Gut Health Expert on How Fiber Optimizes Your Microbiome | Dr. Will Bulsiewicz on Health Theory

[@TomBilyeu]

Which fact about the importance of vegetables surprised you the most? Also don’t forget to come back Saturday for a special episode where I answer all your questions about bouncing back from failure.

[@Musika1220]

Tom, I have a question for you.... don't you go nuts after interviewing all those different "ideology" doctors contradicting themselves? Keto, vegan, paleo, plant-based, carnivore, eat 6 meals a day diet, intermittent fasting ... all stating different studies... cherry-picking all their stuff?! Who to believe? At the end of the day, we do what's best for us for our lifestyle and preferences.

[@TomBilyeu]

@@Musika1220 Our understanding of any subject is extremely limited and constantly evolving. We should endeavor to learn and experiment what each expert says and determine what works best for you. Nutrition and ones personal relationship with food is jus that, personal. What may work for many may not be right for another. The basic truths remain the same, eat well, drink water, and get good sleep. The specifics is where you should experiment to discover what you need to feel your best.

[@TheListener01]

Tom, love the work you do but maybe a little piece of constructive criticism, it’s really hard to buy one of your sponsors-like thryve when it’s even said here that there is no way to know if those test are accurate @ 26 mins in, you may have a little money to throw away on those test that may or may not be accurate but I’m pinching pennies trying to get out of college debt, pay off the mortgage, get a vehicle that won’t break down and maybe I can use to have some fun outdoors on the weekends

[@TheListener01]

On another note-hopefully less annoying than my last shitty opinion above. I wonder what Dr B would think about epsom salt baths-often called sensory deprivation tank- which have so many other benefits than just sensory deprivation-soaking in magnesium sulfate & allowing the body to take in as much as it needs through the largest organ in the body for digestion, sleep, depression & so many other benefits. I’ve heard medicine can be absorbed through skin. Please tell me if you believe/heard otherwise. Interesting research about the reaction from the skin to the environment triggers some of those epigenetics that are talked about here, the skin organ is so powerful. We have an extremely smart organ controlling internal functions based on the external environment. Just another wonderful thing we don’t give enough credit to in my stupid opinion

Watching Wim Hoff in an interview, he comes across as a nut job, IMO. But I'm hearing/reading more & more that cold exposure, specifically, is very good for our mitochondria & for longevity. I re-watched a David Sinclair interview ( I greatly respect SInclair's science-based knowledge on increasing longevity) - I just watched his interview on IT, again - and am more convinced than ever that Cold Exposure is the way to go. Problem IS, I completely crumble at the thought of a damn cold shower, though.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

Disappointed that the issue of animal protein - especially increasing quality protein as we age for muscle maintenance- never came up! I am against vegan now, as WAS one for 6 years. Ended up Insidiously over time losing muscle mass but not really noticing until I DID...and oh, sh*t I'm headed for sarcopenia. And I DO exervise...big exercise buff - but still...skinny fat. So, was WOKE - - about increasing my Quality (think animal protein), from a Dr. Gabrielle Lyon interview right here on IT. Immediately felt better, still feel great 8 mos. later now. I LOOK better, have more energy, no longer 'skinny fat'. I live veggies, and still do eat alit of veggies, and also fruits. So, now with THIS interview, I'm just SO confused, but also very disappointed that the subject of increasing 'quality' protein as we age (40 Y O & up), that part did not come up at all. Btw, I am of tge belief that it's impossible to get the amount of quality 'complete' protein we need, for our muscles, as we age with veggies, fruits and grains, legumes.

[@gabrieltorres5732]

I am confused as well, I just changed to a Carnivore diet but I get some fiber from nuts. I But there are days that I don’t consume any nuts and I don’t have any gut problems, in fact there is evidence showing that meat heals. He does mention Omega 3’s but you really have to eat a lot of nuts to get some while eating a lil bit of sardines is way superior for Brain growth. Though I believe in the Microbiome I feel that all plant based diet can only go so far until you realize that you need more protein. Like you said when you get older you need more protein and animal meats and their organs hold the nutrients we need. I’m 40 years old and I feel like I’m in my 20’s again when going all animal products for nutrition.

[@adamj2683]

So because YOU didn't eat enough protein and YOU didn't do enough weight training, you decided that paying people to enslave and slit the throats of sentient beings so you could eat their corpses was the solution? If someone is eating a lesser quality vitamin that doesn't absorb as well as other forms, they just need a larger quantity of it. If someone is doing an exercise routine that isn't as efficient at working out their muscles, they just need a larger quantity of it. If someone only has lesser quality shirts and it's pretty cold out, they can put more of them on. Just eat more plant protein. If your body needs 100gram of protein eat 120gram plant protein. And do weight training. Problem solved.

My only underlying condition is the intelligence to know what works for me. As for Adam J, I believe he does have an underlying condition.... It's called 'stupidity'...but then I digress. Thanks for defending me, though Stefan...I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop - I'm sure you will be called a few choice names, and/or sustain who-knows-what weirdo accusations...but I'm sure it will be pretty entertaining if Adam does decide to answer your comment 😀

QUESTION: when attempting to get 30 various plant-based foods each week, do you need to eat a whole serving of each particular food? Also,if you eat a variety of nuts, does each type of nut count as a different plant-based food?

[@nledelnr]

For most of human evolution our diets were limited to the regional seasonality of food. It is counter intuitive to say that more variety is better. Too many Phds. Not enough ancestral wisdom.

[@Cryderbot]

read the book and he mentions that the gut adapts to diet. The Hunza People are a case study that shows that their biome changes from season to season because of the food they eat. His critique is that the Standard American Diet is actually quite limited.

Tom's my spirit animal and idol Thank you for all that you do and the people you attract 😎

[@sparkleinco2035]

another great and helpful interview. Keep it up.

[@fbmw98]

I always think that things that I eat affect my mood, surprised that it's true.

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

Absolutely! And on the flip side, things that you don't get enough of can also influence your mood! For example, Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause depression! Luckily, nutrition can help! Animal products are a good source of B12, but if you don't eat those, good vegan sources include nutritional yeast and mushrooms!

[@Headth]

38:04-38:43 Priceless. Love Tom's reactions to unbelievable facts! 😂

[@christianthames2302]

He mentioned a specific prebiotic fiber for building butyrate at around 34:30. Does anyone know which one he's talking about?

[@electrodeboy]

What was that bit about resolving trauma? How do you do that?

[@2000xlt]

On the topic of gut health and antibiotics, could I get a suggestion on what could be an optimal thing to do to consume to help rebuild after the antibiotics are finished.

Stop promoting yourself using stupid motivational quotes on someone else's channel. Cringe

[@MyLongevityExperiment]

@@aoutsky 👍

[@portiasnyder1812]

Just subbed your channel it looks interesting 👍👍👍

[@AhmetKaan]

@@portiasnyder1812 hey, I appreciate that! 🙂

[@lindamills9820]

What fiber supplement does Dr B recommend? Sorry if I just missed it.

[@MrNastyPenguin]

Same question

[@greyscapes4119]

I've heard him mention in other interviews that he uses acacia fibre in his coffee

[@HealthyLife4Me]

Tom is right!! Removing my 84 year old mom from meat consumption 5 years ago reversed all of her chronic illnesses (heart disease, diabetes, hypertension). She is now super healthy, lean and prescription drug free going on 5 years after going plant based...Animal flesh rots in your colon where disease starts. Yes, our ancestors consumed meat, but didn’t have cell phones, TV’s etc. I’ve been plant based for over 20 years and love it! I have the most energy in gyms and I’m lean and fit same as my mom

[@mathieuparadis8768]

What’s the prebiotic fiber supplement are you using?

[@luciaseacreature8705]

i love lentils but panuts legumes beans are considered by some cultures in dietary world to be toxic and also not low carb... beans and peanuts are considered really toxic... sorry but i missed it or never heard mentioned about kimchi sauerkraut and fermented foods

[@portiasnyder1812]

Omg you have on the best people to interview 👍👍👍👍 love love love your channel 👏

[@Joseph1NJ]

I'm struggling with his need for prebiotic fiber supplements. Especially for an active 40 year old vegan.

[@zuzanalinduskova8320]

Really great interview 🙏💚

[@Dhspat]

Great video. ☘️☘️☘️

[@shinebrightandbethelight]

Which fiber is a the best to add to our diets? Psyllium husk?

[@justmusic1427]

Exactly! Fiber feeds our gut microbiome. And we need to increase our intake of fiber! All Plant! There is no fiber in animal products. In my professional opinion, that's where it's at, and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz said it! Thank you, Dr Will!

[@lorraineferguson231]

excellent video! all the questions answered that I was wondering about too. thank you so much!

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

If you found this video fascinating, you may also want to know the indicators of a healthy gut! They are: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!

[@kamarifit]

Awesome show, had to make a hard stop at the FMT discussion tho

[@brianfegan3552]

Amazing and Brilliant interview

[@victoriaborte2978]

I was told if I have arthritis I shouldn’t eat nightshades etc. would I be able to eat these if I’m plant based?
