Episode 320 Was Mars once home to alien life? The evidence is stronger than ever, since NASA's discovery of rocks marked by patterns similar to those made by microbes on Earth. Found in an area now named Bright Angel, these rocks give us a tantalising insight into Mars' ancient past - but just how definitive is this finding? It's long been thought that when the Roman Empire withdrew from Britain in the early 400s, the result was chaos and economic collapse. But a new archaeological discovery suggests that's not the case. Signs show a boom in the ancient metalworking trade around that time. Do we need to rethink this period of our history entirely? We're constantly discovering more and more ways to boost our microbiome and improve our health – everything from eating more fibre and fermented foods to having pets and embracing dirt. And now there's something else to add to the list: weight lifting. After being put on a weight training programme, a group of sedentary adults showed a surprising uptick in beneficial gut bugs. But how are the two things connected? Chapters: (00:00) Intro (01:19) Strongest evidence for past life on Mars (14:55) The Romans impact on the British economy (23:19) Link between exercise and your microbiome Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Mike Marshall, Mike Tice and Sanjeev Gupta.

Allergist Tina Sindher acknowledges that allergies may be affecting more people worldwide, influenced by a combination of factors such as environmental changes, modern lifestyles, urbanization, and evolving dietary habits. Prevention is playing catch-up, and promising new strategies include earlier food introduction than was popular only a few years ago. On the treatment front, hopes are rising for immunotherapies and a new prescription medicine, omalizumab, that addresses multiple allergens at once. While no single approach helps all, these strategies could allow millions worldwide to better manage their allergies, Sindher tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast. Have a question for Russ?

 Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes back Jacqui Bryan, a certified nutrition specialist and whole health educator, for an exploration of one of the latest breakthroughs in microbiome research: Akkermansia mucinophila. This episode uncovers why Akkermansia is being called the “hotshot” of gut bacteria and what makes it so vital, especially for those rebuilding gut health after cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Saranne shares her personal struggles with gut recovery as a Stage IV cancer survivor, while Jacqui explains how Akkermansia supports the gut lining, strengthens immunity, and influences everything from metabolic health to mood. With a mix of scientific insight and humor, they highlight practical, food-based strategies to naturally support Akkermansia, caution against unvetted supplements, and stress the importance of collaboration with your medical team.| Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, registered nurse, whole health educator, and health coach. With her extensive experience in functional medicine, Jacqui empowers cancer survivors and others to support their recovery through scientifically backed, food-first approaches. Her dedication to holistic wellness and evidence-based guidance makes her a trusted resource for anyone seeking to optimize their health, particularly after a cancer diagnosis. “If you have low levels of Akkermansia, it can cause the mucus lining of your gut to thin out, which can weaken your overall strength of that gut barrier.”  ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Akkermansia mucinophila is a beneficial gut bacterium that helps maintain the gut's mucus layer and supports immune health.·     Low levels of Akkermansia can weaken the gut barrier, increasing vulnerability to toxins and inflammation.·     Akkermansia influences metabolic processes, including how the body manages sugar, fat, insulin sensitivity, and even weight.·     It is not commonly found in foods or typical probiotics; instead, it naturally occurs in the body's gut lining.·     Risk groups for Akkermansia deficiency include those with obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, gut issues, and cancer survivors.·     Caution is needed with new Akkermansia supplements, especially for immunocompromised people, those with autoimmune diseases, and pregnant women.·     Natural ways to support Akkermansia include consuming polyphenol-rich and prebiotic foods, practicing time-restricted eating, and avoiding excessive sugar, alcohol, and inflammatory foods.·     Consultation with a medical team is critical before making any significant changes or trying new supplements for gut health. 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries across 7 continents and features over 390 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor  Saranne Rothberg.   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

Episode focus: What GLP‑1 actually is (your body already makes it), when/where it's released, why food noise exists, and practical ways to nudge the same mechanisms without a prescription. Listen for: simple definitions, meal/lifestyle plays that boost satiety signals, and a week‑by‑week experiment plan. Quick Summary GLP‑1 (glucagon‑like peptide‑1) is a peptide hormone your gut releases after you eat. It helps meals feel calmer by slowing stomach emptying, supporting insulin only when glucose is high, and signaling the brain to turn down cravings. Release is biphasic (two waves): a quick early wave soon after food hits the upper small intestine, and a later, longer satiety wave 30–120+ minutes after—especially when meals include protein, some fat, and fermentable/viscous fiber. Food noise is multi‑factor: hyperpalatable foods, fast eating/liquid calories, sleep debt and stress, microbiome shifts, and environment/cues. Meds mute it fast; habits keep it quiet. What it is: a gut‑made peptide hormone that coordinates the after‑meal response. Where it's made: special gut cells called L‑cells (mostly in the ileum and colon). When it's released: Early wave: minutes after you start eating. Late wave: 30–120+ minutes later as nutrients and fiber fermentation products reach the lower gut. What it does: Slows the stomach so fuel trickles in (you feel fuller, longer). Supports insulin only when glucose is high (smaller spikes, gentler landings). Signals the brain via the vagus nerve to turn down “keep eating” urges. Why meds feel stronger: prescription GLP‑1s are engineered to last much longer than your natural hormone. Food/lifestyle can raise your own signals but won't extend them like a drug. Why Food Noise Gets Loud (and Stays Loud) Hyperpalatable foods (sweet+fat+salt+crunch) keep reward circuits fired up. Removing them for 7–14 days usually turns the volume down. Sleep debt & stress: more ghrelin (hunger), less leptin (satiety), and higher reactivity to cues. Meal speed & form: soft/ultra‑processed textures and liquid calories outrun gut signals. Microbiome: low‑fiber patterns → fewer short‑chain fatty acids → weaker late satiety wave. Environment: visual cues, routines, social context, alcohol, and easy access keep the cycle going. Food Levers (Evidence‑Aligned, Practical) 1) Protein‑forward meals (especially breakfast) Aim ≥30 g protein. Whey (if tolerated) is a strong pre‑meal option: 20–30 g, 15–30 min before a carb‑heavy meal. Why it works: raises satiety hormones (including GLP‑1 and PYY) and lowers “hunt for more” at the next meal. 2) Viscous & fermentable fibers Viscous (slows the meal): oats/barley (beta‑glucan), legumes, chia/flax, okra, eggplant. Fermentable (late‑wave satiety): beans/lentils; cooked‑then‑cooled potatoes/rice (resistant starch); green bananas/plantains; Jerusalem artichokes/asparagus (inulin). Supplements (optional, measured): Psyllium 5–10 g in 12–16 oz water 10–15 min pre‑meal (start with 2–3 g). PHGG (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) 5–10 g/day (gentle fermentable fiber). Glucomannan or inulin/FOS (build slowly; watch GI tolerance). 3) Some fat with meals Sources: eggs, salmon, olive oil, avocado, nuts/seeds. Why it works: helps release bile and triggers fullness signals; supports slower stomach emptying when paired with protein and fiber. 4) Bitter & spicy nudges (optional) Bitter greens (arugula, radicchio), citrus pith, dark cocoa. Capsaicin (chili peppers) or capsinoids (non‑pungent pepper extracts). Start small to check tolerance. 5) Meal order & pace Water/salad/broth first, then protein + veg, then starch. Minimum 15–20 minutes per meal; chew well. Optional: 1–2 tsp vinegar in plenty of water before higher‑starch meals (skip if reflux or enamel sensitivity). Lifestyle Levers (That Amplify Satiety Signals) Vigorous exercise windows: hard sessions can suppress appetite acutely for 1–3 hours; follow with protein + viscous fiber to extend satiety. Sleep 7–9 hours: normalizes hunger/satiety hormones and reduces cue‑reactivity. Early time‑restricted eating: a daytime 8–10 hour window often eases appetite even at similar calories. Environment design: strip hyperpalatables, reduce visible cues, pre‑portion foods, limit variety within a meal.  

In this episode of The Scope Forward Show, Praveen Suthrum speaks with Cheryl Sew Hoy, Founder & CEO of Tiny Health, a microbiome testing company that's redefining preventive care from pregnancy through infancy. Cheryl shares why the first 1,000 days are critical for lifelong gut health, how restoring beneficial microbes matters more than chasing pathogens, and why over 80,000 families are already turning to Tiny Health for answers. Functional medicine has embraced the microbiome faster than GI — but Cheryl makes the case that gastroenterologists are uniquely positioned to lead this revolution. The question is: will the GI community step up before it's too late?*02:17 - A Founder's Wake-Up CallCheryl's journey began with her own C-section baby — realizing how birth mode, antibiotics, and maternal microbiomes shape a child's lifelong health. This personal story launched Tiny Health.07:17 - 80,000 Families — Real-World ResultsTiny Health has already served tens of thousands. Parents are seeing their kids' eczema, allergies, and gut issues improve after targeted interventions. The results are hard to ignore.10:09 - Traditional Tests Are Missing the PointStandard hospital stool panels chase pathogens. Tiny Health looks deeper — into beneficial functions like butyrate, GABA, and fiber digestion that actually sustain long-term gut health.30:29 - A Paradigm Shift: From Killing to RestoringMost of medicine (and even functional care) is built on killing pathogens. Cheryl flips the script: start by replenishing beneficial microbes, then address the bad actors if needed.32:01 - Functional Medicine Is Listening. GI Isn't (Yet).Most adopters today are integrative and functional practitioners. GIs are still skeptical — but Cheryl's message is clear: when families walk in with data that explains what's happening, GI needs to lead the conversation, not dismiss it.34:23 - Science Is Catching Up, FastMetagenomic sequencing, functional markers, and AI-driven insights are transforming microbiome testing from “hype” to clinical reality. Evidence is mounting, especially in pediatrics.37:10 - Precision Medicine Is HereForget the daily “probiotic for everyone.” The future is testing first, then tailoring — the exact probiotic, prebiotic, or dietary shift each patient needs. That's precision GI care.40:29 - The Longevity ConnectionMayo Clinic has already partnered with Tiny Health. Gut tests are moving into mainstream wellness and longevity clinics. Where will GI stand when patients start asking for them by name?44:27 - Infant Gut = Lifelong BlueprintThe first 1,000 days are destiny. Vaginal birth, breastfeeding, and parental microbiomes set the stage for allergies, asthma, and even chronic disease risk later in life.46:44 - A Call to Action for GastroenterologistsMicrobiome testing is no longer fringe. It's an opportunity for GI to expand its scope, reclaim leadership in gut health, and guide patients with science-backed, personalized care.*#digitalhealth #gastroenterology #thescopeforwardshow #nextservices #gi #future #ai #theshift #microbiome
