In today's episode we're going to be talking about the gut microbiome. Why it's important, how to know what's going on with your microbiome and how to optimize it. The microbiome consists of microbes that are both helpful and potentially harmful for us and our bodies. Most of these organisms are symbiotic, meaning they and us benefit at the same time, but some are pathogenic, which are those that cause trouble, produce toxins, and increase inflammation. When we are healthy, both symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms coexist without problems in a perfect balance and without causing us to get sick. The problem comes when this perfect balance is disrupted, causing our metabolic and immune function to be negatively affected. That's why it is so important to identify and to get your microbiome back on track. Today we will focus mainly on the gut biome, although it is now well known that it is important to have a healthy balance of microbes in all different areas of our bodies, including the skin and vagina. They all relate back to the gut, so let's focus there. What Is the Gut Microbiome? I'm thinking that a lot of you probably have heard about the gut microbiome, also known as the biome or the gut microbiota. Essentially, it's referring to the microorganisms that are living in our digestive tract. This group of microbes living inside of us fluctuate on a daily, weekly and monthly basis based on our diet, physical activity, medications we take, toxins exposure and stress exposure. The important thing here is to try to have a healthy balance of this microbes as much as possible. When there's a healthy balance, the good bacteria counterbalance the potentially harmful bacteria. When our microbiome gets out of balance, it's either that there are not enough good bacteria, or too much of the potentially harmful bacteria. And that's when health issues start. Research is showing that if the gut microbiome gets out of balance, it can increase the risk of many health issues including infections (bacterial, yeast, and viral), autoimmunity conditions, metabolic disorders, even weight gain, anxiety, depression, menstrual irregularities, PCOS, endometriosis, fertility issues, osteoporosis, kidney diseases, heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. Having a healthy balance of microbes in the gut is essential for our health. What Is This Gut Microbiome Doing for Us? As you might suspect from the various health issues that I just mentioned, the microbiome communicates and supports our immune system and help protect us from infections and autoimmunity (which is when our immune system gets confused and starts trying to protect us from our own self) so, by having a good balance of microbes in your gut, you're helping your immune system stay on track and protect you. These microbes also communicate with our nervous system via the Vagus nerve and other mechanisms. These guys are sending messages to our brain and our nervous system, they're communicating about what's happening down in our gut, they can cause us to crave some kinds of foods in order to feed them. They can affect our mood, our memory and our focus. They also make certain nutrients like B vitamins (including activating B12), vitamin K and short chain fatty acids (which are protective to the colon). Furthermore, they participate in making neurotransmitters such as GABA and can influence the production of serotonin and dopamine in our nervous system. What we're learning from research is that they help us recover from stress and toxin exposure! As you know I specialize in how humans are affected by stress and what we can do to recover from stress, and so I would say that optimizing the microbiome has a huge impact on our stress recovery. How Do We Maintain a Healthy Microbiome? So, we now know they're important, but how do we take care of them? It's like having a pet, you must know how to feed them and how to take care of them so that they can be healthy. What we eat is what feeds our gut bacteria. Of course, they're living in our gut so what we swallow is going to influence them and what's going to feed them potentially. Our gut bacteria can ferment foods what we as humans are unable to digest, like fiber or complex starches for example. They can ferment fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds. Foods and fibers that feed our microbiome are called “prebiotics.” Fructooligosaccharides in garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, kale, dandelion, as well as bananas, contain the highest amount of prebiotics, or super food, for our gut bacteria. It's important to know that it's possible to over feed your gut bacteria! In fact, I would say that it is much more likely to overfeed your bacteria than to underfeed them. I see a higher percentage of patients with overgrowing bacteria rather than with too few bacteria. Going back to the pet analogy, we have to know how to feed our gut bacteria correctly. Symptoms of overfeeding your gut bacteria include bloating, gas, cramping, bowel changes, weight gain, and burping. Consuming prebiotics in excess or eating too much fermented foods (yoghurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kombucha, etc.) can cause overgrowth. We want that optimal amount and balance of good and bad gut bacteria, so just be aware and cautious and listen to your body. If you are consuming a lot of prebiotics, high fiber foods, fermented foods and you start to feel bloated or have bowel changes or gas, or even if you have infections (sinus, bladder, vaginal) or joint pain, inflammation, headaches, skin rashes, these are all symptoms that you may be overfeeding your gut bacteria. How Can You Know if You're Overfeeding Your Gut Microbiome? What you can do is a stool analysis. For many years we have had stool cultures. The culture is when you send in a stool sample into the lab and they allow it to grow over several days. The problem with cultures is that some bacteria are anaerobic, so they don't grow in a lab environment. Then, about a decade ago, they came out with a DNA analysis of the gut bacteria. This is DNA sequencing so no matter whether the bacteria are alive or not, they can identify them based on their DNA. This is a much more accurate way of knowing which bacteria are thriving, or overgrowing, in your microbiome. There are now consumer versions of these stool tests that you can order online and send in your stool sample. They may make suggestions in terms of how to change your diet to feed the bacteria that are too low, and not overfeed those that are too high. It's important to consider that, while making certain diet changes can help, I have not found that decreasing or increasing specific foods is an effective solution to adjust your microbiome (and I have tried it with hundreds of patients). That is because many of the same foods that feed the good bacteria, also feed the bad bacteria. It doesn't work to manipulate your diet, in terms of eating specific fruits or seeds, in order to make minor adjustments in your biome. A much better approach is to choose a variety of foods in your diet. If you're eating the exact same foods every day, it is more likely to cause an overgrown of bacteria (or yeast). In that case, increasing the variety in your diet and eating other kinds of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds each day, or alternating through the week, will help to improve the diversity of bacteria because you'll be feeding a greater number of types overall. When it comes to our gut microbiome, we want diversity. There are over 1,000 bacterial species that have been identified with about 160 species being found living in the gut of any individual so we don't want to just feed certain ones. Now, if your gut microbiome is really needing more help and you have symptoms of overgrowing bacteria, or a health issue related to the gut biome, then some additional steps need to be taken. There is a clinical stool panel called the GI MAP that I find has helped so many of my patients by showing exactly which bacteria, yeast, protozoa and/or parasites are present, so we can tailor a specific protocol to address them. I can order this test through my office for you and then we can see who's living there in your gut. It will also tell us if there is inflammation (calprotectin) or antigliadin antibodies, and how well are you digesting your food. We can see quite a lot about your digestive system in this type of clinical stool panel, and from there I can get way more specific and design a strategy for you so we can get your biome back on track. What Can We Do to Rebalance Our Gut Bacteria? When we're constantly under stress, we don't digest our food well, and this will cause an imbalance in the gut bacteria, let alone many potential health issues. If our food is not digested well, we're not going to be able to absorb the nutrients, so it's not going to feed us, and instead it's going to overfeed the bacteria and other microbes. So, how do we support our digestion? Well, we can start by taking the time to slow down and consciously eat. Take your time and sit down, breathe, chew well, etc. This way you are sending signals to your Vagus nerve communicating that it's time to make enzymes and digest. You can also take pancreatic enzymes if needed to help you digest food while your system is healing. This is something that will show on the stool panel. Also, if you're not making enough bile, we can support bile production for fat digestion. If you're not making enough stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) we can add that to help with protein digestion. We can support the digestion of your food in many different ways, including herbs that stimulate digestion or even just eating plants that are bitter (like arugula), which help with digestion. If there's overgrowing pathogenic bacteria, referred to as “dysbiosis,” I would guide you through a protocol of using antimicrobial herbs that are effective at addressing the bacteria that are overgrowing, without wiping out all your good bacteria. That's a very specific protocol that I developed and tested over the years and one that works for the majority of patients. In addition to antimicrobial herbs, I also recommend using probiotics that contain the bacillus species (such as Megaspore), which I consider to be the traffic directors of the microbiome. These bacteria are able to rebalance your gut biome by supporting the good guys and telling the overgrowing or pathogenic bacteria that they need to go. Once we get the balance back then we can shift our strategy to maintaining the balance by eating a healthy, balanced, and diverse diet, along with potentially using a maintenance probiotic, which is going to contain lactobacillus and bifidobacterium in the range of 25 to 50 billion per day. It's important to consider that when trying to rebalance your gut microbiome, it's better to do it slowly. An aggressive change can cause the pathogenic bacteria to release toxins as a defense mechanism, and this can make you feel worse. Starting with very low doses of bacillus and antimicrobial herbs and listening to your body in the process is key to a good outcome. It's also important to think about the environment. If there's leaky gut, unhealthy cells, and inflammation, then the good bacteria will not thrive, so we need to be paying attention to making it a happy, healthy environment for the healthy bacteria and microbes to live in. What Are the Causes of a Disruption in the Microbiome? One of the main causes of dysbiosis, and one that I have been helping a lot of patients with through the years, is leaky gut. With leaky gut, the foods we eat “leak” through the intestinal lining because the intestinal cells have become damaged and there is more space between the cells. When undigested food leaks through the intestinal lining, the immune system responds in an effort to protect us, which leads to inflammation that can spread throughout the body. At the same time, the intestinal cells are not able to absorb nutrients from the foods we eat and, of course, our microbiome is disrupted. A poor diet, overconsumption of alcohol, smoking, stress and exposure to environmental toxins are all factors in developing leaky gut. The best protection is a healthful diet high in natural fiber and low in added sugars and processed foods. Another cause of dysbiosis is taking some types of medications like antibiotics, antacid medications, such as proton pump inhibitors, and many other medications. These meds will kill both good and bad bacteria, so we need to counteract this effect by taking the right probiotics. This is also why it is important to avoid the use of medications whenever possible. Stress is a major factor in the disruption of our microbiome. Stress includes psycho-emotional stress, trauma, as well as physical stressed and injuries. If you know you've been under stress, you're going to want to be proactive to help your microbiome to recover. We also know that gluten (in wheat, rye, barley, and spelt) disrupts the bacteria and decreases the levels of various kinds of healthy bacteria. If you're consuming gluten, and even if you don't have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, there's a chance you're disrupting your gut bacteria. Also sugar, refined carbs, processed foods, non-organic foods, a low-fiber diet, pesticides, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors and colors added to foods, all cause gut biome disruption. Exposure to toxins, such as toxins in our environment, our food, water, air, and exposure to mold toxins (such as if you're living in a water damaged building), all affect our digestion and they affect our microbiome. When it comes down to it, our gut biome is potentially being disrupted every day. It's by raising our awareness, and being mindful about what we eat, and how we recover from stress, that we are able to keep our gut microbiome optimized. What Are Some Products Out There That Can Help Rebalance the Microbiome? There is another new stool panel that not only tells us about the balance of bacteria in your biome, but then also offer custom probiotic formulations based on your results. So if you're low in certain strains of bacteria, then that's what they're going to put in your individualized probiotics. That company is called Flore and I can help you with that through my office if you're interested in trying that out as a way to re-optimize your gut biome. There's recent research that's identifying individual strains of bacteria and how they specifically help us with our health. I think we're going to see more and more products, such as supplements or beverage products, that contain these specific bacteria based on research that shows how they're potentially beneficial for our health. For example, there's one type of bacteria called Bifidobacterium 1741, which is considered a “psychobiotic” because it's been shown in research to help with stress recovery, specifically to bring cortisol down. So, in terms of the Stress Types I identified, this would be especially helpful for a Stress Magnet, or Night Owl, or Sluggish and Stressed type, who have elevated cortisol levels. If you want to find out your Stress Type, you can do my free online Stress Type Quiz here. Bifidobacterium 1741 has also been shown to help with mental health in terms of cognition, focus and memory. This type of bacteria can be found in products like Zenbiome - Zenbiome Cope and Zenbiome Sleep. There's also Bifidobacterium 35642 which has been shown to modulate inflammation. This would be especially helpful for someone who is experiencing a lot of inflammation and pain. Zenbiome Dual contains both Bifidobacterium 1741 and 35642. https://doctordoni.com/product/zenbiome-dual-60-capsules/ There's also quite a lot of research on the bacteria related to the vaginal biome and how it is completely related to the health of the gut biome. This is so important because if you're having vaginal symptoms or recurrent vaginal infections, like yeast, BV, or HPV, we know it is important that we heal your gut biome in order to help heal the vaginal biome and prevent those infections from happening. If you want to learn more about the vaginal biome related to the gut biome you can watch Episode #168 of How Humans Heal here. If you're interested in a probiotic that is specifically formulated to support a healthy vulvovaginal microbiota you can find one here. And another here. https://doctordoni.com/product/ortho-biotic-womens-30-capsules/ More examples of specific oral probiotics to benefit areas of the body and for certain purposes are: * Bifidobacterium HU36 - shown to help with carotenoid and the skin. https://doctordoni.com/product/sereneskin-30-capsules/ * Lactobacillus rhamnosus DR7, which has been shown especially to be helpful for mood and stress recovery or bacteria that has been shown to help with our neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. *Bifidobacterium BPL1 which has been shown to help with weight gain around the waist. One more approach that is being used, especially in cases where there is the need to control an infection called Clostridium difficile, or C. diff (which is a pathogenic bacteria that a lot of times is hard to treat and get rid of) is something called a “fecal transplant.” A fecal transplant is a procedure to collect feces from a healthy donor and introduce them into a patient's gastrointestinal tract. Research shows that a fecal transplant can restore healthy bacteria in the lower intestine, which can help control C. diff and keep it from coming back. In some cases this can be more effective than antibiotics for keeping C. diff in check. Still, even after using a specific probiotic, or having a fecal transplant, we will need to come back to rebalancing and maintaining the overall population and diversity of bacteria based on what we eat and supporting healthy digestion. How to Integrate Microbiome Optimization into Your Overall Health Plan? No matter what, I think it's important to keep in mind that we need to take into account all of the root causes of our health issues. Yes, we can take a bacteria-containing supplement, and we can learn to consume an optimal amount of prebiotics to feed our biome, and all that can help, but we also need to work on our recovery from stress and anything else that was thrown out of balance by stress. We need to ensure optimal cortisol levels because cortisol determines the signals to our digestion. We need to optimize hormone levels such as insulin and blood sugar levels, thyroid, as well as leptin and the sex hormones. We need to address nutrient deficiencies and toxins. We have to address all the underlying causes to really shift the imbalances permanently and achieve our best health and resilience to stress going forward. If you really want to heal there needs to be a whole protocol put into action for your specific body. This is why I encourage you to refer to my overall stress recovery protocol because I'm addressing all the potential imbalances, not just the microbiome. Yes, the microbiome is hugely important, but we have to also think about all the other potential imbalances along with it because then everything can help maintain resilience together. So, as you can see, there are many solutions - many ways to help you rebalance your microbiome. I've worked with some of the most challenging and complex cases - people who were put on the most strict diets and worked with many other practitioners - and I've helped guide them back out of it to heal their digestion, optimize their biome and help them feel better. That's where I get my confidence to say it's possible to get your microbiome back on track again.

Acne for Pre-Teen Boy, Imodium - Brain Related Issues, Water Consumption Goal, Protein Preferred Metabolism, Salt and Diarrhea Make your health an act of rebellion. Join The Healthy Rebellion Please Subscribe and Review: Apple Podcasts | RSS Submit your questions for the podcast here Show Notes: News topic du jour: Beyond Meat turns children’s food educator In partnership with digital education innovator Everfi, the platform will be launched in October 2020, aimed at teachers and 10–14-year-old pupils in the US. The course will cover topics such as finite natural resources, the importance of biodiversity and the effects of climate change, alongside the necessity to minimise personal carbon footprints. 1. Acne for Pre-Teen Boy [14:28] Heather says: Hi Robb & Nicki, Thanks so much for your podcast. I've been a follower for years. My son has eaten a mostly primal diet (he drinks organic milk and eats organic cheese & butter) since he was in preschool, but I do allow him to cheat once a week on school pizza or at birthday parties. (He's the only one in our family that does not show a sensitivity to gluten). However, he is twelve, going on thirteen and he is beginning to show acne, which of course is natural at this age. My husband suffered from bad acne during his teenage years and believes that anti-bacterial soap is the best solution. But that goes against every cell in my body. I see this as a hormone issue and wonder if you know of a better solution (doesn't antibacterial soap kill our good bacteria, too?). I did mention to my son that he might think about giving up the dairy (even though its organic), but he did not like that idea. Do you have any other solutions that could make my son happy (and possibly keep my marriage together? ;-) ) Thanks for any insights! Heather 2. Imodium - Brain Related Issues [21:51] John says: Hi Robb! I've heard you mention that using immodium has helped you with your BMs. I've always been a person on the "loose" side of things. I've experimented with 2mg of immodium in the morning and 2mg in the evening. This has been a game changer for me. There's less "urge" to go, and more consistent and satisfying poops. I also feel like I'm absorbing my nutrients and have put on muscle mass as a results. I also take Microbiome Labs' MegaSpore and MegaMucosa... They're incredible supplements for gut health. But even then, nothing has worked like immodium for slowing transit time in the gut. I've heard that immodium acts similarly to an opiate, but in the intestines. Is there a danger with long term use? From what I know, opiates can have negative effects on the brain, mood, depression, etc. I'm wondering if you have any insight into this topic? P.S. It was awesome to meet you at Paleo FX. You're one of my heroes and The Paleo Solution changed my life. 3. Water Consumption Goal? [27:59] Stephanie says: Hi Robb! I listened to your podcast with Dr. Ruscio and you mentioned that we are told to drink too much water and that there is no data that actually supports drinking half your weight on ounces of water. What is sufficient for hydration? I do drink coffee in the mornings so I'm not sure if that changes anything. 4. Protein Preferred Metabolism [35:06] Jeff says: Robb, Assuming a metabolically healthy individual, is it possible for someone to have a metabolism that runs best on a very high protein and very low fat and very low carbohydrate diet? I'm talking 2 to 3 times body weight in grams of protein and near PSMF levels of carbs and fats. My 30 second life story if it helps. I weighed 300 pounds as a teenager, lost 60 of those pounds through unhealthy pursuits in Slimfast and vegan land, and continued to lose another 75 pounds over the past ten years through various forms of Paleo/Primal/ancestral approved protocols. I've done every variation of macronutrient setup one can concoct, but always feel my best when consuming obscene amounts of lean protein only. Is this nutritional preference viable and metabolically sustainable? Did I break myself so badly as a teenager that this is the only remaining option? Am I morally obliged to offset my sins as a roughage humping vegan from decades past? I'm aware of the possible pitfalls this type of diet presents, but can't seem to sustain other protocols that support my Look/Feel/Perform objectives. Speaking of which, mine are: -Look: lean and muscular -Feel: steady physical and mental energy -Perform: build muscle and be awesome Thank you so much for your wisdom. You have and continue to be such an impactful influence in my life. Keep up the good fight! -Jeff PS - Sacred Cow is a triumph! 5. Salt and Diarrhea [41:48] Shaun says: I have been Keto for 3 years and strict carnivore now for 18 months. As of today I am 40KG lighter than I was at the start of this journey. After lots of experimenting I have found that my tolerance for salt is much less than it use to be. In short, if I don't get enough salt (~6-9g a day, although I have gone as high as 12g) I feel lethargic, light headed etc - the general malaise you get with low sodium. However, more recently I have found even 6gs of salt will cause a flushing effect and give me fairly instant diarrhoea. Titrating my salt intake down stops the diarrhoea but I seem to be constantly walking this tight rope between Orthostatic hypotension and disaster pants when I get a bit too friendly with the salt shaker. Do you think this lower tolerance could be my body trying regulate the balance of sodium and potassium or something else? do you have any tips on managing salt intake and mitigating the flushing effect? I.e. would it be better to space the sodium intake out rather than larger boluses? is it better to take salt with water or without water? etc. for background I have found as I have got leaner and leaner I require much more fat for satiety and currently hit 1.6g/kg of protein and fill up the rest of my calories with lots of animal fat. I also eat a tonne of liver, kidney and heart. Since March I have been doing a summer cut so I am currently in a fairly deep calorie deficit which could be a confounder. currently 65kg ~10% BF (Ketogains calculator puts me at 8%). Thanks for your time and all your efforts. Btw I loved the sacred cow book! Kind Regards Shaun Sponsor: This episode of The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by White Oak Pastures.

All right everybody It is now time for the gut check project. Let's talk about some of our sponsors for today's show, Episode Number 31. Of course, we're going to start it off with Atrantil you can get your own Atrantil at lovemytummy.com/KBMD chock full of nature's best defense against IBS and bloating polyphenols. Dr. Brown, what do you want to add to that? One of the things is that we know that the future of protecting our microbiome and if you listen to this podcast, you will realize that we're it's all about health span. It's all about protecting your health. And the microbiome is the most important thing that you can actually augment Atrantil augments the microbiome. If you happen to be somebody that has IBS and bloating well we fix that also. So in other words, if you have issues take Atrantil. If you want to protect your health span take Atrantil.So Atrantil, not only for your gut health protect your lifespan lovemytummy.com/KBMD, lovemytummy.com/KBMD. Don't get it from, Amazon. Get it directly from the Atrantil manufacturers themselves. You know what, because you need to just get on with this, I'm going to correct you on this. You said lifespan, I said healthspan. Two different things. I want you to be healthy. That's the bottom line. Doesn't matter how long we live. If you end up with Dementia, Alzheimer's Parkinson's, and things like that healthspan, my brother.That's why we get Dr. Brown on the show and not just me. So lovemytummy.com/KBMD. Now talking about KBMD, we also have another sponsorship, KBMD CBD. KBMD CBD is all organic CO2 extracted and has been used clinically where we gotten results correct?Correct Absolutely. So one of the things is everybodyis talking about CBD, CBD these days, but getting the proper CBD is the key here. If you cannot get direct access to a Certificate of Analysis, you're starting off on the wrong foot. All KBMD CBD lot number to lot number. Every single run, has an associated Certificate of Analysis so that you know that inside that bottle is exactly what appears on the label. And everything that we've ever or the Dr. Brown has ever found as a benefit from CBD has been tested in his own GI clinic and not just with himself with many of his own colleagues. So KBMD CBD, you can get your own at KBMDhealth.com. And you can also find the Dr. Brown signature protection package, which includes CBD and Atrantil. Now why would someone want to do that?That is great question Eric. And the reason why is because when we've been talking to scientists, we realize that when you take Atrantil with CBD, it actually augments your own endocannabinoid production. Meaning, you explain that please.Well, if you enhance your own endocannabinoid production, what you're going to do is give your body all of the elements that it needs to balance your immune system along with your nervous system. And by having that type of balance, you begin to decrease the, the negative effects of over inflammation. Or you could find out that you could sleep a little bit better that you just don't say have the same aches and pains. Essentially, there's a great reason that we're discovering that CBD is essential as a micro-nutrient that we could consume every single day. I'm so proud of you. Thank you. You've learned so much. I've learned so much.Go to KBMDhealth.com, use code GCP save 20% on anything that you wish to purchase.So ultimately, what happens is that the polyphenols Atrantil actually decrease the enzyme that breaks down your own endocannabinoids and that's how come I started getting into the science of this and I realized that every time everybody takes the KBMD CBD with Atrantil they do better. It augments, it meaning, they work together. 20%? That's on top of the discounts that already come in the...Sounds like i'm going to lose money on that. What's important, is that everybody can rest assured you will not have money as a barrier to entry for your health.You know, that's exactly it. I don't even care about that. So we're gonna lose a little money on this, but you guys get healthy. I'm on it, my kids are on it, my staff is on it, you're on it, your kids are on it, everybody's on it. Everytime you get in front of somebody. Our job with the gut check project is to promote health.100% And this is one way to do it. Speaking of promoting health, we have our first external sponsor that we'd like to go ahead and talk about that is going to be somebody who made it a an appearance on episode number 30. The Unrefined Bakery so unrefinedbakery.com, unrefinedbakery.com. You can use, code gutcheck to save 20% off your very first purchase. And it doesn't matter where you live, even though they are based in the DFW Texas Metroplex, anywhere you live, they can ship to you. Gluten-free, paleo, keto compliant, whatever you're after in your special diet. That's what they specialize in. Low sugar, breads, cupcakes, mix. It's incredible food, that just happens to be gluten free. What do you think of the of the foods that Unrefined Bakery made this week?Absolutely amazing. They were absolutely delicious. But, here's something else I want to say. I had a patient that just came to me, and they went to the Mayo Clinic they were Cleveland Clinic. They were like desperate, right? And they were told by their gastroenterologist that gluten sensitivity is not a thing. Weird. Guess what? Gluten sensitivity is a huge thing to me. Because every time I eat it, I'm pretty much stuck in the bathroom. So Unrefined Bakery. I love the fact that we brought them on. We had Taylor and Ann. And they, they crushed it. They're super smart.Definitely. They're dedicated to their customers without question. Dude, they have the same passion that we do, which is ultimately just promoting health, that's it.Absolutely. So I know, I had to laugh. This patient came to me and he goes, Yeah, my doctor told me that gluten sensitivity was not a thing. Like it, really is because I live it.Yeah, absolutely. Unrefined Bakery, unrefinedbakery.com, use code, gutcheck, save 20% off your first order. Make it a big order. So save 20% off a bunch of stuffed. 20%? They're losing money also.Absolutely. If you walked away thinking you can't have bread anymore, start here. They sell bread, they sell bread dough, they sell cupcakes, they sell cookies they sell like I said.Can you get on the rest of the show, because I'm gonna drive there. Right now. And go get some cupcakes.Unrefined Bakery. You're doing too good of a job of selling this, holy cow.We may not have a show, this may be it. This may be Episode 31 right here. So unrefinedbakery.com. Be sure and check them out. Use code gut check. And now we're onto the show. You're gonna love Episode 31. Dr. Brown is going to dive pretty deep and we'll get started here in 3,2,1. Alright everybody is now time for the gut check project. It's Episode 31, we got a special topic here today that Dr. Brown is going to cover. Has anybody ever thought about fecal microbial transplants almost screwed up the way I said it, just then.No, no, no, you can't screw up poop.You can't screw up poop. You can't screw up poop.No, so I didn't. It's like. It's like everything's fine.Yeah, I want to try something completely different here. So what, what happened and the reason why I'm to do this show, you and I is that I were surprisingly getting some reach. I got reached by somebody, instant messaged me from Sweden.Someone from Sweden, Sweden.Because they actually had GI issues developed bacterial overgrowth, SIBO. And then, in her desperation, she did a fecal transplant. In other words, she took somebody else's poop and put it in her body. So if this sounds weird, it's not that weird. It's something that's like gaining a ton of traction. And then she reached out to me because she ended up feeling way worse and developed several autoimmune issues. And that's what I want to get into the fact that FMT, Fecal Microbial Transplant is not a totally benign thing. And if, Are you open to maybe having me interview her?I think it'd be fantastic if you interviewed her. There's nothing like real world conversation with people who have real world elements with real world answers.That's so awesome. Because one little thing that I want to discuss is a recent article was sent to me in the Journal of Psychology Okay? Where openness to experience is linked to several things. So I would like everybody listening. The gut check project is about checking your ego at the door and being open to different things. So one of the things that I'm really proud of is that every time we do this show, people reach out to us we get a lot of email, we get a lot of people talking to us, and then I have to address it. Well, this particular show where I interview Helly, I want to make sure that if you have IBS, if you have SIBO, bacterial overgrowth, if you suffer from anything. Watch this because what I'm going to do is put a face to the disease. And she was so kind to reach out to me and say, film me, and I want everyone else in the world to know. So the Swedish person, who was very open about everything. She has exactly what I do in clinic, every single day. So what you're going to watch is what I do with her. It was a two hour interview. I cut it down to 15 minutes Right? So if you know anybody, please refer them. If you actually wants to sit there a little little bit more, we have our friend, Shivan Sarna.Shivan Sarna, with SIBO SOS Summit. SIBO SOS Summit, yeah, absolutely.SIBO SOS Summit. She's interviewed all the experts. I actually directed Helly over there, but more importantly, be open. So if you're like, if you're about ready to go ah, no, I'm not into it. What I'm going to tell you is, a recent study came out in Psychology Today, that talks about openness. All right. And the fact that you said open, makes me super excited.I hope I'm as excited when this is all over.I love how we show up. I hold papers and you're like, where are you going with this?Sometimes you give me papers I don't even know they're there. Alright, put simply.Okay.Openness is the drive to explore novel aspects of human experience. Okay? Now, here's what's fascinating. This article did this whole interview where they looked, and 95% of Americans feel that they are more open to new experiences than other Americans. Well, Wow, that's amazing.There's only that 5% that everyone's competing with.I know. So it's funny, because as we sit there and look at this, we realize that 95% of these Americans responded that they're more open than everybody else. But, as it turns out, when they actually went through the rest of the questionnaires, they're not. Okay. As we age, we become very entrenched in our own habits.Familiarity, I'm sure is probably already 100%. It's gotta be.I love the fact that I threw a curveball at you here on the show. And I'm like, you look I'm gonna we're gonna do a zoom with a person in Sweden. So that's pretty much our gas this time.Sweet. So, anybody who is open to experiences, they have shown that the people that are more open to new experiences tend to be financially better, tend to have better relationships, and they tend to be happier. Okay. So as much as you sit there and say, oh, well, I have my routines, being open and jumping off bridges and that, I don't mean that literally. Sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. The figurative. Figuratively because you and I jump off a lot of bridges, figuratively. But doing that more, actually results in a more prosperous life.Doesn't that make sense though, because whenever something's new, it expands your mind. You have a new experience, and doing the same thing over and over again. Look what happens with people who have quote unquote, "stale relationships." They say we did the same thing. And if that happens, then you people always use the term spice things up. Where does spice come from? Spice comes from, from change, right? So embrace the change and take, take what's coming at you.Embrace the change. So what we're going to talk about today is a couple simple techniques. So this study, and then we're going to get into the interview. Okay? And then I'm going to, I mean, I wish I had some way to geek out like some signs. It's like, Okay, I'm going to geek out now because the article I'm going to get into..Yeah, geek out, like now we're gonna geek out. So I mean, I find myself I had a patient in that was a PhD, and I was sitting there, tell her about some stuff, and we started talking and next thing I know, it's like 30 minutes and we're way beyond the actual issues that she came in to see but I'm like, I'm like eating her brain about what she knows and, and she's like, Oh my gosh, hey, if you do this, and this and this and this and this. Like the inner connection of what we can do when we start pulling our mind power together, is really amazing. Yes, it's kind of what this is about. This is being open to new and novel things..Maybe Paul can put a little sciences geek out.Alright So I'm going to tell you how to be open. Okay So rather than argue whether it's good or bad.. so the number one nudge the edge of your comfort zone, ..Okay So it has been shown in human studies that the more that you push things, as we grow older, we tend to confine ourselves more and more and more and more. YeahAs kids, they will push themselves. And you know, they'll just try anything. There's no established boundary. There's no established boundary. As adults, we tend to say this is my boundary, so I should not do that. I am not going to dance, because that's not who I am. I am not going to be silly. I that's I guess that's why I love comedians. They just get up there and just throw down.Sure yeah, I love my grandpa or my granddad, used to have funny little sayings. And one of the things he always said is "you otta throw it against the wall, see if it sticks." I love it.You know, you turn, turn the key and see if it starts anything like that you he's basically just using metaphors for trying things out.We have one shot at life and we tend to limit ourselves because of the fear of the unknown.I would agree with that.Quit doing that. Nudge your boundary, push your confidence to levels. And guess what? It's okay to fail.It is okay to fail.That's the thing. Number two, the number two way to actually become more accepting in that to openness is prototype over perfection.Prototype over perfection. Kind of interpretation of that would be it doesn't have to be perfect to be used. Doesn't have to be perfect to be tested. Right?That's funny how you interpreted it that way. Because the way that I read it was Eric Rhaegar. And Ken Brown, we are prototypes over perfection.Quick, get some microphones and a camera. And let's see what happens.Now, so Thomas Edison made 1000 unsuccessful attempts at making a light bulb. Yeah. And he actually was asked, how did it feel to fail 1000 times. Edison's response was, I didn't fail 1000 times the light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps. Absolutely.So whatever it is that you're doing, whatever it is that you're trying to do, you're not failing. No. It just becomes a step in the process. Be open to more things. Hundred percent.Yeah, I couldn't agree with that more.And when you realize that people like Edison failed 1000 times. Step up. Yeah, no more excuses. And then this is my favorite, right? The number three way to be more open. Follow your curiosities, not your passions. So you have two boys Gage and Mac.Correct? And you know we always sit there and tell people follow your passion, follow your passion. But the reality is, a passion is a very weird and personal thing. Yeah. And curiosities. Are, can be stimulated in many different ways.. I agree with that. Curiosities can be built from different angles. They can be built from experiences they can be built from whatever follow the curiosity the curiosity will lead to a passion. I'm gonna brag on my oldest here right quick, because he does play competitive basketball and they both do Gage and Mac both play competitive basketball and Mac hasn't had this opportunity. So this story is really just about Gage but he has or had some opportunities after he graduates high school this year to go and possibly explore playing basketball in a smaller school setting, etc. But as much as he enjoys playing basketball, he, he doesn't think that's what he wants to define him. He wants to keep his passion as his hobby, and be inspired by being a traditional college student being able to discover because he's afraid that for him, not for everyone, but being a collegiate athlete would basically wall him off from his ability for exploration. I mean, that's almost verbatim how he described it. He wants to be able to be a young man to still explore beyond the boundaries of a basketball and I think that's completely awesome would have been a lot cheaper, on everybody play basketball but that's that's not we all live once and that's not what was going to make him happy.Is that fascinating? Because I know that I mean, we've talked a lot about Gage, Gage explores his curiosity..Sure.He plays music he artist does artists, he does video editing, he does different things. My kids do the same thing where I just didn't cure. I want to encourage the whole curiosity aspect of it. And I didn't even realize that that is what makes you open. Sure. When you're curious, you're open when you're open, you accept other ideas. When you accept other ideas, you accept other people, you can see that there's a whole path here. You eventually by being open, you have empathy. Oh yeah. You end up saying, I get where you're coming from. I could see what this is. You don't wall yourself off.Yeah, absolutely. Now I'll brag on my younger one Mac Mac is often times with his large massive collection of friends, which spans about eight years in each direction. He, he often times refers to them from their station in life if they've had like a struggle or big win I've heard him say, they must be feeling this because this looks like that this would have felt good or bad and then kind of gives their you know, their environment perspective. So yes, I agree with that that the curiosity would would breed empathy like that. That's really cool. So this particular doctor when they wrote this article, they said while passion is fickle, and high voltage curiosity, on the other hand is deep and abiding. When you approach something with a curious mindset, you're seeking growth and newness, for the sake of novelty. So stay curious, my friends.Yeah. And it sounds like somebody else who said that. Yeah. Somebody else I'm sure we can reference it becauseNot supposed to.So I just, I think it's interesting that and in this particular show, we're going to do something unique or we're going to put in a video of me interviewing a patient, but being open to new ideas being curious.Sure. That is the kind of stuff,so as a physician, when I'm curious, I went down some rabbit holes on this particular topic event. I bet.And I loved it. I love it. I'm a I'm a better doctor. This shows makes me a better doctor, this show is going on Shivan's webcast makes me a better doctor, I have to prepare for it. I have to do different things. I mean, we all have to sit there and realize, okay, I am going to be curious about this topic. I'm going to learn it, I'm going to do it. And then all of a sudden it opens up a new door and you're like, we haven't thought about that. No.That's what this shows about. So if you ever heard about Fecal Microbial Transplant, meaning poop transplant, that's what this is about, and there's a lot of hype around it. If you haven't heard it. I listened to multiple podcasts on this. Dave Asprey had an expert on I mean, like all people that I like to listen to.Sure Ben Greenfield.Ben Greenfield did this. Everybody did this? I'm going to sort of rock the whole ship here. Okay, today, I know. Let's be open everything. Let's be open. The fact that if you're open, you're going to be open to ideas. You're going to be open to different perspectives. But the reality is it's gut check project, check your ego at the door. What we're going to talk about is SIBO bacterial overgrowth, IBS, and if you want to watch somebody spilled their guts and really be genuine and be open. I have an interview here that we're going to play in the next few minutes. With Helly from Sweden, nice and she was open and cool. And you're not alone. If you have any digestive issues, you're not alone, and that's the bottom line. So she the story is this. She got sick then she was not right. Then in her desperation, meaning like she had the typical SIBO stuff. She got a fecal microbial transplant, she went to a doctor, he did a colonoscopy and placed poop from another person into her. And then she got sicker. Oh, that wasn't what they were after. That's not what they were after, right? And then she went back to the doctor. He's like, well, let's try again. And let's try again, and then she contacted me because she developed a multitude of autoimmune issues. Interesting. And she is essentially, she feels like she's dying. Hmm. So I would not normally respond to a message but she said, Hey, I need your help. I'm like, Look, here's what we're going to do. I don't know if I can help you. But if you're willing to share your story, we'll play it and we'll learn together. So what I want is everyone, every doctor, every patient to listen to this and say we're going to find something new to fix people. That's what that's what this is about. So let's go ahead and turn it over. This is my interview with Helly from Sweden, who reached out about having complications from a poop transplant, Fecal Microbial Transplant.All right, tune in.So tell me a bit about yourself.Okay, I'm 36 um, I've always been healthy until 2015. But after Flagyl everything my health went downhill. I started it gave me horrible panic attacks, I started getting depressed in movement. This is this sounds strange, but I could actually feel it in my stomach. It was like a nervous kind of feeling. You know, when you have butterflies in your stomach, but it wasn't like a good feeling. You're like you don't have an appetite. It was just like that. Yes, brain fog and the worst thing I had ever felt in my life was something called the realization. You know, when I had nausea all the time all the time. For two years I had not imagined you have a stomach flu that goes on every single day, every waking hour for two days, for two years, that's what I had. And I lost my new job that I had gotten a week before I got Flagyl so I couldn't stay so I it for three years this brain fog and, and my my, because my also my bowel movements. I mean, I had never always gone to the bathroom every day. I got maybe once every two days or something. But after Flagyl my my stool wasn't the same horrible horrible fatigue. I the brain fog I couldn't focus I couldn't I was always panic this this panic was the worst. I wouldn't I mean, if you have panic attacks.So essentially 2015 you get the antibiotics. You start with this down this path you are you eat specially carby foods, you get very bloated. And then you ended up having quite a few beginning with neurologic issues where you had the brain fog, panic attacks and depression some sleep disturbance out of frustration. You had, insomnia, you you went to several different doctors One of them was an advocate for FMT, known as Fecal Microbial Transplantation. And you got ultimately over over a course three different fecal transplants. First one being with a colonoscopy. Second one being with an enema and then an enema again. Okay, so both, and after each one, you had a reaction to it where you had what you felt like the flu and you had lymph nodes that got big. And then since then, you've had very significant skin and scalp issues with Alopecia meaning your hair's falling out. You've had biopsies which are permanent. And now the really unusual one is the hypermobility and the feeling like your joints are getting slightly bigger. And, that is something that seems to be progressing with you right now. Is that correct?Yes. Okay. Yeah, it's in jaws, back. It just pops and pops everywhere. Okay.That is quite the history there Helly. And I'm very sorry, you're going through all of that. Let's try and make a little bit of sense. I don't know if I can help you. But I do at least want to try and explain a few things just so that you're, you're very intelligent. A ton of reading, I'm going to share my screen real quick. So one thing that we do realize when we talk about, this is a moving target as you can see, and so you have a history which is very consistent for somebody to develop bacterial overgrowth. We know that SIBO can happen if you go through a stressful event. If you take care antibiotics are having an infection. And you kind of had all three happen at a similar time. We know that that can affect the motility and all comes down to motility. So you've already learned the basics of bacterial overgrowth, a SIBO and you understand that it's a can be population of bacteria growing where it shouldn't. So when you eat the bacteria break it down. These are just some recent studies that we've been looking at that kind of show how these different gases can affect things. So this is the effects and mention of how methane affects ileo-motor function. And if you listen to Dr. Pimentel talk, what he discovered in his lab, is that what the methane does, it doesn't just shut it down. It actually makes your intestines do an uncoordinated contraction. So it's like it just sort of spasms. And when it does that it doesn't move anything, thus allowing bacteria to continue to grow. Now we know that you drew out both hydrogen and methane. And we do know that when you have hydrogen, if it can actually bind and produce hydrogen....But more hydrogen. Yes.More hydrogen. So what what I see in my practice is that it is the multi biome. It's how these different organisms interact with each other, including fungal organisms producing possibly CO2 or the or the methane back background. Now hydrogen sulfide is a big deal, because what we do know is it's it can actually, the cysteine residue that normally reproduce on our diet gets absorbed and gets converted, but when you have bacterial overgrowth, it produces hydrogen sulfide, which leads to inflammation. Ultimately, inflammation is the root cause of all of this. And so what I think we're seeing in you, yes, that you have root causes the inflammatory process. You're exactly right, that when you had your your Genova stool test, that when you had the fat in there, you are mal-absorbing fat now are you mal-absorbing fat due to bacterial overgrowth, it could also be pancreas and we do see this overlap with that. But it is completely linked all these different things that a lot of times other doctors say well, you just have chronic pain, Fibromyalgia fatigue, migraines, but your initial presentation was all about the brain. The thing that I think you'll find it interesting is that once we know that we set this inflammatory cascade off, I want to show you this arrow right here. Yes, new data has shown that when a mass cell gets stimulated, it'll release histamine and serotonin proteases. But the histamine itself will actually stimulate the enteric nervous system, which will go straight to the CNS. So when you mentioned earlier, I do know that there is a gut brain connection vaguely? Well, it's mediated through the entire nervous system and it is very, very, very sensitive. So have intestinal inflammation, there is your gut brain connection. So if you look at this, the new evidence is now showing that this gut brain connection is in all different kinds of Dementia, Autism, Anxiety, ADHD, you know, the newest term it's really fascinating is leaky brain, because what they've done is that they've actually shown that you can soak colonic tissue in inflammatory mediators. And then they soaked blood, the blood brain barrier, and they show that both of them become permeable. So know that there is no doubt about it. It's not in your head, that whole depersonalization, that anxiety that depression can all be related to leaky brain. I do I am getting into quite a bit of research and cannabidiol or CBD. And there is there are some in vitro studies where they actually looked at how they can improve the blood brain barrier, which ultimately helps with all that so my fear is that these kind of things will continue. Like like you're already worried, continue to progress to lead to more autoimmune issues to lead to more things like that. So the whole FMT thing is really fascinating to me, because we got very excited about it. And then the FDA came in, and then and then they basically pulled the plug. And then we said, no, it's very effective in clostridium difficle infections. Yes, I know that. Yeah. And so that's what it's really only allowed for here, though, the whole concept of just saying we'll just take somebody's super donor a poop. Getting back to the how we prepare it, you may have a super donor right here, meaning you have a diverse microbiome. But once we process it, you may decrease the viability of that even if you do DNA analysis, you don't know if that bacteria is viable. So what I'm getting at is I think it would be very interesting to, in somebody like you, let's say that we advanced the science of this we can go oh okay, Helly, I think that unfortunately, we this particular donor did not have enough of butyrate producers bacteria. How do we get more of that in that? I am a big fan of spore based biotics. megaspore biotic.Megaspore?Yeah, so if you want..That's a probiotic, how can I take that?So I want you to go to our show, I actually we actually interviewed their their CEO, PhD, ..., and beautiful how he explains the science of probiotics. And it's incredible how he explains how the spore based biotics send signaling to other bacteria. So one of the things that they can do and the reason why we're teaming up is because we realized that the polyphenols and Atrantil can actually help feed the spore base bacteria. And what it does is it goes through and doesn't become out of its spore phase until it gets to the illeum at which point signaling goes it goes, Oh, we're gonna end up in the colon. Then it gets to the colon wakes up and starts tapping other bacteria and goes hey guys, we need to diversify a little bit. And they've actually shown that they can deliver vaccines this way and stuff. So the whole concept of spore based biotics is, is really fascinating and new barnwood spore based but so..But can I just ask you Atrantil I have there sir, I know that three ingredients. One is from peppermint, which is fine. I just don't know all that much from about this bark tree thingy.. is it?Well, you know that all really good questions all extremely complex. So, the bark you're talking about is Quebracho, Quebracho Colorado. That's the thing that makes us so unique is because we actually are the only product that has this. Quebracho Colorado is a proanthocyanidin or a tannin. So it's the tannins are proanthocyanidins combined into a large molecule. So the thing that we needed to help with SIBO is that we needed Atrantil to be a poorly absorbed molecule. So when we were talking about scientists, then we looked at all the animal data that had been done. And so what we do know is that in animal models, sheep and cattle that are fed this tend to have a much healthier microbiome, they tend to produce better milk, they tend to have increased weight gain and things like that. So from an animal perspective, we've been feeding cattle for a long time. from a human perspective, you're getting it in a lot of different sources that you didn't really realize, for instance, wine. Things like that, you're getting a lot of this. polyphenols, yeah, but polyphenols is a huge umbrella. Before every time somebody does some research on it, it appears that they are beneficial in ways that can that can become very complex. So this is that whole post biotic conversation that when you take a polythenol and or an undigested polysaccharide that gets to the colon, bacteria can break them down into different things. There are different molecules so that bacteria can break something down, and then produce a molecule called eurolithin. Eurolithin signals old and sick mitochondria to die. So that is my topic. So this is this is the kind of complex signaling that's going on.So when they die, those new mitochondria that does the body produce more or?..Yes, so it's like autophagy. Autophagy...YesIt's mytophagy. It's just the signaling to say, hey, you're an old and functioning powerhouse. And we need a new one over here. So okay, so then the big argument if you talk to in vitro scientists or bench researchers that look what they know is that these polyphenols like reservatrol, like berberine, like, all these molecules are similar like quercetin like tumeric all these. They'll say, Oh, well, one of the problems that Is that it actually creates a little bit of stress on cells. And so that's that antioxidant thing that you're talking about, which is too many antioxidants, then we don't know what it does. in vivo, I think what's happening is is that that is a version of hormesis. Actually, I think there's a term for it. It's called xeno- hormesis, meaning you're outside of hormesis is the adaption to a stress. So the reason why you work out and the reason why exercise is functional is because that's, that's a hormetic response. The reason why Oh, you're in Sweden, you guys are loving saunas, right? You guys are a big sauna society?It's more Finland. But yea.I'm a huge sauna fan, because that's a great example of turning on, heat shock proteins. And so what that does is you stress your body a little bit to make it adapt more. So you get this bigger, this bigger response. I think that the whole emerging role in the US were we're really limited by the research that we do is usually funded by pharmaceutical companies. Yes. Here that's what that's really what I'm trying to do is try and bridge this gap and say, okay, how do we look at some of this consistent research that's been done in the lab done in animals, some small studies in humans and say, can we translate this to benefit somebody like you? So I want I what I will tell you all I will do is I'll try and dive more into the FMT thing ask around if they've had some different challenges like this. And in the meantime, I hope that this helps you discuss a little bit more with your doctor and.. I will.. You know Helly, I think we should probably wrap this up. But..Yes. So what's the next step? You will you will get in touch with me when you've found someone and then we can set up a meeting for, for them for the new thing for the new recording. The show or what..Yea, we need to heal you and bring you back on so that we can heal? .. Next step is for you to tell everybody to watch the gut check project so that maybe one FMT expert will see it and go, okay, I'm willing to talk and then we can pick their brain. Okay.Perfect. Thank you so much. So. So..Hang in there. I hope that this..I will. I hope the zoom at least helps you to relax a little bit. And we know that people are still trying. There's a lot of scientists out there working on a lot of these things. The joint thing, I'm a complete loss. I've always thought of the EDS as a genetic thing. But then again, we have this whole epi genetic field where yes, you carry a gene, and then something happens that turns it on that's another process. So.Yeah, yeah. So it will be interesting to see if I have that gene. I'm going to ask for investigation in that too, because if I don't have it, then it really really is proof that it it's something with SIBO or from the gut. Yeah, and I would know.Yeah.Fascinating. Yeah.. Yeah. Okay. Dr. Brown, thank you so much for your time. And..Helly thank you so much for allowing us to share this with our audience. A lot of people realize that you put a face to a problem. A lot of people feel alone when they're doing..Yeah, yeah. Yeah they do. Hopefully we can figure this out? Yeah. Okay. Dr. Brown, thank you so much I don't want to take much more of your time now. Thank you. You too.Keep in touch okay? I will. Thank you. Bye.Alright, so we're back after the video. Hey, I get to see you at the procedure setting whenever we do the colonoscopies. Is it like that every day in the clinic side because we don't have those kind of interactions with the patients whenever we have them come through so I mean we just heard about the Hashimoto Ehlers-Danlos and screwed up how to say.Ehlers-Danlos.Thank you, but so we hear that that's what she said. Alopecia. Losing hair. Yeah. I mean, this is a beautiful woman who's this has disrupted her life. That's why I wanted it, you know, and thank you to Helly for letting us do. Thank you Helly very much.Yeah, you're right, Pedram. Yes, it actually adds a face to the disease. This is what I do every day people come in and they're desperate. And I want to talk about something unique that nobody's putting this thing together. Let's do it. And hopefully, people like Shivan Sarna can spread the message about what I think I uncovered. When I was preparing for this, with with Helly and listening to her like, Oh my gosh, wait a minute, I think I know what's going on. Because the key to Helly is so it was a two hour interview and I cut it down to 15 minutes. So there's a lot that's left out. Okay. Much like Shojai Pedram, what's his name? Yeah. When when he interviewed me for his Netflix movie, and we did Like 30 minutes of filming, and I got like 30 seconds of airtime.Well, the goal is not through everything. Not all golden hills.Pedram Shojai. Yeah. Pedram Shojai. Yeah. So he's got he does this docu series.You said right the first time he did it with a with a last name comma first name. Oh. So yeah, that was a you end up on the editing floor and I remember like to love it said why don't you just be more interesting and you'll make it into the actual film..Love it holding back.Alright, so anyway, so it was a two hour interview that we that I clipped down so that the thing that people want to hear and if you're that person, and if you have SIBO or IBS or autoimmune issues, there's a high likelihood that some of what she talked about is relevant to you.Correct. Which the thing that kept resonating to me is the anxiety. So she can deal with most of it, but the anxiety and the depression and the panic, never had in her entire life and just something happened. So that's what I want to get into post fecal microbial transplant. She ended up having all these issues.Yeah and your right, having anxiety basically takes away the ability for the coping mechanism to deal with the other present problems. And it's just a it's compounding the issue.Yeah, it's like insult to injury. Yeah, yeah. So you can have gut issues, but now you're having brain issues.And I can't even reason through it without feeling kind of terrible. Well, I want to explain all that. And I started looking into this. And then I started doing some Google searches, on FMT, which is fecal microbial transplant. Sure. And one of my partners that I was gonna interview Dr. Ackerman, who's actually done a bunch of this. We started talking about the consequences of this, and hey, we don't really understand exactly what's going on. So if you Google it, it looks Looks like it's the panacea. People are offering this for autism, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. They're saying I have the cure to this. But I'll let you know right now that the FDA is regulating this because there's been recently two deaths on fecal microbial transplant. And so the FDA is getting involved. So a lot of these different clinics and stuff are doing in outside of the US.Yeah, Mexico, Mexico, and Central America, Bahamas. Exactly.So patients always ask me about this. And if I had a way to say I'm about ready to geek out, I'm gonna geek out. So I want to go into a deeper discussion into the science and talk about improving the risk and improve the beneficial effects of fecal microbial transplant. I remember I've had so many friends call me up and they're like, hey, my mom has Dementia. Do you think a microbial transplant ? If you've never thought about it, it seems weird. But once you're desperate, it seems like the easiest thing that you can do. Sure. I'm gonna take my poop from this good, healthy person, but in somebody else, and people are discussing how it affects all these other diseases. This is an example of how somebody did it. And it unlocked diseases in her..Interesting..The epigenetic phenomena. epigenetics means that you have genes in you. And then when you have an environmental shift, you end up unlocking these genes and they become relevant. It's super complex. So in my own practice, I've actually had twins that had all sort of one had ulcerative colitis, and they gave a fecal microbial transplant from the healthy twin to the the one that had ulcerative colitis, and they did it multiple times. And so the colitis better.Good. Interesting.She also took on the traits of the twin. She ended up having acne, she ended up putting on some weight, she ended up doing some different things. Fascinating. Yeah, think about that. I can sit there and put this. So then I started looking into it. And then there's mouse studies where they have looked, and they have shown that if you take a mouse that has Parkinson's, and they can genetically modify mice to have that, and then you give a non-Parkinson's mouse or a non Parkinson's mouse and you transplant, they end up developing Parkinson's. And that happened with blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity. traits get transferred in the bacteria, it's nuts. So we sit there and go, Oh my gosh, that's like a big deal. So The original studies that have actually been done have looked and humans have shown this, where when they do a microbial transplant, nobody's writing about this. Everybody's saying it's a fantastic thing. Sure. There's this biome.org thing where they're collecting poop and they're given to people. What I want to get into is why I'm not saying it's good or bad. What I'm what I want to discuss is the science of how bad things can happen...which is very unpopular. Like, everybody wants it to work. Everybody wants it. So do we.. we'd be awesome. But..So like in Helly's case, she developed, I really think that she developed Ehlers- Danlos syndrome from it. It's nuts.Yeah, that is nuts. And just just as a caveat, this is not to undermine the research the application of FMT whatsoever. It's just basically just what gut check projects for let's discuss everything that's applicable here.So in a recent review, so FMT, I'm just gonna refer to as FMT, fecal microbial transplant has emerged as it legitimate treatment for the FDA recognizes it for C. diff infection, Clostridium difficile infection, which.. which is real bad. What happens is if you take antibiotics, you can actually wipe out all your other bacteria in one lives, and then they just sort of colonize and create habit. So we do know that it works very well for that. But in a recent review, 2 to 6% of people that have actually done FMT had very serious adverse events. Infection was noted in 2.5%. One of the problems is that the current screening process is very similar to blood. So if I'm going to take your poop put it in me, I'm just going to say do you have had a, b, c, AIDS.. you're good? Because we're treating it like blood, but it's not blood. It's not blood. We don't know enough about it. Yeah, so the current process is that this is what we're actually doing. And then I started looking online, and I found out that there's all these DIY, I do it yourself. Hmm. websites that tell you how to do it. So they're not even screaming for that. They're just saying fine. Now that I do not know, there's DIY websites for how to do an FMT on your own.Dude, I got so deep into the weeds in this thing, the fecal microbial transplant thing everybody wants to say it'll fix I mean, it'll fix everything you name a disease, somebody saying that it fixes it. This is what I want to talk about right here. This is why we do this show. The problem is that right now, a super donor, which is what Helly had. So her doctor gave her a super donor, which is a somebody that has no infection that they could find, okay, and they had a broad microbial species is more important than anything else.. What we don't really take into account is how does that super donors bacteria that that person developed their entire life. And they interact in an epigenotic way, meaning that they actually interact with your body. Why would that be the same as you? I don't know. Because, you know, it being a.. because it essentially a micro environment that's inside, what if you don't live in the same region of the world that I do? What if you don't participate in the same activities that I do?If you don't eat the same foods that I eat? It's there's a lot left open to interpretation and understanding, it seems to me.Totally. And then as it turns out, one thing that we're not even discussing is the byproducts of bacteria.. So when I say byproducts, I don't mean that as waste. What I mean is that the bacteria, the bacteria that we have in our bodies, that our micro biome produces certain beneficial thing..Urolithin and all kinds of cool stuff like that..Post biotics.Post biotics. Well, I I love it because when I gave the lecture at natural grocers, I was talking about post biotics and one of the dietician said, Well, what about short chain fatty acids? And I thought on a local level butyrate, which helps colonocytes? And I said, Well, I, I don't consider that a post biotic. She's like, I think you should reconsider, because the reality is that those short chain and then guess what she was 100%. Right. She was spot on. Spot on. Yeah. So props to natural grocers to hiring super smart people and teaching me and as it turns out, the short chain fatty acids probably pay a huge role in this whole process. Sure. It's a byproduct of bacteria. And what happens is when you eat vegetables, or complex polysaccharides, or prebiotics, or polyphenols, they all kind of do the same thing. They basically go to the colon where your bacteria then break them down.. and they produce certain short chain fatty acids, these short chain fatty acids interact to the body in different ways. So it sounds really chemistry, but it's one is called butyrate, which as it turns out is fantastic for your body sure what it's called acetate. Oh, acetate, is that the thing that develops when you workout really hard and deplete your ATP? Yes, same thing. So, as it turns out, that crosses the blood brain barrier.... And creates inflammatory process... So these short chain fatty acids, what I'm getting at is I'm going to take somebody else's poop, put it in you, and we're hoping that it all works out. This particular article looked really deep into the different short chain fatty acids that are actually produced.. And in Helly's case, even though she got her transplant from a super donor. I think that one of her issues is that her body's own micro biome may have interacted and she produced more lactate producing bacteria interesting, which crossed into her brain which caused her panic attacks.So lactate of course, is something that we measure on somebody who has over activity if somebody has a rhabdomyolysis, and then there's all kinds of implications of too much lactate, and of course, that's related to lactic acid. You get that whenever you're fatigued, so she has bacteria, you can only imagine if they're over producing that, that that would, of course make her fatigued and more inflammed, right?Absolutely. Satish Rao, who's a gastroenterologist all over gusta George's, the SIBO expert. I think Shivan interviewed him actually Satish. Yeah, yeah. He published a study which showed that if you take a lactate producing bacteria, that those people that take a probiotic with SIBO, they end up with more anxiety and more depression. And it all fits.Interesting. So Helly if you if you want to Interview Heloise like the thing that bothered me the most was my anxiety and my panic. She even talked about a deep personalization experience, where every time she she's like, I don't get it. I've never been like that. I'm telling you that the bacteria produced lactate that cross the blood brain barrier that resulted in brain inflammation that resulted in your anxiety.The behavioral change.A behavioral change. Yeah, just from bacteria. That's, I mean, it's, it's wild, but it's, it's probably true. I mean, micro biome has evolved in the gut together, and it's very complex. They signal if you watch our show with Kieran, he talks about how the bacteria talk to each other. Definitely. So when we sit there and say, oh, we're going to wipe this one out, or I'm going to give more of this one that may adversely affect the chain downstream.Well, it's probably all the more reason why a DIY FMT is a is a poor idea. Your there's some much more research needs to be done.You know, the whole FMT thing is, is scary because well, it's just because we just don't know what to do know. We don't know enough yet. We don't know enough. Yeah, Peter Aditya said it past where he was like he goes, we have the ability to test tool. We don't know what to do with it. Yeah, he did. He's the first person just blunted it down.But he said it several times. And I agree with him. Yeah.So the one thing we know is that we do need a high diversity. Correct? So the more diverse your microbiome is, the better. So now here's sort of the cool part. In a healthy individual, the colon is predominantly, gonna get geeky, ready?Ready. The colon is predominantly dominated by obligate anaerobes. Obligate anaerobes, okay. Do you know what that is? Lack of oxygen. Lack of oxygen.Yeah. They need to exist in order to proliferate with a lack of oxygen. Correct? Correct. Okay.So they need to, they will proliferate in an article oxygen free environment.. names like bacteroides infirmities and these different phylum that we talked about. This allows for a higher production of butyrate, the short chain fatty acid.Which is beneficial to colonocytes.Which is beneficial to colonocytes. And as it turns out, it's beneficial to all intestinal tract stuff. Colonocytes just is a fancy way of saying colon cells. So just so you know.You're so nerdy. Yes, you're right. A lot of sites are colon cells. Alright, so our friend Dr. Pimentel, he's actually described how when he's been treating people with SIBO, bacterial overgrowth, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that he has shown that there are blooms..Oh okay.Of facultative anaerobes and he uses the terms blooms.Facultative anaerobe. What he means is somehow the SIBO people end up with more facultative anaerobes in the colon. So, SIBO is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, bacteria growing where it shouldn't. And then when we try and look at them, he's got the technology at Cedar Sinai, just show that they're colonic bacteria. They have an overabundance of facultative anaerobes. Meaning.. what? What does that mean?I don't know. Because when you use obligate anaerobes, it's almost like an interchangeable before I didn't really I'm not really used to the adverb, oblogate and facultative so kind of explore that. This is new to me.Yeah, it's awesome. So basically, it's a badass bacteria that can swing both ways. Oh, if you give it oxygen, it will.Different result?It will say I can deal with oxygen. I prefer anaerobe. Wow. So if you take the oxygen out, I will do better but in Oxygen environment, I'm going to proliferate more, but meaning you have this balloon. So Pimentel describes it as a bloom, meaning we're producing too many facultative anaerobe..Interesting Oh it's super wild.So just as an analogy, what we're saying here is there are some freshwater fish and there are saltwater fish, but you also have those fish that can basically change the way that they handle their respiration and their, their salt water content. And they can exist in both brackish they can exist in brackish water and go back and forth between fresh and salt. So this is kind of like what a facultative..You know what, thank you for making that analogy, because I wasn't thinking like that at all. But yeah, you're exactly right. The transitional bacteria. Yeah, it's a transitional bacteria that will adapt to the environment.Interesting.This is really interesting. So what he has said is that when you have these blooms of facultative anaerobes these bacteria will prefer an anaerobic environment, but they will switch to oxygen and grow quickly. This may be the root cause of dysbiosis. So this could be the reason why I see the SIBO people. Yeah. And they're bloating, it's better but they're still constipated, they're still..So the problem is just adapting.So what was it turns out is and we're going to get into it a little bit. We may be promoting the facultative anaerobes. Okay.And this is why it's a chronic condition. So if you're somebody that is suffering with SIBO I think that maybe your diet choices could be singularly selecting a facultative anaerobe, which does not produce butyrate.So when you're doing current, we need to take things that encourage butyrate production that we're getting to?That's exactly what I'm doing to. So I'm circling around everything where I'm like, we are not producing enough butyrate or body.So knowing and I don't want to jump ahead, but just to bring the audience along, knowing kind of that we want that and that that is typically a byproduct of the bacteria that we already have. I would assume the most natural way for us to execute this is to give those bacteria the tools to make butyrate correct? Is that where we're going? You're spot on. You're a smart Dude, you don't know about that?But I think that I want my, my colon bacteria to produce butyrate.So this is all a lead up to this one particular article, this to my knowledge. This is the first article to address how the actual process of FMT may affect what we're doing to people.... And when I think back to Helly, I'm like, I think this happened to you. Yeah. So currently, if you take someone's poop. What they do is for a fecal microbial transplant, you take someone's poop, you screen it for the typical pathogens. So you're going to look for AIDS, Hep C, whatever, the same stuff we always do for, for blood and they're gonna say, look, it's it's not there. And then they will label them as a super donor if they have a huge diversity.. so now your proof is actually worth something if you actually want to, I know that you donate a lot of plasma and sperm and everything else that you do to raise money. It's, it's all I could do to get here today. Yeah, I know, it's for gas money. But now, if you actually have, if you're a super poop donor, you can you can label that one on there. It just sounds like another 30 minutes of my day.So a super donor, somebody that has actually a broad diversity of, of bacteria. And so in Helly's case, what she did is that she received a colonoscopy when they were they did there and then she did two enemas afterwards. Okay, so they did a slurry. So I started getting into it. And I started looking at this. And this particular article made total sense to me. I'm like, why would Helly have such horrible issues when they've used this stool? So this particular Institute in Sweden uses this super donor all the time, they found what they thought was a super donor. These guys showed the problem is, is that the process is to take someone's poop. And you mix it with sterile water.. and then you blend it.Okay?You blend it...Meaning that the blending process draws oxygen into the compound. So now you're facilitating not the action that you wanted. And there's going to be oxygen dissolved in water. It's the first time ever that somebody has thought about this where they said by the blending process by the actual process of what we're doing for the fecal microbial transplant, we're automatically promoting facultative anaerobes, not obligate anaerobes. Wow, interesting. And it's in I would imagine by proxy, now you're decreasing the byutrate production of these exact..100%. Okay. And that's exactly what we don't want, right?Yeah. So they actually propose that if you're going to do this, so these, by having the facultative anaerobes means that we're going to have less butyrate. And we're going to have more of the lactate. .. the proprynate and these different short chain fatty acids, which by the way, they have shown that they took mice and as I mentioned earlier, where they when they transplanted, but one of the really cool things is that they show that the level of lactate not only affected the brain, but it affected insulin resistance and blood pressure.Has to if you think about the way the body responds to high exercise and fatigue, yeah, because that's what we do.So we're sitting here giving drugs to people were like, wait a minute... is the real way to health to feed the microbiome so that it produces more butyrate? So what they did is they took a mouse model, they went Holy cow, is there a way to produce more butyrate producing bacteria. So they did a fecal microbial transplant test where they did anaerobic slurries. OkayI don't know how they do that. But they basically kept oxygen out of the blender somehow.Okay. And then they stored it with prebiotics.Interesting, oh, and allowed them to.. And allowed the bacteria..To build some butyrate.To build some butyrate. Nice And then they transplanted the butyrate concentration in the mice that they did that with went through the roof. That's, that's what we want. That's exactly what we want. So then they looked at that and went, well, what What actually produces the most butyrate and I looked at prebiotics. Prebiotic is and an undigested fiber. And then I started looking at different studies. And as it turns out, people have done this research already..Polyphenols man.Polyphenols, so as it turns out, polyphenols, same ones, and Atrantil actually get the bacteria to produce more butyrate.Shout out to Joe, Joe Botel out in Exeter University in the UK who was doing the research on athletes and talking about butyrate just the same. That's that's exactly why she said that anthocyanidin polythenols were so, so powerful and helping athletes. So anyway, just to piggyback on that..Our little superweapon just sent me an article this morning that show that proanthocyanidins are extremely protective against Alzheimer's disease through the mitigation of rat reactive oxygen species. But I would counter that and say I I think this is all a big venn diagram. I think it's butyrate ROS or RNS, which is reactive nitrogen species and everything.That's so funny because that's what Joe was talking about was the ROS. side. And now we got your example with Helly, where we're trying to reduce lactate all the while producing butyrate. Correct? Correct. So you're exactly you're right. It's a Venn diagram on why the correct prebiotics to allow the right microbiome to break them down into the beneficial products that your body needs is important. And that's why having enough polyphenols would be essential.All right. So let's tie this back in what's the point of reading all these articles if you can't sit there and apply it? So one of the things I said at the early the first part of the show is that I love doing this because it forces me to be open.. I just told you why being open is important, right? It forces you to be open to accept new ideas and new Now let's apply this particular article that talked about FMT and how blending it creates oxygen, which leads to the wrong type of bacteria growing Correct. We do this in our SIBO people, we tell them to eat low fodmap. We tell them to do SCD we tell them to elemental. So we're trying to protect our small bowel. So we should increase fodmap. Well, in the reality, we're starving, the obligate anaerobes that wants to produce butyrate.Yeah, we're changing their environment.. We're changing their environment!They're response is to not make buytrate.This is the aha moment that I had. I went, Oh my gosh, I'm sitting here looking at this we bridged the gap. That's our job is to bridge the gap. Now I've got you know, the low fodmap diet. Yes, it'll make you feel better. But guess what, maybe that's why Pimentel goes now we have blooms. This is tying it all together. This is why now it's a chronic issue. So I'm sitting with my patients going Know what? So when we had Doug Wallen on the show, yeah, Episode 29. him and I talked afterwards and he said when he first started doing a plant based diet to get super bloated, when he powered through it, he's never felt better. I believe we're doing something wrong by telling people to restrict their diet. I think we should muscle through it. I think that we should tolerate the bloating. I think that we should take Atrantils, ifaxim, and neomycin whatever you're going to do carry out that exact thing in the small bowel. But you have to feed your bacteria so that you have the proper bacteria to produce butyrate and decrease the inflammatory response.That is really interesting. You know, I like analogies. So if you had if you had a dog in the backyard, okay. This is how just kind of picture.I know you love analogies, but sometimes your analogies I'm just like, what?Yeah, you got a dog in the backyard right? And you're supposed to be feeding him. I'm looking at you right now. I kind of feel like Rick and Morty.Yeah, as long as your Morty. Here we go hop on the spaceship. Let's go. Yeah. So, but I just think of it like a dog that's in the backyard and you're feeding it and you're feeding it and feeding and suddenly one day you don't feed it anymore and you have this nice wooden fence all the way around. That dog doesn't want to die. That dog is going to chew a hole in that fence and destroy your nice little fence and it's going to go and find food somewhere else now that that holes the breach that hole is the illness that hole is the overproduction of lactate that's kind of the..You're exactly right. It's it the dog is the bacteria wants to eat..It's going to survive, one way or the other.It's going to make its adjustment because it doesn't want to die. And so feeding it the correct meals. The prebiotics is probably a much better avenue than just avoiding everything that it was after.So expanding on your analogy, the way that I would view it is a little bit like this that you have I'm horrible analogies, I would say. Okay, so you have the same fence. You have the same yard.Yeah, you're really original.And you have two seals. And one dog. Okay. No water. Yeah. So there's so there's, there's a pool. So that PETA doesn't come. So there's pools so the seals are hanging out, and every day you out there, and you throw fish at the seals and the dog, and the dog doesn't like fish.Right? So the dog will chew its way out. Correct. The seals are like, Let's have a party, they get on their cell phones and they call more seals.. And then you end up in a backyard full of seals. And now you have to keep feeding fish. So the analogy is similar, but basically you're, you're pre selecting. YeahBy doing low fodmap all these other things. You're not you're not having a diverse microbiome, the ideal backyard would be a harmonious zoo. Right? I'm in a menagerie. Yeah.Much like your own backyard. That's right. So many animals. Would you please explain what a menagerie is? And why..You could go back to some other episodes and like going back that far, like menagerie is a word for a collection of a bunch of different animals. That's all you need to know.Yes. So it's, it just got me thinking, I'm like, I'm gonna change how I do. I'm gonna change how I treat SIBO, what we need to do is we need to get rid of the bacteria. And then we need to feed the bacteria. How can we do that? Oh, Mind blown. That's why I think Atrantil has worked over time. So as it turns out, I found a bunch of articles, mouse articles, human articles, movies, other things where I would have people that would come to me and be like, you know, I've taken it for like three months and now I'm better I believe that we fixed SIBO and then we fed the bacteria every single day.That's I mean, in all honesty, pulling the curtain back, that's not the way that we've been studying the polyphenol effect from the beginning. This is very eye opening, it actually is still, I mean, I can still see how FMT is could probably still be incredibly beneficial, but it has to be delivered and prepared the right way.Oh, these authors went into a whole different deal where they were trying to figure out how can we improve FMT? And they thought about, like, putting it with antibiotics to decrease certain bacteria, and then what they realized is, you can't play God..That's a mess. That's a hot mess. That's like chemical warfare. An that's how come they said, why don't we just throw a bunch of prebiotics in there and see what happens.Let me ask you, so what
I originally was planning on covering one toxic component of herbicides – glyphosate – which is a key ingredient in Roundup and other herbicides commonly used in agriculture and gardening. But as I was doing my research it became apparent that the contaminants in the herbicides may be even more problematic. That is the formulation of the herbicide matters just as much as whether or not it has glyphosate. In this episode, I’m covering some of the different components of herbicide and then I’ll show you how easy it is to avoid this at the grocery store and in your garden. Episode highlights How to reduce exposure Buy organic. Look for in-season foods and keep an eye out for sales! You can also look for lower cost animal proteins (like ground meat) and do a meatless monday to save a bit extra. If you tolerate beans, buying in bulk is a great option! Just be sure to soak overnight and rinse before cooking. Try to keep away from super processed foods like pre-made meals even if they’re organic as they can be a higher cost than cooking from scratch and can still have additives and preservatives that aren’t conducive to your optimum health. Instead of using herbicides in the garden, consider spraying weeds with a vinegar and water mixture. You can pour boiling water on weeds growing in cracks in your walkways to kill those as well. Of course, always consider pulling. If you feel overwhelmed, hiring some some help for the weekend to pull weeds so you can get caught up is always nice. Note that bees will thank you for not using chemicals. I also love an article by Ecowatch that has 12 ways to get rid of weeds without using roundup. Finally, how do you help your body detox from Glyphosate? Humic and fulvic acids – These are minerals found in soil that can help improve detoxification and restore nutrient deficiencies in the body through improving digestion. Zeobind – This is a natural zeolite. This works much like charcoal through binding to toxins and removing accumulation. Probiotics that are capable a fully metabolizing glyphosate – Primarily acetobacter, which is found in apple cider vinegar and sauerkraut. Spore probiotics – Megaspore specifically supplies bacteria beneficial to glyphosate detoxification. Restore – Restore is a supplement that uses carbon-based redox molecules from soil to help restore communication between mitochondria, cells, and bacteria. This is specifically used for glyphosate detoxification Resources: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945755/ http://www.autismsupportnetwork.com/news/mit-doctor-claims-autism-afflict-50-american-children-2025-glyphosate-blame-2523533#ixzz60Zbr8hcl https://www.corebrainjournal.com/2019/04/307-glyphosate-toxins-mind-science-autism-cancer-seneff-2/ https://www.sophiahi.com/the-truth-about-mitochondria/

Kiran Krishnan is a microbiologist that has made huge waves in health and microbiome science. Well beyond concepts, Kiran has helped engineer, create, and study Spore probiotic delivery systems. It is incredibly unique in that before Microbiome Labs' data, there was almost no conclusive evidence to demonstrate probiotic efficacy en vivo (in humans/living animals). Kiran shares with GCP the basics of natural vaccination that we all should be doing everyday.https://microbiomelabs.comhttps://gutcheckproject.comhttps://kbmdhealth.comhttps://lovemytummy.com/spoonyHey hi Mandy if you don't know me it's probably because I'm not famous but I did start

going on again and we got all kinds of good on this is kind of exciting show because we did a remote location with a really really cool guy Kieran Krishnan get on condition and get on so we ended up taking all of our equipment down to IFN that's the functional medicine meeting and we film the podcast with him and I think it's fantastic it really is some of the coolest microbiology an incredible explanation so the second hour or second hours are to be amazing and it's so cool this is actually really cool because we can look into the future and say we know 100% that we are going to deliver in the second hour because he did an awesome job there's lots of eye-opening anecdotes that I will call them anecdotes they would they were just new in concept the way that he said the but the look back you like it just makes sense it just makes sense he deed he is the backrub microbiologist behind mega spore and it's a spore-based probiotic were going to get into that whenever we have them on the show here and I think if if you have ever been interested in taking a probiotic absolutely have to listen to this because he has a lot of evidence about the industry probiotics how many people are making probiotics that are really not on the up and up and that we know where the product is coming from oh we covered that we covered why a soil baseboard biotic is much better and then with deep dive into the science of how it does so I really really like that that whole podcast that we did with them I did to if you are new to the gut check project this is the gotcha project with your host Dr. Ken Brown we check our egos at the door because nothing is off the table and you may already want to know I saw your post we can Winfrey outrun teal and keeping the CBD so let's just get straight

let us know so that we can keep doing what y'all want to hear about note no doubt so when you reconnect you'll see that you can you can actually suggest guests topics for the show we've already been able to book some in advance with with some of those it suggestion so really looking forward to that today you'll get a glimpse of one of those suggestions they came from a friend of ours named Bridget a little over a year ago when she knew that we wanted to have a show and this this delivers if you've ever really wondered what is it about probiotics that even mean anything and my taking the right one I promise if you're not taking one for mega sport or a mega mega spore a micro biome Lansing to get that right sorry for someone there then you're probably not taking a reputable or a probiotic the can and should prove that it's worth so as we launch the KB empty box we get a lot of feedback from people they will know what's in the box and one of the reasons why you're going to have two really cool things which is trying to heal and mega spore is because in this podcast he explains how the polyphenols not trying to actually augment the spore base biotic and you can improve your health and improve the diversity of your micro biome with that no doubt in on top of that the biggest hang at that you had long ago is how do I even know these probiotics of people are taking are getting to work where I need them to work if you're here ingesting them and their encapsulated in their breaking open the small bowel that the model does cut hole in your billing is pouring a bunch of stuff that is it makes sense he essentially addresses all of that in talks why the science behind spore-based probiotics is the answer so I went on Melanie Avalon's new show called the Melanie Avalon showing I got on Monday and we talked exactly like this that when you listen to guys like Eamonn Quigley who have been studying probiotics for 40 years the thing that he says the best as we can they do amazing things in a petri dish we just can't get them to replicate that in the human body because it's very very complex we get into big detail about how that actually happens how many people have we had come to the G.I. clinic who have said I had G.I. distress or whatever that whatever sentiment was happy but I had G.I. distress and then begin to take a probiotic and it went away for a little while and then after name the time interval for weeks six weeks 12 weeks whatever it is suddenly they returned to that feeling of the symptoms and often times what I hear is it was worse and so basically it's your the idea environment applying what Kant said correctly is that taking the wrong delivery system of probiotics is actually just dumping bacteria would know doesn't necessarily belong so when I see these people with really bad natural overgrowth say hello and they start taking the way worse that gives me a hint of what's going on sure the Cedars-Sinai protocol Dr. Pimentel is a little let the patients take probiotics now to Ron has some great research showing that the spore based biotics can actually help with leaky gut intestinal permeability I think it's funny because patients go oh I've tried probiotics before but that's a lot like when people say oh I tried to CBD before right and the like I didn't get any response Michael CBD is a lot like the supplement industry there's a lot of products out there which they do not show in the manufacturing process is not on the up and up so that's how come we see some of the people to take the KB MD CBD and the like wow I really feel a huge difference and it's because we know exactly with with a certificate of analysis how many milligrams is actually in the and we know we do a whole series of videos about why your body needs CBD tell me about the dosing of CBD so if any of you have any questions about that you have with CBD sent them over so that we can do videos and put them out there and trying to educate my job here is to educate everyone on the science of these different things always know the gut check project check your ego at the door and start relearning everything and that's what I had to do a CBD that's what I'm doing with probiotics right woman launching his boxes as part of it so the first box that were that were launching the ingredients that we put in there the Meigs point out front children work together and there there to begin to heal your gut then I put in life extension comprehend the digestive enzymes so that you can make sure that you can absorb all your micronutrients I want to protect your brain and we put in their organic tumor from Omega and they have is really cool blend of putting an animal which has been shown to help with insulin sensitivity and ginger which is been shown to help with digestive issues so those four things right there and then we threw in something really cool something called truancy try our US II now I recently I replied discover this because my patients were told me about it and member boxers saying that so many of the other influencers were having really good success with its Western look of the science micronized hydrogen as it turns out micronized hydrogen nanoparticles of hydrogen can actually help at a cellular level decrease inflammation so here were protecting your gut and then all these things added upward and thrown a couple of the really cool products a lot of people take apple cider vinegar so we went with Vermont Village organic flavored apple cider vinegar that actually taste good and the special guest from or special gift from me to everyone that signs up in addition to that we should say that anybody that signs up for the KPMG member box we do not have CBD in it yet because there's a lot of regulatory stuff going on but you will be given a discount is that correct they can I resend you sign up you'll get access that nobody else gets on CBD with KPMG CBD being a certified COA product already so you know that it's authentic it's already priced is the best value high quality CBD bits available anyhow simply sign up for the KPMG box KPMG box.com you will then be able to get price access to KB MD CBD that's not available on really anywhere on the web so absolutely and so this is legitimate still the old adage membership has its privileges except that's what were trying to do to be of the community when you get on that you're getting $250 with the product sent to you they are going to get IC work in my patients that's the key to this is that I see these things work or adding a little bit more and it's over $103 savings so you like to be able to find these products cheaper anywhere they come right to you and then with the feedback we get working to continue to evolve organ to get more products and were to be able to add more work to get me it's gonna be really fun in addition to being able to get discounts on CBD just add to it so simply what what I believe can you're saying is that this is an opportunity if you take supplements whatsoever that you're going to get settlements that work going to get them all for a price it is inaccessible to essentially like Costco for healthcare providers is as suggestions right and then we don't just talk about the science or the claims on the label weeks we essentially just tell you all of the benefits that it can be scientifically proven for this product that's in there what actually is happening for you is your benefit correct exactly and then when you sign up you get access to this big marketplace so Rivard had several people that built in addition to what's already getting the writing a few other things and and this is gonna be a really fun exciting time as we launch this it's an opportunity to change the landscape of health I want to see what happens with people I would love to see will go back into the regular doctor and find out that these great things are happening like oh my my insulin sensitivity is improving because we know that multiple products in their actually help with that oh and sleeping better just know that the magnesium in the truancy can help with that working to start doing that and then as we get feedback from everybody were you learn hey can you do something and similar patients of Artie been asking about this hey I have a I take a supplement for my eyes anyway that we can get on their gnomelike reward are working to get that product on this marketplace so that you can get it at a huge discount so it's good to be a really really fun exciting hopefully life-changing experience for anybody that signs up this is essentially an environment where it is totally consumer driven it's done for the benefit of the consumer and it's essentially like walking to the store saying this work for me does this work for me and then turning back to a physician insane I would suggest this one actually I don't know so much about that one and which is really cool and that's what a lot of people are looking for whenever the china shop and then everybody that's involved in this community there's a lot of other healthcare providers we've got gynecologic experts would get functional medicine doctors we got chiropractors we have health nutritionists and were all bouncing ideas off each other so I can find out that's our thought about truth he actually right like now you you have to try this it's awesome and it's incredible to value that were getting on that so this is going to be really neat I just want to see this happening of course percent money back guarantee go to KPMG box.com check it out check it out well to move forward Dr. Brown I didn't want before we got down to the topics I was going to ask you what's going on with the oldest tennis player and your family so Lucas Lucas right now is with his coach in Haverford Pennsylvania playing in IETF which is the International tennis Federation it's the I guess it's 18 and under Junior pro circuit were international people can come from all over it's a grass court tournament so these pictures are just beautiful is it some country club yes were all white just like your going to Wimbledon right Wimbledon has the same rules so they treat it just like that and he's doing really well apparently this grass surface suits his game because he is in the semifinals playing tomorrow he's got today off and then play in the semifinals tomorrow so and the boys can be playing as a is from Thailand okay and he he lives in Florida at one of the at one of the Database and Seleucus knows of him to his boy to start accounted go round is a few years older but the own so hopefully we'll see what happens but I'm just probably got here all the way on grass yet picture that you show this like they're playing on a bentgrass greenhead is out things ready Heck yeah I mean levels doesn't look like a lie would be Arctic adeptly but straight for the whole but yet is that is wild is beautiful with the boys for me are just it's all about taking a break from basketball next week being 4 July just after the listeners we won't have a live show next week because the fourth is on Thursday and have family and I are are going take a break and have two out to Colorado for a couple days to get out of the heat in Texas which actually has been a bad so far this year but I while we were getting ready for the show something I thought was really funny have we been looking at or hearing so much about how people found meat replacements have you seen this in new commercial or for RVs it was on online so we just look this up somebody texted Eric said yeah this is a check out the new Arby's Arby's unveils vegetables made from meat where there they now have meat carrots sort of a fight back against the whole but it's the amazing what's what's everybody doing Usha Patrick what had there is beyond beyond meet an impossible barter that since this is the fight back you have the lease they basically took me shape it is a ^ relevant ^ dusted and cooked it pretty it's pretty it's pretty interesting pretty awesome but Rob Wolf is the one who shared that when I was really fun that is funny so one would also really funny this past weekend that so what it was out of town and while she was out I decided to be a good hobby in those who are your car detailed and so I took it and Mike did the whole just keep it for a few hours they did the inside and out. You know the full on detailing proud of myself I go to pick it up driving home I don't drive a car very often and I clipped a curb or a pothole or something is went white and next and I blew a big old hold that tire nicely as so awesome it's only some found out that her accurate roadside assistance had run out and I had canceled that on our insurance because we have accurate roadside assistance why would I need that right so had neither some told this thing to tire shop on the it was on Saturday night told it left it discount tire whatever was going to fix it the next day will are closed on Sunday and I saw Lloyd arrive Sunday night not only are you mentally cannot brag about me washing the car detailing the car it's I pretty much screwed it up so it's that there will have to do tomorrow hey man it was the intention it matters thank you hope yeah exactly well what he got didn't say in the corner I know that we got you have kicked back and forth a bunch of really cool article this last week and I didn't really know which direction you're going to go today because there's a lot there but once you had lead off with your favorite one so far well usually it's thing there's been a lot of recent news there was Melanie Avalon and I actually talked about this one which I think nobody should lose take take a look at churn and realize something there's two studies published in the British medical Journal were looked at how when people take really, refined diets that all cause mortality increases significantly and there was another study with a look that were cardiovascular events goes up so then they started looking at what it does to the micro bio just just for clarity for for refined diets were talking talking about things where people have refined sugars refined carbohydrates things that have been bleached crack like flour etc. right there were some of the so what they're actually looking at is anything that's that has that been said impacted the happy stabilizers and chef Patrick could probably expand on this but they're looking at that most of these things have emulsifiers in them they have lots of sugar and a very interesting concept they usually decrease the amount of fiber content and the reason for that is is that fiber keeps you full this is and encourage you to keep popping the chinos or whatever so check Patrick do you know what an emulsifier is when they're doing with the processed foods Yemen there and there a lot of that that but it's a binding agent modified food starch is things like that yeah it said there chemically in its natural substance chemically modified to be cheaper – you need less of it so the date they work really well as a thickening or something at texture to to breads or things like that so what they showed as these emulsifiers so those three things the emulsifier actually damages your good micro biome and then the sugar feeds bacteria that allow them to grow more the lack of fiber means that your micro biome does not use that as a prebiotic so you diversity decreases so you don't have the benefit of having your micro biome Hope you so not only do we now know that that definitely increases cardiovascular risk and all cause mortality now we've got molecular reasons of how it messes with your micro bio so it's kind of a fascinating thing because they what they showed is that when these bacteria get hurt by the emulsifier they do not they cannot break down the prebiotic's which then allows the bacteria to produce short chain fatty acids which your body works and uses as fuel in in the colonic cells so becomes this very vicious cycle that replacement of fiber I would imagine would also increase the glycemic index then of those foods making them also more dangerous correct 100% what they showed is by not having the short chain fatty acids float around inflammation in your body goes up tested so they show these animal models that cortisol and CRP go up that the reactor protein yeah and what that does this is your goal of this they showed it was the first time I've seen this that when your cortisone CRP goes out you actually block the information walks your response to leptin growling is the hormone that makes you hungry leptin conventional full so you open up a package of something you start eating and you start get in the habit of doing that on a regular basis you change your micro bio you are not decreasing in not allowing your own bacteria to help you decrease the inflammatory response of anything in short chain fatty acids go down you will get hungrier you eat more of it more of the bacteria that like that start putting out signals and so a lot of times these are when people like and why can't I quit eating this junkfood there's a cycle going on in all of this were now seeing on a cellular level what's actually happening where huge explanation so if you if if you're experiencing already some inflammation you can see it doesn't have to be anything terrible but if you have acne it obviously feeding it more of a refined food diet would simply just be feeding into the inflammation process that you're currently experiencing right exact so you got a child at home maybe this even just these four minutes is worth watching on why you need to steer away from sugary cereals for breakfast or why you need to not come straight home and turned straight to a bag of chips or something else like that because you're going to not the you not to feel full and there the right way and you're just going to can keep consuming really bad calories you wake up and you take in and those cereals that such a great example we talked about that before the show were I grew up in fruity pebbles and stuff like that I cringe at screens where is he striking about it now and now we know that your not feeding your bacteria what it really needs which polyphenols work really well to feed your bacteria we know that fiber does that as well so that you can have a very diverse micro bound the key is to have a diverse micro bio they showed that the more people that eat this they have a much more narrow spectrum so you do not have the benefit of that microbiota you want your left in response so you're always kinda hungry you never really feel full and then let's take it up once that they didn't get into this but I that she had some patients that were food chemists working for I don't I don't member Frito-Lay or some like I actually work on having more likely it's an emulsifier now that I think about it to slide more easily so that the food goes down quicker so that the Fritos go down quicker all that stuff so there's a lot of science being put into it to trying get people to open up bags and then their engineering to make you dependent upon their crappy food and it's not gonna benefit you in the long term it's so weird I mean it's actually nuts like it at some point we have to start getting involved in not letting companies destroy the general health they have the money to take out the money to make beat carrots yeah so you have these companies out there doing that and it's an uphill battle wrist we do know the epidemic of childhood obesity everything else the activities is that will yeah that that is something to do with it but what if were really messing ourselves up on a cellular level that were not even paying attention to it's so hard in the grassroots level if you're not I just like you hug I grew up on really sugary cereals I mean I'm sure if you termite clock of wouldn't want to do that it also it it's like how do you move forward how to educate your kids and for the most part I would say even though my both of my boys feel it's incredibly boring for breakfast for them weight Marine I just don't buy that that Stuff and ironically since the boys it there after the summer they've been earning their own money one of the ways he rewarded themselves they went bought a box crappy cereal you have such a downer when I see it I don't want to me I how I know you can't get Kellan to make some choices still but at the same time I look at my I just don't think they have any idea what the many Dell right they don't they don't know what it's doing Celine I think when you really young you don't feel the effects as much the truth is as much as they play sports and that inflammation they work up it's not helping them heal they are recovering we talked about that that the the original thing a breakfast being the most important part of the day was actually an ad campaign in 1940 when greatness came totally. Today I went without my normal bacon and eggs I felt great so you did intermittent fasting that I did it was also and I was still wasn't hungry until about three in the afternoon I get another really cool little tidbit that I will talk about regarding bacteria and CBD when we come back all right wow that was a quick half-hour so like and share like and share gut check project on YouTube and iTunes

all those things Dr. Brown these are things you see I should add that that's the signature package there is what we call the signature package skills what might what I'm trying to do is bridge the gaps and bring traditional science into natural places and right now I think that what were lacking a lot of is just data and science on CBD there's so much confusion about the reason why the signature package is because we know that the polyphenols in front he'll actually decrease the enzyme that breaks down your own and a cannabinoid site and this is that they work together to increase so that's what I was seeing in my practice when people take the CBD and otter until they feel markedly better there was there so many things to get to like there is a recent article were it was looking at how CBD actually is very effective against superbugs better than antibiotics science is pretty thick on that go to KB MD health.com sign up for KB MD box and we were to continually update that site with a lot of science new science and everything but there's another article that I found little bit more interesting than I want to cover and note out let's get to that article just died just for those who haven't done it yet because it grows every single day KPD health.com which is why you find such a project.com etc. just simply sign up for the newsletter over the next three weeks the transition is going to be huge what what kids talk about is that from KB MD were going to be able to put the science were actually the science has been explained behind polyphenols CVD diet it's for you it's for free but it's for you to be more educated spend your money more wisely stay more healthy that's really what this whole things about and we have the ability to find a lot of articles a lot of my colleagues like will there's no science Alyssa Mike no no no no there's so much science on this you just have to know where to look and you have have access to a lot of these articles right so if anybody has questions like hey what can do you have you had any springs of receiving the articles on what it does for skin issues for instance like your dermatologist does as this have any background on things like that psoriasis eczema acne all kinds of different issues oh have you seen any benefit with rheumatology words are from Bruce her arthritis word osteoarthritis will not make any claims here what I'm saying is that working to find studies and see and they had just like we did with the photo bio modulation just like we did with the stem cells we can find this stuff and really saved now this makes sense absolutely I mean really that's that was the whole idea why you started caving to health in the first place is just find a place where people can turn these the same questions that come to the G.I. clinic every single day and so now we got a place where people can turn it start find some real answers speaker questions this morning I was working out poses new Joe Rogan's podcast and he had Bob Lazar on yeah that's a space so there's a there's a new Netflix movie out there word so will trickle UFO and saucers or something I think it even uses his name is UFOs and Balthasar something honest I don't remember exactly what it's called but yeah I lazy and hours avoiding exact figure just to be one of those conspiracy type things but no ma'am he on Joe Rogan the guy sounded like he was looked legitimately scarred from the whole experience in yeah I don't want to be pain but I'll I really, want to talk to Mildred more debt than on TV has any pictures because I thought it was really honestly it seemed it seemed sincere maybe if he's that good at holding that that form for almost 4 decades and while but I mean he's he said the stores were really really long time Dennis really messed them up yeah I mean he's any heat honestly was saying I don't want to be here but I need to get the story out and while he was on Joe Rogan show it was like he was bragging or anything I was weird listening to another podcast Kim of the comedian's name is on XM radio but they were kind of trying to debunk all that and say that he was just is just crazy I'm reading an article that just came out said film on Netflix finds UFO whistleblower baubles are seeming less crazy than ever yeah will admit the funny thing is even just two decades ago and I can't remember exactly what all of them were but similar like bone scans identification systems and the fact that he said that there was a certain isotope of the hydrogen that he knew existed before and they had been scientifically denied but it turns out that a handful of the things that he declared that he had seen before are suddenly now available the bone scan machine that he described exactly as he described it is now available the isotope of hydrogen that he described almost 3 and half decades ago everyone said didn't exist sudden exist now and it's really neat he's basically like I find this is a point of vindication I have stuck to the story and that's all been documented in fact they even say they who have the proverbial they is scrubbed his name as he claims he described his name as being a student in attendance at a few different it's so that's with the other podcasts talk about the light how can you just have no measures only exist they scrubbed his name from going to MIT or something like that it was a and Cal poly Cal poly and MIT on the scrub is named after the service and the like that is impossible somebody would've known him wreck that's how come they think that he may just be craziness in his own story and sticking to it but how is there nobody else saying hey I knew that guy would school with him here she went here that's the weird part is there is there's there's people who assigned affidavits who are listed as all real students who said that yeah he was totally in school with us so it's I don't know it's a very bizarre and promising new nothing about it until I heard that same podcast I nine so I'm starting to put that yellow color online from Alpha Centauri waiting on them back to Nelly I've spent a lot of time watching videos on YouTube no no I haven't any but it's interesting it's a fascinating story he is especially I seen the new Netflix shows that were in the watch that Check Out Joe Rd. in Charlotte is what you are she watched both and I think the Joe Rogan episode is probably more informative findings that the Netflix thing is okay but the hearing Bob is talking his own voice I found far more interesting and certainly in terms the validity would be more compelling and quite honestly fencing the Netflix thing first I don't know how much Otto believed yeah he just need to seem far more genuine than just the longform phone interview Joe Rogan is such a great host he really is he saying to her and intuitive question so that without question well I to change his story over 30 years picture the phone call there yet Patrick can we only got 20 minutes we get Karana on going to hit the yeah yeah I will hit the so much like Bob Lazar said he goes this is the stuff were looking at it just could be that they like to be dumped a motorcycle on the on the street in Victorian times people are to poke around that it somebody may figure out how to turn it on this kind were he was saying that I do know there's so much will in science we do the exact same thing were to talk this next hour with Quran and probiotics in spore-based biotics because micro bombs are really big deal now after until is NSF certified that is certified for sport the reason why that's a big deals because were making sure that we get no doping agents inherent giant athletes pro athletes College athletes there's all this reaction to anti-doping and everybody keeps putting new things on the list I got a new one for you okay probiotics may become anti-doping things really if they can figure this out there so if you had what you're saying is that you can test positive for probiotics there is a chance that I would become a flag there was they were referencing that there was and I don't remember what it was but they whatever sport it was a female had much higher levels of testosterone probably curling up in public but they said for her to continue to compete at the Olympic level she has to actually decrease her testosterone by taking some sort of testosterone blocker because whatever so that there's lots of different things that can be performance enhancers what this study that just came out June 24 in nature what it talked about his elite athletes gut bacteria give Road runners a boost so this group was looking and it's pretty funny to think about the tension with anti-doping I just wonder if this will suddenly pop up on the anti-doping list what they showed is that proportions of certain bacterial species increase after endurance athletes have completed a marathon furthermore this type of bacteria that increases breaks down lactic acid and produces another compound called propionic lactic acid is what makes your muscles tired and sore and weak propionate can be used as a fuel so then I looked at another group of people and this was a series of 15 runners that their look at the Boston Marathon and they found that they look at another group on some a bunch of very elite rowers Ro's of in Olympic trials and they got very similar result basically this type of bacteria called Velma Nella or villanelle at a Tippecanoe increased in both of these groups of people so Bella Bella atypical appears two have adapted in these elite athletes to break down the lactic acid yeah informed that so is it chicken or the egg right are these people elite athletes because possibly they have a higher proportion of villanelle or did they develop develop mellow in response to constantly increasing the lactic acid in the body while so that's what this group is trying to look at so they ended up taking a bunch of mice put them on of little reels treadmills mice treadmills whatever they're called and they were able to show in the mice if they gave them Bella Nella rectally and orally they actually had decreased amounts of lactic acid now I've done that before I've gone and done I went to the to the try shop and did a whole lactic acid to push yourself as far as you can go and my lactic acid just kept going up and elite athletes it will start to go up in the middle drop because it goes back into the Krebs cycle okay so does that happen because they've got more this melanoma or doesn't happen because their elite athletes and their bodies have adapted I don't really interesting so their ability essentially to of work or outwork others because they function better in an anaerobic state the right no no once they going to anaerobic state than the lactic acid gets put back into the Krebs cycle so it can be used as fuel again okay possibly converted to now I'm thinking it's possibly being converted to appropriate okay I so I and others a lot more to it but what I find really funny is the people that did the study have a new startup called fit bionics fit bionics for bionics bionic microbiology okay right so it is really interesting to sit there there's always a go to market something to try and increase the amount of this particular species and what we do learn in the next hours is how complex it is you really just can't say only take this one I'll go back to Dr. Soltis row study were he showed people with bacterial overgrowth they tend to take probiotics that are lactate producing probiotics okay that's what almost all the probiotics you get over the counter and he showed that lactate cross the blood brain barrier which is one of the reasons why a lot of these people maybe have some brain fog it could be intestinal permeability leaky gut it could be that the lactic acid is increasing we may be using the completely wrong species maybe we should be using this species to get rid of the lactic acid and produce this propria night so interesting yeah but it's it's going to be now if you be a race now revisited to others a probiotic for sleep this a probiotic for endurance and once again it still has to make it all the way through the intestinal tract and get Rick and start of dividing more and increasing the diversity you can't just do one memory of 100 trillion bacteria in your colon over thousand species this is what this is little of the marketing hype is been around over to skim through this want you to do all kinds of things that part is a make a lot of sense either that or just to simply take a bacteria or probiotic just for one desired effect of what you would want even for sleep and no doubt that someone will market like that but it all comes down to the biodiversity of that bacteria anyhow could you if you were to load up theoretically on sleep bacteria will then would you just have lethargy all of the times he sensei not exist to make sense it's marketing on everything on every single line so this is a mouse study where they said that so they took humans they checked her poop and they go oh these guys have higher part they have a higher percentage of this particular species that must mean something then were to go to rodents were to give it to we know that trying to replicate in a mouse model in the human models extremely difficult it's the closest thing we can have because there you can't keep humans in cages and you don't control her diet will look all that other stuff so there's a lot of other studies I've seen with a like oh this particular group had higher levels of this and they were skinnier so this is going to be a weight-loss probiotic so it becomes a marketing game with the science being really difficult to prove it is mastered adding that their research that makes sense to keep doing that did you see the article he came out I just was last week were two people died from fecal transplant now some super unfortunates the first time that people have had bad outcomes from people transport you ever get real excited about the microbiota transplants and if you don't know what this is as a whole new field of science were people taking one person's poop and they emulsify it and they put it in one way or the other there's a lot of different ways to do it either through a kaleidoscope or you can go way into the small bowel and push it through more and just dead just to cover the whole array want there some people who taken frozen capsules of the of poop and then and then just basically ingesting it like normal and then that idea was it with all yeah yeah so the idea would be there with thought you'd always through my partner Dr. Stuart Ackerman what he was doing is she was getting he was getting stool from this NIH grants location were there collecting school from people they do all the make sure that there's no diseases or anything in the they bring it back and then they injected it's frozen emulsified as it goes down with the scope way into the small bowel and then just pushes it beyond the stomach acid beyond the pancreatic and where would normally all get killed its way down and there's this part on seeking go and that's what that's what he was doing but that's been shut off because the cost of the poop has gone so high that the nurse on an island or something happened where regulations are coming in the cost to test it for all these other found my game yet became prohibitive so now you know we all have poop and now it's a controlled the FDA is they made it a they wanted when the FNT first came out they wanted everyone start applying for a new drug indication just poop it's poop but enforces a big setback because two people died but apparently the prepaid toxigenic E. coli on it they didn't realize that so they took one person give to other people would use a lot in the hospital for C diff infections okay so if you take antibiotics not only can you just disrupt your micro biome but you cannot actually allow one particular species to dominate yet the dominant cold seat of Clostridium difficile and and if you ever had a relative or you've ever experienced that it is not fun and hard to get rid of the fecal transplants were working very very successful for that so it's it's unfortunate but this the first time that we had no bad outcome so people are trying to figure out how to work with this microbiota it's almost like we have the ability to test but we don't really know what to do with it Peter Peter Addie it was talk about this on one of his podcasts use and yet we have this ability to do this big gene mapping we can do PCR analysis got all these different species and overlooked the runners had this let's do that it's just not that simple at least up until this point must we cracked the code on how to actually figure that part out its own of the game you can you find different things you can detect that learning how to interpret the analysis is as a whole nether probably can alarm just understanding how to apply the science that happens every day so what you think the numbers are if we've lost these two people and they've directly attributed it to the transplant self correct out of how many oh I don't I don't know you rationalize death but the truth is it is a number everything is run through statistics and it's unfortunate that this would be a setback but I say that that we have people who will die today the in several the died yesterday in the day before that from opioid abuse and that's not stopped anybody from administering that so when you when you look at then you put it in in those kinds of of boxes it is unfortunate now we can move forward in and make certain that this doesn't happen but the fact that that really famous kid back in the 80s Ryan White who died from AIDS from a blood transfusion bleeding stop doing blood transfusions because of that we learned how to get better at doing blood transfusions yeah I think that the cycle things if if they can be sensationalized it then it's going to make the moves and fecal microbial transplants are always something that is gonna make the news because people just go what in the world and they want to read more about it than when asked questions about it been in my field for years and years decades we been trying to figure out what actually do without you know there was the their study that came out I believe is out of Yale where they took poop from skinny my scared to fat mice the fat mice got skinny and vice versa than that led to this whole study there actually trying to do this at Brigham Young's University and I will say just got published but it really didn't didn't have any weight loss affects all really desolate it worked in mice got all excited your own fun skinny people got tight trying to poop the other they got all excited that that's what was going happen but it looks like the results of work it's really interesting I wonder what the parameters were around it because I I can I figured it wouldn't be necessary that you just simply metabolize food differently it may have to also it may also include what are you can foods do you desire by having that type of bacteria inside so it is small level where mice don't make a whole lot of decisions I guess you could say they may just eat a little bit less with that fecal transfer but maybe the reason why it didn't necessarily work in this one experiment Brigham Young is because people are still left to their own their own devices or vices whenever they're out there and they can contaminate the sample that they take to buy say love get the bacteria on still going to go to fill in the fast food chain restaurant or I should lose weight I back at the bacterium now that's a really good observation because you would almost have to have them in a cage to do this because just as we talk about your left and still in blunted and do not do your document feel full you may be taking in more cows have ever done it like I did my fitness pal thingy Jack Kerry and I were doing that Bruce was log all the food but it became really cumbersome but I was eating way more calories and I thought yeah like you to sit down and up around 2500 revenues keep adding them up you like, get the handful of almonds that you walk by throw down to hundred percent you look back you try to write off the day like that's the anomaly in the realized that days just like the day before and he put forth that now I'm guilty that Rhonda Patrick just came out with a podcast with her on telomere specials telomeres are the kind of tells our age right that it's the end caps of the chromosomes and as we age they decrease and they were looking at things that directly affect the telomere length stress cortisol sugar refined foods lack of bacterial diversity same stuff that were always talking about actually can speed up the aging process so telomeres can be damaged each time basically that ourselves replicate and what we don't want from all the things you just listed is telomere shortening because that that enables the sales to age more quickly and basically if it is I understand the DNA just does not get replicated in the future with the new the new daughter cells deliver younger cells in there that's another complex thing when we are at I effeminate if you remember that but there's booths were people check your telomere length and have been not only was it real well that's what Ron was talk about when she there's so many different ways of to be affected what lab it is what you going to do with the information and now there's companies out there that are selling products to increase to llama race decreased farmers I remember whatever you think it's increased telomerase which is an enzyme that kinda protects the telomere this and just go off, have gas podcast just it's really a menu notes Rhonda Patrick sure super sightseeing geeky and with that we don't know because sometimes you want shortening as if it's a cancer cell you want that you want the body to recognize that and it'll go away and that way you don't have because cancer cells will grow so fast that you need that shortening to prevent that from happening so we don't know try to mess with telomeres is going to do something like that but the same thing keeps coming around over and over and over if you get sleep eat right you feed your micro bomb what it needs like polyphenols like spore base biotics then decrease the information with CBD then all of that your body will figure out what to do so sometimes whatever we thought articles were people going only wanted this one probiotic and you can run faster really overthinking maybe if we just kind of got rid of those refined foods the emulsifiers in the high sugar and all that stuff a huge take away here is that you can if you step back you realize that there are there are real researchers that want to make things happen that the crazy unfortunate thing is oftentimes a marketer was simply just take the data and then want to be the first to make something happen rather than make certain that the science is solid or a company has a good product and they just won a race to get out and get a second product that doesn't necessarily burying value without having the research back behind it and honestly it's that that's the really cool part of being a part of KB MD health and KBS is that we we've always tried to make certain that the data is solid for eight do no harm be sure that you can help someone before you just turn a product loose now you make me feel bad because I'm actually scratching out abdominal discomfort and putting decrease veil and Ella and then underneath that protector tell me the only product available with you faster and younger trying to get your telesales cereal today exactly that out I don't know it it's it that you don't want to paint a picture of the whole world going dark but each but if you're listening just protect yourself when you if I go to these conferences and you listen to somebody scientist like vulture long ago and these guys are doing the research and like when Rhonda Patrick talks and such and panda it's very well this is what we saw we believe this is this we can extrapolate that it's real great it's not like you see when you're talking to a marketer like privilege and will increase your memory and it's like well and wait a minute's backup was little to the studies these guys are out there and all these PhD's there not that will I find them fun but sometimes is not up on the listen to them cry don't really land on anything the light that we kind of think this is what's happening what image frustrating to the general public and in their pioneers and is probably a lot like a Lewis and Clark they made their way through their just mapping they're not necessarily saying that everything's going to be roses by the time they get out to out to the West Coast right I mean they were just finding their way there they just basically charted as it came along we talked last week about all those medical reversals where they were looking all theatrical reversals they had three they found out in the Lancet New England Journal of medicine in JAMA that when they looked back at trials they showed that 369 straight up medical reversals has taken place like we talked about where we thought estrogen was really good for every woman take a bunch that we realized it was actually increasing heart attacks so it's really complex and it's hard to sit there and say okay let's look at an article this bacteria can increase running and there immediately when I would I guess I would too if I was the scientists are like weeds do a startup right now so during the startup called for bionics but it's no different than the multibillion dollar industry that is probiotics if you talk to Dr. Quigley that's not how he describes it he just says we hope that they they were great when he say they were great in a petri dish that we just cannot seem to replicate it consistently in humans right and that's this policy that leads right into the next thing Quran Krishnan is here to explain the real data in the application in humans on what the correct type of probiotic delivery system can do for you I this is you've heard me talk like this for so long as the first time a microbiologist is going to know exactly know your you're right and here's why right this is and I studied this and so I'm really excited to get this kind information out there and very pleased that were teaming up with them for our member box so that we can put the two together and you'll see why they work together but I think it's really cool be sure to like and share the gut check project if there's anything that you want to take away from you today show you can just show the next hour to anybody who's ever been exposed to probiotics ever whatsoever you'll learn a ton I know they cannot both did Chiron is that these amazing he's very intelligent and he's got real data to show something he probably never hit up a lot of right on everybody enjoy will pick it up in about two

promised we are here in San Antonio with Karen Krishnan of micro biome labs makers of mega spore and 35 other private labels right yeah I am a busy this is a busy man yeah got a lot of science behind it is a lot of people that like what they do with probiotics and it's a completely new way of using probiotics can rethink that well what I think for starters I just got a text from your mom did I'm done she's always listening and I will need to apologize to all investors just in case you don't like the sound level it's because I'm doing it and I don't know exactly how the engineer now here's the really really bad engineer Jeff Chef Patrick sorry as best we can do so were over here at the IFN conference in San Antonio and we you and Eric have met before different conferences I love the work that you guys are doing yellow to start with us who are you so we are a band of super nerds that that are battling the revolution that is going on within the right so we we know that and this is a way to explain it to people all the time if you look at the human construct were essentially a microbial system we are the fancy word for it for those I want to impress your friends as holo- bio hello Viola volume we are super organism were no moral can we think of ourselves as a collection of organ systems of the brain and in her lungs and heart and all I connected by neurons and vessels we are a walking talking rain forest is what we are right we are an organism made up of thousands of other organisms that have to work in concert to perpetuate the health of the collective that's what the that's what all environments make it's like a ring for Savior look at a rain forest the canopy the floor every part has a different ecology and if any of those ecologies get damaged the entire ring for sufferers so we can trace back now virtually every chronic disease to some disruption in our ecology so in our thinking we are a microbial construct were made up of microbes we've taken this amazing microbial constructs and we put ourselves in an antimicrobial world like so we've really shot ourselves in the flick like crazy everything around us destroys our inner ecology and that leads to disease somewhere here fighting that whole problem in revolution of bringing back our ecology ecology fixing the rain forest I love that I was taught I was tell my patients about I've never use the word hole while I say multi-bile talk about just your micro biome there's other things going on your exactly what we are do we live for the multi-biome or does the multivolume live for us yeah you know if you look at the evidence and you look the history essentially we are an accident because of the multifile right so even the human cell is constructed of ancient bacteria write the eukaryotic human cell is basically a concert of ancient bacteria which at which make up our what sort I'm having to bring forth the energy production of the sound might've come in my country is so ancient back arrow essentially individual mitochondria that all came together to form a eukaryotic cell building nucleus surrounded also you guys in a way back we were going back to the beginning of time rice like where all of this started from we don't understand that and how do we understand how the lungs and dutiful nice so just going back to the simplicity of it because as it turns out when we start looking at these unique multicellular organisms that we are when where a small population of what's living in the universe are there in the world we don't know what's living Universalist living on earth most of it are single cellular organisms I'm also living entities are single cellular's will relook at multicellular organisms when we look at how multicellular organisms communicate from one cell to the other all of those rules are written by single cellular organisms you know hormones for example most people are surprised to know that our micro biome and the got produces virtually every hormone or endocrine system can make writing all of the serotonin's ANOVA means all of the stress hormones all of insulin estrogen and testosterone all that is made by Mike Bynum as well in the end the thinking is that that our micro biome actually taught our endocrine system how to make those hormones so the bacteria provided the DNA code to our endocrine system to figure out how to make hormones and accurately using hormones for millions of years to communicate with one another and so we now use hormones to communicate with in our body itself this is so fascinating because in my field the micro biome is a relatively new concept in traditional medicine and here you're talking about that the micro bio actually taught our bodies how to organize how to live in the world how to move that is fascinating because what we think about it the way that other people talk about all it's so complex we don't know that you just dumbed it down to you know it's actually so simple visits and darted yeah with just one cell that you follow Mr. I'm following in what I think is awesome is its way it does seem like it is so simple however it's not just the dumbed down version of what you just need some good bacteria is way way way different in that you have to understand I for long time kind of felt like that we are vehicles for this bacteria yeah and everywhere that you go you're basically being driven guy what is indeed the chemical messengers that you referenced we interpret that but is it really completely hours to interpreted not not necessarilyyou know there's evidence of vector making us do things right and and you would think that there is some altruistic reason for them to do it for example there are certain types of bacteria within your my combined that make you more social that make you go out Thanksgiving lead the motivation to go out and meet people and the reason for then you think all why did the back you want me to be more social and that's one of the ways of the transfer from house to house is that if you're not socially antisocial you sit back and back in the Navy set back in your cave all the time by yourself you're really not going up and spreading this Michael this micro bio there are there bacteria out there that connect you change your outlook on life there was a study looking at women who took probiotics versus women that didn't and they took women that the probiotics in the group that didn't and they showed him a bunch of pictures and they were measuring brainwave activity and was showing them like really stressful take pictures things that would bother them normally and they found that the women that took probiotics on a regular basis actually had a less intense emotional response to those pictures so their outlook on life seemed a little bit better than the ones that did you know and so these microbes are dictating a lot of how we even respond to the world around us is fascinating because yes urologist we always I was trying to people to feed their microbiological would eat the diet that your bacteria really should have diverse bacteria and now we have the highest incidence of anxiety of depression mean all were doing is just throwing more and more drugs at it trying to get that to be corrected when the reality is we could balance the bacteria and you know what I really like about this as an excuse for me to go to Vegas with my buddies. Tell me to get out for health that is one of the best places to swap microbial going to Vegas as a sign expression when you all the activ
If you've been listening to the Healthy Skin Show for a while, you've probably heard me talk about my battle with debilitating hand eczema (Dyshidrotic Eczema). This painful condition made me miserable until I was able to put myself into remission. Today's guest is here to share an inspirational story about how she too managed to put her hand eczema into remission. Interested in giving Megasporebiotic a try too? HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN ORDER A BOTTLE My guest today, Nora Ureste, lives in Austin, TX with her husband and two girls. She is passionate about learning everything she can about how the indoor environment can impact human health. This led her to study the principles of Building Biology, and she is currently working towards becoming a certified Building Biology Consultant. Nora has a bachelor's degree in Interior Design from the University of Texas, had a successful career in sales and event planning, and was an Airbnb Host; all of which have prepared her for her current pursuit to design, build, and operate vacation rentals for travelers who are environmentally sensitive. While we are all different and a one-size-fits-all treatment is simply unrealistic, there are still some common threads in trying to heal hand eczema. Hopefully, this episode can give someone struggling some hope and a few useful ideas to try out! Do you have hand eczema? Tell me about it in the comments! In this episode: Nora's hand eczema symptoms Simple, day-to-day activities that Nora could not do because of her hand eczema What the dermatologist recommended What happened when she started taking a probiotic How Nora changed her diet A few things Nora can do now that she couldn't do before Quotes “I really couldn't close my hand without them cracking and bleeding and weeping. They were extremely itchy...I couldn't turn a doorknob. I couldn't pick up laundry...Putting soap on it really burned, so I couldn't use any soap.” [5:04] “I had the MegaSporeBiotic...within two or three weeks, the itching really subsided. And within another month, my hands stopped getting blisters, and stopped weeping.” [7:20] Links Find Nora online Follow Nora on Twitter Click here to try out MegaSporeBiotic

Even if you don't have SIBO, this episode is a must-listen for all women. We get into the nitty gritty of the relationship between hormones and the gut, how your thyroid factors into the equation, and why conditions like Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism become such big risk factors for digestive issues like IBS and SIBO. A big underlying culprit that I talked a bit about in the Rag Time chapter of my book The Wellness Project, but not enough people address, is the pill. Hormonal birth control is a subject that today’s guest is particularly equipped to talk about as it relates to gut health. Dr. Jolene Brighten is a Functional Medicine Naturopathic Doctor and the author of the upcoming book Beyond the Pill, a 30-day plan to support women on birth control, help them transition off, and eliminate symptoms of post-birth control syndrome. A quick taste of what we’ll cover: How hormonal birth control leads to leaky gut Why women are more prone to gut issues Why insufficient thyroid hormone contributes to the risk of food poisoning An overview of your different thyroid hormones and how they work in the body How a SIBO diet dovetails with a diet to support your thyroid The things you should and shouldn’t do to treat your SIBO if you’re a woman with hormone imbalances—including Dr. Brighten’s delicious recipe for a night time tonic for adrenal fatigue And so much more...

Show Summary Karen and Dan have a wonderfully detailed chat about the four pillars of health, sleep being one of the most important, and the one we often don't pay enough attention to. Dan runs the company Ancestral health and helps clients get to the root cause of their illness. He carries out GI Map testing and helps clients understand what may be happenin in the gut, along with the correct protocols to embark upon to start the repair process.

Do you suffer with chronic sinus infections, headaches, body aches, digestive issues or fatigue and no one can figure out what's ailing you? Have you tried a probiotic and you didn't notice any change in your gut health? Or did a probiotic make your condition worse? With so many probiotics on the market it's hard to know which ones are best for you, if they will work and how they even work. Research has shown that the most beneficial probiotics are spore-based probiotics as they are closest to the natural form of probiotics we would get from the soil. Spore based probiotics are considered the regulators of the rest of the gut flora meaning they have the ability to help weed out non-beneficial bacteria and yeast. Combine the regulating effect of spore based probiotics with a gut lining restoration plan and you have a comprehensive program to get rid of leaky gut once and for all. In this episode Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Kiran Krishnan from Microbiome Labs about spore probiotics and the Total Gut Restoration Program that Microbiome Labs offers. What You'll Learn In Today's Episode: Why spore based probiotics can kill other gut bugs How to utilize prebiotics effectively Why you need to neutralize microbial toxins while healing your gut Why the key to gut lining restoration lies in the mucus layer of the gut

MEN on Spore Based Probiotics Imagine you’re making out with somebody, you’re getting into the heat of the moment. But then your mind starts running in all these different areas. You start worrying about—if you’re a guy, you might start worrying about, “Oh, my god. What if I can’t get it up? She’s so hot. I’m totally into this, but what if I can’t get it up?” or, “I have this other thing to do,” or, “Is this the right thing? Should I be doing this?” You’re thinking about work, or you’re thinking about something else. So, that distracted mind is actually a symptom of low levels of acetylcholine, that inability to focus on the task at hand and the inability to get the right neurostimulation to reach the sex organs, and create the hormones—the testosterone, the estrogen, and things like that that are required for heightened sexual experience. So something as simple as acetylcholine deficiency can really shunt your ability to get an arousal. Now, acetylcholine is really interesting because acetylcholine is also produced by gut bacteria. And the metabolism of acetylcholine or choline from your diet into acetylcholine is also the role of the gut bacteria. So of course, get the spore-based bacteria that we talked about and consider consuming a higher plant based diet. That can be the big change that really triggers, makes you horny, and gives you boners. So that’s --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eatplaysex/message
