Wellness Wednesday: How to Heal Your Gut Bacteria with The Sonnenburgs

[@ethereal369]

Love the art print of the bacterial rods on the wall behind them! Very cool!

This video helps me a lot after suffering from taking antibiotics.

This journey promises to be a lifesaver.

Amazing content, thanks!😃

[@marydiscuillo142]

Great stuff. Who would have ever thought your gut microbes could be so important.!

[@greenfield1944]

Phoebe, I'm interested in this topic as you are and have been studying, Dr Greger, Dr Weil, and other experts. People have the misconception that "cave men" ate a 100% meat diet, but they didn't, they were starving most of the time and didn't have the tools to get meat (rifles). Try getting a deer with a sharp stick. I eat much like a bear does, plant food 90% of the time and a little meat which is a few eggs a week, wild sockeye salmon (they can't can"t farm it), and some wild meat. A few times a year we will have chicken or turkey. If we are at someones house we eat whatever they serve, but at home it's salmon 2 or three times a week and a few eggs here and there. The plant food is high quality, spinach, kale, brussel sprouts, lentils etc., and lots of blueberries, avocados, apples, bananas, beans etc.

Cook your beans with a little seaweed - Kombu is good, and no gas!

[@Sushi33312]

There’s not a lot said about seafood in these discussions. (Wild, not farmed.) We eat lots of organic vegetables as well locally caught fish, shellfish and crustaceans. Are these lumped in with “meat”?

[@tg6769]

What should those of us do who were given tons of abx as children / teens?

[@HerbysHanz]

Hello. We try everything/ all advice. I think antifungals and FMT. I tried both but not sure about the duration of antifungals. Thnks.

[@lauracain7712]

great questions, Phoebe

[@markyb366]

weeds as in candida etc.....

[@annnnn9074]

is raw meat consumption probiotic in nature similar to kombucha or sauerkraut?

[@marydiscuillo142]

Raw meat can contain pathogens and sounds like a really dangerous thing to do. Not a comparison on eaual footing.

[@bobbysofa1]

Whats your take on PPIs?

[@marydiscuillo142]

I would love to know that as well since both my dog and i take them. Than you! Great question.

[@healthmindmore4724]

From hearing people often repeat FIBER when speaking of gut flora, i really wonder if and when JUICING is un-favorable for a healthier biome...

[@kalashnikovcortez1380]

blending is better than juicing

[@bperez8656]

1000%

[@microgreensgrower3946]

Why not do both, juicing & smoothies? Lots of people I know healed themselves with juicing and some I know healed with green smoothies. Both are highly beneficial.

[@k.h.6991]

I would say that if you can't handle fiber, temporarily using juicing to get your vegetables, is fine. Then slowly transition to blending: small and then progressively larger portions, so that you can get the fiber and feed those gut bugs. For most people juicing is unwise long term. You need that fiber.

​@@microgreensgrower3946 Blending and juicing spinach and kale which contains damaging oxalates that negatively impact your thyroid function and autoimmune function. Fermented foods also cause histamine intolerance among many. Sadly, this was my experience. Dr. Sally K Norton has a website and KZbin interviews for her book Toxic Superfoods.

[@cathymcmahan7530]

Too many antibiotics and medications make it worse

[@BryceGarling]

Grams make no sense to me. Teaspoons, tablespoons, and cups I think make more sense to most average people.

[@incantevole8888]

This is a little questionable. I was taught that traditional cultures broke down beans, grains and nuts before consuming so they don't have gas. What about the phytates in these foods? - I'm sure that's not good for your gut. You don't even talk about that.

[@k.h.6991]

The phytates are down to healthy levels by the time the beans are cooked.

[@balancefound]

@@k.h.6991 Unfortunately that isn’t true.

[@JohnPandolfo121]

Must suck no one knows who you are , yet the topic leads most health discussions now.

[@joeschmo5699]

I'm sorry, around 21:30, area. "Meat" is a very general term. In the old days, people ate the animal nose to tail. Organ meat was on the menu. Now, the industrial diet is almost exclusively "muscle meat," And I don't doubt that muscle meat is probably the most lacking in nutrition and potentially carcinogenic, particularly when eaten in large quantities in the absence of (appropriate) fat. But, I have a problem, Justin Sonnenburg, with nutritional researchers leaping to conclusions like they do with the type of statements you've made there. We need the appearance of greater impartiality about this. In other words, a more scientific approach than what has been going on in nutrition science over the last 50 years or so.

[@tylert4271]

Could not agree more. U nailed it.

[@joeschmo5699]

+Tyler T I'd forgotten about that comment. I went back and listened to that section again. There are just so many problems with the discussion Sonnenburg made there it is hard to know where to start. One notable one was "the vegan eating a steak." This meaningless nonsense that needs to be "outed" for the non-scientific bullshit it is. This is like putting people who are carb and glucose adapted on a high fat diet for 4 days and concluding that the human metabolism works better on glucose. Any significant alteration in diet would require a significant transition time. It is known to take 3 weeks to properly adapt to a high fat diet. This is likely largely because of the microbiota, but not exclusively. This is exactly the bull and misconception that has been going on with nutrition science for the last 50 to 60 years.

[@joeschmo5699]

+Tyler T And, researchers such as Justin Sonnenburg never seem to know the story of Stefansson and the one year meat and fat diet experiment he did back in the 1920s (to disbelieving researchers). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilhjalmur_Stefansson

[@tylert4271]

+joe schmo AT LEAST 3 weeks to adapt to a high fat diet. I found the steak/vegan part hilarious too. And it was probably a feedlot, GMO- grain fed, hormone given, antibiotic given cow that the steak came from too, seriously. Anyway, clearly your aware of what's been (and continuing) going on in nutrition/health research. I rarely comment but I thought the same thing. Hopefully their error/bias is innocent. I will look into Stefansson. soon, thank u. Cheers

[@joeschmo5699]

Tyler T In fact, I'm not quite understanding the point Sonnenburg was trying to make about the vegan. I think it was suggesting that the vegan was better off eating the steak than the meat eater (because they are not adapted to eating meat). But wtf? Total meaningless conjecture and perpetration of current dogma and ignores evidence like the Stefansson case... all plants = good for health all meat = bad for health (especially in excess) The absurdity here is that all foods in excess are bad for health? In fact, the least harmful of the 3 macronutrients is likely fat. Fiber isn't a nutrient, at least not for the human organism. It is likely one for the micrbiota, but that's another matter

26:54... Marry me Phoebe. #Sigh.
