I look to max my butyrate production by (1) putting resistant starch powder, inulin powder, and psyllium husk flakes (all pre-biotics) in yogurt twice a day; (2) sauerkraut twice a day; and (3) many diff veggies at lunch and dinner. #1 is an easy way to greatly increase probiotic fiber amounts.

[@ModernHealthspan]

Hi Terry, thanks for sharing. That looks very thorough!

[@susanwright1999]

Did you explode.

[@Movie2Documentary]

​@@susanwright1999twice a day me thinks

[@Scottlp2]

Taking butyrate and resistant starch (green banana powder) along with sauerkraut juice (?postbiotic) has been a huge help to my gut dysbiosis.

[@peacekeepermoe]

AOR (Advanced Orthomolecular research) have a 'Probiotic 3' supplement that has a bacteria species 'Clostridium butyricum' (plus 2 other species) that is supposed to make butyrate in your colon. I think it is helping with gut dysbiosis and with energy too. Maybe you should try that also :)

[@ModernHealthspan]

Hi Scott, thanks for sharing. Glad to hear that it is working for you. I am mostly using psyllium husk but might try green banana powder.

[@Scottlp2]

@@ModernHealthspan It may be individual. I was on a decade of antibiotics as a child and wound up with what is probably constipation type (methane ?) SIBO. Years before I found out all this info I noticed that flaxseed helped my constipation whole all other fibers including psyllium didn’t (least by them self).

[@euanmclaughlan2823]

Thanks Richard great guest, there are lots of great micro biome science coming out emphasising the importance of fibre. IMHO there is far to much focus on protein these days not enough on fibre, most people in the west are fibre deficient but it is very rare to be protein deficient. Eat more fruits and veg and whole grains and the resistance starch will reward you and your overall health.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks gents.

[@rayyu8538]

Another great guest, Richard. I'm considering whether I should switch white rice to resistant starch for a while. This series helps!

[@ddutton4716]

If anyone out there wears a Continuous Glucose Monitor, I would check out some resistant starch substitutions and see what happens and get back to us. Check with your endocrinologist first of course if you use insulin or anti-diabetic medication.

[@Aspersat]

Why does measuring bloodsugar peaks after eating freshly cooked and cooled down potatoes not give a different peak then .. there is no measurable differense in blood glucose behaviour.. same with rice..

[@houndofzoltan]

What's nato?

[@miriamvazquez7488]

Can he give us scientific researched data?

[@linda7279]

Yeah...God said herbs are our medicine first...How did He know without asking some man??

[@arhu74]

Butyrate, does that name remind you of butter? That's because it was discovered in butter, so rather than letting all these resistant starches rot in your colon, you can let the ruminants do it for you and then just eat butter. No point in flatulence and bloating

[@jennysiepka9900]

if you can eat 2 sticks of butter a day to get sufficient butyrate then you are good to go:)

[@vilrugan]

I agree, I am an extra low carb carnivore & I eat butter. Also I am suffering from IBS & H Pylori, the diet helped me a lot.

[@davidmead6337]

The Ayurvedic treatment I had years ago for Ulcerative Colitis included Ghee as being a very important part of my diet. Ghee is the oil fraction of butter which anyone can make at home from Organic-no salt butter. I continue to ingest Ghee as part of my anti-inflammatory dietary process. Diet in the Ayurvedic programme works together with times of quiet and times of expenditure of physical energy along with diet and trusting yourself. I was trained as a medical doctor in the '70's. No training about what goes into this complex physical being.

[@Battery-kf4vu]

Is there a bacteria that can boost B12 in such a way that we don't need to take B12 supplements on a diet with no meat? B12 supplements are not too healthy, they can cause certain cancers and may accelerate DNA methylation. There's a bacteria that can increase B9, which has been discussed in a previous video. I did some reading on it, I saw that it might increase B12 but it is not sure.

[@abdelilahbenahmed4350]

Battery9876_ I would be grateful if you cite some scientific research showing that Vitamin B12 supplements can cause certain cancers or accelerate DNA methylation.

[@ModernHealthspan]

@@abdelilahbenahmed4350 You could look for this study Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 Supplementation and the Risk of Cancer: Long-term Follow-up of the B Vitamins for the Prevention of Osteoporotic Fractures (B-PROOF) Trial.

[@ModernHealthspan]

Hi Thanks. I would need to look into that. I think Prof Damman said it was one of the outputs from resistant starch fermentation, but I don't know which bacteria produces it.

[@Battery-kf4vu]

@@abdelilahbenahmed4350 It is this one: Effect of adding B-vitamins to vitamin D and calcium supplementation on CpG methylation of epigenetic aging markers They tested a combination of high doses B6-B9-B12. If we manage to have enough B6 and B9 on a diet with reduced animal foods, perhaps we would need only a small dose of B12 supplement, and that would be acceptable for DNA methylation, don't know. In this study that was discussed in this channel: Potential reversal of epigenetic age using a diet and lifestyle intervention: a pilot randomized clinical trial. You can read the paragraph: Rationale for not using supplemental methyl donor nutrients You'll have all the sources regarding potential effects of B12 supplements on cancer. Perhaps it'd be an idea to follow their diet, but it has lot of animal foods like liver, so it's likely to increase IGF-1 and MTOR.

[@abdelilahbenahmed4350]

@@ModernHealthspan thx Richard for this valuable information. My level of vitamin B12 is in the optimal range. So no need for me to supplement with vitamin B12. Safety first.Although they say that vitamin B12 is water soluble and the excess is always eliminated by the body , actually it's apparently not true, and David Sinclair reached the level of 1483 pg/ml while according to the Lab where he did his blood tests, the normal range for vitamin B12 is 200-1100 pg/ml and the optimal range is 300-645 pg/ml.therefore he stopped taking vitamin B12.

Simple answer: don't eat starches and get butyrate fron butyr ( butter)

[@christopherbrand5360]

Butter is not simple! You need cows and all of the agriculture and industrial processes to produce and transport and distribute it. Eating plants that contain fiber IS simpler and a healthy gut microbiome does a lot more beneficial things than just short-chain fatty acids. And your microbiome is a lot easier to take care of than cows.

[@jefflittle8913]

I don't think that is the correct answer, though. Fiber is extremely healthy. If you are worried about starches you should first consider that glucose is the brain's favorite food source by far and it uses up up to 40% of our calories, unless you need ketogenesis to fight epilepsy. If you are worried about weight gain, then I guess starch is like democracy - the worst possible choice except for all the other options.

[@ModernHealthspan]

Hi Christopher, thanks for sharing. I don't think that there is much butyrate in butter and there is a lot of other fats. (Whether they are "good" or "bad" fats is open to debate). Fiber also has many other benefits.

[@christopherellis2663]

@@christopherbrand5360 You obviously have not tried growing your own food, versus letting animals do their own thing.

[@rfbead321]

@@christopherbrand5360 Plants are loaded with glyphosate in America. Good luck with that and your microbiome.

[@richardbray8004]

As i understand it, don't gorillas eat their poop in order to get this benefit from microbes?

[@ModernHealthspan]

Hi Richard, thanks for sharing. I did not know that but a quick search shows that they do. I am not sure that we know why this behaviour developed.
