Podcast appearances and mentions of Martin J Blaser

Welcome to episode 56 of the Mind Gut Conversation Podcast, a place to learn about groundbreaking ideas from thought leaders in the area of health, food, the science of mind body interactions and the environment. Today's guest is Dr. Martin Blaser, a pioneer and global thought leader in the area of the gut microbiome, author of over 650 original scientific articles, of the best selling book, Missing Microbes, a book targeted to general audiences, now translated into 20 languages. Together with his wife Gloria Dominguez, he stars in the new, award winning documentary The Silent Extinction. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Blaser about the following: 1. Since the publication of your best selling book Missing Microbes, what has been the most important breakthrough in microbiome science? 2. The extinction of micro- and macro-organisms are being driven by different mechanisms. Why are the two trends happening roughly on the same time course?. 3. Of the many possible disease mechanisms that could be involved in microbiome changes and increased risk of chronic diseases, which ones do you think are the most important ones? 4. What is your view of the mismatch hypothesis between a microbiome rapidly adapting to environmental/dietary changes and slowly evolving changes in the human immune system, leading to a maladaptive response of the immune system leading to systemic inflammation? In other words, are microbes better in adaptation to different lifestyles and environments than our immune system? 5. Looking into the future, do you believe that humans will dramatically change their lifestyles and their interactions with the environment to prevent catastrophic consequences on our health? A scenario you have referred to as “Antibiotic Winter”. 6. Do you see enough changes worldwide in the inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics, C-section deliveries, diet, encroachment of wild habitats, etc. that suggest we will be able to dodge the bullet? 7. If there is one intervention that you think would have the biggest impact on our current situation, what would that be? Rather watch this episode?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Thrive Market, and Pendulum. The number-one reason people visit the doctor is problems with the gut. Not only do gut issues impair gut function, making life miserable, but they also are a contributing factor to many serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, and more. In this episode of my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the three biggest contributing factors to compromised gut health. We discuss the importance of looking at gut function, the top foods that typically cause gut problems, and the top substances that support healing the gut.

Have you ever been prescribed antibiotics? Have you ever wondered if it is really necessary? In this episode, we will explain to you, in a very interesting way, many of the concerns that currently exist about the use of antibiotics. To explain this topic, we decided to use the book "Missing Microbes" written by Martin J. Blaser and discuss the top five points discussed in the book and bring Heather's and Romi's expertise to further discuss and expand on each topic.

One of the most fascinating and advancing areas of science is the field of microbiome research. Our understanding of our microbiome and its role has rapidly grown over the past few decades. The evolving knowledge of our microbial system shapes how we understand our biology, health outcomes, immune function, and so much more.  The health of our microbiome is linked to a myriad of aspects of our health, including our ability to fight viruses, our weight and metabolism, and susceptibility to major illnesses like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. And while we do inherit some aspects of our microbiome, there is a lot that is within our control when it comes to determining our microbial health.  On this compilation episode, you're going to hear insights and actionable tips from various experts on microbial health. This episode contains important information on how our microbes control different aspects of our lives, which medications can damage gut health, and which foods are essential for microbial diversity. You'll learn why the microbiome is a main pillar of human health, and what you can do to positively impact the health of your microbiome. Enjoy!  In this episode you'll discover: How our understanding of the microbiome has evolved over recent decades. The importance of having a healthy diversity of microbes. How our microbes can control our mood, appetite, and more. Why changing your gut bacteria can determine your fate. How long it takes the microbiome to recover from broad-spectrum antibiotics. What the most prescribed drug in the world is, and its negative effects. The role that stomach acid plays in regulating gut bacteria.  Why it's vital to be cautious about antibiotic use. How drinking enough water aids in proper digestion. The hidden cost of chemicals in modern agriculture.  What it means to have a richness and diversity in the microbiome. Why gut health plays a critical role in preventing pandemics. What percentage of the immune system is located in the gut. The importance of recognizing bio-individuality when it comes to diet and gut health.  What the five types of microbes are that comprise our gut ecosystem.  The number one thing you can do to influence your microbiome health.  Why allergies and autoimmune diseases are linked to gut damage.  The connection between microbiome diversity and weight.  How to improve the diversity of your gut microbiome.  Specific foods you can incorporate to support your gut health. Why eating seasonally can impact your microbiome.  The benefits of eating fermented food (& how many servings you should aim for!) Why sleep and microbiome are two of the main pillars of health.  How soil depletion and nutrient depletion are intertwined. What postbiotics are.  Why diets like low-FODMAP or SCD can damage mitochondrial health. Items mentioned in this episode include: PiqueTea.com/model -- Use code MODEL at checkout for 10% off!

Every year, we learn more about the role and function of the gut microbiome. Our microbiome plays a tremendous role in our overall health including regulating our immune system, body composition, and so much more. But even with our ever-expanding understanding of the microbiome, our modern-day habits and practices are failing to support our gut health.  On this episode of The Model Health Show, our guest is Dr. Emeran Mayer.
