What Role Does our Microbiome Play in a Healthy Diet? with Tim Spector
Video taken from the channel: The Royal Institution
The microbiome diet is a whole-food diet that focuses on consuming mostly fruit, vegetables, lean protein and a large amount of prebiotic and probiotic foods. It’s a three-phase program that starts out with an elimination diet, which creator Dr. Raphael Keller claims restores gut health in people who have been eating non-microbiome-friendly foods for a long time.The microbiome diet is a plant-based diet that may promote beneficial microorganisms in the gut.
A diverse microbiome reduces the risk of some diseases, and probiotics can improve the symptoms of.There are some disadvantages to following the microbiome diet. First, the diet is very restrictive and requires cutting back on many types of foods. Second, the diet is not budget-friendly since it involves the consumption of organic foods, cage-free eggs, gluten-free grains, and free-range meat. These foods are more expensive compared to their regular counterparts.
Conclusion.Phase 1 of a microbiome diet focuses on eliminating the foods that are disrupting your intestinal track and slowing the growth of good gut bacteria. Having a healthy gut diet alone can restore your gut flora and significantly increase the number of good bacteria in your microbiome. The Come and Go.
Macrobiotics is a lifestyle stressing balance and harmony. It includes a rigorous diet plan, gentle exercise, and behavioral changes. All are geared towards obtaining a natural and calm way of life.
It produces discharge which washes off the bad bacteria and dead cells. Therefore, the powerful combination of its self-cleaning abilities, good bacteria, and local immune defense can keep your vaginal microbiome balanced. (6) How does the vaginal microbiome work? The vaginal microbiome is rich with many kinds of microbes.Human microbiome research is an actively developing area of inquiry, with ramifications for our lifestyles, our interactions with microbes, and how we treat disease.
Subsequently, the individual host and host diet shapes the relative abundances of these taxa (Ley et al., 2005; Rawls et al., The pros and cons of these three methods are.Pros • Improvement in symptoms • Decrease in inflammation • Changed/improved microbiome • Possibly reduce need for medication Cons • Restricted diet • Potential impact on growth in children • Expense • Cooking time and skills • Social impact • Duration of diet.4.

Again another fact that seems to support the blood type diets of D’Adamo. Indeed a lot of bacteria species have been shown to have preferences for some blood types. Which explains how some people are fine with meat intakes.
At 19.00 he should have said “…gained less weight.” Looking to his Powerpoint presentation, you can see for every gram of extra fibre in the diet, they gained 2 kgs less…’
P.S. All of the twins were gaining some weight due to aging over the years.
Is an Indian Vegetarian diet with veggies, Rice, Milk products, nuts Turmeric,spices the right way to save your gut. I have gerd but the indian diet have worked well for me except milk. Yogurt is a medicine for me if taken in afternoon.
Youtube video focused more on the speaker instead of his slides. Great speaker but it would be better for someone who is watching the video to see the speaker’s slides more, and not the speaker.
Best response to the diverse reactions we all have from eating the same stuff.
Fad diets will hopefully be a thing we look back upon in dismay.
So, so many people tell us a good diet will help us but never go so far as to tell the listeners what that diet is. Shame on them.
Yes, I think this is all very interesting. But as far as health and chronic disease, I’m convinced it boils down to insulin that is, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. That’s where the focus needs to be optimizing inputs and environment to promote insulin sensitivity. Everything else is essentially distraction and disinformation cloud.
Dietary advice from doctors of my generation was, basically, “put the knife and fork down”.
At 18:30 he explains that eating fibre prevents weight loss.
Later he explains that fibre is good for gut microbes and gut microbes are good for weight loss.
I know someone who received a poo transplant after his cancer. It’s working great.
Getting fat is a problem, but if you are skinny, that’s by no means an assurance your’re healthy…lots of skinny Type 2 diabetics out there.
A good introduction for public. I would imagine the book should be including the results of research for the interested audience.
Thanks… you gave me the information I’m looking for about where my diet is off because I eat the same thing almost everyday so my belly fat seems permanent until now that I know to embrace diversity in my food choices.
Very informative, useful. It’s all about the gut and yes you are what you eat!
She is also very funny and the crowd very boring
I have no guts to not overeat after I was deprived when I was small… sorry!
Autism is connected to gut health? Seriously, where’s the evidence for such a huge claim?
Excellent presentation on a very timely and relevant topic.
Is there a study in the U.S. which is the equivalent of the ‘British Gut Project’ in determining an individual’s microbiome diversity?
I really liked the conference, very well explained and with very nice pictures, congratulations.
I’m very surprised that people here were so unfamiliar with Kefir, this is very old stuff.
Glyphosate is an antibiotic sprayed on everything and it is necessary for nothing. It tricks organisms into thinking it is glycine, horrible results, liver offloads toxins into fat, causing obesity?
I wouldn’t recommend eating peanuts ever mold mildew pesticides herbicides insecticides the worst thing one can ingest sorry I don’t agree
and doctors won’t tell you about it. they much rather prescribe something or act like you’re the crazy one. after about a decade of my own research (thank God for books and the internet), i just learned about gut microbiome a year ago.
thank you for your dedication and this video.
So we could say she had a healthy level of epinephrine to get up that stage ������
Very interesting and helpful. Professor Tim Spector has been researching for many years and I am proud to have been a part of his research over the many years previous with my twin sister. They are still asking for more volunteers all the time. Especially with this gut research, as this will help us understand how our body works towards what we eat and drink and were we live and our life style. I hope in the coming future there will be more help and understanding for our wellbeing. Well done to you Tim Spector.
I went anti biotics for a month and later stress in my office, later I been diagnosed with multiple vitamin deficiency. Now healing
by seeing this video I’ve learn one thing >> Do not use sanitizer as it kills the good bacteria
Thanks for the great information. It certainly supports eating a high diversity diet.
When was this from? This is advice you would have heard 15-20 years ago. I have watched so many lectures from top experts and follow all of the clinical trials and the watch he saying that we think is from decades ago. There are too many people who think high-fat diets are the problem now. We all know processed high sugar foods is a big problem and yet he’s we all still think the former. There were many things he say like this. He wasn’t completely wrong. It’s like he researched online and took half the information from now and half the information from the 1980’s or 1990’a. Some of the stuff contradicted what all the researcher working solely on gut bacteria. I know he’s a doctor but that certainly doesn’t mean he knew anything about gut bacteria other then what he has read online. Matter of fact he said this much at the beginning of the lecture. Just not in those exact words. But he did say that he tried old fashion diets to start with until he researched more. I am not at all impressed with this lecture and the information that he is passing out. It is true so it seems that gut bacteria is most likely responsible for obesity, diabetes 2, and many more chronic diseases. Take his advice with a grain of salt but do do as he says and vary your diet and the vegetables that you eat.
What an excellent talk and research thank you! Glyphosate is creeping more and more into our food chain. For example, I believe avocados are now sprayed with it to prolong shelf life and crops are sprayed with Glyphosate prior to harvest to dry them off. But Glyphosate is also patented as an antibiotic so could this be reducing our western microbiome? Is your research looking at this possibility?
…Yah,..and listen to your feet and bones!..why the need for the unnatural, handicapping high heels ��???
…Man,…some people!
…I mean, You look through a microscope all day to see what your microbes are telling you,…but you can’t see or choose to ignore your feet…. ��
awesome talk but I’ve been on this problem for years. I took many antibiotics for the times I had pneumonia and bronchitis. how do I know what my gut needs??!?!? blindly go vegan? then only meat diet? do I just try a bunch of trends until I find one? what can I do if it’s unfixable? I have Fibromyalgia, Reynodes syndrome, anxiety and IBS. Health shakes make me bloated like crazy, sometimes I eat a hamburger and feel fine and sometimes I don’t, same with broccoli. where’s the answer??
Is it jist me or why all of the sudden are Professionals acting like they care about. Us or out health. So why start now.
If you hadn’t heard the term ‘gut microbiome’ until this video was posted six months ago… you probably aren’t here learning about it now.
zach bush has some good info along these lines.. he is also very concerned with the effects of glyphosate (roundup etc) as it is apparently patented as an anti-biotic not a weed killer.
I believe diet plays a huge role in both mental and physical illnesses. Probably more then most people realise, I mean you put good oil in a car to make it run better and extended its life, humans are way more valuable then any car so why is it so hard for us to do the same with food? You are what you eat. There is a lot of information all over the internet on food and the brain gut and physiology. Still no solid evidence to back it up tho… call me a conspiracy theorists but I don’t think they really want us to know, I mean if a simple diet change can cure hereditary or even terminal illness doctors and pharmaceutical company’s can’t bank on it. What’s a doctor without patients? If no-one got sick billions of dollars and years of medical school are at stake is that something they really want to risk?
Linsey McLean startednVita Royal, Inc. 40 years ago.
She also was a Bio Chemist. She testified in front of Congress several times. Her company makes USP grade feed for horses. She was amazing. Thank you for bringing this to the public.
I thought science told us that probiotics are bad for the microbiome, as they tend to overpopulate and unbalance it. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/culture-shock-questioning-the-efficacy-and-safety-of-probiotics/
Does anyone here know the interaction between emotional numbness and tyrosine? My depression developed back in two years ago mainly because of suffering from tremendous stress that were not properly sorted out. The aftermath was emotional numbness which still carries on today. I wonder if there’s correlation between this symptom of depression and the lack of tyrosine, and how stress affects the concentration of tyrosine in our body. Thanks
Excellent talk and science. Most dietary advice to date has been completely unsound. It is very encouraging to see medicine begining to get its act together as we see here. Given that most of our disease epidemics seem to be related to diet this is not before time. Doctors are still prescribing low fiber diets to people with diverticulitus, most likely it was a low fiber diet that gave them the diverticulitus in the first place. Saturated fat does not cause heart disease, the sugar that has replaced it in our diets is probably respoinsible for the diabetes epidemic. The NHS recently upped its diietary advice from the 20g of fiber a day to 30g of fiber a day so some progress is being made.
When someone talks to me about health whether they’re a doctor, nurse, or academic what I like to pay particular attention to is that person’s health. Do they look/seem healthy?
This woman is 38 years old. She looks to me more like 28. She is fit, and she seems like a basically relatable, likable person (so, emotionally healthy as well). I can’t shake the feeling that she practices what she preaches. And to me, that’s a sign that she knows what she’s talking about.
Most of this is great, but fermented foods are widely promoted despite there being little to no support for them in the literature. They contain non-host-native microbes and thus can in no way restore lost host-native microbes.
Great presentation. Most of the information about the gut is not new. She talked about why it’s important to maintain a healthy gut but would have appreciated some suggestions on how. The talk ended so abruptly!
I am really looking forward to the advancements to come in personalized, data backed diet advice. I would love to be able to wear a glucose monitor and get my biome sequenced so that I could have a better idea of what foods i should eat and avoid.
I suppose I must have some microbes that love milk and dairy products:) Though for some reason they hate fungi, especially mould in cheese.
Seek Jesus Christ God, do as she instructed. Proverb’s 22:3 Acts 6:4. Act’s 13:1-3 Acts 14:21-23
Eat a whole foods plant based diet. Good bacterial diversity, low BMI.
The comment that healthy gut microbiome is killed and may never recover (from the causes she lists and others)…,
interesting newer studies that appear to show high promise that prolonged fasting (more than 3 -5 days) can empty your gut of bad biome. When you break fast, you select foods high in healthy probiotics and the result is they flourish and they’re calling it a “Reset” of your gut microbiome.
Apparently a lot of natural Autophogy principles to which we can benefit as well
Yo the tryptophan in tirkey eill not make you sleepy. It’s the desert ��
i havv to go to th bathroom…cant hear this..yet..need to feel l v done my part..lol..
This is an experiment. I lasted until 7:50, and he has given lots of personal more or less contrarian and weighty opinions in an authoritative manner without laying out good scientific reasoning or much in way of proofs etc.(Yep, I did to various degrees disagree with many of his opinions, which motivated the comment, but doesn’t invalidate the point I’m trying to make.) Let me jump to 20:00, and see if it the talk gets beyond opinions and facts aimed at telling us how amazingly important microbiome is. (Despite the hype, and some very interesting facts etc., there doesn’t seem to be huge effects in the many experiments that have been made by now, it seems to me.)
Beyond 20:00, now at 22:37. This was a much better experience as he talks about some real experiments, but he’s still in narration mode, trying to make the case that microbiome is huge. But, as he concludes, with the supposed thin-making bacteria in some people’s guts, the people who have tried to supplement these in cereals. didn’t succeed. Facts over narration.
I’m sorry to leave this kind of sour comment, but since this video was so well liked, and being published on a prestigious science channel, I thought it could potentially be worth saying. And maybe my judgment is off, I only watched 10mins, my credentials in science are modest etc.
At least we’re all united in our efforts of critical thinking, eh?:)
Have a nice day.
This just talks about increasing the diversity of the microbiome to decrease individual species influence over the body. In a situation of majority rules, gut flora can gang up on a person’s behavior influencing systems, if any one species is allowed to become too numerous. This isn’t because they have cooperative intelligence of some sort, but rather because our systems have cooperative intelligence and impose that on anything found inside us, to maintain homeostasis. I solved this problem by adding a security protocol for implementing cooperation protocols on newly detected units, preventing cooperation with foreign entities. They are still grouped by similarity, for increased understanding of the signals they provide, but there is no cooperative care involved. That, combined with some clean up procedures, solves the microbiome influence problem in every area that my systems are currently aware of.
Why aren’t parents teaching kids this (at home)?? Oh wait… cause THEY can’t possibly bring themselves to admit that they too are addicted to bad food! ❤️������
So basically you are telling me that we have to eat healthy to stay healthy.
Wow. Who would have thought that.
Besides stop trying to be funny. You are not.
Ok this was informative about the types of chemicals we need to sustain our gut health…but is anyone else more curious about the mind gut connection?
I follow my gut instinctively and can always feel when something is off.
Great talk. Lucky for me both my parents were food-wise.
Force-fed cod liver oil, brewer’s yeast and wheat germ in the 1950s.
Fast food is okay once in awhile, but not too often.
oo…..fasting…and th body returns to health..cause cells..life.nature…are encoded to work great…we just need stop interfering with our big ignorance and poor choices…free will and lack of discernment is bad for health..lol
I find myself wanting to get my doctor to watch this video. Fascinating and actually full of helpful and non extreme advice. Excellent presentation. Thank you.
I have lived all my life on a diet considered by all as highly dangerous not by choice but by genetic makeup. I do not produce any of the enzyme required to metabolize Fructose fruit sugar.
So I have not been able to eat any fruit or vegetables my whole life.
I am now 63. Able to walk up mountains, and nearly keep up with a group of 30 year olds over an assault course! I am still fit enough to join the British army. I do not work out or exercise at all.
My blood pressure is fine and my cholesterol level is medium (3)
I eat only meat, cheese, sugar free bread, rice and pasta. Occasionally I will eat potato chips and green leaves of cabbage spinach floppy lettice and watercress. However I also eat a lot of herbs and whole seeds of spices. Such as fennel, coriander, celery seeds etc etc.
Not having been diagnosed until I was in my mid 20’s and not receiving any worthwhile dietary advice ever from so called professional dietitians. I finally worked out what I could and could not safely eat only about 15 years ago. I recently had an MRI and ultrasound scan of my liver. We were expecting considerable damage from the decades of poor diet. My liver is enlarged about 100mm wider than it should be however there was no sign of damage or residual fatty deposits. The world expert on this condition Professor T Cox of Addenbrooks hospital Cambridge was amazed. He was expecting substantial damage as he had seen in other patents. I do have to eat probiotic yogurt every day and supplement my dietary fibre intake with none digestible fibre. I am now setting up a support group to help parents of HFI children and anyone diagnosed with the same genetic abnormality. I have linked all the English speaking social media support pages to this lecture. It is a really important source of information.
I feel like the higher ups have held the gut Information from us so they can keep us sick and sell us pills.
I believe if one overpopulates ones microbiome through probiotics that contain a random selection of “good” bacteria species based on nothing but statistics, the best way to get a re-do at a balancing action is to include fasting, simply to reduce the number of bacteria present in the gut.
These bacteria are constantly multiplying, dieing, fighting over resources, just like animals in nature or fish in the ocean. What you feed them determine which ones get the upper hand. It IS an ecosystem. If you take plenty of probiotics and eat lots of fiber, it’s possible a species of bacteria that doesn’t suit you overpopulates your intestine and it won’t die off or be countered by other species until it’s source of nutrition is lessened or lost.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Umoru who cured me from Herpes with his effective herbal medicine which I ordered. You can get more information on Dr Umoru YouTube channel.
Diatamatious Earth cleaned my gut and it fixed something in my head that was all jumbled up.Also Probiotics help bring good bacteria to the gut.
She really didn’t give any helpful information for correcting this condition.
A lot of the gut-brain connection in particular is fascinating to me. Seems like there’s still a lot of research that needs to be done.
here I am trying to learn some microbiome recipes and these vapid attention hungry hosts offer nothing to the segment but childlike annoyance. Thanks YouTube
Unless you can afford a high dollar diet you need supplements.
Dairy & animal testing causes animal suffering,we must not cause harm in our Life to promote ourselves,as everything is connected.If one hurts we all hurt. Plant based foods give us all that we require to stay healthy….fact.
What an excellent flow of vital information.. she is amazing too
You’re a biochemist who says that it’s healthy to eat animal flesh, Cow milk/dairy, and eggs. Oh, OK… ��
Fat gutted people were on high fibre but slimmer people were on low fibre? And then the more they increased their fibre intake the more weight they lost?? Would help if this talk actually made sense!!
What an excellent talk. Excited to apply this to my life and diet, and potentially look towards getting a microbiome analysis post dietary corrections!!
I am a retired physician studying Whole Food Plant Based nutrition where the amount of prebiotic fiber is pivotal for the bugs. Wonderful presentation, indeed a timely insight to many recent publications but with personnel (n=1), clinical and research data. The ‘soil food web’ is yielding similar recognition as to soil health. New vistas! Thanks.
sounds kinda unethical giving your son a microbiome syndrome
1997 food started having pestisides, cancer, anxity. Vaccines dobthe same.
Based on her talk, I’m going to get some sauerkraut today! Great talk.
Brilliant to see the love for your work. Thanks for sharing this. I found Prof. Sector’s book fascinating too.
Great talk
Yes. Your second brain is your gut
It is amazing how, when,where things happen
Just like to share a message from my side
This is a great scripture
John 7:38
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
This is from the OKJV Bible
I hope you look at it and spot my message.
The Father loves us so much
And he knows all THINGS
Well he designed us ����������
This is a super important topic. Especially in the time of covid!
Nothing new. This is all known for times, yeah only some technicality is new…And we all need to simplify our lives, thoughts and karma. Rest will happen…but we r busy creating $millions, partying, gossiping, and investing time in jealousy, hatred, and insecurity…no microbiome can survive healthy within us! Stop the materialistic living and madness. You will find the peace within with a healthy gut. Good luck.
Remind me never to give a talk to an audience in Fargo!!!
Notwithstanding the above, great talk!
Tim Spector’s book “The Diet Myth” was actually my first real encounter with the world of the microbiome. I am hooked since then!
Prof. Spector, as an ex-NHS biomed scientist who majored in microbiology (UCH & HTD St Pancras) I could not resist watching this. When I trained there were ‘normal flora’ (= harmless so ignore) and pathogens (= do something, identify which antibiotics should work). This was a real eye-opener regarding how far microbiological knowledge of ‘normal flora’ has advanced, and how far it still has to go. I was enthralled, thank you.
Women like her truly inspire me! Most importantly she is smart and doing amazing research, but she is also so beautiful �� wow!!
I learned about this microbiology when I learned how to maintain an aquarium clean. theyrr everything that’s keeps world clean, but we’ve been taught to believe to get rid micro organisms.
So any tips on how to repair a gut to make it healthy or increase mircobiome???
Since when is TED a platform for advertising one’s business?
Okay, an entire talk about what is a healthy diet for the human ape, with zero mention of the human endothelium and its relationship to oils and fats. Probably the most important organ in the human body when it comes to diet, the special layer of cells that coats the interior walls of our blood vessels, the gatekeeper of nutrients from blood to tissue, which happens to be injured by many of the foods Tim Spector suggests to be consumed for a healthy diet. So, another talk that repeats the old mantra that is still rife today “Mediterranean diet! Mediterranean diet!”. Oh, gee, thanks.
Teds Talk talk talk.
Doctors like house doctors should more look at this.
They are the first where people come with health problems isn’t it.

AUTISM IS NOT A DISEASE.
Honestly was totally on board until she said that ableist nonsense.
Great presentation. Look forward to further research into this topic. Note: I think Dr. Spector misspoke at 19:00, when he says, “…those who had high fiber diets lost less weight…” Someone earlier commented, “When was this from?”, stating that “this advice is from 15-20 years ago”. Actually, there was “talk” about one’s biome being affected by diet, medications, etc., but there was no way to meaningfully research it,…until the development and refinement of high through-put DNA sequencing. Up until about ten years ago, it would have been nearly impossible and prohibitively expensive to accurately identify (i.e., determine the exact DNA sequences) of the literally thousands of separate species of bacteria and archaea in the gut biome. Only after this technology was developed was it possible to accurately assess and derive causal links between the gut biome, (specific spectra of thousands of species of microbes), and various medical disorders and doing this comparing the biomes of thousands of different people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencing
If he addressed this I apologize in advance as I must have missed it, but how does the manner in which the foods are prepared affect the microbe profile? Are we defeating the purpose of diversifying if we boil or bake the sources?
Amazing video! Making so much sense!
This is the most inspiring video I have seen in long time. Thanks.
Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse implanting bacteria to control obesity? Shouldn’t we change the diet to change the bacteria to affect obesity from a bottom-up, rather than the less effective top-down approach? Yes doubling fiber intake would be a great start.
I see the importance of serotonin in the conversion to melatonin for sleep benefits. What do you suggest i do without a pinal gland? mine was removed during brain surgery.
Anyone??
Same thing, he has created a new religion as he said, micobioma.
Fascinating. How can we find out ourselves which foods give us our specific glucose spikes?
I have been making use of this fat loss program “Yamzοkο Weebly” (Google it) for a couple of days now and until now I adore them! I have the vitality I would like without having suppressing the appetite without making me feel jittery. I haven`t changed anything else I`m doing and have lost 7 lbs..
Time saver: the keys are tryptophan, tyrosine, and indole 3 lactic acid. Also, eat mostly vegetables.
The problem with these researchers who start a company to market their results is that they immediately lose all credibility. Now she has a financial stake in her scientific claims.
You are of course right. But your advice lacks a bit. If you think fish is a good source for omega 3 then there are better ones like avocados. Don’t eat meat there are so many reasons. Eat organic plant based food and you gut will get healthy again. But it’s a long process. If you have eating poor for lots of years it will take maybe 6 months to a year to get a healthy gut.
Looks like Audience has left the building before she even started the presentation. ��
The entire microbiome makes total sense however I think our perspective about is still off.
My gut tells me that the gut is just a reflection of our health which would include everything in our life, from diet, to the food we eat, the way it’s grown, our lifestyle…
We started focusing so much on the bacteria now days, instead of just focusing on what we eat.
It’s obvious that eating deep fried and sugary stuff, transfats mixed with sticky sugars with no nutrients will not give you vitality. And as side effects likely we won’t have any beneficial bacteria be able to live in there. Mix in there hormones and anti biotics. Makes you wonder how we even survive at all….
I think it would make more sense to look into our environment and how everything around us affects our microbiome.
From the way the food is grown, stored, packaged. To our diet, lifestyle…. identify the obvious things and things we wouldn’t think of, that all influence our gut.
she said
“When we loose the diversity cause certain bacteria has taken over, it’s hard to get it back”
That’s exactly why I think bacteria is just a reflection of our healthy/lifestyle. Cause if we keep eating junk we can’t get the diversity of bacteria back. Just means we can’t just ad bacteria and take probiotics and expect to be able to eat junk food and be fine. Cause bacteria isn’t the problem. It’s the food we eat.
Free radicals bad? Hmmm, you might need to re-think that. Nitric oxide for example, is a weak free radical, probably the most important signaling molecule in the body. Vital for virtually every function in the human body. Oh, and maybe might re-think wearing those crazy-high heels. Induces lumbar hyperlordosis, stressing lower lumbar/sacral spine…BTW the primary innervation of the gut…hmmmm…
That being said…AWESOME presentation! Along the lines of Raphael Kellman.
Sigh… It’s a tragedy that plenty of people are not demonstrating control with their lives with plenty of great information like these at their fingertips!
Great info.
To the creator of this video: please use a lapel mic or at the very least a directional “shotgun” mic when recording interviews. Reduces all that echo.
What he doesn’t tell people who go crazy from this information and jump mouth first aboard the express fiber bullet train,
is why they will get immediate gut lockup, microbial overgrowth, and severe bloating & constipation.. lol. All Aboard!!
Is grape juice as good as eating red grapes?

commenting to boost the SEO youtube juice. This certainly needs to be observed more by mankind.
Isn’t it clear that a diet very high in fiber, (and resistant starch) a plant based diet would produce a diverse microbiome? So we should promote that kind of diet.
Very interesting subject. The speaker, unfortunately, falls into the same trap he is warning everyone against. He makes the study of microbiome into a sensational discovery that trumps all dietary research up to this point and presents it as religion. But if you can bear through the stories of how no one had heard of “Kefir” before he wrote a book mentioning it and the condescending tone, it was an informative video.
This video was stuck in my “watch later” playlist for too long! Great talk and certainly seems like a promising field.
Anyone read the book and recommend it??
Good presentation but nothing mentioned on how to test for bacteria gut health…
