Hiiii all! Thanks for the feedback and support. Just wanted to make a quick correction to something I said around 8:22--I intended to say that the brain doesn't take up *nonessential* amino acids from the circulation. Nonessential amino acids are the amino acids that can be produced by our bodies. This is because specifically nonessential amino acids directly serve as neurotransmitters (e.g. glycine and glutamate) so their uptake would directly impact brain levels of these molecules and create a difficult to regulate environment. Essential amino acids serve as precursors to neurotransmitters (e.g. tryptophan->serotinin, phenylalanine->tyrosine->dopamine). For this reason, because multiple steps are required to convert these essential amino acids into the active neurotransmitter, these can be taken up by the brain without wreaking havoc because the brain can regulate their conversion. I apologize for misspeaking and hope this clarification makes sense!

So I was really excited when this video came out, as I'm homozygous AA for the FUT2 gene mutation and have suffered digestive issues since as early as I could remember, there's just hardly any information around on this issue, what kind of diet 20% of the population should be eating to not just maintain internal balance but actually be really healthy! last year my regular eating and lack of knowledge resulted in abnormal thyroid results, developing pain in my gallbladder area, and psoriasis all over my hands. I attribute this to inflammation and immune responses because of the FUT2 mutation... I cut (most of the) gluten from my diet and eat a lot of high fibre and fermented foods, I've lowered carbs too. I take kefir and sauerkraut everyday and also brought the HMO powder. HOWEVER, I have no way of knowing if these fermented foods I am eating have enough bifidobacterium or if they are just jam packed with Lactobacillus! Really frustrating. I don't want to be having HMO's to colonise bifidobacterium in my gut which isn't there yet! I was also a C section birth which I know has huge implications on my current adult microbiome. Any tips or advice on how to consistently repopulate bifidobacterium (and on a budget) would be greatly appreciated?!?
Wow, Dr. Alexis was great! I have been researching the microbiome and how it affects our health since I was told I had MS 11 years ago. I no longer have MS and am in the best health of my life at 49! Thanks again Mike for a great interview!
Can be reversed or we are just one of God’s miracles 😆😆😆 Funny thing is the miracle didn’t happen until we researched it. MS 🥾 Off the meds for 5 years and healthier than my teens at 43 👍
Hi quick question…my mom has MS. Did you heal your gut in order to reverse MS? Did your lesions heal? Carnivore has helped her to a little and she’s off meds but I believe she needs food diversity = bacterial diversity
@@hartallie Healed the gut to reverse the MS. Main points are to balance the biome and get that diversity back so everything works and nourishes the body as it should. Fasting 👍 Very few things on this earth were designed to continually consume and devour without wear and tear. You’ll very rarely hear anyone talking about the G.I. Tract having the ability to change out all the cells on the lining every 48 hrs. 48 hr water fast 🤔 No connection though 🤣 Always best to make sure your well nourished prior too though. Man / Woman walked this earth for centuries going for days without food and at times water. Why is it we have such an issue with health now that food is in abundance 🤔
@@debramccawley1714 have you been tested for the MTHFR gene? That might be your problem with dairy and fermented foods although that’s not the only gene mutation/snp that might be affecting your digestion. Look up Dr. Ben Lynch and his book “Dirty Genes”
I had H Pylori infection and IBS for years. The antibiotics worked and killed the bacteria but I was left with bad symptoms such as cramps, weekly diaherra and low red blood count. So I decided to try something different. I started to fast and take cabbage juice to heal my gut. Let's just say I have no symptoms of IBS and it's been a year.
Dang! She’s amazing! Thanks so much for bringing her on. I was intrigued by her explanation of why butyrate and bifido bacteria are crucial to fight inflammation in the body and brain, and the importance of red polyphenols and human milk oligosaccharides as prebiotics. Also, her info on dental health was beyond invaluable. Bring her back, please!
I was still breastfeeding my kiddo when I got really bad food poisoning. It left me with sibo I believe. I had to self diagnose because when I went to the doc (really PAs and FNPs), they were more concerned with this depression I'd been having. I tried to tell them the mind and gut are connected and having tummy troubles for weeks with a under 1 year old certainly will bum a person out as I was not feeling like this before (I'm a registered dietitian)... but they gaslit me a few times until I became more depressed and tummy troubles got worse. I actually started to believe I was just a depressed new mom like they said I was (wanted me to take SSRIs), so I researched depression and got the great advice that we should all be "treating ourselves like we would our children.". That made the mama bear come out. I started charting until I was convinced it was a GI issue like I thought originally. I initially fasted for 3 days, lemon water and oregano oil. I added back in very bland keto foods gradually for about three weeks, kept to keto, fasted for a couple of days here and there, regularly fasting for 16 hours every day and kept with the oregano oil regiment. It took a few months but I got better. I have since returned to my normal healthy eating patterns and dropped the oregano oil. I eat for the gut, heavy in fermented foods and pickled things, and lots of fiber and meats. The way I talk to clients about their health has changed. I insist on focusing on the gut. In doing so I have also came to the conclusion that women that struggle with weight really need to focus on pelvic alignment as major muscle groups are impacted.
I was reading recently about how plants use their roots to take bacteria into the plant. I also read that it’s not just the roots where they find this micro flora. And glyphosate is also essentially an antibacterial chemical and it is taken in by gmo plants. So one of the big reasons we should be eating organic plants or plants which do not have chemicals which are effectively antibacterial in them is so that we can seed the gut with those bacteria … if we eat glyphosate it destroys the gut bacteria and it destroys bacteria in the plants that seed the gut.
I love the flavor of fermented foods but it always feeds a yeast infection! It acts as fermenting sugar in gut. Once I quit fermented foods my gut health got better and yeast infections disappeared.
Great interview - she is awesome! I'm dealing with an IBD called Microscopic Colitis - and have recently learned about the issues with high oxalate foods as they relate to gut health. Would love to hear your take on it, Mike.
It would likely benefit you greatly to try a 30-90 day elimination diet like Carnivore. Lots of people who go Carnivore reverse horrible digestive tract, bowel, and colon conditions. Search youtube for Dr Ken Berry - colon
Depression is 100% diet. I have been shocked at the response to the ketogenic diet in this house! I now believe that mental and physical chronic illness has to do with diet, particularly fibre, but also meat (as in eat meat!)
If we take animal kingdom. There are carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, scavengers etc All they have their own microbiomes. We don't say that lion should eat blueberries or dark fruits to make his microbiome better. And butyrates are produced by the body on keto diet. :) So the "carnivores" among us have the assumption that THIS is the evolutionary appropriate way of eating. Hence, there is no need in these fruits. In this case only specific RCTs or time can show if they are correct.
I wish you asked her about the presence of histamines in fermented foods, what are her thoughts about that, histamine sensitivity, how does she address that or treat that in clients!
I definitely understand what she means about pure carnivores missing out. I'm a big big fan of eating a lot of fish and meat, but I also eat asparagus and onions for my gut, I eat broccoli and mushrooms for my testosterone, I also eat peppers for flavor and I do cycle in a little bit of white rice but that's pretty much it
I think the key word here is Sprinkle. It probably isn’t great for most humans to have tons of veggies or carbs daily with each meal. I’ve been working for months to find my perfect balance. I enjoy all food which is how I ended up being so over weight. Even while eating keto, I would tend to overeat veggies causing weight gain. Personally, I’ve found using small amounts as flavoring helps. Like putting mushrooms and onion on my steak. I get some veggies but it enhances the steak more. I also have one meal a week, usually a restraint meal with family, where I will have rice, extra veggies and other more normal American diet stuff. I stay away from fried foods and processed items like bread or pastas though.
So ferments with berries added to primarily carnivore will suffice to feed the gut? Haven’t heard the very end but I’d like to have an upshot of a diet for the gut that includes weight loss.
As someone who has a positive mthfr gene, histamine producing foods are a no-no. That would include fermented vegetables, as well as leftovers, which I consume often until learning about it. How does someone with this gene variant/snp overcome this issue? There’s so little info out there 😢
@@bettykramos1802 I think prebiotic foods are fine, as far as I can tell. It’s the fermented foods that are a bigger issue. You might want to pick up a copy of Dr. Robin Terranella’s book “MTHFR Gene Therapy Demystified.” It’s a great resource and a quick read, as well as Dr. Ben Lynch’s book “Dirty Genes”…
Regarding fermented foods in American diet. Before the 1960s, fermented foods were extremely common in American household. I’m 73 and I know this to be a fact. Don’t make the assumption that call western food is stupid and bad. My parents and grandparents, and everybody they knew, made sauerkraut and naturally fermented pickles on a very regular basis. Very few vegetables were available in the winter, and most household had a cold cellar To store what could be stored over at least part of the winter. Rats and other vermin work usually discouraged by having a big nasty cat in the house. Wood shavings work put over baskets or tubs of vegetables to keep out vermin as well.. The American diet didn’t suffer serious deterioration until the late 1950s, with the introduction of massive amounts of relatively cheap frozen foods. Most American housewife embrace these eagerly, as nobody had any idea that all of the additives would be so so harmful long term.
Well the intro makes sense because we are a living organism is made up of living organisms and stuff that are fermented or living organisms haha but yes we also need a high protein diet and a high-fat diet because essential amino acids and essential fatty acids are necessary to sustain life
Like if food passes through too quick your bacteria doesn't have time to do its job, too slow the food rots. How fast should food go through you. How long can you fast before bacteria starts eating your gut lining. How important is what you ate when you are young, ie dirt, breast milk, chemical exposure to gut bacteria. Has the toxic vaccine harmed gut bacteria
I wish I could understand anything 😢😢😢.. I can’t lose weight.. losing my mind!! My appetite is unstoppable, I can’t fight it. Gym every day, all joints hurt, I’m exhausted, how can I stop my appetite? Surgery is too expensive☹️☹️
I was never breast fed and very interested in HMOs. I’m not sure if this is a silly question but if dairy gives me acne, can I still take HMOs? I read somewhere that they could trigger acne for some so I’m a bit nervous to try. I can digest Disney fine and am not lactose intolerant but dairy has always been my enemy!
@46:02 Dental Health 1) Nano Hydroxyapatite Natural Toothpaste. 2) Don't use mouthwash 3) Supplement with Vitamin D + K2 4) You can heal cavities yourself
there is an error in logic, lady proposal is eat food x to digest y and feed bacteria resposible to digest x.. if you eat y you gonna have bacteria digest y etc kind regards
I only use mouth rinse when I have a sore throat while not wanting to use saltwater but it's been such a long time since that, looking at my mouth rinse in my bathroom, it is getting a little dusty
I just get loads of gas and bloating with any fermented veg. And i cant tolerate dairy even kefir...so this is a no for me. I have seen good effects with bigh quality probiotics in tablet in past though.
I really want this message to reach a wider audience. Would you please, put shorts of it on RU-vid and TikTok? People at times just want to see tiny clips, this would boost viewership and target audiences that want to see such awesome content.
I’ll be buying your NAC and glycine to see better results. Thanks for everything you do man, we also neighbors, I live in snohomish WA. Better useful information, I truly do appreciate everything you’re doing to make society healthier 🙏
@@cristhiandecastro464 nothing this clown is pushing for profit is 3rd party tested. He's a salesman, selling products for profit and simply reads articles, he has absolutely no medical degree and he all he does is tell you to do the research yourself. He's a clown. We all know about fermentation. What about a carnivore diet. The one and only diet a human needs to thrive! We need the fat in meats especially grass-fed red meat, grass-fed butter is so healthy for you it's amazing. It changed my life and so many others. Do the research.. Don't be sheep listening to these clowns. Carnivore diets have saved millions of lives.. Cleared up skin, cleared up brain fog, depression, healed auto immune disease, diabetes cleared up no more insulin.. All from a carnivore diet. Take what they say with a grain of salt. We don't need carbs, we've been lied to for decades with the flawed diet pyramid. No sugar, no carbs (very minimal if possible) Wild caught salmon, cod, shell fish if not allergic are also part of a carnivore diet.

Ending almost every comment with that higher tone is annoying. I could only make it half way before I grew tired of her every sentence sounding like a question.
🤪💭🧠❔ Why the need to speak so fast ,why not speculate and why not admit to we don't know in another hundred years or so we'll have another 20 % of pathways figured and the yhe complexity will emerged and so on ,but interesting it makes sense to try to explain it in interlinked pathways nit just skipping from one area to another, but heh we need to understand processes thoroughly matching lab data with actual human physiological and subjective markers ,sounds old fashioned but human beings are NOT lab rats biochemistry is conjectural it all works holistically syncronistically as a complete sytem , matching from one level to another much higher level ie integrative whole body pyscho social even spiritual but yes interesting a book helps to start with, NOTE very few people will even understand the basics , to say yes when it takes degree level biochem physics biology to appreciate at this level, how does the body even sense minute diffs between molecules etc on a molecular level I believe some kind of quantum field - conscious spiritual effect is guiding all of this ,mind as matter but heh its just a theory ,speculation on my part ,what helps us live optimally and not fall into a pit if despair or obsession !? Sorry Mike as you know struggling 10 + years 90% loss teeth ,cycling accidents broken right elbow 2019 2020,struggling to stay fit wondering what's going wrong . Reading endocrinology just realized HOW absolutely imp glucose spiking is to longer term produces pernicious systemic organ damage and endocrine in balance, my G.P missed all this now have some other problems parathyroid ,am listening the metabolic pathways of glucose are completely different from direct glucose metabolism exactly ,glucose spikes over the longer term in my opinion the most destructive process,what she is saying doesn't quite make sense,alot does my intuitive feeling is that it IS our fundamental maximal health is this creation of sufficient endogenous glucose .Fascinating AA transport makes sense .Great ... It makes sense to work from stomach down ,BETAIN ,bile acids right pH and motility,fermentation is the problem ?It seems qe have small pieces of the puzzle can't quite make a holistic picture from this ,what about matching this to actually symptoms and feelings of health and well ness but biochemistry is surely the secondary point ,HEALTH is surely the central point ,but great anyway makes sense 👍
