Let me ask you this -- “Where do you get your fiber?” If your first answer is Metamucil or any other supplement, keep watching, Please.
So many of us have what is known as a “carcinognenic microbiome.” That’s even awful for me to say, but it’s true...Many people are walking around with a gut filled with cancer-promoting cells. Not only is this leading to so many of the preventable chronic lifestyle diseases, but also debilitating mental and cognitive issues...depression, alzheimers, anxiety... What you eat affects how you feel.
My friends - we can do something about this...We don’t want to depress you with this information, but INSTEAD, provide simple solutions to reclaim your health and live optimally.
...And that’s why Dr. Desmond is back today - to continue to help you understand the importance of your gut microbiome and the massive impact it has on all aspects of your life. Are you ready??

I bought his book, it's wonderful!

Thank you for (Part 2) with this inspirational physician, Dr. Alan Desmond. His talk brings the plant based diet to another level of health. The gut bacteria's effect on physical health is amazing. I don't feel most physicians have any training in this area! Another great interview from the PLANTSTRONG podcast. Thank you Rip! 🥦🥕🍓🍊🍉🍎🍅🌶🍄🌽🥝🍆🍌

What a concept? Talk to people about food! LOL! It's so ridiculously simple, basic, and logical. Thank you for making it plain.

Glad it was helpful!

Dr Ess says No oils BUT the BUDWIGS program calls for flaxseed oil and flax seeds and has a high rank for curing diseases like CANCER... Is there anything anyone can say about this good or bad yes or no right or wrong. 🙏 Thx 🙏

[@susans.794]

I've been listening to Jonathon Otto and Dr Kahn (Health Secret) who speak about heavy metals and parasites. They say how important it is to flush the gut and colon cleanse with their herbal treatment. I follow a Plantstrong diet and focus on high fiber but still wonder if this gut flush is necessary?

How do you test the microbiome for health?

[@yvonneraley3050]

Cookery!!

How long does it take for a bad gut to do a 180?

Depending on what is wrong, you may need medical intervention. Check out gojiman's channel.

It took a while for me to iron things out. The more green leafies you eat, the faster it will get better and more weight you will release. The more other veggies you eat, the more your health will improve and weight you will release. The more other plants you eat (fruits, whole grains, and legumes), the faster all your health issues will improve. Make sure to drink plenty of water when you up your fiber. But...if it took 30-40 years to get into bad shape, it might take more than a few minutes to get well. Be patient. When your gut isn't holding onto so much gunky toxic poop, your happiness quotient will increase. This helps as the other health issues resolve. You will be amazed if you give it a few weeks.

Question. "Diversity of plants in your diet", does this infer that we should have a variety of plants, or can one achieve the same benefits as people who ingest the same "plants" repetitively? Personally, I have a very narrow list of plants I enjoy.

[@sowmindful1501]

Same ol’plants, same ol’microbiome. I’m sorry you’re struggling to find plants you enjoy eating, there are millions to choose from. Best of luck on your Whole Food Plant Based Journey!

[@Engine2PlantStrong]

^^This answer is spot on @Misty Girl. You should really strive to diversify the plant-based foods you eat to yield the greatest benefits. Thanks for watching the show!

Is it possible to reverse damage to liver from NASH by eating plant based? I am having difficulty finding information from plant based physicians so I’m hoping with Dr. Desmond being a Gastro MD, he can assist me.

[@LaLayla99]

I know I'm responding a year later, but if you're still needing assistance, you may be interested in Dr Brooke Goldner's disease reversal protocol. Her channel is "Goodbye Lupus". It isn't only for that, tho. She healed herself from that, so it's her story, but she's helped thousands of people heal their chronic illnesses, of all types. 🙂
