Podcasts about gut microbiome

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Justin Sonnenburg, PhD, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University. We discuss how microbes in our gut impact our mental and physical health and how diet and the environment affect the gut microbiome. We explain how lifestyle factors such as antibiotics and Western-style diets (high fat, low fiber and rich in processed foods) can damage gut diversity and whether prebiotics or probiotics are useful tools. Throughout the episode, we highlight evidence-based dietary and lifestyle strategies for improving gut health.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most concerning issues in pediatric healthcare: the unnecessary prescription of antibiotics to children. With 30% of antibiotics prescribed to kids being unnecessary (according to CDC research), Dr. Tony breaks down the real consequences this has on children's long-term health. He explains how antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, nervous system, and immune function, leading to increased risks of asthma, allergies, ADHD, and anxiety. Most importantly, he reveals that the majority of ear, sinus, and respiratory infections are viral—not bacterial—meaning antibiotics don't even help. Dr. Tony explores the root cause of these infections (poor nervous system function and drainage), and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care addresses the actual problem rather than masking symptoms.Key Topics & Timestamps[00:01:00] The shocking truth: 30% of antibiotics prescribed to kids are unnecessary[00:04:00] The pediatrician paradox: 85% agree on wait-and-see, but only 33% follow it[00:06:00] How antibiotics disrupt the gut-brain connection and microbiome[00:08:00] Understanding the vagus nerve: the most important nerve in the body[00:10:00] The root cause revealed: respiratory infections are really a "plumbing problem"[00:12:00] Dr. Tony's personal story: four kids, zero antibiotics, zero ear infections-- Register for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses the critical role of the gut microbiome in overall health with Professor Nicholas Talley, a gastroenterologist. They explore how factors like diet, particularly ultra-processed foods and fiber intake, significantly impact the gut microbiome and can lead to 'leaky gut.' This condition allows inflammatory particles and bacterial factors to enter the bloodstream, contributing to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and potentially Parkinson's.

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports on gut microbiome tests.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this episode, Doctor Warrick Bishop interviews Professor Nicholas Talley, a distinguished professor of medicine and gastroenterologist. Professor Talley explains the gut microbiome as the collection of trillions of organisms and their genes residing in our gut, which play a crucial role in maintaining health but can also contribute to disease. These organisms are acquired at birth and influenced by factors like diet, exercise, and medication throughout life. The gut microbiome impacts overall health by releasing chemicals that can affect bodily functions, even reaching the brain to influence appetite.

In this week's episode of Ditch The Labcoat, host Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with gastroenterologist and podcast host Dr. Neil Parikh—known from The Gut Doctor Podcast—for a fascinating journey through one of the most complex and misunderstood systems in the human body: the gut.Together, they unpack the modern obsession with “gut health,” the hype around the microbiome, and why everyone from wellness influencers to scientists seems to think the key to longevity lies somewhere between our mouth and anus. But this conversation goes far deeper than digestion—it explores how what we eat, how we live, and even how we think shapes our gut and, in turn, our overall health.Dr. Parikh blends science with relatable insights from his life as both a physician and a dad, sharing how early childhood experiences, diet, sleep, stress, and even how we talk about “tummy troubles” influence lifelong health. The discussion spans from the everyday nuisances of bloating and irritable bowel syndrome to the more serious red flags of inflammatory bowel disease—and the grey area in between that frustrates so many patients (and doctors).You'll hear about why our guts become more sensitive with age, why sugary drinks can wreak havoc on our internal ecosystem, and how something as simple as portion control—or a good night's sleep—can dramatically improve digestive wellness. Along the way, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Parikh also challenge the commercialization of gut health, questioning whether expensive probiotic supplements or social media trends actually stand up to science.If you've ever wondered what your microbiome is really doing, whether yogurt is worth the hype, or why your stomach isn't as resilient as it used to be, this episode will give you the clarity you've been craving.Time to get real about gut health and digest the science while crapping out the myth.Listen to The Gut Doctor Podcast by Dr. Neil Parikh, MD https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gut-doctor/id1605040922    Episode Timestamps 03:35 The Role of Gut Microbiome in Health09:16 The Importance of Gut Flora and Its Functions17:45 Dietary Choices and Their Impact on Gut Health21:08 Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Spectrum of Symptoms30:23 Distinguishing Between IBS and Inflammatory Bowel Disease34:44 Current Understanding of Inflammatory Bowel Disease37:09 Practical Dietary Advice for Gut HealthEpisode Takeaways1.

Your gut microbiome doesn't stay the same through perimenopause—it changes, and that shift explains why digestion suddenly becomes unpredictable, why foods you tolerated for decades now trigger bloating, and why symptoms you never had before show up out of nowhere. Gut health and hormones are not separate—they're wired together. In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with Dr. Christine Maren to reveal the gut–hormone connection almost no one is talking about. We dig into how hormone changes in midlife rewire the gut microbiome, disrupt balance, and trigger bloating, brain fog, and mood swings. But this isn't only about menopause. Your microbiome, your hormones, and your stress response form a feedback loop. Hormones shape the gut. The gut shapes hormones. Stress fuels both. Everyone lives in this cycle—though it hits hardest for women in their 40s and beyond. That's why midlife symptoms show up—or intensify—when hormones decline. And it's why you don't have to accept them as “normal.” If you're looking for hacks, keep scrolling. This conversation is about the long game—real resilience, balance, and solutions that last. Watch now to change the way you think about gut health, hormones, and midlife—and don't forget to subscribe for more episodes of Medical Disruptors. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

Master your minerals. Harmonize your hormones. Start your mineral journey here. What if the root of your child's health struggles isn't another cream, pill, or quick fix, but something much deeper?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nina Marie Rueda, a naturopath who works with children and families through a functional, integrative lens. Her own journey started during her first pregnancy, when she realized how little she'd supported her body and baby with nutrition. This pregnancy completely changed her perspective, and she went from wanting to become a university professor to birth work, nutrition training, and eventually naturopathy.We get into why minerals matter so much for kids, especially when it comes to challenges like picky eating, eczema, and sleep struggles. Dr. Nina explains how testing works, why hair analysis often gives a clearer picture than blood work for children, and what common mineral patterns she sees in practice. The conversation is raw, practical, and full of insights for parents trying to make sense of their kids' health struggles without getting lost in overwhelm.You'll Learn:How a Bradley Method class shifted Dr. Nina's path to naturopathyWhat minerals actually do in kids' bodies and why they're essentialThe link between taste buds, zinc, and picky eatingWhy hair mineral tests show the long game while blood work is a snapshotCommon mineral patterns seen in children with eczemaHow heavy metals disrupt gut microbes and fuel skin issuesThe mineral imbalances behind sleep struggles in kidsWhy parents' own mineral status affects mealtime stressThe reason some kids' multivitamins should avoid iron and copperHow minerals shape digestion, detox, and resilience in childrenTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[05:47] Why minerals are the non-negotiable foundation for children's health[07:40] Hair testing versus blood work for understanding mineral balance in kids[13:05] Why picky eating in kids often comes down to mineral imbalances and taste buds[22:46] Eczema in kids and the role of mineral imbalances and heavy metals[39:43] How mineral imbalances and heavy metals disrupt children's sleep patterns[45:22] Choosing the right multivitamins for kids and why avoiding copper and iron matters[49:10] Making supplements part of daily family routinesResources Mentioned:Minerals & Gut Health Connection for Eczema Course | WebsiteGut and Minerals Free Resource | WebsitePicky Eaters Protocol | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Nina:Nerdy Notes with Nina Marie | SubstackDr. Nina Marie | WebsiteDr. Nina Marie | InstagramFind more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok

Your gut isn't just about digestion—it's a powerful command center for your mood, immune health, and even how your brain works. In this episode, Dr. Odell discusses the gut-brain connection and explores how this two-way communication system impacts everything from stress resilience to emotional well-being. He'll uncover the fascinating science of the enteric nervous system (your “second brain”), the vagus nerve superhighway, and the trillions of microbes living inside you that produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. You'll learn how gut health influences inflammation, stress hormones, mental clarity, and mood—and what happens when the gut ecosystem falls out of balance. Most importantly, you'll discover practical, evidence-based strategies to heal from the inside out: from gut-friendly nutrition and probiotics to lifestyle practices that calm both body and mind. If you've ever wondered why bloating, brain fog, anxiety, or low mood might all be connected, this episode will give you the clarity—and the tools—to start shifting your health.
