback loop that feeds itself (fire feeding fire) How progesterone actually helps stabilize mast cells and what happens when it starts to decline The gut connection and why healing digestion matters just as much as anything else Genetic factors that can make you more sensitive to histamine than the people around you The bottom line: Avoiding wine and fermented foods might give you a little relief, but it is not the long term answer. If your hormones are off, if your gut is struggling, or if cortisol is driving the whole thing, we have to address all of it together in the right sequence. Otherwise you are just guessing. Join the Hormone Clarity Workshop I am hosting a live workshop April 14 & 15 where we go through your hormone imbalances and what your body is actually telling you. We cover all of this, including the gut and histamine connection, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and more. You'll walk away with real clarity on what's going on and where to start. It is just $17 and I will be there live to answer your questions. Grab your spot here: https://drbethwestie.com/the-hormone-clarity-workshop/

In this episode, I'm talking about what fermented foods, protein, and fiber are really doing inside the body — and why they matter so much more than most people realize. These foods do more than nourish you. They help support your gut, feed your microbes, and influence important signals tied to appetite, satisfaction, blood sugar balance, and metabolic health. I'll share why I believe the body is not broken — it's trying to communicate — and how simple meals with cultured foods, protein, and fiber can help support the body in powerful ways.

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity   For years, we've focused on the external markers of health, but I've become increasingly obsessed with the internal landscape, specifically, how the food we eat communicates with our biology. We used to view nutrition as just calories in and calories out, but we now know it's a sophisticated signaling system that dictates our hormones, our mood, and even how we age. If you've felt like you're doing "everything right" but still feel exhausted or out of balance, the missing piece isn't your effort; it's likely the lack of foundational support for your internal "Amazon jungle", your gut microbiome.   In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Amy Shah to discuss her new book, Hormone Havoc, and the simple yet profound framework she's developed to help women reclaim their vitality. We explore how moving away from restrictive diets and toward a science-backed "30-30-3" rule can stabilize your hormones, lower systemic inflammation by nearly 20%, and finally give your body the fuel it needs to thrive through perimenopause and beyond.   What we explore: - How the "30-30-3" framework simplifies nutrition for busy women by focusing on protein, fiber, and fermented foods. - Why eating 30 grams of protein in your first meal is a non-negotiable for mental focus and managing midlife cravings. - Why fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt act as a "walkie-talkie" to signal your immune system and lower inflammation. - How a daily goal of 30 grams of fiber can lower mortality by up to 10% by feeding your beneficial gut bacteria. - The critical role of the "estrobolome", gut bacteria that specifically regulate how estrogen is processed in your body. - Why modern medicine often overlooks practical nutrition training and why you must be your own advocate. - How simple "hacks" like adding chia seeds or raspberries can rapidly close your daily fiber gap. - What science says about the power of "postbiotics" found in traditional foods like sourdough bread.   About the Dr. Amy Shah: Dr. Amy Shah is a double board-certified medical doctor and nutrition expert who has taken the digital world by storm with her mission to help women feel less "effing tired". Through her clinical work and best-selling books, she bridges the gap between complex medical science and practical, everyday nutrition that fits into the busy lives of modern women.   Connect with Dr. Amy Shah: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramyshah Website: https://amymdwellness.com/   Timestamps (placeholder)   00:00 Intro 05:40 The "criminal" lack of nutrition education in traditional medical training. 07:15 Breaking down the 30-33 Framework: Protein, Fiber, and Fermented Foods. 10:42 The Internal Amazon Jungle: How gut bacteria communicate with your brain. 14:15 Secrets of Longevity: Why the world's oldest woman ate yogurt three times a day. 18:40 Understanding the Estrobolome: The gut-hormone connection you need to know. 21:05 Fiber Hacks: How raspberries and chia seeds can lower your mortality risk. 24:30 The Protein Breakfast Rule: Why 30 grams at your first meal changes your entire day. 35:15 Practical fermented food swaps for those who don't like kimchi. 46:30 Why your best years and your best work are still ahead of you.  

This episode is brought to you by Troscriptions, Timeline, Joi and Blokes. In this conversation, Dr. Tim Spector breaks down why modern life has quietly dismantled our relationship with fermented foods and how that loss may be fueling inflammation, metabolic disease, and poor mental health. Drawing from the landmark Stanford fermented foods study, he explains how just a few daily servings of fermented foods lowered inflammatory markers by 25%, outperforming fiber alone in immune impact. He outlines the hierarchy of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, why ultra-processed foods sabotage gut health, and how eating 30 diverse plants per week can measurably improve mood, energy, and microbiome diversity. From reversing type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease to redefining stool health as a vital sign, Spector argues that restoring gut diversity may be one of the most powerful levers for extending healthspan — potentially adding ten more healthy years of life. ----- 00:00 – The Fermented Foods Study That Changed Everything 03:22 – Health Trends in 2026: Fiber vs. The Protein Craze 06:04 – The 30 Plants Per Week Rule 09:40 – Gut Health and Mental Health Connection 16:27 – What Modern Life Destroyed About Fermentation 21:55 – The Stanford Fermented Foods Study 24:31 – 3 Fermented Foods to Start Today 27:29 – Live vs. Dead Microbes (Postbiotics Explained) 38:56 – Probiotics vs. Prebiotics vs. Postbiotics 48:41 – The Biggest Destroyer of Gut Health 52:48 – The New Gut Health Metric (Nature Study) 01:01:56 – What Your Stool Says About Your Health 01:09:29 – Can Gut Health Reverse Chronic Disease? 01:13:02 – The Simplest Gut Health Rule 01:13:36 – Adding 10 Healthy Years to Your Life ----- Episode resources: Try Troscriptions clinical-grade wellness troches and use checkout code EVERFORWARD for exclusive savings Save 39% on MitoPure longevity gummies with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.Timeline.com/everforward Get 50% off any diagnostic labs with code CHASE at https://www.JoiAndBlokes.com/chase Watch and subscribe on YouTube

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we're talking about why so many of us feel constantly distracted, what new research is revealing about cancer-linked ingredients in everyday foods, and why fermented foods are one of the most evidence-backed habits worth building into real life. We break down why attention feels so hard to hold onto right now, how scrolling, sleep and alcohol quietly shape focus and memory, and what the science actually shows helps us reclaim concentration without cutting technology out altogether. We also unpack major new studies linking long-term exposure to certain food preservatives with increased cancer and type 2 diabetes risk, what this says about how our food system has changed, and the realistic food swaps that matter most. We close by looking at fermented foods, why aiming to include them weekly, or ideally daily, is strongly linked to better gut health, lower inflammation and overall wellbeing, and how to do it simply.

Fermented foods are biologically active whole foods that reshape digestion and immune signaling by delivering microbes, enzymes, and microbial byproducts together, not isolated nutrients Most benefits from fermented foods come from changes in gut chemistry and microbial signaling rather than permanent colonization, which explains why you can see results even without lasting microbiome changes Different fermented foods act through different pathways, so rotating options like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and sourdough supports broader gut resilience than relying on a single "superfood" Regular fermented food intake increases gut microbiome diversity and lowers systemic inflammation, a pattern linked to reduced risk of metabolic, inflammatory, and stress-related conditions Introducing fermented foods gradually and with meals improves tolerance, nutrient absorption, and digestive comfort while rebuilding the microbial signals modern diets removed

What if one of the biggest nutrition mistakes we're making isn't what we eat, but what we're missing?Dr. Tim Spector is one of the world's leading researchers on the gut microbiome and how it shapes metabolism, immunity, and even mental wellbeing. In this conversation Tim challenges the conventional nutrition playbook, explaining why calories are a poor guide to health, why most diets backfire, and how ultra‑processed foods can disrupt hunger signals in ways that make “willpower” a losing game.A central theme in this conversation is that many of us are focused on the wrong problem. Tim argues we've been sold a story that we need more protein, when what many people are actually missing is fiber, the essential fuel our gut microbes depend on. From there, the conversation becomes refreshingly actionable, focused on diversity over restriction, whole plants that support microbial health, and why fermented foods can punch far above their weight.This episode is a grounded, science‑backed reframing of nutrition. It's less about rules and more about understanding the system inside you, then feeding it well.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Is yogurt really good for your gut…or is it secretly dessert in disguise?  In this episode, Brandy Buro MS, RD, LD shares how to choose the healthiest yogurt, what “live cultures” actually means, and other fermented foods that support gut health.

Fermented foods are fashionable – kimchi, kefir, kombucha – they're all having a moment, many thousands of years on from where they were first produced. But how much do you know about how they're made? Do you know your SCOBY from your kefir grain? In this episode, fermenting novice Ruth Alexander goes on a quest to find out more about this ancient way of preserving food; how to do it yourself, why you might want to, and what it's doing for our guts.Follow along as she experiments with making her own kefir, and talks to fermentation guru Sandor Katz about how to get started and whether there's anything that can't be fermented. Scientist Professor Gabriel Vinderola explains what's known about the microbes behind it all and how they affect our health while Kheedim Oh and his mum Myung Oh talk about how they've brought the family recipe for kimchi to a US audience via their business, Mama O's Kimchi. (Kimchi on pizza anyone?) And with the help of Adam Goldwater from UK based Loving Foods Fermented, Ruth discovers how kombucha is made, and the alien like SCOBY powering the process. Produced by Lexy O'Connor. The sound engineer was Andrew Mills.If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk.

Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Dr. Aaron Hartman MD.   Dr. Hartman is a board-certified physician whose medical career began in western medicine, where he was trained extensively in evidence-based diagnostics and clinical treatment. His background in conventional practice gave him firsthand experience working within modern healthcare systems and treating a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. That foundation continues to shape his approach, even as his work has evolved beyond the limits of standard medical models.   The turning point in Dr. Hartman's career came through his role as a father. After adopting his daughter, she was confronted with health challenges that could not be adequately explained or resolved through conventional medicine alone. Searching for answers on her behalf forced him to look beyond symptom-based treatment and question why patients, especially children, were left without clear solutions. What began as a deeply personal journey soon became a professional reckoning with the gaps he saw in traditional medical care.   Today, Dr. Hartmen practices a root-cause, whole-person approach to care through Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine. His work combines modern medical science with functional and integrative strategies, designed to identify the underlying causes of illness. He places a strong emphasis on prevention, personalized treatment, and patient education. By combining advanced diagnostics with lifestyle and nutritional insights, he helps patients achieve sustainable health outcomes. His practice reflects a growing shift in medicine towards thoughtful, individualized care.    Episode Timestamps ●        [01:04] Dr. Aaron Hartman MD ●        [05:37] Medical Pushback ●        [12:58] Household Bacteria ●        [18:59] Supplementation ●        [26:15] Raw vs Commercial Milk ●        [34:17] Fermented Foods  ●        [42:01] UnCURABLE ●        [51:10] Drive Your Own Health   Resources Mentioned ●        Dr. Aaron Hartman MD ●        Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine ●        Book: UnCURABLE by Dr. Aaron Hartman MD ●        Instagram: aaronhartmanmd   Thanks so much for tuning in.

In this eye-opening episode, Lucas sits down with gut-health specialist Guy Daniels to break down some of the biggest misconceptions in the wellness space, starting with the myth that fermented foods are a cure-all for your digestive issues. Together, they dive deep into why certain “health hacks” can actually make symptoms worse, how SIBO is misunderstood (and often mistreated), and the real mechanisms behind bloating, reflux, and sluggish digestion.Guy also reveals why bile flow is one of the most overlooked pillars of gut health, how TUDCA supports liver and intestinal function, and why focusing on root-cause physiology beats chasing trends every time. Whether you're dealing with chronic gut symptoms, navigating conflicting nutrition advice, or just wanting to optimise digestion for energy and performance, this episode will give you the clarity you've been missing.Relevant Links:Guy's Website:https://themicrobiomeexpert.com/Guy's YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheMicrobiomeExpert The Supplements Lucas Recommends Here: https://www.inb4supps.com/ Disclaimer:The information provided in this podcast episode is for entertainment purposes and is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.

Are fermented foods the missing link in our health, or just the latest wellness trend?  In this episode, Professor Tim Spector, a world-leading scientist in gut health and co-founder of ZOE, challenges what we think we know about yogurt, cheese, kombucha, and more. Tim uncovers why milk and cheese aren't the same in your body - and the surprising science showing cheese might not be the heart villain it was once made out to be. He also shares emerging evidence that fermented foods could influence inflammation, immunity, metabolism, and even mood, often in a matter of weeks. From a groundbreaking Stanford study to insights from ZOE's research on 9,000 people, this episode reveals why fermented foods are more powerful, and more misunderstood, than most of us realise. Tim breaks down the easiest ways to actually eat more fermented foods without overhauling your life. By the end, you'll be questioning what's in your fridge - and wondering if one tiny daily habit could do far more than you'd ever expect. Unwrap the truth about your food
