About the red 💩, one morning I saw a red color in the bowl & was instantly panik'd but I remembered that I had eaten ALOT of beets the day before. The day after this, there was no more redness in the bowl after so I think beets can discolour it- wait a day or later that day & keep checking

A couple of years ago i suffered from a very serious IBS. Doctor told to try eating fermented food so i started to make my own kefir, sauerkraut and i ordered some natural kimchi. I was having a lot of stress from work and because of heavy working hours i was eating very unhealthy. I started the diet and i had some kefir in the afternoon and some sauerkrout in the evening. Halfway through the night, i woke up my body was shaking. I ran to the ER and they gave me a shot of antihistamines and told me i had an anaphylactic shock. I was tempted to quit all amd give up. But i kept taking fermented food and fermented drinks in very small quantities and increase the dose every week. After 2 years the IBS is fully gone and i must say that i ve never felt more positive and energetic in my life.

Yeah probiotics is definitely something you have to ease into, if u never eat them.

What were ur symptoms of ibs?? My gut is hurting and I don't want to go to er please help 😢

[@Mrgasman1978]

@alexlabra1562 If it hurts really bad, you must go see a doctor. If it hurts bad enough to make you think that you should go to the ER, then i think you should go. My IBS symptoms were bloating, constipation, very thin and long stools, passing a lot of air through my bowels and farts smelling quite bad. I learned to recognise IBS farts actually cause they really smell like something was fermented "wrong".

Doctors depending mostly on pills and surgeries is not a bug, it's a feature.

[@OhSnap-kb9vr]

Sadly we are moving into a world where our healthcare will be nothing more than a 'doctor' (not to be confused with the artisan physicians, we see less and less of each passing decade who constantly studied and knew their craft) typing symptoms into a tablet and treating their patient accordingly. In a lot of ways, AI is as big of a threat to the human profession of 'medical doctor' as the self-service checkouts at a store are to those previously human-held jobs. On another note, many stores are removing the self-service checkout due to increases in theft attributed to the process. Just because you CAN do something, doesnt mean that you SHOULD. Its a hopeful example of Nature (human nature) correcting itself. The most moral character will be hard-pressed not to help themselves if they cant earn a living, which is an example of cause and effect. EDIT: Went to a store that had a cashier, but they didnt touch money. The 'item scanner' (I guess, lol - cashier title seems to be on the way out) pushed your items along then you fed your coupons dollars and change into the conveyor belt's side panel. Electronic counterfeit protection? Employee theft vs. 'Pandemic germ' carrying money?!??

Why I avoid doctors and see Naturopaths

[@csakzozo]

Wouldn't help them. Most doctors are just operators who apply a complicated protocol. Don't mean to put down their hard work to get there, but even their hands are tied. If they don't follow their procedures, and something happens to the patient, they risk loosing their license. If they follow the procedure to the letter, and their patient dies, nothing wrong with that. Totally wrong incentives.

[@AntsCanada]

[@BipolarOnTheBrain]

I am a new subscriber just because of this particular episode. As a person who (finally at 48) successfully manages severe bipolar, PTSD, coupled with ADHD, I am always investigating the latest science and research around how mood is influenced by the gut. As a mental health advocate in Canada, I teach (on a volunteer basis as I am retired) patients how to rewire their trauma brain by certain action steps. I truly believe that patients with mood disorders need to take responsibility for their health by recording daily what is happening to them. Learning from this doctor (for example) that serotonin is manufactured in the gut is incredible! Those of us that suffer from mood disorders can become their own researchers and then take actual data specific to their own lives in order to have empowered conversations with their family physicians, psychiatrists, and GP. This was the best investment of time in 2024 I am certain I will make all year. Thank you!

I would actually say that good doctors, doctors who are truly invested in their patients who are willing to learn about nutrition and are not in it for the money or just following what their practice demands of them who get kick backs are the great doctors.

I really appreciate this doctor and those like him.

[@brushstroke3733]

Glad to hear this talk motivated and inspired you so much and that you made changes immediately, but be careful not to go too far too quickly. The doctor mentioned how increasing fiber intake dramatically can cause gut upset and pain because we don't yet have the microbes to process them. Start slow and ramp up. Add a healthy salad with lots of nuts, seeds, and a few kinds of beans to your daily diet - that would be a good start. Eat more nuts as snacks. Add more varieties of fruits and vegetables to your diet as you go. Anyway, good health and prosperity to you!

I remember learning about some of this stuff 20 years ago with a naturopathic doctor. Me and my siblings have had health issues from a young age and our parents didn't know where to turn. Over the years my opinion has gone back and forth between his methods being totally whack to very effective. But as my health issues got better for years then came back after I really slacked off with my lifestyle, focusing on the gut has been the most helpful thing for me. As science advances, my respect for that naturopath continues to increase.

[@thedouglaspodcast]

@koreyvalentine4234​​⁠​​⁠yep, agreed. Addicted to sugar. Coffee. Milk. Cigarettes. And Kratom…… but at least all of those I consume are organic 🤣🤣💀 no joke. I smoke spirits, bake all my own sweets (literally just pulled fresh cupcakes outta the oven 💀), Bulletproof coffee I feel is superior and “healthier” than all the others so that’s all I consume.. and I was dairyfree for a FKN *DECADE!!* I accidentally ate this full on cheese dip on accident at my dad’s a couple months ago and nothing happened.. I used to get INSANELYYY sick from it. From gluten too. Was diagnosed with severe celiac and gut issues. That same ten years ago is also the last time I’ve gone to a conventional doc 😅😅😅 decided to take my health into my own hands and no joke, I think I cured my celiac 🤯 I’m still afraid to eat gluten.. but almost 100% of what I consume is organically sourced and made or grown from scratch. Soo when I realized I didn’t get sick from cheese/dairy.. I slowly started incorporating it back into my diet and was still feeling completely fine. Now I drink raw/organic milk by the GALLON lmaooo. I’m obsessed and I’ve missed it 🤣 definitely missed all the healthy fats too. I feel like they’ve been doing my body so well. My advice to you is don’t fully give up your vices if you don’t want to!! Just change to a healthier source ♥️ fk Starbucks.. they use sooo many disgustingly sourced oils and chemicals 🤢 they’re disgusting. Terrible company with horrible ingredients. Make your own coffee and get/make some healthier creamers and sweaters. Or at the very least.. locals stuff that you KNOW comes from a good source. It’s done wonderssss for my health and I didn’t have to give up anything 🥰 I feel like being diagnosed with celiac was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I’m beyond happy. Content. Zero anxiety. Depression. Brain fog. Sleep issues. Caca troubles lololol it’s ALL gone. The one and only thing I wanna quit now is Kratom. I used it for pain and now I’m just full blown addicted 🥲🤣

Taking supplements the last 2 months & have now started taking probiotics to help regenerate the lost good bacteria that I've lost through eating a junk food diet for too many years. I'm not medicated for my diabetes but by cutting out 90% of processed foods & carbs, I have lost 35lbs & I'm now classed as non diabetic".

Same I ended up with nutrient deficiencies and it was a whole tsngle of things like lack of sleep digestive system not working exhausted but also wired and emotional stress and a whole thing. I can only say what helped me and maybe it can help you. I even couldn't absorb the iron tablets I got. I found that I was always hungry tired etc. I am trying to remember the first thing I got untangled. I think I. Went to a Chinese herbal doctor (because they cured two serious illness when I was a kid and my mom ended up bringing me to them because doctors couldn't help) and I had struggled to sort any of it out cos I was sleep deprived. I had ptsd after being attacked so I couldn't sleep I nwould go asleep in a chair with my back against the wall to feel safe. But only sleep a few hours and then id be tired all day.i went for a walk every day no matter what and I did little bursts of running for like 20 seconds probably maybe even less but that helped my stress. I got a juicer and a blnder and I bought lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. I did try vegetarian but that didn't go well for me. But the juices of green vegetables was very good I started eating organ meats like liver and also enough salt. I started taking manuka honey with cider vinegar in water before eating to help my stomach not get reflux and I also got a massage from this woman not sure what she was but she massaged my stomach and intestines whcih was painful but amazing afterwards. I only did that once cos it was 120 dollars. But I would try to massage my own tummy at night. Just gently. In case I did it wrong. I got magnesium and first I got vitmin d which helped a lot but gave me a magnesium deficiency cos I didn't know you need both. And I was having serious heart arythmias which disappeared within days of taking magnesium. Magnesium also helped my tummy to move better like speed things up a bit. I got the best vitmin c I could and got prebiotic foods like sour kruat andd yoghurt and made myself have a little spoonful of those with every meal. I used my blnder to make things with nuts and seeds like cashew nut cream and almond spread and that sesame snack ..its like a solid tahini thing. I would snack on apples with cocoa nibs and honey. I didnt have a lot of money for things like avocados and steaks so a lot of what I did was what I could afford. Like cheap organ meat a small bit has more iron than a big steak. Or apples and cabbage cheap and cheerful... local raw honey as well. Ginger tea and something called Nigeria seeds. I think a lot of it was stress and distress of going to doctors for help and getting none. Except offered lexipro and I was like no im not taking that. They thought I was hypchondiact or something. But the fact magnesium sorted my heart fluttering out in days. Ong I gave up doctors at all and just tried different things. The thing that worked best for me was fruit and veg and meat ..vegetarian wasn't good nor was eating keto even possible it just made my tummy hurt and unhappy. One thing I would say to you is to keep a diary. And when you make a change make it for a week on its own. Sometimes I would change three things at a time and then fele bad and then not know whcih thing had caused it and had to do a lot of juggling which if I had only changed one thing that week it would have been easier to know what was causing what. It took me about six years to figure it out as some much was broken and deficient and a lot of things didn't work for me. So I think everyone is different. But if you get help your sleep that will help your brain to be able to change other things more easily. And take care of your heart and soul as well because so much can be the literal crap we have been through not just the crap in our bodies but the crap we have from life that needs to be cleared out and shaken out of the body and kinda have our souls and hearts cleansed more than the clon if that makes sense. ❤️ God bless you with success on your journey to increasing wellness.

My observation of so many people with type 2 diabetes is they are taking medication, but they don't change their diet. They continue to eat processed foods (which are loaded with not only sugar, but salt & fats as well) drink sugary drinks & eat tons of carbs (bread, pasta, white rice, etc.). They can't understand why they don't lose weight & why their A1C results are still on the high side. 🙄 Is it truly any wonder that patients with type 2 diabetes are often over weight or even obese, have high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, degeneration of their joints & spinal discs, get frequent infections, have systemic inflammation, skin problems, etc? We are what we eat. 😐

[@jessicasinclair1547]

I know quite a few diabetics where this is true, however, you cannot use the same paint brush to cover all diabetics. I am suddenly diabetic (after being a vegetarian for 20 years). There are other factors beyond just food. I very rarely drink soda and alcohol, still eat my 30+ veg a week, haven't smoked anything in years and I remain a diabetic with a well controlled autoimmune thyroiditis. And FYI, I poop daily and am neither constipated or diarrhea.

I think that the doctors are willing, but some ask for astronomical sums just to do some tests. Only a few can afford that. Shame

[@Keisha2024]

They will not make as much money as they want so they don’t. The only ones who speak out about it are the doctors who make money outside of being just a doctor, they write books, have other businesses, they do seminars, etc. A lot of doctors are only doctors so if they lose patients they lose money.

[@hitmusicworldwide]

So they go thru 12+ years of study, powering through tough internships, incurring debt, stress, and wear and tear on their mind and body to minister to a body that our own sloth, stupidity, ignorance, and self abuse has messed up and you assume that they DON'T want to help people??

Gastroenterologists failed me. They couldn't cure my ulcerative colitis. I got that terrible immune disease when I was only 14 years old (50 years ago). I ended up getting my large intestine completely removed (it's known as an ileostomy). Now there is a long list of healthy foods that I cannot digest very well and it's affecting my health. The main problem is that I cannot handle high fiber foods. Therefore, I eat mainly meat, pasta, bread, potatoes and bananas.

It should also be noted that previous healthier generations ate plenty of saturated fats and red meat, but what they didn’t eat as much of, or at all, is processed foods and sugar. Maybe they ate more fiber, and maybe they lived in a less sanitized world as well.

[@georgina3498]

This discussion is amazing! Thank you very much for putting into the table for a debate. There are lots of points to pay attention to, but I think one of the problem is that in general we wait until someone else solve their problems (with pills) and doesn't want to pot enough effort to change it for ourselves. The basis of the Chinese Medicine is based on self-care (self-responsability) and change the habits and diet to improve the health and prevent the disease. Maybe, we still have a lot to learn.

Allopathic medicine is at least 15 years behind the functional medicine (FM). FM talked about microbiome, fermenting foods, gut- brain connection 2 decades ago. Dr. Natasha Campbell discovered gut- brain connections and wrote a book, created a diet two decades or more ago. I am glad allopathic doctors are FINALLY getting it and speaking about it.

[@justjosie8963]

Very frustrating how far behind they are yet how egotystical and sure of themselves they are while they give advice and procedures that damage your health. I too am glad they are FINALLY catching up. But it's not their fault, it's the big pharma financing the med school curriculum. The egotistical nature and not listening to or believing the patient, however, IS their fault.

I am glad that I grew up in Romania where the food is so diverse and fermented food is part of the cuisine. I find it very funny that Finally the western countries consider fermented food "new science". You want diversity in your food intake, try carpathian diet, or eat what people eat in Eastern Europe. It's interesting to see that in the UK, eating kefir is a revelation, while in Romania as a kid I was eating almost daily because it was cheap and healthy. A 500 ml bottle of Kefir in Tesco is 3.5£ and a 1L bottle of Kefir from an online romanian or bulgarian shop is 1 £. 🤯

It's no mystery, it's a conspiracy of willful ignorance.

[@Szilvia_Szilvia]

That's not mystery.... big pharma writes the medical school text books since the 1920s...wake up & educate yourself!

[@Createwithfranzsidney]

It’s because they get super basic nutrition training. However in recent times, even doctors are waking up to the importance of gut flora, immune system, sleep, general health and so on. If you watch Huberman Lab you will see what I mean.

[@Szilvia_Szilvia]

​@@Createwithfranzsidney... Huberman is not a medical doctor. He is a scientist running a lab, doing research and podcasting on the side. He is one of the better sources, that's correct, but don't put him in the same bucket as medical doctors. For one, a medical doctor risks his/her license if deters from the "standard of care". That's one reason they aren't interested, and they're groomed not to care by the system how they're educated. The cause of the problem is in the system, and that we allow pharmachology to subserve their own needs on the back of our health....lack thereof. Best thing you can do is educate yourself, live healthy and never need a doctor unless acute like an accident...

It’s all connected to the food and bowel movements. I’m so glad he talked about ultra processed food impacting the body and eating real food until full. GLP1 and fiber are keys to dietary changes, well I learned something new.Ive cleaned up my diet and released 70lbs eating more plant based foods. My gut thanked me after decades of trying to lose weight. My doctor was amazed that I was so heavier overweight but my BP and insulin in check. He said we got to get this weight off you. He didn’t know to say about we got to heal your gut to get this weight off you for healthier living. This video should be included in every medical school curriculum and shown in health classes in middle and high schools. This is valuable information and the understanding of the poop process is priceless, constipation and biles.

[@vernaswanson1440]

I totally agree with everything you're saying. About four to five months ago because of unusual circumstances I found out that my sugar was kind of high. My doctor wanted me to have an A1C test but I decided to try and get it down by eating more fiber and eating the good carbs and proteins. I cut way back on the bad carbs and sugar. I bought a blood glucose machine and I would chart my food and take my blood sugar about four times. I decided to wait on the A1C until I could get it under control. And as of 2 days ago I had a reading of between 92 and 97 for three times during that day. I do go to the fitness center and usually on the bike for about 40 minutes six times a week So everything that you've talked about with the fiber makes sense. I have also lost about 16 pounds. I'm about five seven and had weighed 158 and now I'm down to 142. When you eat this way you actually feel full. Confirmation for what you're talking about.

[@yolojabromeo-xw8ft]

@@ValHeartNDHeartSuqquNoHeartPat went carnivore for a month to kill off all the microbes in my gut. Within a week I had my first real deuce in 12 years. Just ground beef, eggs, salt. Then prebiotics (two types, highly rated on amazon), kefir, saurkraut after a month of carnivore. Started slowly introducing fibre Took nutritional yeast (unfortified). 1tbsp a day after the month of carnivore and when I started prebiotics. This is important. B1 is used to produce stomach acid for the stomach (not enough leads to indigestion -> bloating -> diarrhea and constipation) and digestive enzymes in the pancreas (same result -> constipation and diarrhea), also used to produce the lining in the gut ( lack of leading to autoimmune issues). So nutrition yeast really was the big one. Reintroduced carbs slowly. Introduced all foods except gluten. That still causes me issues

@@lilyrosegarden6080 I am more than happy to sit in with a Doctor while they do their examination or even after the examination have the doctor communicate with me and then I myself can have a consultation with the client as a trained health coach. That's an idea too. But I have not seen this in the UK. I felt the need to invest in an education with IIN because I felt unheard and not properly cared for by the doctor. And I wonder how many patients are being treated the same way, being told they are fine and healthy when they are not. It may be true that there is more money in prescribing medicine however in cases where no prescription is necessary I feel it is a humane thing to do to atleast offer people information on their poop and what healthy poop looks like or provide information on healthy eating and pre and probiotics. Also there are supplements out there like AG1 that doctors can speak to so that when someone uses their code when buying the product, that person will get a percentage or something from it. Atleast you would as a doctor be prescribing something beneficial for someone's health and gut biome. We need to be better.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely look into this.😊

I watched this for the second time today. This episode is fascinating and makes perfect sense. I also joined Zoe this morning. I have been plant-based for about 10 years. I absolutely noticed a huge change in the first 24 hours. The inflammation left my entire body. I got off cholesterol meds, stopped wearing a knee and hip brace to get me through the workday, and at 53y/o, had the energy of a teenager. I am open to adding to my diet if Zoe recommends. We shall see what happens! I am looking forward to this journey. Thanks for the video!!!!!

Plant based for 10 years and you were on cholesterol meds? There is zero cholesterol in plant food. Doesn't that give you pause for thought?

Eating a WFPBD for quite a number of years I have heard Dr B (as he’s affectionately known) many times on various podcasts and webinars and have also read his books. It’s exciting to see him reach an audience who may not be aware of him and consequently the importance of gut health. If one new listener changes the way they eat after watching this it will be life changing for them. I always listen or watch any interview Dr B does as there is always something new to learn.

I'm doing some minor changes and have just been listing my plant food intake for the week. I agree there is always something new to learn

25-30 different plant foods a day. Losing weight finally and feeling great! Thank you for the insightful video.
