Takeaways:
The link between changes in our gut microbiome, and the increased prevalence of many chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, as well as the susceptibility to infectious diseases like COVID-19
How stress, diet, and sleep have major impacts on our gut microbiome
They also talk about a gut microbiota-targeted diet, rather than focusing on the right proportions of traditional macronutrients fat, carbs and protein

There’s a foundational piece of Functional Medicine that I find surprises many conventional health practitioners: it’s that the health of our gut impacts every other part of the body—even the brain. There are several reasons for this. When working correctly, our gut digests our food and absorbs nutrients so we can have energy and vitality. It eliminates toxins and fights pathogens. It’s also the home of trillions of microorganisms that aid in these processes and do so much more, like manage inflammation and produce transmitters.
I was excited to talk to Dr. Emeran Mayer on this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, all about nurturing the microbiome to support whole-body health and fight the epidemic of chronic disease. Dr. Emeran Mayer is the author of the recently released book The Gut-Immune Connection as well as The Mind-Gut Connection. He has studied brain-body interactions for the last forty years and is the executive director of the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience, and the founding director of the UCLA Brain Gut Microbiome Center at the University of California at Los Angeles. His research has been supported by the National Institutes of Health for the past twenty-five years, and he is considered a pioneer and world leader in the area of brain-gut microbiome interactions and its clinical implications.

Me with my friend
We do love your advice videos relating to health, mind, etcs
I love your channel, Dr. Hyman, but this video was too long and too technical. I’m looking forward to the abridged clip of this video that gets right to the point to help the layperson have a healthy microbiome.
I fast forward at times.
40:00-50:00 is the point, the rest is background and I wish…
Two of my favourites in one frame! It could not get any better! Sending regards!

Can you address the use of kefir and kumbucha?
Bada Jabardast interview aur Bada Jabardast story aur bahut majedar
What is the study cited about, time restricted feeding, mitagating a bad diet? Also still looking for the study you cited about juvenile detention and depression?
Okay I don’t hear any references on what to eat and what to avoid!
Humans have a high ph stomach for breaking down protein as well as a long small intestine and short large intestine (bad for fermentation) . Can someone please demonstrate how humans are supposed to be eating a plant based diet?
We are not suppose to be eating a plant based diet. Dr. Shawn Baker, he has a YouTube channel and he is an advocate for the Carnivore lifestyle. Check him out. The diseases and auto immune conditions they talk about here are being cured/remission when humans changed to an all animal based diet.
I have been on a carnivore lifestyle for a few months and I have lost about 60 pounds, sleep apnea reversed, and all my joint pain is gone.
Eat meat, save the humans!
Without the proper nutrition which we need a lot of according to what you guys are explaining! especially in the gut Flora , microbiome area, yes our diet plays an important role in that. It’s the absorption of the nutrients that plays a vital factor in our health. So as we know they’re certain proteins that are very evil lectin like the one in wheat, barley, Rye and oats! Destroy the gut lining to where we can not absorb our nutrients, is that not true?
My take aways: Diversity of microbes is key to healthy gut biome, which is key to overall health. Nurture richness & abundance of eco system. Fermented foods & a rich variety of (largely plant-based) foods support the gut biome. Time restricted or intermittent fasting is good. Making the first meal of the day around noontime and without carbs or sugar extends the ketogenic effects of the overnight fasting period.
The rich sees an economic crisis as a garage sale also the rich stays rich by investing and diversifying their portfolio with stocks, Crypto currency trading which is the wisest thing every individual needs to do and it’s real profiting
A friend that I referred to Mr Robert Walmsley just received €16,000 profits after 14 days of investing I became jealous..lol
I have watched his live webinar before I know he is very skilled
My first investment with Mr Robert gave me the assurance that has made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends involved with him already
All of these interviews are very enlightening unfortunately, finding a functional medicine Dr. is difficult at best. Referencing the website to find one is just as problematic as you waste a great deal of time trying to locate one who follows these protocols and when you call one whose been on Dr. Hyman’s interviews for a referral to one in your area, you NEVER receive a response.
Can you recommend a probiotic supplement?
Such helpful information. Thank you!
