OPTIMIZE YOUR MICROBIOME | DR. WILL BULSIEWICZ X Rich Roll Podcast

[@DP-dr6gi]

Dr B has changed my life! His book Fiber Fueled, is life changing. I followed low carb diets for years and lost 50 lbs. I also developed diverticulitis and had two colon polyps. I have ibs and leaky gut and because of it I couldn’t eat many vegetables and fruits because they ripped up my stomach. His book made me realize I had Fodmap issues. Once I went through that elimination and then reintroduction of these food very slowly, I am now able to eat these plant diverse foods and all of my ibs symptoms are gone!

[@merncat3384]

You're describing me but what do you eat during the elimination process? I feel starved.

[@staceykersting705]

@@merncat3384 I went with all meat/fish and avocados for just 2 days. My chronic back pain disappeared! I then introduced foods back slowly, one or two at a time. Found the only thing I'm sensitive to is too much sugar, or too much wheat. I have no problem keeping my sugar very low and my wheat low, too. If u do this, go back in slowly with beans and raw cruciferous veggies. I no longer eat 12 cups of coleslaw, but 2-3 cups is fine. We're all different, tho. 2 of my kids won't drink milk. When I think how adulterated commercial milk is, I think that's a good thing!

[@Healthyimmunedoc]

As an infectious disease physician, I agree a diversity of whole food plants are key to health not only because of fiber but because Whole Foods comes with critical polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, complex carbs, protein and healthy fats to combat inflammation. Specifically for COVID the acute inflammation is vascular and concentrated in the vascular system due to blood clots and thus causing respiratory inflammation amongst other tissues. The critical nutrients that have immediate anti inflammatory vascular effects are polyphenols, vitamins and minerals which are found in whole plant foods that can reduce blood clots and calm vascular inflammation. Unfortunately, The problem with chasing fiber is that the food industry is now making highly processed “health” foods with specific ultra-processed fibers that are devoid of the healthy natural combination of anti-inflammatory nutrients that are in real food. We talk to our body’s immune system via inputs and outputs. The greatest inputs are in the air we breath, the things we swallow and the stuff that contacts our skin.

Blue Zones is anecdotal,. So no science there. Claiming Hadza (hunter gatherers) are plant eaters (observational) is to ignore the insects, carrion, eggs etc they must eat. The part on TMAO's was based on one 2014 study where the subjects only ate meat or only ate plants, kind of limited. How many were elderly or smokers? What kind of meat? Other experts have condemned beans due to the lectins which are very toxic if not heavily soaked and cooked. Finally the vegan ideology comes out with the concern about animal rights. While right, it has nothing to do with what to eat. It becomes political.

I can now introduce foods with Lectins with little or no issues. Dr. Gundry has researched for 20 years on thousands of patients so I am not sure why Dr. B is so opposed to his scientific research since he is a scientist, as well. Dr. G, also promotes a diverse plant based diet over eating animal protein and acknowledges the Blue Zones and their diet. I think it’s important for everyone to find the balance that works for them and understand how to cook those foods or prepare them to be less inflammatory in their body.

Hi, my name is Courtney, and I'd like to ask you a couple of questions? What's lectin, and what's entailed with going lectin free. Also, I have MS, and I'd really like to know if a change of diet could have any effect on it? Thank you ahead of time for your answers!!!

[@kj_H65f]

Dr Gundry is a liar, thats why. He lies about lectins. He claims that beans are a high lectin food but like Dr B said unless you are eating raw beans these zero chance that will affect you negatively. Gundry also says nonsense like "tofu is full of lectins" and instead recommends mushrooms for protein which is absurd. Gundry is a liar and has been exposed as such time and time again. Hes not a researcher, he's a you tube personality that lies for clicks.

[@FiberFairy22]

Dr. B’s pleasantly scientific breakdown of so many concepts is exactly how I wish my Ecology professor would’ve shared technical info! What an awesome interview, both men are so good at what they do!

[@carolyn4407]

Brilliant! Already had the book and have seen/heard many podcasts with Dr. B, but this one is my favourite. Didn't want it to end and already looking forward to Part 2

[@plantbasedethos5726]

The problem for most vegans can be all the processed foods that are on the market today, many are turning into these products instead of whole foods. And that´s the reason even so many vegans have health issues and many can give up on the lifestyle because it has never been done properly

[@FYP8888]

This is absolutely the best interview I've ever seen on the microbiome and why fiber and diversity are so important!!! Thank you Rich!!! Thank you Dr. B!! Mind blowing gorgeous!

[@simongarner5340]

Agreed, it's very good. I'd recommend you check out Dr Tim Spector's work as well.

If you liked this video, you may also be interested in knowing the indicators of a healthy gut! They include: 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!

1:30 - Secret to getting my body to process beans and plant proteins, in essence, training my gut microbiome to adapt gradually to beans and other difficult to digest plant foods with moderate adjustments. Eat small amounts of these foods so as to not overwhelm the microbes and develop more of those specific micro-organisms and train my gut - brilliant!

[@sarahjordan348]

Rich please invite a guest who can talk about skin’s natural microbiome , how can it be maintained or restored. Love your podcasts

[@planetmartay]

Thank you for such quality content! When I was diagnosed with UC about 15 years ago (& was flaring, often) I asked my Dr. (at the time) what I could do to mitigate flaring up. Could I change my diet? He shrugged and said, "meh, you can try, but there's no evidence that doing so will help." Since then, I've gone gluten & dairy free. I'm mostly plant based...when I stopped eating dairy, I noticed the most significant difference. Better gut and I've gotten sick WAY LESS. I rarely take med's, now. It's all about the diet. Unfortunately, so many have a vested, monetary interest in keeping us sick & on meds. To them, I give all the middle fingers!!! 😁

[@planetmartay]

Further, I had another GI doctor, about 5 yrs ago, tell me to eat a low fiber diet. I'm no dr., but I disagreed & never went back to that dr!

[@cindy9155]

I am new in learning about this and listening to Dr. B. Thank you! I loved his explanation of the gut not having inflammation, but "sloppy digestion' caused by a damaged gut. I recently heard him talk about this in another video, and he mentioned go low and slow, or slow and low, and ease into it. Also, the hydration of water. 2x2x2x2. 2 glasses of water when you get up first, before your coffee, and two glasses of water with each meal. Simple! I'm just starting this and a plant-based, low-fat diet. I'm changing and hope to get better: Hope I can help others, if they see good results in me.

[@cammieklund]

I'd like to see a friendly discussion between Dr Will B and Dr Saladino!😄 Omg, they have so insanely different opinions on fiber, microbiome and sulforaphane!!😮

[@rvvaidya]

its easy, salad should eat more salads like his name says

[@Snagrit]

The main difference is that Dr Saladino is a psychiatrist, not a trained internist, whilst Dr Will is an internist AND a specialist in what he is talking about (gut health). The Carnivore guys are extremely fringe in the medical community. There is NO Evidence to back up their claims and their OWN LAB WORK shows the dangers of eating the way they do (when they released their labs which showed incredibly high HbA1C and LDL they actually tried to claim that these wern't actually bad things, rather than rethinking their dietary choices).

[@cammieklund]

@@Snagrit Yes, I know! They do reach out to many people though and I was fooled by how scientific he sounded in his book for instance. Needless to say, I got extremely constipated and sick on that diet.😞

[@lululove6175]

So many good debates with Dr. Will and people like Judy Cho, Sally Norton, “Dr.” Baker, Steak and butter Gal. I have a horrible problem with constipation due to a rare spinal disease that had nothing to do with diet . Ate healthy all my life as in no processed, runner, cyclist until this medical condition hit. Tried it all..plants, only meat, nothing working. I don’t know what to eat anymore.

[@cammieklund]

@@lululove6175 I tried it all aswell..but I have come to the conclusion that plants in combination with an already compromised gut has given me a SERIOUS oxalate issue so I have gradually gone carnivore again. Last time I stopped bcs I didn't understand that I was experiencing oxalate dumping. (I have been vegan for ten years and vegetarian for many years.) This time around I know that this will take time but it's not easy to deal with when you have all these symptoms. But I have no choice but to go carnivore bcs my gut can't tolerate any plants anymore. Have you ever considered joining a zoom meeting with Sally? It's awesome!🌺

[@dr.conniesanchezn.d.537]

Immediately, after listening, bought the book. Diversity is the key!

[@cpdoorbell]

Your interview with Dr. B. influenced our dietary choices more than any of the two hundred episodes I have heard. The basic guideline of eating 30 varieties of plants in a week to build the immune system really resonated. I also appreciate the encouragement to aim to be 90-100% plant-based rather than the usual restrictive scolding approach that some plant-based leaders take. Our adult children usually tease us when we talk about healthy eating and choices, but they are all fully paying attention now that we are talking about building the immune system through the gut. Pandemic + Trump's botching of the response + Threat of college being cancelled = Young adults open to parents' ideas. Dr. B is leading our conversation and choices. Thank you.
