These Are the Best Foods & Supplements for Gut Health

In this video, Rhonda Patrick discusses:
• Fermented foods that improve gut health
• Why sauerkraut and kimchi are a double whammy when it comes to improving gut health
• Foods that increase butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut (and in turn, drastically improve gut health)
• Why you should try to eat a diverse array of foods
• Why green apples and tart blueberries benefit gut health
• How foods with organic acids, like citrus fruits, improve gut health
• If apple cider vinegar benefits the microbiome
• Recommended probiotics (and if she supplements with any)
• How glutamine can improve gut health (and an important caveat about who should and shouldn't supplement)

Kefir yogurt every day has done miracles for my gut health.

[@mrmacguffin6886]

How much do you consume? I've just heard about its benefits literally today, started with 150ml and plan to build up to 250.

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Correct

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

​@@mrmacguffin6886just dont get scientific and have a bit each day

[@marcusgrandon3640]

@@mrmacguffin6886 I've been drinking 150ml three times a day for a year now (with breakfast, lunch and dinner). It has totally changed my gut for the better. I've even seen people stop taking medicine for constipation after 6-8 weeks on 450ml a day. And I just love drinking it.

[@HH-gv8mx]

For some reason when I drink Keffir I blow up. Makes me fat and bloated. Like I immediately notice how heavy I feel the next day after drinking Keffir. I drink the plain low-fat Lifeway brand. The “healthiest” option they sell at my grocery store.

I appreciate all your hard work to relay this health knowledge to us all. My favorite health legend!

Dr. Rhonda's is undoubtedly the best, most impressive, informative, persuasive roundup. Might plausibly recommend: a) Ginger, fermented or not, at sushi sections of markets; and, b) Unfiltered honey - Manuka, if affordable, for the gut. An aside: Went to work and Grad school simultaneously. Know the deal !

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Honey is total BS, what r u on about 😂😂

[@HH-gv8mx]

Honey … and I only use manuka, makes me fat. 2 tablespoons are loaded with sugar and high calorie

[@lawrenceweinzimer]

@HH-gv8mx Just a small amount of Manuka with a bend or twist to get it to the most affected section of the stomach works.

I used to eat a whole lot of what Rhonda suggests. My health was okay, but I did have a little bit of bloating and gas, and was starting to have low energy. I then switched to zero grains, which helped a little. I then switched to 95% meat; no veggies and almost no fruit. What happened was the complete elimination of any gas whatsoever (zero farting and bloating), significantly less messy and less smelly feces, elimination of itchiness in that area, significantly lower arm pit odor, and bigger muscles. No drawbacks whatsoever - ie plenty of energy etc. I am not convinced fiber and plant compounds need to be directly consumed by humans for optimal health. Mine and others' results on consuming mostly or entirely meat is the anecdotal evidence that is quite convincing to me. Also, humans naturally have as high stomach acid as most carnivorous animals (stomach acid is crucial for meat consumption, not so much for plant consumption).

[@bshef3424]

Citrus Peel ("Zest") is delicious and easy to incorporate into most any meal

[@lillymargaret]

Thank you Rhonda! What would you suggest for those who have had non-cancerous colon polyps to prevent more polyps?

[@jjjames6894]

Malic acid yes been keeping that in my pre workout but not sure mechanism but studies showed MPS benefit with citruline malate via NO & as a longevity supplement, but specifically citruline to produce the arginine with no RCT for malic acid other than correlative mitochondrial ATP benefits so good to know it’s beneficial for microbiome as I do 3g a day to match the performance stats of RCTs for hypertrophy, thanks as usual dr Patrick for an amazing episode!❤️🙌

[@CJ-lj9fb]

I had massive gut problems for years, I went to John's Hopkins and they were clueless. I went on the carnivore diet, cut out all plant foods & supplements, and just ate red meat, a little bit of bacon, butter and water with lots of salt and guess what all of my years of misery have been resolved, my gut has healed, and all of my other health issues have reversed. This is the healthiest I've been in decades. The Carnivore diet healed me.

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Who cares. Personal anecdotes are the lowest form of data quality lol 😂😂😂😊

[@ezequielregueira]

it was probably just one thing that was messing up your gut, not everything. So realistically the carnivore diet didn't heal anything. you just cut out that one thing

[@markwhite6782]

@@ezequielregueira There are a whole bunch of people that carnivore has cured a variety of illnesses. Statistically it's by far the healthiest diet over all others. Show me a list of carnivore people with health problems that were cured by adding plants. You won't, carnivore people aren't sick.

You can also take a teaspoon to a tablespoon potato starch and mix it with cold water and just drink it before or after having a meal.

[@andremdm2008]

Dr Rhonda, it'd be great if you made a video to clarify the link between glycine and cancer. It seems it is, like serine, used a lot by cancer cells.

Hi Rhonda. Another great and informative video 🙂What do you think about the dairy product Skyr?

[@cajunbargod]

Follow up... what are your thoughts on oxolate in vegetables and the collection that happens throughout the body?

[@mrmacguffin6886]

Yes! I would love to hear about that too. And about phytic acid as well in oats and nuts. I wouldn't be too concerned based on the research I did, but still want to hear her opinion.

[@thomasedeal5687]

We have a detox pathway for oxalates. It only becomes a problem if your body is already having health issues.

[@eddiegrant58]

I heard oxalates pose no problems if you are getting enough magnesium, which most people aren't.

The only thing I disagreed with was the pumpkin seeds, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids. They can induce IL-12, a proinflammatory cytokine in IBD.

3:35 Resistant starch Have you spoken more about this? I have a few quick questions about amylose/ resistant starch. 1. Is there a general rule that you go by for the recrystallization of the amylose? Use for example rice or potatoes (type 3 resistant starch). For example using an Instant Pot with cook times. How dong does the potato have to cool to achieve X level of recrystalization. Is there any further benefit to a cooking an d cooling a potato a second time. 2. Is there any benefit to use of green bananas as opposed to plantain chips for type 2 resistant starch. 3. I have difficulty with all of this science shit. So this question is a little basic. My understanding is that sodium butyrate is in grass fed cheese and butter as well as being created being created in the large intestine from non-digestible carbohydrates such as nonstarch polysaccharides, resistant starch, and miscellaneous low-digestible saccharides. So… These are related to inhibition of class I and II histone deacetylases. Histone deacetylases regulate gene transcription thru modification of chromatin structure by deacetyaltion of proteins, including histone proteins and transcription factors. -- Is this a fancy way of saying that Buteric acid preserves DNA integrity? This gets a bit confusing with all of the science terms. 4. PGC-1 is reported to induce transformation of skeletal muscle fiber from glycolic (type II) into oxidative (type I). How can I use Amylose to more effectively make this rate of transformation happen? How can I use the rest of the nutrients mentioned today to increase this rate of transformation from type II to type skeletal muscle. 5. Can you talk about the Type 4 and type 5 resistant starches? Can I make them at home? With type 5 what does it mean to combine starches with lipids? For that matter could you give some examples of both type 4 and 5. Thank you for your contribution to my health. I just finished off the last of my Rhonda Patric Smoothies (RPS) yesterday. I appreciate you.
