Do THIS to INSTANTLY Improve Your Gut Health with Doctor Mike Hansen 

Every doctor ‘preaches’ fiber but not one ever explained it in such a way! Thanks!

What i like best about your videos is how straight forward and explanatory they are without becoming boring while at the same time being practical and beneficial on a daily basis. Thanks.

I’m SO glad you made this video. It’s crazy how little fiber we eat in our diets today, at least in the US. And I heard in another reputable science channel that it’s not just one fiber, but hundreds, when you look at them closely. And different microbiota need different fiber. That’s why it’s important to have a diverse diet of many types of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, oh, and mushrooms. Another oncologist out of University of California said 8-9 cups of these per person per day is what is needed to support the microbiome.

Congratulations on passing 1 Million Subscribers! Awesome work, always look forward to your videos!

Terrific video as gut health is finally being recognized by many more doctors for it's importance

Thank you Dr. Hansen! This video has contained very useful information. 👍

New to your channel, and genuinely love your videos. I've been on a health kick since struggling with my digestion, and I am the type who wants to know a little of the science of why I need to eat certain nutrients and foods. These videos are practical for people without any medical background but who have a serious interest in their health and body. Great video!!

I loved this video. It provides real data and information. I recently saw another video, recommending not to eat grains and to load on meat and eggs. It's hard for a consumer to find the correct information when some MDs have an agenda. The information just seems so discombobulated when every video you watch contra indicates the next one. Thank you, Doctor Mike.

Great video on the importance of our gut microbiome. Fiber, fiber, fiber is needed. I personally have an adverse reaction to most antibiotics. Fermented food also helps in keeping you gut microbiome balanced. 👍

Crazy how much more we know about how the body works! I try to stay up to date but without the in depth magazine articles that were more common even just 10 years ago its been hard to know what is solid science backed information Nothing new in fiber is good for you but knowing all these why’s makes it easier for me

I did a 2 week fruit and veggies cleanse a while back and felt great, digestion improved etc. One of the main reasons is I was actually getting enough fiber. He is 100 percent correct that most Americans don't.

Thanks Dr. Hansen, This latest topic videos are a huge help for me in making changes to my diet for better health. I'm truly appreciative. I wish you were here in Toronto, Canada so I could have you as one of my doctors. You would be able to help me with asthma and diet to. Hey, that might be an idea? How types of food effect our bodies negatively and positively. Keep Safe and Always Inspiring, Matt - Toronto, Canada

So important and essential, I've learned a lot from this video. Thank you

Excellent video slick and to the point no time wasting. Thank you so much

Thank you for the informative video doctor mike

Really good information. Thank you Dr Mike. Your videos are precise and well done. 👍

Thank you for the great video. Dr. Hansen, what suggestions are there for those of us that have difficulty with grains?

Love from Bangkok Thailand .. Hi ..Dr. Mike Thank you for the informative video so .. very Awesome work ...and congratulation on passing 1 million Subscribers wooo

lovely work! TY!

Can you do a full video on healing leaky gut. It’s a tough condition to heal.

Thank you Doctor.

Thanks Doc for that video. Very informative indeed. It would be nice to get info on IBS as well in one of your future videos.

Great bit of info!! Thank-you.

Hi Dr.Hansen good see you again like your videos Dr.Hansen is awesome and the best 👊💪💪💪take care pal have a good weekend 👊💪💪👍

I have to agree with all of the information you have shared about good Health 💯

Wonderful thank you😊🥰

I think I'd like to go on a guided field trip, maybe 4-6 people with one nutitionist, prowling a supermarket after hours so we could actually see and feel what our choices should or should not be. All different, but all guided. It is one thing to see a video, quite another to go hands on and drill in the actual memory.

I love this channel!

Awesome!!☺️🙏🏼

Thank you doctor Mike. I really need this right now. The other channel emphasized keto and I am not into it. And now I understand why all the protein from animal that I try to eat doesn't help much.

Here in Scotland, many people live off a daily diet of take-aways with resulting negative health outcomes. Trying to persuade people to buy (often much cheaper) fresh fruit and vegetables is almost an impossibility.

So informative!

Thanks for all the great advice 😊 will up my fiber intake

Great vid . Can u do a video on Malabsorption?

Couldn't agree more. We need *more* fiber and a *wider variety* of fiber, too! The later might even be more important than the quantity when it comes to building a healthy microbiota. It's also important to note that folks who have *lost tolerance to fiber* (common w/ IBS and SIBO, among other conditions) need to focus on building their tolerance again gradually. The answer is NOT to cut out fiber forever (ex. carnivore diet).

Thanks again for this valuable information handsome Dr Mike👍👍

Thanks for the helpful video. Any thoughts on using Metamucil for increasing daily fiber intake?

Hello Doctor Mike !

So, I have black beans ( in southwestern Mexico), white beans and lentils to eat this week. Plus heavy duty bread that is full of all kinds of seeds.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Do you also recommend eating fruit for insoluble fiber?

Just find you on youtube. Subscribed! Great video. Is there anything about fiber supplements you wanna/could share with us? As of psyllium husk? Metamucil? Ect ect.. Thank you again! 👌🏾👍🏾

Thank you for this highly informative video🥰😊🥰

Great info, thank you, I am a truck driver and I try to eat healthy but as a truck driver I can't always get to a better place to eat, any recommendations? And can yogurt help with it? If so can you recommend some? Thank you.

@Doctor Mike Hansen -- is leaky gut a real thing or a real diagnosis? Like would there be an insurance code for or would it be described in The Merck Manual? Or what do you mean by the term? An ex-girlfriend said she had it but it sounded more like diverticulitis with anxiety issues. TY in advance.

Would love to hear your take on Metamucil / Fibre 4 or adding fibre supplementation into diets

My only concern would be for the even slightly aged GI track, that absorbs and convert nutrients at a much slower rate.

Hi Doc, please can you list all ingredients as I have major gut IBS Issues but am allergic to many products. Thank you

Extremely interesting, Sir 👍

Always have to Appreciate you Dr Mike Bless🙏

Sir plz makea video on B complex dosage, how, whay we need but in depth

This is highly informative

thanks a lot

Good afternoon everyone 👋

Could you explain what is “inflammation”? It’s used so frequently and broadly. Does it mean all blood vessels become injected? What is it!

If you fast, does this cause the bacteria in the gut to eat the protective layer of the intestine?

Hi Dr. Hansen, good channel. I like kimchi but have seen positive reports and have seen some negative. Is kimchi a good choice? Thanks.

I eat all these but when you have sibo and hashimotos it gets complicated

Please can you do an enlightening video just like this, on treating acid reflux 🙏🏾

can you please make a video about nutrients that is important for gut microbiome besides fiber like flavonoids or ..!

This is a very important topic for me. I have had constipation issues for most of my life, although I only realize this in retrospect. I already have been getting plenty of fiber in my diet and drink plenty of water, and lately I started to eat fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, since many findings over the last decade show that eating fermented food regularly can have an even bigger impact on gut health than regularly eating fiber. But even if I have good bowel movements one day, it doesn't last very long. I always go back to having a streak of constipated days. I've learned that there is a strong associated with having ADHD, and having digestion issues. Something about the genetic makeup of certain ADHD people, like me, gives them issues with the gut.

Man, I have chronic intermittent constipation that doesn't respond to anything. I thought my codeine use was making it worse but I have to quit every 3 months for my drug tests & that's not the case. Even in acute withdrawals no pooping was happening last month even after 7 days clean. I eat Fiber All cereal every couple days, drink 1 gallon of water per day (minimum) & exercise but it does nothing. Then I'll be in a state of relative normalcy for no reason. Probiotics just make me feel tired & borderline sick. Could endometriosis be the cause? I've been this way my whole life but I really thought the painkillers were playing a bigger role than they are.

How to combine fiber with medications? 😢 Can I take psyllium husk on empty stomach?

I’m down with all those items except the bread/rice as I am working on reducing insulin response with a wearable CGM. Where does the orange powder fiber therapy fit in?

Interesting video. What about insoluble fiber suplements like psyllium husk (brand name: metamucil)?

I switched to a high fiber, whole food, plant based diet almost two years ago. I lost 60 lbs in my first year and have maintained it with no effort whatsoever. I look and feel better than I have in my whole life and Im 48. Focus on Fiber and Protein.

Good information! 👍🏼 (From India)

This video recommends 30 to 35 grams per day. Is it just me, or does that seem rather low? I've used Cronometer to do spot checks on my diet. Even in the most oppressively hot weather (95+ degrees) when I was eating only around 1600 calories per day (under the conventional 4/9/4 formula), my daily fiber intake was in the mid-40s. On a bitterly cold winter day when I ate around 3200 calories (under the conventional 4/9/4 formula), I ate close to 90 grams of fiber. In other words, I consume around 28 grams of fiber per 1000 calories. I've read that at least 14 grams of fiber per 1000 calories is recommended, so I consume about double what's recommended.

I've found that a small amount of psyllium (the usual 5 capsule dose, sometimes a little more) keeps a particular overgrowth problem in check. This coupled with acidophilus and maybe an occasional multi-strain probiotic dose (say monthly or as needed), fixes most gastro issues. On occasion (e.g. taco bell nights), a little "beano" helps. On the other hand, anything with methylcellulose or large dose of gluten or fructans in it causes massive bad effects, so I avoid those.

Love Ezekial bread!

Do you think we need gut microbiome test to establish based line and go from there?

Awesome video👍🎩👍

Diet stuff really is such a detriment. So glad I never was big on it. Our brains tend to justify eating more of it anyways. off topic. Did you get to see Home Free's version of the old Everly Bros/Linda Rondstadt song When Will I Be Loved? It was sooooooo cute. I am so surprised how well behaved those two cats are. Liking that shirt, btw :) Thanks for this and take care.

I cannot eat fiber and green greens because of my Crohns desease. I eat minimum amount of greens. In addition, can green powder help me? So i still get 'some form of greens'

Would it be ok to get my fiber through a plant based fiber chewable supplement & prune juice ( and maybe some Metamucil ???

Can you help with phlegm? Curious if it’s long covid

IVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY GUT FOR A GOOD YEAR everything i eat comes right out in less than 2 mins or id be in pain from eating anything really i just started this plant base diet and its ok but my stomach still cant hold it all long enough

Unfortunately that's not for everyone !! I have immune reaction for fiber for a while because of infections and I only thing I had was carnivore 😁😁 ! So that's video not the whole solutions or even the whole story about gut disorders

Do you recommend fiber supplements? Solufibre or regular fiber?

Plz make video on gerd...how to be come out from it

So many questions, do you have to eat breads? I am celiac and obese. Trying to do a keto type diet where I am eating no bread or flour of any kind. I need more information.

Did anyone see the link to the probiotic vid he mentioned?

You’ll notice that he recommends wild rice, not white or brown rice, which are contaminated with arsenic.

I’m a vegetarian and I get lots of fiber, but I also have trouble with digestion and going to the bathroom.

I went grain free and my decades old, chronic back pain disappeared in just 2 days! So many reasons not to eat wheat, corn and even limit ancient grains to occasional consumption..

Eat mostly plants, some meat, limit starch, stop eating sugar.

Thanks Dear Doctor for your wonderful advice 👍👍👍👍👍❣️🙏

Hi does movicol damage the gut microbiome?

Would love to hear your reaction to the film Forks Over Knives. @Doctor Mike Hansen

I liked to see a video 📸 on healing an ulcer. No cabbage please

Everytime that backing track comes on i keep thinking cry me a river is about to come on 😂

although it contains fibre.. do not consume beetroot.. especially if you get bloating alot

Chia seeds is full of fiber.

I understand whole organic food is better but... Are you saying processed oats and brown bread do not help at all?

What about those of us who need to gain weight?

Fiber is not essential.

Should also be mentioned that the reason some cancer therapies work on some people but not on others seems to have to do with microbiome diversity, and people with a better diversity have better results. These are very recent studies, more will be investigated, but this does seem to be what the findings show. So yeah, eat those prebiotics.

Some (if not, a lot) of people don't eat fibrous foods these days.

So if I make my own bread and grind my own wheat is that whole grain?

Sigh. I just finished McDonalds for lunch, Coke, fries, 1/4 lb burger. Ooops.

35-? Grams but you didn't say how much that translates to in food... eg how many cups of broccoli or wild rice etc. Would be efficient to the aim of your video to actually know what to eat; as in how much. A few examples ease the complete unrelatable ambiguity of grams. (I say this because the video is so informatively useful and a relief and helpful otherwise. ! 🥰🤗)
