After 11 years of MS, and it entering the progressive stage ... I turned it AROUND by minding my gut, mitochondria... yeast lol. I didn’t realize I’d EVER ever change depression and anxiety ... everything has changed and I’m sad I wasted so much time. But HALLELUJAH to waking up and walking again at 45! PS- Three years and not a single drug for MS, for depression, anxiety... for anything 🤗🥬🤘🏻

Top 3 tips for gut?

[@Dlayne84]

@@Exodus26.13Pi weed. Seed. Feed. Think if your gut like a garden. You don’t just go buy seeds and plant them. You prepare the soil, get the bad out, feed it good nutrients... your gut needs the same care! Probiotics are great but you must get the bad fungi out. Candida overgrowth causes many issues! Get a probiotic with a antifungal like chitonase. Think if it like maybe Pac-Man in your gut. Oxygenated magnesium - gently cleans your gut. Like scrubbing bubbles. Look up “magnesium deficiency” and all magnesium does in our bodies. If you’re magnesium deficient, you’re already starting at a deficit. PreBiotics and blood sugar regulation are key to having a balanced gut!

[@krishnabanerjee1307]

I am a physician, working in a cancer care foundation in a developing state in India. I don't know how to react. It's wonderful to be enlightened from this podcast. I have something to say here. My grandfather was a village physician, used to treat cholera small pox epidemic in British era with biochemic medicines and diet modification. The diet I learned from my grandmother is full of probiotic which the modern research is exploring and highlighting. It's sad that westernisation and industrialisation has destroyed our system, developed hatred and disbelief towards our own system. Britishers colonised the world and destroyed the ecosystem of the world for their greed, made the human race greedy. Now the indigenous people are rampantly destroying the world. This greedy behaviour has gained a tremendous momentum and going back to nature is next to impossible now. All you people are telling, we have seen practical application in our villages. I feel it is the responsibility of the west to teach the world the right kind of behaviour and restore the ecosystem of the world. Unfortunately our voice is to feeble to reach to the ear of the pesticides maker, weapons makers of the world.

I’m just so grateful that my now non-vegan sister turned me onto the plant-based lifestyle back in my 20s. Over 60 and always enjoyed perfect health and weight. Such a no brainer if you listen to the science.

I was severely allergic to gluten.....people told me it was a gut health issue and at the time 7 years ago I blew them off. Then, after a couple years of being raw vegan, this allergy was completely gone. And it was HORRIBLE any time I would have gluten after removing it. Completely healed from all the plant foods I ate and now eat. Completely healed. So now I absolutely believe it was a gut issue for me.

IT WORKS!!! I am on 40g fibre a day for the past 2 months - I seem the happiest and most energetic person in my circle of friends and family! it is fantastic. Thanks Rich from Germany

[@charliehobson33]

[@chleoi4160]

How can you get so much fiber, what are you eeeeating??

[@immers2410]

Is that through food or psyllium?

[@Test-eb9bj]

@@chleoi4160 Easy when you eat plant based and minimally processed: 1tblsp of chia seeds & flax seeds (ground) = 3.5 g of fibre each. 1 pear & 1 large carrot add another 4.5 g of fibre each. 50g (! only)of raspberries (frozen) = 2 g of fibre. 1 slice of whole spelt or rye bread = 3g and 50g of dry/uncooked whole wheat pasta (e.g. Barilla) contribute another 3g. So the aforementioned foods add up to ~ 500cal and approx. 22g of fibre. Then eat more veggies!!! I usually end up around 60g/day while consuming 2.000 cal per day.

[@sportysbusiness]

I've done the opposite, cut fibre from my diet and the improvements in my heath and mental wellbeing are unreal. I produce little waste and have zero gas or bloating. It seems clear to me that if you look at 2 fuels for humans, one producing huge amounts of nasty, smelly waste (plant based) and the other producing very little, low smell waste (animal based), that the low waste option is the correct one!

[@deborahsthisthat5034]

😊❤since i found Rich's interview with Dr. Will..i eat 10-15 plants per day minimum! The easiest way for me is eating mixed greens in my salad. There are around 5-10 different greens in the spring mix. Then i switch it up by adding a different green to it ( ie: spinach, romaine, iceburg, kale ) then i add cucumber, radish, chopped apple, walnut, pumpkin seed etc I make a mustard maple dressing...so good

Thanks so much for putting this together!

This is such a great resource and consolidation of information that I will be sharing with as many as I can!

[@theresabedford4969]

Can you share more about this FMT therapy and what how this therapy has helped you.

[@jameshaslerbail]

@@theresabedford4969 FMT is Fecal Microbiota Transplantation therapy, where the microbiome of a healthy donor is transplanted into the colon. There are a couple of ways it can be done, including enema, nasogastric tube, capsules, and colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is the gold standard as the gastroenterologist can then reach the entire colon and it is essential to reach the proximal portion (ascending) I will update this post in a few weeks once I have had the treatment and let you know how it goes 👍🏻

[@nancynguyen8643]

@@jameshaslerbail please do🙏😍. Big thanks

[@justlikeyouful]

@@jameshaslerbail Are the results immediate? Or does it take awhile for things to get sorted out?

[@jameshaslerbail]

I had FMT therapy twice - the first was via enema which wasn't very effective in January, the second was via colonoscopy and oral capsules which release into the small intestine in the last two weeks There have been some noticeable changes very quickly, including better sleep, less worry/anxiety, improvement of neurological symptoms, better gastrointestinal function I am cautiously optimistic and am not surprised that I have noticed improvements as I have narrowed my health issues down over the years and I kept being directed to my microbiome, which would be the same for many people Some important things to note about FMT: Nothing is guaranteed - because there are so many different organisms of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, etc. there is no category of 'good microbiome', but the more diverse the better. Therefore, everyone's results from therapy will be different. Changes should be noticeable in the first two weeks, however, lifestyle factors of diet, physical activity, stress management, sleep, emotional regulation all are important in cultivating a healthy environment for the introduced populations to stay and thrive, so that can take time. For example, it can take up to 4 years after antibiotic treatment for microbiome populations to recover. So, be patient and persistent with those lifestyle factors which should be ongoing through life anyway. Do your research on FMT providers and find a good gastroenterologist and clinic! My first experience was the complete opposite of my second colonoscopy/capsules. It is not cheap and I should not have undertaken the first enema treatment, but in a health system that lacks adequate guidance at times, I have had to figure a lot out on my own. Colonoscopy is the gold standard when it comes to FMT therapy, and that is because it is essential for the FMT to reach the proximal colon, including the cecum and appendix area. I hope this information helps and good luck!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:09 🦠 The gut is the major source of inflammation in the body and hosts the largest number of immune cells. Bacteria in the gut play a crucial role in regulating the immune system. 00:38 🍎 Feeding gut bacteria the right types of food, particularly fiber, is essential for producing short-chain fatty acids that regulate immune cells. 01:08 🛡️ Short-chain fatty acids signal immune cells to become specific types that help in preventing autoimmune diseases. 02:15 📚 The podcast aims to organize and present timeless information in a more accessible manner, focusing on single themes like the microbiome. 07:28 🧠 The gut microbiome influences emotional state, disease propensity, and even decision-making. 10:24 🌍 Microbial ecosystems vary across different parts of the body and are influenced by factors like moisture and oxygen content. 11:22 💊 Frequent antibiotic use has been linked to the development of autoimmune diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. 15:14 🧼 Over-sanitization and lack of exposure to germs are contributing to the rise of autoimmune diseases, supporting the hygiene hypothesis. 17:38 🌐 As countries become more industrialized and sanitized, rates of autoimmune diseases increase. 19:32 👶 Being born via C-section deprives babies of essential microbes, but this can be mitigated by swabbing the baby with the mother's vaginal microbes. 22:32 💡 Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer a health benefit, but they must be tested in humans for the specific claims being made. 23:28 📚 The term "probiotic" is often misused, covering anything from fermented foods to heat-killed organisms. Proper definition should include live organisms, appropriate dosages, and scientific testing. 24:28 🌍 Probiotics have the potential to impact various areas like fertility, disease treatment, and global health due to their affordability and fewer side effects compared to other medications. 25:54 🍲 Fermented foods are not necessarily probiotics or prebiotics. They belong to a different category and have limited strains with probiotic potential. 26:53 🧪 Fermentation byproducts like organic acids may have health benefits, but research is limited. 29:20 🐝 The microbiome plays a role in the health of honeybees, affecting issues like colony collapse disorder. Probiotics can detoxify pesticides and protect against pathogens in bees. 33:14 🌱 Declining biodiversity, including the loss of bees, could have a catastrophic impact on food supply and other industries. 38:38 🦠 Around 60% of the immune system is located in the gut lining, making it crucial for overall health. 41:03 🧬 Glyphosate, commonly used in agriculture, disrupts the gut lining and could be linked to various diseases, including cancer. 44:57 🔥 Inflammation is the result of immune system activation, releasing cytokines that can damage cells and DNA. 45:58 🤔 Inflammation is a natural immune response, but chronic inflammation can be harmful. Acute inflammation is beneficial for repair and recovery, while chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues. 47:52 🍎 The gut hosts the largest number of immune cells in the body. Lack of good foods, especially fiber, can lead to chronic inflammation. 49:56 🦠 Gut bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids from fiber, which regulate immune cells and prevent autoimmune diseases. 51:21 🍽️ Fiber is crucial for gut health. Hunter-gatherer societies consume around 200 grams of fiber a day, compared to the typical American diet of 15 grams. 52:17 🚨 Lack of fiber can lead to the breakdown of the gut barrier, causing various digestive disorders and affecting the immune system. 54:38 🌱 Different types of fiber feed different types of bacteria, which produce various chemical byproducts that have different effects on the immune system. 56:36 🏋️‍♀️ Exercise induces acute inflammation, which triggers a strong anti-inflammatory response, beneficial for overall health. 57:35 🌿 Curcumin, found in turmeric, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that works through hormetic stress, activating anti-inflammatory genes. 01:00:30 ⏰ Circadian rhythm regulates metabolism and inflammation. Bright light exposure for 1-2 hours can set the biological clock correctly. 01:03:50 🌞 Stress and anxiety can negatively impact gut health and the immune system. Trauma, both physical and emotional, can have long-term effects on gut health. 01:06:19 😟 Collective stress from the pandemic is affecting gut microbiomes, making it crucial to nurture a healthy gut for a strong immune system. 01:08:22 🦠 A healthy gut microbiome is essential for a strong immune response to COVID-19 and other diseases. 01:09:20 📈 Increase in immune-mediated diseases like celiac and inflammatory bowel disease highlights the importance of understanding the gut microbiome. 01:10:20 🌱 Plant diversity is crucial for a healthy microbiome; it's not about a specific diet but the variety of plants consumed. 01:10:46 🍊 Fiber is an "ignored superfood" that feeds the gut microbiome, particularly soluble fiber. 01:11:16 🧪 Short-chain fatty acids, produced by the microbiome when fed fiber, have healing effects throughout the body, including optimizing the immune system. 01:12:44 📊 97% of Americans are fiber-deficient, which is a concerning statistic for gut health. 01:14:15 🌾 Biodiversity in diet is essential; each plant has its unique types of fiber that feed specific microbes in the gut. 01:16:22 🌳 Every plant contributes unique vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, making dietary diversity an "insurance policy" for gut health. 01:17:22 🍇 Phytochemicals like resveratrol can change the microbiome and contribute to healthy aging. 01:19:22 🌍 The health of the gut is interconnected with the health of the planet; both require biodiversity and sustainable practices. 01:21:20 🌏 The strain on the environment due to population growth emphasizes the need for sustainable practices to maintain both gut and planetary health.
