I love your podcasts so much. I do pretty consistent fasting routines and find it really helps my gut. I’ve tried carnivore a few months when I was having some health issues and that restriction definitely had positive effects and I slowly incorporated certain veggies/ fruits back. I do find if I eat similar foods consistently my body functions very well compared to what It used to. Cutting back drastically on processed foods definitely helps as well. If it wasn’t for all your information you are willing to put out I just really don’t know how down hill my body would have went. You are so much appreciated! 🙏🏼

Good guest; I look forward to seeing a follow-up interview as his research progresses. Glad Dr. Rhonda suggested studying the effect of stevia, monk fruit and erythritol o the gut microbiome. Eager to hear the results.

[@xDomGrox]

Am I the only one who thinks there is very little practical information? Its all very technical and he goes deep into some of the mechanisms how things work. Its "nice to know stuff". But he didn't really give any real life advice on what foods tend to be good for most people or at what times it is good for most people to eat. He even says fiber is good in general, but not all fiber, is equal without even mentioning which foods tend to have "good" / "bad" fiber.

[@dianal.1279]

I agree with you. That's how real research works, though. When you see people saying consume this, or that, this one thing will make you live longer, avoid cancer, etc, this isn't science. Some people extrapolate from science and come with exaggeration. They're the ones selling books, supplements... easy to recognize. Even sensible, serious scientists are getting on the bad band wagon of exaggeration to make profit. Sad.

[@xDomGrox]

@@dianal.1279 I disagree. You can recommend things without selling supplements or books. Rhonda and Doctors/Researchers recommend things like Sauna, cold showers, Vitamind D, Omega 3 and healthy foods all the time. His recommendation was something like: "A lot of what your grandma said is true." Yeah, that true research... I rather had the feeling he didn't want to recommend anything, so people will buy his book or use the app.

[@OmaKahn]

@@xDomGrox Well we cant know for shure, but i dont share the feeling that he held information back to sell us anything. I think he was rather cautious to recommend anything because there is so much we dont know yet. I was somewhat disappointed too about the fact that there was so little practical information, but that's what it is. I think it's quite honest to leave it at that. Hope there will be more "useful" information in the near future :) it's SO confusing atm!

[@xDomGrox]

@@OmaKahn Whats the point of doing this kind of research, if he can't give practical information or lifestyle advice? I don't know how long he is researching this topic, but it is at least 5-10 years. You can't tell me he can't recommend any foods, herbs, spices or anything that is good for most peoples microbiome.

[@sarahzastrow1616]

@@xDomGroxthough I too wish there were more, there were a few takeaways: Environment/lifestyle is a much bigger factor for healthy gut microbiome than genetics (awesome because we can take things into our own hands.) People who are living in extremely poor areas that eat basically the same thing everyday had the most diverse microbiome.. I think this is due to so much skin/soil and skin/animal interaction, no hand sanitizer!!!(and over disinfecting/soap in general), literally zero emulsifiers/food dye/stuff that prolongs shelf life in food, I assume less plastics that end up in the body (for sooo many reasons from food/beverage/cosmetics/etc.), on average people sleep with more "normal" wake-sleep cycles unlike countries where we stay up all night watching Netflix/working/partying. They do more NEAT (non exercise activity thermogenesis). And of course, with medicine/doctors not as available, babies who have abnormalities or pregnancies with complications are less likely to carry all the way to birth which is sort of its own natural selection as harsh as that sounds. We can increase our next generations microbiome by letting them get dirty, touch animals, eat some dirt, and not over disinfecting their environment. Of course also feed them a healthy diet and get them active. Grapefruit have some beneficial compounds for healthy fat metabolism (even though it takes much, much more for some people- I totally bought a grapefruit lol). A big reason why the yo yo dieting weight regain affect occurs is our microbiome. And we can indeed change it! In my opinion this is a solid reason to diet with healthy foods instead of simply relying on a caloric deficit. Obviously calories are the most important factor in weight loss/gain, but if we can focus on making sure we're also choosing healthy options instead of simply low calorie options we may have better long term outcomes! I'm sure there's more I've missed. Possibly part of why the conversation went the way it did is to remind us that people who "have all the answers" for what to eat to diversify the gut microbiome are probably full of it. Also he may not want to give recommendations because he really sees how important the individual responses/needs are. I'm a personal trainer and I hate giving blanket recommendations because I see sooo much value in personal approach for success.

The adult human body has about 5 pounds of friendly flora gut bacteria that represent about 80 percent of the immune system function when this friendly flora microbiome bacteria is functioning well supported by the correct diet of the host. Of course, this is today easier said than done when we consider all of our food distractions and real addictions including wrongful food choices that harm the diversity of the intestinal tract. I feel it is wise today to eat what your ancestor's forefathers ate in the season when by default every food was organic as nature intended it to be. You can compare your microbiome to the topsoil of this good earth. If the nutrient is not found in the soil for example vitamin B-12 then it will be not found in the food that is growing in such soil that is missing essential elements treated with sterile fertilizers that contain limited elements for fertilization. When our body dies and decomposes we actually become part of the soil and I see this in my garden every day when composting and seeing small mammals .amphibians , reptiles, and insects decomposing into my fertile topsoil. The pre-biotics of dietary fiber is so essential to support the pro-biotic life inside the intestinal tract every day throughout one's life. To avoid the symptoms and intestinal malfunction of the intestinal tract called Metabolic Syndrome that will cause all kinds of bodily symptoms unexplained to your MD would have normally materialized over weeks or even months of wrongful eating drinking and living a wrongful lifestyle. The first sign of metabolic syndrome is the lack of not having at least one bowel movement every day of your life. Your weight distribution is extremely important as well . If you carry a large belly this is most likely a sign of a lot of unwanted visceral fat around your liver and other organs including your pancreas from eating way too much-cooked food. Basically depending on where you live my recommendation is to support your local organic farmers in season including farmers' markets and to diversify your food intake by learning to prepare your own meals like what are ancestors' forefathers have been doing for millions of years before our time. Many thin edible skins must be eaten as this is a very important pre-biotic food for the probiotic-friendly flora bacteria that resides in your intestinal tract. Thank you SEAWEED is so essential to support metabolism and health for your thyroid gland located at the base of your neck an organ that regulates your hormones . 4 Sea vegetables on rotation must be introduced into your diet plan and we can learn this from Japan and the BlueZones the longest living people in the world at this link www.bluezones.com 5 - Yes Insulin excess is not good for the body to control and to lose weight from my research on KZbin. And yes include your dietary fiber-rich foods from organic sources only or at least your first choice . 6 - Yes SLEEP sound and complete is so essential for the regulation of your metabolism. Learn on KZbin to regulate your circadian rhythm and you will be so glad that you did. The SAD standard American Diet is frightfully deficient in Green Leafy greens that supply the essential mineral Magnesium and the water-soluble vitamins C and the fat-soluble vitamin called vitamin K-1 ............... Yes, Morning Hydration is so very important and I use vegetable broth and herbal teas water, and other beverages including my famous bio-hack green herbal coffee straight from our organic garden. Yes, plant-based eaters must include vitamin B-12 Nutritional Yeast. Intermittent Fasting is essential as well. Consume the Nature made fats and avoid the big food giant industry process fake fats that will damage you internally and wreck up and slow down your metabolism. 7- Yes intermittent impact exercise taken outside with deep slow breathing through your nose only will increase essential NO NITRIC OXIDE as a gas that opens up your arteries for heart health and for boosting your metabolism.

Also, if I diet and construct the macro ratio so that it is biased towards fat as opposed to carbs (even complex) I will do better.

[@jimbeaver27]

well one thing fats do is tell the gall bladder to dump bile therefore killing off many small intestinal bacteria, so fats definitely affect the micro biome, this is the normal function and why eating lots of good fats keep reduces SIBO, eating lots of carbs kind of spoils the function encouraging SIBO and bad bacteria, carbs are less satiating because they are addictive, encouraging you to eat more and more... fat does not do that

[@davidlohrentz752]

Regarding the study cited at 1:10 on "Personalized Gut Mucosal Colonization ..." that showed that about half of the individuals responded to probiotics, while the other half did not, I am curious how long they followed this, and might it have ultimately changed if extended far enough, or is it the case that some individuals will just never respond to certain probiotics? The Sonnenburgs talked about it taking years to shift the microbiome, and that has been my N of 1 experience. Two years ago, I had to avoid high fiber foods such as burdock root; after banging away with higher and higher fiber and daily intake of sourkraut, kefit, natto etc, now I can stomach about anything. It was a very gradual change, that took many months.

[@MT-sq3jo]

Your experience seems to be consistent with the observation mentioned by Dr. Elinav that obese people retain their micro biome composition for a very long time after their initial weight loss, and therefore tend to regain the weight soon after ending their diet (yo-yo obesity). I’d say Persistence and taking a gradual approach is the key if one wants to correct any food intolerance (or autoimmune related gut malady) by slowly cultivate and nurture the good bacteria until they find a foot hold in the system.

My loved one who has bounced from one drug to the next, unsuccessfully, now battles many hunger problems from not able to eat, to ravenous, obviously a permanent effect.

This is a fascinating area of study and likely connects with others that you have explored in multiple podcasts. In the case of changing our microbiome to a healthier one is sustainability. Once you introduce the healthy microbiome will changing the food intakes to match that of the healthy donor be enough to sustain it or will other changes be necessary such as the composition of the epithelial cells in the gut?

In my opinion, feeding your microbiome is more important and way more effective than simply adding a few more organisms via probiotic consumption. Not that its wrong, but i wouldn't depend on it as the sole strategy. So regarding what you asked, prebiotics are basically fibers, therefore consuming fiber rich foods is highly recommended while at the same time limiting refined/processed ones. So focus on whole plant foods (whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables.. etc). Even spices such as turmeric and ginger as well as green tea have shown beneficial effects on the microbiome. Omega3s also, so make sure you eat oily fish or take supplements. So to sum up, load up on whole plant foods, spice things up, cover your omega3s needs, and I personally think lowering the consumption of meat and dairy is of importance too (in terms of gut leakiness).

So he's saying eating prebiotic and fermented foods may not change gjt microbiota is some individuals? What about the Stanford July 2021 study where they found fermented foods lowered inflammation?

[@brothercaleb]

He mentioned that the effect is individualistic. It works well in some individuals and not so well in others.

But after her rectal surgery went bad her mental health got worse which I believe is shriveled up intestine worsening leaky gut symptoms with severe anxiety and depression medication abuse. I seeking help to solve this. Anyone with some knowledge please help. I know collagen and l glutamine helps and leaky gut diet but what else and how do I talk to her to follow a leaky gut diet? Please message me back if you think you can help and give more details, thankyou.

Have you tried k2?

[@loganlangston5250]

@@davidford8539 intermittently. I used a D & K dropper. What are you recommending and the basis behind it. Id love to hear.

[@davidford8539]

@@loganlangston5250 I know someone with gerd, who went on a d3 plus k2 supplement and the gerd went away….could be coincidence, but nonetheless I thought I would mention it, in case it does in fact help.

This is quite frustrating, same situation with the question regarding effect of fasting on microbiom...the answer he gave...was technically no answer!!

[@ljpop8888]

I agree

[@quuqeemonster]

But you don't discuss the elephant in the room! People get very hungry after weight loss and eat more...! It is not as if they are eating the right amount of calories when they regain.

Amazing questions by Dr Rhonda Patrick and amazing answers by Dr Elan Elinav, especially the leaky gut microbiome. I am always on the lookout for research on this. I have coeliac disease, so it helps to understand. Also keeping the gut healthy is the most important issue to avoid cancel, alzheimer, brain disfunction, diabetes, cardiovascular problems etc. I do intermittent fasting. However fasting is proving difficult at the moment.
