GUT HEALTH: THE BASICS | Nutrition 101 Ep. 7

[@karihackbarth5222]

Becca, this series is gold. You're videos are incredible. Thank you for taking such an important vast subject and relaying it to us in such an understandable way. Love your channel!

[@karihackbarth5222]

PS. I commented elsewhere on someone else's - but again here. A video id love to see - probiotics - their importance, how to choose a good one, the best way/when to take them, etc.

[@APOrocksmysocks]

This series is excellent! I am so glad to finally find someone that talks about the science behind good and how the body works. It is so refreshing! My hubby was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in May and I swear the combination of his job stress, poor eating habits, and taking antibiotics for an illness combined triggered it. There is so much research that still needs to be done to figure out what causes so many issues, but this type of education is so important! ❤

[@andrewsheppard2404]

Becca this video was phenomenal, I as a dietitian I love the passion you bring to Nutrition. Keep up the amazing work. Subscribed :)

[@erinmacpherson4996]

Becca, I love your videos! I recently learned about the gut brain connection after being diagnosed with post infectious IBS. I’ve had had food poisoning other times and had always recovered normally, but a few months ago I had a bout of food poisoning that left my gut and body in shambles. I went to doctor after doctor and had many tests and finally was told the food poisoning bacteria had damaged this nerve plexus. As a solution the doctor recommended antidepressants to restore the gut brain axis. I learned you have more serotonin receptors in your gut than your brain. However, I did not agree antidepressants were the best option for me due to side effects I’ve had in the past, they may work well for some people but wasn’t worth the long term side effects for me. So I started my own journey and research to heal my gut with many of these things you’ve mentioned - probiotics and diet. I wish I found your video sooner. Also you mention how your gut health effects other things in your body which is definitely true. When my symptoms were at their peak I had trouble sleeping, and many other issues that could not be explained which seemed to improve when my gut improved. And I’m not discounting the opinion of all the MDs I saw, I’ve been an RN for years, but knew the medication route wasn’t the best for me.

[@JulieAziza]

can you share any useful tips which helped you sleep and improve your gut? im having a whole load of issues as well, however mine is more linked to candida, autoimmune, and leaky gut syndrome.

[@sarahdemarrero3520]

I've loved watching this series Becca! Thanks for the time and effort you put into educating us all and hopefully creating a healthier community :)

[@Twilanator]

I just wanted to say you're doing such a good job as a "new" youtuber! Ive been watching your channel from the beginning, as I am a dietetic student at CSUS interested in the topics!! I like when you speak more casually from your own mental knowledge rather than the more scripted pieces of information... keep growing girl, I'll stay tuned

[@josephtein3835]

Great, thoroughly researched and presented, useful information! Good positive presentation style as well. By the way, the word "bacteria" is plural, like virusES or microrganismS. Thanks for the talk!

[@EmilyParrisVideos]

I think the best thing anyone can do for their "gut health" is take out red meat from their diet. Red meat & animal products are known to cause inflammation in the body. I'm not a vegan, or even vegetarian, but I do my best to eat a mostly plant based diet. I was diagnosed in 2013 with Ulcerative Colitis which is an auto-immune disease where your white blood cells attack your lower GI tract.. colon and rectum. In January 2017 things went south really quickly & I ended up having to have my entire colon and rectum removed in emergency surgery because it was tearing open causing me to go septic. I can't help but wonder if I had taken out more animal products if it would have saved this. Of course, I live a healthy normal life without my colon & rectum (half my digestive system). Thank you for spreading the message of health and wellness. We often take it for granted until we no longer have it. I love your channel Becca!

[@henjic1656]

Hi have you ever tried CBD oil? I also have colitis and whenever I have a flare up, I ingest cbd oil. It truly cures all my pain/inflammation, works wonders

[@EmilyParrisVideos]

I wish I could have!!! I live in Ohio and it's illegal here even for medical reasons. I have thought that maybe that could have helped. My GI Dr. told me that "diet has nothing to do with UC, so no I won't give you a referral for a nutritionist." so I doubt he would have been open to it even if it were legal.

[@verastevers5618]

Wow, you have been trough so much, I'm sorry for you :(. Í'm dealing with IBS but thats nothing compared to your story. I wish you the best of luck and health :)

[@CrystalLynn815]

I watched Rotten on Netflix and an allergist on there was talking about why there are so many more severe allergies today than there were even 30 years ago. She said it’s most likely due to a mix of factors: antibiotics (that humans take and in our food), vaccines, living in sterile environments, factory farming, etc. Our immune system didn’t have time to adapt to this modern society. I think the same can be applied to auto immune conditions. It could be from red meat for you, but it could be that so many environmental changes have happened that our immune systems didn’t have time to adapt and went haywire. That’s why allergies and autoimmune conditions have increased exponentially and why there are less autoimmune conditions in less developed countries.

[@SuperCarebear007]

Emily Parris May I ask how it works having your colon removed and eating a plant based diet? I know some fibrous foods and others is hard to eat when not having your entire colon intact.

[@meganfry9475]

I love this series! It’s so helpful to hear information from someone who is reliable! Would you be able to do a video on immunity? I believe that I am fairly healthy in terms of diet, hydration, exercise, and sleep, but I still get sick more often than I’d like. Any tips?

[@Emmybean26]

This was a great video, Becca! Man that stress part really gets me every time. Haven't figured out how to deal with that...Loved how you explained all of this, though...thanks for your expertise.

[@caitlynyoung2374]

Would love if you could do a review of the Plexus Gut Health products to make sure those who take it are actually helping their gut or advice on what one should use instead!

[@keris1935]

Thank you for putting your well earned knowledge to the public to help us!!! You truly are making a difference and give valuable and trustworthy information

[@StephanieBogart]

Oh man, I had listeria from Blue Bell back when they had that listeria outbreak. I was sick for exactly 4 months. June 4th-October 4th. IT WAS AWFUL. I don’t know what I could have done to combat it. Or prevent it again.... This year I started drinking Kombucha which I LOVE. I feel like my digestion is somewhat better.

[@dashacohan8008]

I’ve been binge watching these videos. I’m a Dietetics + nutrition major and I LOVE these videos ❤️❤️

[@katherinearmstrong130]

Another amazing video, Becca. I love this series. I’d love to hear more about the gut-brain connection.

[@adrianaespinoza898]

Liked before even watching, I love you! You are so knowledgeable, repeatable... best youtuber ever.

[@emilyrobertson2704]

Around a couple of years ago my stomach began making loud and embarrassing noises (I know that this is normal digestive behavior) but mine are so frequent and obnoxious it gives me so much anxiety. Does anyone know why this is and what can be done to stop it? I went to my gastro doctor and cant find anything wrong. I took probiotics for a while but haven't seemed to help

[@CrystalLynn815]

Just an FYI, if you have a histamine allergy, fermented foods have a high amount of histamine, so you’ll probably be better off with just the probiotic.

[@mollykate9656]

Should you take a probiotic before or after a meal? Or in between?

[@shreeya1113]

Molly Kate same question

[@verastevers5618]

I was told to take it on an empty stomach, so even before breakfast or right before going to bed.

[@shreeya1113]

Vera Stevers ohh okk

[@shreeya1113]

Molly Kate or before lunch or any food i think

[@verastevers5618]

Yeah that would work as well, but apparently it is better to wait about 30 minutes after taking the probiotic before eating. That's why I like to take them at night.

[@LindyFordNutritionWellness]

Great info, Becca. The more I study, the more I'm convinced it is crucial to good health. It is valid!

[@johannacollins4721]

Hi Becca! Love Your channel! Can you show the vitamins you take/probiotics?

[@AudreyFae]

Hi Becca! Do you take any vitamins? If so, which vitamins do you take?

[@shreeya1113]

Audrey Karlen same question

[@chandemg9963]

Yes, same question! Please

[@GwGW-lp7cc]

Becca, I just ran my first ever 5K on January 1st. Next goal is 10K in June and then half marathon in October;)

[@makeuphappy1]

Gw0708 GW0708 great job ! You got this and what a motivation to strive for a half 👏👊💪

[@jasminek2937]

[@amarantheinwhite]

Jasmine K im late to the party but naturewise is the best tbh

[@AnaCristina-yf4nx]

I loved this video, could you PLEASE bring the skinny on videos back and make one about cheese? ily!! xx

[@emilyduplantis8514]

Becca, I was curious if you heard about essential oils harming cats? I just heard about it recently and haven’t looked that much into it, but I think it’s crazy!!!! Especially after watching you rave about them and how they’re better for you than candles.....

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

Lots of great information! Thank you for sharing :)

[@esthertferguson]

How often do you think that fermented foods should be consumed?

[@heyitsminaa]

For someone who wants to study nutrition/dietitian, what books would you recommend to purchase, that you found the most helpful with info?

[@AlishaZuniga1028]

Becca I really love this series! So much good information. I've been having issues with bloating for years now it literally looks like I'm pregnant that's how round my stomach is and not just after I eat it looks like this all the time and recently I heard about probiotics and prebiotics so I'm going to try taking some and hopefully that helps :)

[@DaisyRhae]

Hi Becca ! can you make a video about Liver Health? And if liver enzymes are high , what to do to lower it ?

[@Kayyy8585]

DaisyRhae Go to a naturopath DR, don’t ask a KZbinr lol

[@bordensmusic]

you make the would a better place. youre an ispirational teacher

[@tatyanabratan5873]

Hey Becca great video! I’m really curious about your take on how enzyme sensitivity/intolerance affects the body and natural ways to help avoid any enzyme imbalance.

[@rcs21]

Can you talk about the DASH diet and its actual effectiveness in lowering BP, cholesterol and sugar? Thanks!

[@littleone2958]

Informative and helpful. Thanks for having such great content!

[@rivawellness1607]

Hi Becca! FANTASTIC VIDEO! You do such a great job of relaying the complex topic of gut health in a simple, understanding way! You're great! 👍

[@alybasansky2552]

I absolutely love your diffuser. Could you please let me know what type it is?

[@makeuphappy1]

Aly Basansky I know I asked that too ! I have to have it !😁

[@anaarevalo3898]

It is the Desert Mist diffuser from Young Living! It's beautiful!

[@JulieDiana1992]

How do you know if your gut flora is off? I didn't know your gut health can effect your brain and anxiety! do you think taking probiotics is a good idea? to see if it makes a difference?

[@SuperCarebear007]

Julie Diana you can do a stool test like the bio health 401 and see if you have bad bacteria, fungus, parasitic infections etc and how you digest foods.

[@SamanthaBrittany]

Can you do a video about gluten intolerant people? About the pros and cons? Your nutritional perspective good or bad?!

[@kaianaturals]

Wow learned so much in this video! Would love to see more. What brand of probiotic supplement do you take?

[@juliojulio5645]

Two random questions.. one, does frozen yogurt still have that live bacteria? And two, are fermented foods vegan? Like think about it 🤔

[@paiiininthebutt7209]

From one Becca to another... thanks!

[@bryanacamillebraxton4770]

Thanks for the info Becca! I Always love this series’ videos. Do you recommend any books to learn about gut health?

[@makeuphappy1]

Is that a oil diffuser I. The clear gold thing behind you on the desk ??? If so please tell me where to get it ? 😁😜 Love all your informative videos and your honesty!💗

[@snickd2213]

This was so fascinating! thanks for sharing, it was really interesting to listen to.

[@cameronheinz3659]

Great info! Love your 101's! How should we eat these gut healthy food? Like something once a day or more a day?

[@debraseiling455]

Thanks for all the information about gut health!

[@missallicat87]

Can you do a video about pregnancy healthy eating? Or do you have that already on ur channel?

[@erikaeighmey4935]

I love your nutrition videos and your channel overall 😊

[@AnaCristina-yf4nx]

Hi Becca! Could you please do a N101 video on Blood Pressure?

[@Amy-yu3bj]

WOW, fantastic video *once again*.....thank you for sharing all your knowledge. This gives me incentive to actually take the probiotic I've had sitting in my pantry. Is there anything to look for specifically in a probiotic?

[@karihackbarth5222]

It would be interesting to have a video about probiotics and what we should look for when choosing one. Good thought amos99!

[@CrystalLynn815]

Amos 99 the one I take has 25 billion bacteria and 10 different strains. Some of the lower quality ones might have a lower amount of bacteria and only 1-3 strains. Also look for the least amount of additives and fillers in the ingredients.

[@heatherchinoski3873]

Great info! Yay YLEO in the background!

[@jacqueline2270]

The link isn't working what last serum do you use pllllsss :)

[@julissapozo9387]

I know what I'm about to ask is not related to the content of this video but I was wondering if you could give me advice regarding taking an intro to chem class or a general chemistry I class. I have not taken chemistry prior to entering college but I am relatively good at math.

[@rocketsoccer1]

i would take an intro class before a chemistry I class if you haven't taken chemistry before. at my college they required an intro chemistry course if you hadn't taken high school chemistry, and I'm glad they did. the math presented in intro chemistry and chemistry I isn't very hard (just basic algebra), but you will be much better off with the concepts in chemistry I if you have taken an intro to chemistry course.

[@romyvera5702]

Another awesome video I love these type of video I am learning so much and thank to u I’m enjoying food more now and I have been intuitive eating for almost a month and a half and I feel awesome and I’m having a better relationship with food thanks

[@insideself1471]

[@MyAppella87]

You should come up with new ideas. They all look the same even thumbnails.

[@tifft7955]

Apple 87 her videos are all entirely new topics each time.... read the title of the video instead of going by the thumbnail

[@naokarina593]

Jesus love you. Come to Him He will give you a new lifestyle.. you will be born again.. just like fresh air. You need first the forgiveness of your sin. You need to recognize that you are sinner and this separated you from God . He want you . He love you❤️

[@Kayyy8585]

It’s gut-brain axis, not “access”. Pretty good video.
