- Elaine Hsiao is a postdoctoral fellow in chemistry and biology at Caltech. She received her undergraduate degree in microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics from UCLA and her doctoral degree in neurobiology from Caltech with Professor Paul Patterson. She studied neuroimmune mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders and uncovered a role for the commensal microbiota in regulating autism-related behaviors, metabolism, and intestinal physiology. Elaine has received several honors, including predoctoral fellowships from the National Institute of Health, Autism Speaks and the Caltech Innovation Program. She is currently studying the mechanisms by which microbes modulate host production of neuroactive molecules and aims to better understand how the human microbiota influences health and disease.

This lady is brilliant. I spent 7 years of my life studying bacteroide fragilis.
Food does affect our mental health ,my anxiety was the worst in college when I ate a lot of sweets and snacks and junk food,I had no idea at the time ,why I felt so bad,also some food make people more aggressive ,this is why fasting is done in religion, to ease the spiritual battle and help our spiritual fight against lust ,envy,hatred,anger etc..
Interesting insights
This presentation from 2013 deserves more views!
It is extremely sad that this video which has some of the most important recently discovered about how our brain works only has 20k views!
Obviously everyone needs to know this information: That what lives in your gut affects your brain, directly!! I suffered from an anxiety disorder all my life, it got really bad a few years ago. before seeing this video a year ago I did the candida diet and cured myself of that horrible ailment. Using probiotics and anti-fungal/anti-bacterial foods my gut is much more healthy and my brain works so much better.
Where are you seeing those numbers? I still see only 21,295.
Erick Bair I see 30k. Ya science isn't popular enough. Its a problem that needs to be talked about.
and shared...this is so important in this world today-so many people (especially people on food stamps and low incomes) are buying and eating food they can afford and that fills them up-junk foods-which are affecting their gut bacteria in bad ways...so sad
Erick Bair 149k views and I am sharing if :)
what is a good candida diet
Exellent Elaine. Your speach further reinforces what have experienced/ observed with aquatic animals ( aquaculture) and have been "defending"/promoting for 30 years. In fact I published 2 papers relating the importance of these microbes and that our current civilization quasi-obcessive desire to eliminate microbes is naive, unnatural and counter productive. What we should be doing is promoting the growth of selected beneficial microbes to overcome the detrimental ones. We have to join forces with the billion old evolution and "wisdom" of Nature, not fight against it! I have no doubt that this field will grow immensly and will spread to most areas of our lives and industries.
Hello, where can i find your papers/contact/works. I would like to read up on this topic.
Actually constantly doing behaviors that boosts your normal microbiome is essential for overall good health ( exercise, eating high fiber diet, and taking probiotics regularly)
I have IBS and it totally gets to me, after switching to this healthy lifestyle my guts function amazingly and I feel much better!
This one study is so true. It solve my problem of chronic fatigue and systemic pain. By learning how to balance these microbiomes. I have improved my health and mind plus my energy. And now at 75 i can have a good life after 50 yrs of suffering
I took parasite medicine in october of 2002. The doctor told me "there wont be anything alive in your stomach or digestive tract" after taking it. I had traveled a lot, so I took 2 rounds of them to make sure. this was before we knew about gut health.
at the time, I was in charge of 200 people in a foreign country, speaking the language, traveling, having the success I had always wanted. 2 months after taking the pills I was tossing and turning all night, sweating all over, skin burning like it was on fire at times, got hit with a depression darker than I knew could exist. I couldn't get control of my mind for 6 months, stopped communicating with others and climbed into a cave in my mind that i've stayed in for the most part of 15 years now.
Never knew what happened, I just knew I changed. Disconnected from all friends and family for 15 years, thinking I had some sort of nervous breakdown. Now I realize I started operating at 10% serotonin and have been slowly climbing, but without knowledge of bacteria until recently. I'm thinking this is my road back to health.
what are the best probiotic replacements you have found?
Hi Andrew. Have you tried drinking kefir daily and eating primarily low-glycemic vegetables? Kefir will make you feel great, and the fiber in the veggies will feed the kind of bacteria you want to thrive in your gut.
@@JonathanDLynch I haven't. Just recently read about this kefir stuff, i'll try it out thank you. i appreciate it
Hi Andrew, not sure if this will help but try a 50billion -100billion probiotic daily and check out reviews on various probiotics on Amazon which will tell you which ones actually work for people, especially those with symptoms similar to yours.
That's sad. How are you doing now?
Brilliant. Have seen reports in the media of parents completely adjusting their child's diet, which has affected autism symptoms in positive ways. There's no question that diet is everything.
So fascinated by this field.
+Photosynthesislove Incredible, isn't it?
+Photosynthesislove The microbiome is going to be the key to curing diseases.
+Marco Dellorusso This is extremely true. I have cured myself of a severe anxiety and severe sleep disorder using anti-bacterial foods(though this part is complicated :-P), killing off the harmful organisms and replenishing the beneficial ones.
Erick Bair It's extremely complicated. You're dealing with trillions of bacteria, and everyone's gut is different.
facinated???? fuck you and go eat you own shit
Good bacteria in the gut also produces serotonin and B vitamins, this adds to the explanation between the brain and gut.
no ur wrong
Great video. Logically too. It's exciting to think what medical breakthroughs will follow.
Finally, the word is getting out! Had the honor of meeting Paul Patterson and had a whole hour with him to ask questions about immune issues and Autism. He brought to my attention a great meeting in September 2012 about Autoimmune Issues/CNS and got to see him for a bit while there. We need to get this out of the clinic soon as the Autism rates are not getting any lower.
Excellent talk, such an amazing field of research.
yeah lets all eat our own fucking shit to cure depression fuck you all hwo think this is intellegent fuck you seriously
I've been wondering if the duality of our mind has something to do with our inner ecosystem? Who's really is in control?
good question
Like the parasite T. gondii, and how it affects rats, I believe it's possible for our own parasites to control our brains, therefore our actions and what we consume, to keep themselves alive. Seems crazy...but then, so does T.gondii - and it's been proven to exist.
"GUT OVER MIND OVER MATTER"-Me
Right! I was thinking, "hmm is this why we're always talking about ourselves using the royal "we"?"
We are prisoners to the iota in our gut.
This makes me even more of a hypochondriac than I was before.
She failed to mention to EAT YOUR SALADS!!!!! And don't use artificial ANYTHING in your food. This is includes industrially derived oils like so-called canola oil. Stick with olive oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, etc., oils that you might find in a less industrialized society.
Thank You for your studies and passing on through ted
A bit out of date now as we know that it is about a 1:1 ratio of human cells to bacteria cells ... this field changes with the technology. Never the less, the gut bacteria is now being studies as an "Organ" and many consider is as important as the liver.
70 Going On 100
1.3 : 1 ratio actually
Hey , i'm STILL having trouble getting through to some people about the HORRORS of big Pharma ANTIBIOTICS and the DAMAGE it does to the GUT FLORA .
I work with people with Autism. They ALL are on high sugar high carb diets, not what we choose but what their families have given them. Some will only drink Coke. Nearly all have stomach issues, I've never met an Autistic child that has a healthy whole food diet.
This is true, we got my son who has autism off all that nasty stuff, he eats whole food and we are doing many things like sprouted grains, nuts, legeumes, raw milk, yogurt made from the raw milk, black elderberry juice, fish oil, cod liver oil. Of course going from his old diet to new made huge changes in his life, he sleeps all night now, for the most parts, still has issues sometimes. But before he would only sleep 3-4 hours a night from the ages of 1-7.
You have not met me then, or many others on the autistic spectrum, for whom a healthy diet, low carbs, no milk, no artifical, no red meat, no processed etc, marginal imporvement.
This is certainly eye-opening! 😮
@@mikelincoln8395 low carbs? carbohydrates are primary source of energy for human body. Try including whole legumes and grains with fiber. Fiber also acts as food for gut microbes. I'm no doctor but a suggestion.
Yesterday I was really hungry and was aware my stomach was doing a lot of my thinking .. it was more of a revelation than just a passing thought . This speaker is giving me that revelation even more and I should test to quickly explain why .
I have always had anxiety and it’s always affected my eating in a big way . I had very bad stomach aches specially from the age of about 5 to 15 Then I started to get super bad heartburn at 15 until this very day . I could manage with tums as long as I always had some I was ok ! Then I was almost killed at work and crushed my insides rupturing organs shattering pelvis and slicing my femoral artery and the had to cut fairly big portion of my bowel out ... .... I have developed chronic migraines believe a lot of the reason I do get them is from my horrible working guts . I am almost 50 now and have had enough time with it to feel this lady is correct and I appreciate the knowledge . It’s a great help thanks 🥳
Wow. You had it rough :(
I hope better times are ahead for you.
I personally find this fascinating because I have Asperger's Syndrome. For me, straight milk gives me trouble. I'm not lactose intolerant, because I don't have trouble in my gut. The issue is that it causes a lot of 'static' in my head. I can't concentrate and I become much more sensitive to things. When I switched to lactose-free milk, my symptoms cleared up.
I had already heard elsewhere that microbes in the gut could get one of the causes of autistic symptoms. So hearing that it really is possible to remove the worst of it and allow people like me to function on a higher level is promising.
I can already pass as a person with full capabilities, but people tend to forget that I don't function quite as good as they might need me to. I hope that more is discovered in the near future for myself and many others who can benefit.
Have you tried raw milk?
Alex Kozlowski I haven't, but I could try and look around for some. If not, I might try goat milk and see what happens.
ToyHaunter yeah raw goat's milk is usually best. The problem with cow dairy is its processed and comes from unhealthy cows, and also some people are just sensitive to it no matter how good the quality is. I get brain fog from dairy, even grass-fed.
ToyHaunter You can also just drink coconut milk or other nut milks like almond, hemp seed, and cashew. Making your own is best. These are SUPER healthy and con't cause brain fog.
Al Honey Never smoked it myself, but I have been around people who smoke. I seem to handle it like they did. It just sort of mellowed me out. Normally I can get pretty excitable (and loud) but my friend was pretty surprised by how quiet I got.
Thanks for sharing! Gut health is so important for brain health! Indicators of a healthy gut include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the Bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!
Top a palestra e top a palestrante...
Compliments to the chef!

THANK you! Side note: DOWN with antibacterial hand gel!
She is so smart and cute. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Thank you
Incredible stuff.
wow, amazing view!
I love this, Elaine is awesome :-)
Microbiome is such a vast and exciting subject!
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know a fun digestive fact: what you eat can change your gut microbiome in just 2 days!!
If you're interested in this video, you may also be interested to know that when the gut microbiome is out of balance, it typically has 2 characteristics: low production of butyrate-producing bacteria, and overgrowth of bad bacteria! The more you know!
I cut my carbs and lost my depression. It is true
Hows it working in the long term?
whole carbohydrates like quinoa, sweet potato, pumpkin, buckwheat, brown rice, oats etc are very healthy and beneficial to the gut biome, I'm assuming you mean you cut out sugars and processed grains?
Oh my I'm glad someone is getting better over depression good news know I have fate
@@koshowulf i still eat some sugar everyday , brown sugar in my hot cup of tea .
i have tried everything and nothing satisfies ; i can't stomach Stevia and regretfully monk fruit , if you read what's really in it is usually not pure monk fruit ... they always add something else that is actually not considered a 100% natural .
i can deal with honey in it but not in my first two cups of tea earlier in the day to me it just doesn't taste right .
Its amazing how these commensal microbes weight 2-6 pounds which is the average weight of a human brain. I had no idea that microbes can contribute or affect our brain health and diseases. Vagus nerve extends all the way up the brain stem and this is how bacteria effects depressive behavior.
You can get "mesophilic" yogurt online. This is yogurt that you put a little in milk then it turns to yogurt the next day, then put some of that in more milk and get more yogurt. You can also freeze the yogurt in case you leave the yogurt to ferment to long. Probiotics for cheap! Yogurt is much more filling than the milk that it comes from while having fewer calories, and being able to absorb more of the nutrients because of lactic acid.
Very good is sufficient
Wow, great information 😃

How do mind-altering microbes fit into Determinism vs Free will?
Interesting info, thank you.
Awesome stuff! can't wait for more progress in this field.
If you enjoyed this video, you may also want to know that gut health is so important to help curb inflammation! Some common mistakes to be careful of when trying to fix your gut health include: adding a probiotic to help with excessive gas and bloating (that's just one piece of the puzzle), eliminating a food for 4 days and expecting it solve the issue (will take at least 2 weeks), and not thinking about root causes!
Great talk. On a side note: At 0:57 there is an estimate of the ratio for microbial to human cells. Newer estimates for the average man are at 1.3:1 with some wide latitude for uncertainty because of the inherent difficulty in measuring a system as complex as this. I am pretty sure this fact does not take away any of the inductive points in this video.

could you provide a link to that study??
Great presentation and fascinating topic!
Absolutely amazing!!

I would love to see a study that looks at consciousness as it is related to the gut microbiome. I wonder if we are a hive mind?
Wow, that is indeed a wonderful line of thought that needs to be explored!
YT algorithm brought this up in February 2022; probably because of current interest in the gut microbiome research under Prof. Tim Spector and Zoe. Avoid highly processed foods, eat a wide diversity (rainbow) of plant-based foods (aim for 30 types per week; that includes seeds, nuts, herbs & spices) and include fermented vegetables, live yogurt, kefir and kimchee if you can.
this is why I take Plexus. Just after two months I am no longer taking anxiety meds and my thinking is much sharper. feeding the good stuff and getting rid of the bad. #healthymicrobiome
Jerrod Dumond do u recommend
Me too!!!
I know they have some studies regarding Helicobacter pylori, possibly with that in mind. Browsing through the Sarkis Mazmanian Lab website may help
Got that idea from rich roll and jre podcast btw
Love the presentation! But I don't like how she refers to the microbiome as 'bugs', why would she do that? Other than that it was very cool!
Dude you can ferment yogurt at room temperature to make it from milk easier than making popcorn in the microwave in the number of steps, and the same is true of fermenting beans aka Natto although it takes three times as long. Fermenting canned fruit and raisins is also really easy. Buy the cultures at eBay or amazon or wherever.
its been 5 years since this talk. is there a place where people can go and pick out these specific bugs?
Would have been better if she elaborated on how autism like symptoms are determined in mice instead of just saying "this is seen in the lower red bar" and not even commenting on what each y-axis is
agree
Jennifer Shieh she only has so much time
This is Completely in line with what parents are doing for their autistic kids teating their bowels with MMS also known as chlorine dioxide. The kids do an ATEC test to measure autistic traits. Kids score 90% less after doing strict enema routines.
Parents putting their neurodiverse kids through horribly invasive treatments which is basically putting bleach into their colon to try to fix them... wow, please never have kids. How traumatised into masking their symptoms are these kids afterwards?
Ive seen people flip out and go mad, about one or two days before flue symptoms come out
iv tryed colloidal silver>>> salt baths everything nothing seems to budge them and theyv got so big that they cant get back into my head
She activates my Vegas Nerve. Badd.
Really good info,. just wonderfing though,. why were the mice depressed??
Probably they heard about what was going to happen to their vagus nerve.
Maybe they isolate them one-by-one and it naturally gets to them.
If we could find a way to improve health through microbial treatment, which we can and we do, you can bet that the pharma companies and AMA would be all over it to stop it because it wouldn't be profitable for them.
Might biochar assist this mechanismo??
Febrility and autism: When autistic people have influenza, the change in empathy is astounding!

I wonder if neurologists take this fact into consideration when dealing with mental disorders and their causes!!
Viva las Vagus!
When can I get the 'happy' microbial gut transplant?
I'm in love with this girl.

Probably too simplistic, but would this support an argument against antibacterial hand gel? That stuff is the worst, for obvious reasons, but who knows? Maybe even worse than I already believed...
yes it is bad according to many papers and videos.
Yes. I avoid anti bacterial soap. It won't change your life but does have an effect. Like avoiding plastics.
Do you plan on drinking the antibacterial soap? If so you have other problems you should be concerned about.
I should have watched it 7 years ago
I have recently started having problems with yeast in my gut and even mycillium in my BM. Around the same time I started getting extream anxiety and even flight fight responces at mealtimes. I would never have believed this before it happened to me. Now I am trying to rid myself of this condition but it keeps coming back. I get a sore stomach in my lower digestive tract especialy. It seems like the yeast are spoiling my meals so they can eat? How do I get my microbiom back under controll without starving myself? There are so many quacks out there I need a educated opinion :-) can anyone help?
+billy pchajek Get some decent probiotics, some antifungals (consume an hour apart), avoid sweet foods and don't overeat, or eat less than 2-3hrs before sleeping. Look into Candida, and POSSIBLE heavy metal poisoning, if the steps mentioned fail.
I have it partially under control. My only remaining symptom is nausea when I don't eat or if I exercise. The antifungals really help especially coconut oil. But it still dominates my colon. I am considering a boraax enema as everything I have done to get rid of it seems to only push it back to the upper colon. I know that there is some absorbtion through the colon walls so I will mace it weak. I am also considering doing a plain yougurt enems to try to get a better microbial population.
Go easy with the borax. And try more potent forms of coconut-based antifungals, like MCT oil or Carylic Acid (much the same thing but less economical). Grapefruit seed extract is also widely effective.
Do you use probiotics? They might be a better option than yogurt? Also, have you looked into food intolerances. Testing is not very reliable. A rotation/exclusion diet is the way to go, with or without test results. Pain in ass but useful.
Good luck!

Do dental X rays kill the mouth microbiota?
Hello, I have a question for you on how this might affect mental health? My son killed himself so I am wondering would microbes have an effect on what people might do?
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert but there is absolutely a connection between diet and mental health problems. There is more (a LOT more) serotonin in the gut than there is in the brain and not eating the right diet can actually lead to depression. I'm not going to say this was the case with your son, as I have no idea what caused his depression but there is absolutely a link between poor diet and poor mental health. I'm so sorry about your son, btw. What an awful thing for you to have to live with. :(
Ty Lucy, Due to his problems we were totally not close so what he did had more of an effect on his kids as opposed to me. It's sad they have no daddy at this time. As for me and my wife, (not his mom) we have taken well to better nutrition and are totally into "nutrigenomics" IE, Protandim by LifeVantage. Wow, what a fantastic science! We are the end users of these products and will swear by these products. The CoreHealth and the Lifevantage, both!

Science is so awesome By the way I was diagnosed with secondary progressive MS way back in 1993 and through these products have been able to reverse it. Um, book done........
Wauw this is why ascetic and spiritual people that train the mind, are fasting! That is why fasting works so good and is spot on! Cleaning out all these little demons that consume us whole. Deciding for us and the more we feed them the more out of control we get! So fasting and raw food diet is the solution! And breathing (oxygen heals to!)
& What would be the effect of eating food with Residual GLYPHOSATE which is in most all food&Drink which has been sprayed by Farmers as an Herbicide to kill weeds BUT it is an antibiotic damaging or killing Gut Bacteria
thank you i guess I shouldn't be surprised that no one has so much as given this statement a thumbs up but I think me and you can guess what the effects has been
@@carolmaplesden916 Sadly the gravity of America’s ongoing situation of having Glyphosate residue in our food&drink continually yet, Not realizing the slow insidious effect on our gut Microbiome. A majority of people hear, but don’t grasp the effect on their overall health & longevity.

how do you measure a mouse for autism?
They don't like eye contact. Like routines etc.
I think my microbes like her lol. All jokes aside, there is so much more microbes can do. Great talk.
How did they figure out some of this stuff?
It goes back to the start of the 20th century when the Russian scientist (forgotten his name) noticed people in certain regions of Eastern Europe were living much longer than others. It was then discovered that drinking of fermented milk was common place and so, a link was made. It's fascinating. Research the benefits of fermented milk.
LucyStewart1981 oh neat
guy who might have aspergers needs life advice buy kefir grains (eBay) and make your own kefir/fermented milk. Much better than shop bought and many more good gut bacterias.
How do you know a mouse is depressed?
can someone plz answers me how do we make a autistic mice?
Hahahah
so they know how to make an autistic mice but don't know how to cure?!!
"So they know how to make an autistic mice"
Sort of.
"but don't know how to cure"
Correct. Unfortunately, humans don't just get autism by chugging valproic acid, and even if they did, the body doesn't have an "undo" hotkey.
The mouse model allows researchers to explore the effects of autism. Unfortunately, any success in treating these mice may not be applicable outside of the model.
It means that stomach diarrhea can cause and produce anxiety and depression in your brain

"GUT OVER MIND OVER MATTER"-Me
Is there links between the types of microbes in your gut and the type of diet you eat? I.e eating mcdonalds create a ecosystem of microbes that effect the brain to be depressed or lethargic
While I appreciate the knowledge, research is brutal to the poor subjects. I hate that.
Her intro is very similar to the other guy - did he plagiarize her?

human brains have become smaller since agriculture. Neanderthal brains on average were 25% larger. Is the reality we create because of the little critters we consume and grow in us? Maybe eating grasses produces a violent behavior- or a Machiavellian behavior. Wouldn't that be a funny realization. Then you would have groups trying to rid this food source and others who prefer it, trying to deliver s much as possible. Fill the stomach but not the mind.
