Full of toxins and all kinds of crap in our processed food and water. Interesting don't you think? We need more studies on this
Totally! Looking into these things could be soooo beneficial! For example, maybe an abundance of toxin A builds up in the region of the brain responsible for mood regulation (i.e.- anger) so the people who ingest toxin A are more prone to criminality. So instead of dosing them with meds or labeling them with a mental illness, they could just stop ingesting foods containing that toxin. Eventually their brains would re-regulate. ^ yea? ❤

This explains why I felt so weird after coming off of antibiotics after I got an infection 😭 Mood swings, felt awful, critical thinking was shot, and just lethargic for weeks after recovery.
That’s interesting I have just had a course of antibiotics and I have had the opposite reaction not feeling depressed memory had improved energy levels up, but I ate some red meat and my gut just about exploded this Ted talk and your comment have really got me thinking.
I dont know if doctors in Denmark have changed this practice yet. But it isn't more than a few years ago, that it was common practice to prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics, when they can't determine the nature of your inflammation/Infection. And without telling you to reintroduce good healthy gut bacteria afterwards the treatment. Those broad-spectrum antibiotics just about kills all the bacteria in your gut. Of course if people had a healthy varied diet, it shouldn't be just as necessary to buy probiotic foods. But anyways people should at least be informed about it.

I discovered this idea 3 years ago through the GAPS diet. I still follow most of its principles but have switched to more vegetables than meat. It has helped my autoimmune disease, eradicated all seasonal allergies and helped temper my mood swings without a single medication. I am so glad this is being discussed in the mainstream now. It really does not take long to make fermented vegetables, sourdough bread, meals from scratch if you plan ahead. Couple that with rarely eating out and altering your skin and beauty products, you will be on the road to health. Food IS medicine. One caveat: this is an expensive way to live but would you rather pay as you go and enjoy the benefits or pay the medical field to experiment on you and languish in a hospital?-- to put it crudely.
I just finished an antibiotic treatment for hpylori and I never felt so much better! I’ve had brain fog, constant headaches, bloating and GI issues. This caused me anxiety and depression for years!
A naturopath can run a G.I. map which will test for about fifty possible issues in the gut at once. That’s how I finally found I had an h pylori infection. Completely cured all insomnia after antibiotics.
following the topic for years, i wonder when it finally will become a therapeutic option specially for psychological deseases. Hope i will live long enough. Thank you to the scientists for this awesome work!
A great talk. I make my own fermented vegetables (with over 60 varieties) and eat about 2 small cups a day in 2 sittings. I have not had or needed antibiotics in 4 years. My approach to eating is to feed the gut. I make sure every meal has something for my gut microbes. I do not remember being healthier in my life. I can confirm the impact on personality. I realise now that I used to be grumpy without knowing why. Now I seldom get upset and marvel at how relaxed I am compared to my old reactions. My next stage is to pay more attention to my microbiome signals.
Any recommendations for someone who'd like to start giving this a try? My mood hasn't been the same since I moved states, and I've been groggy, depressed, moody ever since. I know it's directly correlated with my food, but doctors are absolutely no help at all.
@@lazydoctorr Sorry to hear about your mood challenges. Suggest you start by believing in a solution from nature that includes doctors and current knowledge, but is not limited to them. Then look for a video on UA-cam on fermenting vegetables. Select your vegetables then start fermenting. Start small and see how you feel, then extend it gradually making sure you feel better each time. The benefits start immediately, but it may take a few days to notice them.
I had severe depression but I went to a Chinese doctor. She traced it to bad gut bacteria by asking a few questions about my diet. I took antibiotics to kill bad gut bacteria and have never, ever had depression again.
@@tonyosime9380 When I went to see the doctor, I had already traced five foods that were causing severe depression. Eggs also gave me severe asthma attacks that I never experienced before. I knew there was a gut problem but not bad bacteria. She was the one that knew that bad gut bacteria was behind all the symptoms.
when i get thru a week or so on a ketogenic diet, i feel like a different person (which changes the microbiome) i become more calm, upbeat, less irritable, more clear-headed. removing sugars, wheat, rice and potato (or any carbohydrates) seems to shift my mood in a positive direction.
It’s a shame she didn’t talk about what we can do to improve our gut health as it is certainly in our own hands via nutrition! That’s available right now.
TED speakers have a limited amount of time to talk. You can Google her to find more of her work where I would imagine she goes into more detail and solutions. There's also an hour-long video from her... I'm sure there's more videos.
The s should be after "talk" like this, "ted talks improve my english." ;) unless you mean this one specifically, in which case it would be, "This ted talk improves my english." Good luck!
Thank you Kathleen and others for all your work on this. This makes me wonder if one time we get food poisoning, if it could lead to that domino effect? The general public needs more information about all this and what if anything we can practically do to try to prevent severe outcomes.
You can stimulate your Vargas Nerve yourself at any time by closing your ears with your fingers, deeply inhale, and vocally hum “Ommmmmmmmm” going up and down in high and low pitch, experimenting and feeling the sound going up & down your Chakra energy system and Vargas Nerve until you run out of breath, even making vocal noises like Tibetan Monks do in your throat using your tongue, using your own tonal sounds. This has been done for thousands of years. Try it in sessions of 3-5 minutes at a time and see how your body, mind and spirit feel afterwards. Be your own scientist and healer. I appreciate this video, the scientific study, the sacrifices of mice for our learning, and scientists while adding there are additional approaches involving consciousness that conventional science can leave out of the puzzle. We’re not victims to genetics and outside forces unless we believe we are. We must go deeper and excavate to see what’s true for each of us based on belief. Thank you.
"Bubble" mice are an interesting concept. Could some of today's kids be nearly "bubble" kids as regards naturally bacterias? Have limited diets and ultra-sanitized environments caused mental illnesses in young kids? Is lack of contact with soil something we should look into, to make sure kids literally "touch grass"? Lot of interesting extensions off of this topic.
A study from Switzerland conducted several years ago revealed a link between the lack of exposure to various microbes during childhood and an increased risk of developing different illnesses. In other words, children in Western societies live in excessively clean environments. I've also noticed that children today are more prone to allergies and other illnesses compared to those from a few decades ago.
literally touching grass more would be the worst way to fix possible problems caused by lack of biodiversity. you dont know whats in the soil. it may do nothing for the problems you're experiencing or end up giving you more problems. our best way forward is to learn exactly what bacterias do what and then isolate them to make therapies specific to the problems people are having. you shouldnt carpet bomb your immune system more to possibly aquire a benifical bacteria.
@@paulatreides6779 yeah that's probably because most of the kids with serious food allergies just died young. the increase in people with issues is because the threshold for survival got easier. moving backwards isnt going to fix these issues. it'd likely just lead to more kids dying.
I've heard there are ways to naturally stimulate the 'Vegas nerve' without the need for external devices... I'm not saying the device route's bad/wrong, just that there are alternatives that are easy to do at home (including humming, breathing deeply, & other simple, relaxing techniques)
Plants too have their root microbiomes and the resilience of plants to climate change can be fortified by inoculating beneficial microbes to root microbiomes.
To enhance your gut microbes simply apply the proper diet. No carbs, zero sugar and absolutely no plants. Yes, NO plants. Plants (most) contain oxalates, these oxalates are not meant for human consumption. Look into the carnivore diet. Dr. Ken Berry or Dr. Anthony Chaffee. The carnivore diet completely changed my life. I highly recommend looking into it.
@@charleyarchuleta4932I take probiotics that contain (lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus rhammnosus, bifidobacterium longum, bifidobacterium breve, bifidobacterium bifidum and lactobacillus lactose in one capsule per day within my diet). These fellas have been great with my body and since I have autism, eczema and Allergies, they have been essential for me.
@@charleyarchuleta4932 there is no point in taking probiotics because the very thing causing a microbiome problem that you drink the biotics to fix is causing the probiotics to never reach that spot in the first place
OK, so this is fascinating - but presenting this information without any insights on how to improve "good" gut bacteria is frustrating. Should we all be taking probiotics?
@@pattibase2293 when have throughout human history did we regularly take probiotics? Probiotics are pointless if you need them that means you have a problem thats preventing microbes in general and probiotics from reaching the desired place. Poor dieting causes this stuff and a healthy diet/lifestyle fixes it
@@starc. Your first dose of microbes is when you’re born (naturally) and through breast feeding. Fermented food has been around for thousands of years and was used to store food and it’s a great source of microbes. A lot of foods in the grocery store though have been irradiated to control food borne illness, unfortunately it kills all the good microbes too. I agree that a healthy diet is great but the added boost from fermented food is backed up by quite a bit of recent research. You can find it with a quick Google search.
Gave my wife shirota bacteria and reuteri because she was in really bad shape. Changed mood and physical activity very quickly. About 3 days after years of suffering.
I believe it has been widely recognized for quite some time that the bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract can influence our brain and emotions by modulating hormones.
This is probably the most interesting Ted talk I've come across. I'm obsessed with her fluency. I understand everything she's saying. And I'm actually directly dealing with this on my own. I was wondering why my fridge is filling with greek yogurt. And even studying the lesser known Vegas nerve.
wow, this helps open the box to my own symptoms since I've had H=pylori. I've really slowed down mentally and emotionally. I'm also dizzy all the time.
I'm glad this is finally getting attention. I've known this instinctively since I was a kid. I never took antibiotics without a real need (i.e. death) and did my best to avoid toxic foods. Look at the rates of C-sections that deprive the newborn of the initial inoculation from the vaginal canal. Consider the volume of herbicides and pesticides dumped onto our farmland to kill life; the same life found in our gut. Look into the drastic changes in kids who receive unprocessed, real food for the fist time. Sterile food full of preservatives does nothing for you. If it wont go bad on the shelf, it will not feed your micro biome. Think of how much money the pharmaceutical companies have been making selling the poison they put on your food, selling farmers the seed that the poison is applied to, then selling you a pill to "fix" all the problems it has caused. Eat real food, not processed poison.
It all goes back to Monsantos anti bacterial weed killer and the various effects or ag practices like using animal waste then it all gets in the river and bacteria with resistance thrive
You only mentioned drug Solutions I really expected you To talk about how our food choices Could also Reverse Disease issues Like Ultra refined Foods especially carbohydrates
I developed gastritis and depression right after losing my parents, I wish I had known about the stomach and brain connection, I wouldn’t have suffered the way I did. Whenever my stomach doesn’t feel right, I become sad, once my stomach feels better, I’m happy again. Everyone should know this.
Wow 😳🤩! Kathleen McAuliffe`s lecture is an eye-opening experience for me and, perhaps, points the way to the right direction! I truly hope that the outcome of further/ future studies and researches will at long last the game changer so many affected people and all scientists around the world hope for, as solving the mysteries in links between all bacteria, microbes etc., living in the human body, may hopefully lead to a world at peace! Best of luck and success!
The more I hear about the gut, the more I think we need to change how we eat. All this processed food is killing us. Big Food and the usual combination of greed and money and power.
How about synthetic parasites? The thing so few people are taking notice of in lab studies, is the development of synthetic parasites to alter animals minds as these studies are being done in collaboration with militaries as this will be used to alter human minds for warfare and psychological geopolitical warfare techniques and that will lead to significant issues for human species around the world
This is a really fascinating topic as it seems very un-intuitive to me. I wish there were links to some accessible review articles covering each of the mentioned findings. When I search for such things on my own I seem to find either vague popularizations written by people who don't seem to understand the topic, or extremely specific, primary research articles with a minute focus, that speak in dense jargon and lack a big-picture view of the larger topic.
Come on! What a huge missed opportunity to talk abou the SOLUTION to the problem: Food! How can we control our gut bacteria? How to have good microbiome and not bad? Its obviously the food we eat. Maybe it's not just food, but its mostly food.. we're talking about intestines and feces, it's 90% food there. We already know this for years. Cut out processed food and animal food = cut out bad bacteria. Increase plant-based, natural food intake = increase good bacteria. It's that simple. And it should have been said in this video.
My own story goes: I worked for a paleo restaurant for a few years and also dated a guy who was gluten free at the same time so I just naturally stopped consuming gluten and I had already stopped eating dairy bc I figured out I was (still) allergic to it. Once I stopped dating the gluten free guy I started dating a guy who had no restrictions so I started eating gluten again bc I thought it was fine for me but it absolutely was not. Not only did/do I get TERRIBLE gastro issues if I get even so much as a crumb of gluten (these days) but I also figured out that it literally gives me "mood swings" or at least makes me MUCH quicker to rage and at veritably anything. I felt like I wasn't myself so I stopped eating it and never went back!
What we eat or ingest matters far more than initially understood. Food is either medicine or a slow poison. Clean water and air also have a massive impact. We have the biggest impact on what we eat. It's one of the few things we have FULL control over. Choose wisely. Moderation in everything.
I've suffered from chronic I.B.S., anxiety and depression ever since I came home from over seas "Iraq".... This really makes me want to get someone healthier and transfer thier gut bacteria to mine....
Had i gone toward an MD/PHD 10 years ago - this is exactly what i had said i would study. I was interested by the idea that bacteria cause mice to seek out cats.. and came to the hypothesis we may have similar reactions.
Could certain microbes present in dogs cause behavioural changes in humans once they enter the human’s digestive tract? This would support my theory and explain why dog fanatics engage in high-risk/self destructive behaviours, such as venerating and glorifying the ownership of an unpredictable, remorseless, bloodthirsty predator (dog) which is responsible for over 28,000 reconstructive surgeries every year in the USA alone and 30-50 deaths per year in the USA alone, transmission of zoonotic diseases, destruction of property, creation of noise pollution, violence between neighbours, ruining of relationships, pollution of our water, etc. Someone please research this! The behaviour of dog worshippers is exactly like the irrational, self-destructive behaviour you see in animals infected with mind-controlling parasites.
Look up a recent review article in Frontiers in Nutrition titled "Berberine influences multiple diseases by modifying gut microbiota", incredibly interesting read, and berberine hydrochloride is reasonably inexpensive.
@@Yuusou.All of this neatly sidesteps a truth that many find hard to swallow (pun intended) - that your diet affects all sorts of things. Ask yourself: how did you get the gut microbiome you have? Taking the metaphor of the two wolves, you need to starve the gut flora you don't want, while feeding the ones you do. And pretty much all science puts that diet squarely as being also good for you apart from how it affects your gut microbiome (ie, whole food plant based).
Carnivore doctors have the answer to gut bacteria problems: stop eating carbs and fibre, eat fatty meat, fish, eggs and butter, and you will be as healthy as can be - for some the optimum way to good gut health which leads to overall health is only beef or lamb, salt and water.
The person you call "I" is in truth "we". --- this is true in many levels and adds to human understanding of being part of the bigger picture in the planet.
Our mind is just a pattern storage and recognition organ. It compares input patterns (sensory perception) to stored patterns (memory) and calculates likely outcome patterns (thought). This is the you that you think you are. The gut feeling (emotion) is just an older internal operating system closer to the one used by your organs. Think of your organs as separate organisms, they like and dislike things just like you. They actually have authoritative control (emotional irrational behaviour, fight or flight) Your mind was developed to protect and provide for the body of organisms (organs and their inhabitants) you are their interface with the outside world. you are their ruler but they can be unruly if you mistreat them.
Is the malfunction of these bacteria caused by eating food covered with pesticide and herbicides? It will be a long time before the regulators allow this to be found out I think, but there weren't so many people with "divergent neurological" conditions years ago when all food was organic
serious question here , Given the gut affecting our character, and personality , IS there a relationship between the plastic and chemicals we subject ourselves to in a door polluted diet ?
Who knows what we'll discover about our bodies in the future! There's still so much we have to learn. Who knows, maybe my thoughts are the bacteria thoughts!
Reminds me of the research by the University of Aachen on how trees 'talk' to each other. Think this lead to the cutting down of a large area of woodland to make way for the building of a wind farm, because they overheard the trees were climate change deniers.
I believe the gut has a huge impact on mental health. I watched a close friend have bariatric surgery and turn into someone I did NOT want in my life. She became a garbage person and treated her friends and family like garbage after her surgery. It was appalling to watch someone who I thought was a good human being turn into a loser, but also an extremely easy break-up because--even though she blamed me for her behavior, there is no way I was at fault. Disclaimer: I know that there were other factors that contributed to her change in behavior. But I definitely believe that the drastic change to her gut was a contributing factor. Now she has no friends, no job, no prospects, no future--she is 40 and lives on her mom's couch now. That was her choice; I hope she's happy.
I suffer from severe depression, adhd, and ptsd. I also suffer from dudden bouts of nausea cured by sneezing (involuntarily). Can I get a fecal transplant? I don't want an implant, but I think my vagus nerve is the issue. 😢
Paleobacteria is of interest to me in Addiction disorders and Alcoholism. Nutrition based recovery from these diseases is possible and practical. The microbiome do for us what we can not do for ourselves. On a not so different topic, it is my belief that cancer and heart disease and depression and diabetes and obesity (to name but a few) are in-fact contagious.
amazing what people would do for limelight? next we will have claim of the weather, air particles, temperature and humidity becoming you logic. amazing but half baked truth.
Yeah we need more research on all this. Like if you ingest a particular food or substance, does it leave you with a particular type of bacteria in your gut either temporary or long term? Or on the other hand, does that food or substance reduce or eliminate a particular bacteria in the gut? Seems there is going to need to be much more research into this and probably going to be some time. But as you mentioned perhaps start with the mind altering substances, alcohol, mushrooms, etc.

One caveat: this is an expensive way to live but would you rather pay as you go and enjoy the benefits or pay the medical field to experiment on you and languish in a hospital?-- to put it crudely.
I just finished an antibiotic treatment for hpylori and I never felt so much better! I’ve had brain fog, constant headaches, bloating and GI issues. This caused me anxiety and depression for years!
how do you get that
Yes Helicobacter Pylori, I was treated 20 yrs ago and feel great. I also now consume yogurt and a variety of fermented foods, never felt better.
Please enlighten us too. My body is a mess and I recently became disabled due to it. Could really use a gut overhaul
A naturopath can run a G.I. map which will test for about fifty possible issues in the gut at once. That’s how I finally found I had an h pylori infection. Completely cured all insomnia after antibiotics.
Well antibiotics can do harm aswell🥲...so it's a complicated matter
following the topic for years, i wonder when it finally will become a therapeutic option specially for psychological deseases. Hope i will live long enough. Thank you to the scientists for this awesome work!
and me i had 30% kidney failure went and sorted diet out fine now see what happens the next 10 years they had me down for RA etc etc
Many biological psycho therapist are now prescribing different types food/diets for MI
When conventional Med schools start teaching nutrition as the foundation of health, we will see a change.
I am NOT optimistic!
í guess it depends on the country. if you are talking about the US, you might be right @@jld4870
Check out Living well with Schizophrenia. She is in youtube and has changed her mental health with the keto diet.
"In the symphony of microbes within, our 'I' emerges as the harmonious dance of 'We,' orchestrating the unique melody of our shared existence."
A great talk. I make my own fermented vegetables (with over 60 varieties) and eat about 2 small cups a day in 2 sittings. I have not had or needed antibiotics in 4 years. My approach to eating is to feed the gut. I make sure every meal has something for my gut microbes. I do not remember being healthier in my life. I can confirm the impact on personality. I realise now that I used to be grumpy without knowing why. Now I seldom get upset and marvel at how relaxed I am compared to my old reactions. My next stage is to pay more attention to my microbiome signals.
Any recommendations for someone who'd like to start giving this a try? My mood hasn't been the same since I moved states, and I've been groggy, depressed, moody ever since. I know it's directly correlated with my food, but doctors are absolutely no help at all.
@@lazydoctorr Sorry to hear about your mood challenges. Suggest you start by believing in a solution from nature that includes doctors and current knowledge, but is not limited to them. Then look for a video on UA-cam on fermenting vegetables. Select your vegetables then start fermenting. Start small and see how you feel, then extend it gradually making sure you feel better each time. The benefits start immediately, but it may take a few days to notice them.
Can you share more on 60 varieties of fermented? Names?
I had severe depression but I went to a Chinese doctor. She traced it to bad gut bacteria by asking a few questions about my diet. I took antibiotics to kill bad gut bacteria and have never, ever had depression again.
A great outcome, thanks for sharing. I wonder if there was also a placebo effect involved.
@@tonyosime9380 When I went to see the doctor, I had already traced five foods that were causing severe depression. Eggs also gave me severe asthma attacks that I never experienced before. I knew there was a gut problem but not bad bacteria. She was the one that knew that bad gut bacteria was behind all the symptoms.
Which antibiotic if you don’t mind?
Can you kindly share of the antibiotics?
@@Jubileeluna one was doxycycline.
when i get thru a week or so on a ketogenic diet, i feel like a different person (which changes the microbiome) i become more calm, upbeat, less irritable, more clear-headed. removing sugars, wheat, rice and potato (or any carbohydrates) seems to shift my mood in a positive direction.
Me too, I thought it was on my head 😮I actually feel 100% better once I'm in keto
Wait until you try carnivore. It feels like keto on steroids.
It’s a shame she didn’t talk about what we can do to improve our gut health as it is certainly in our own hands via nutrition! That’s available right now.
She did a little. Yogurt
Eat a farm fresh organic balanced diet, drink raw milk, and consume turkey tail mushrooms
@@joekrige2673 cooking with beef tallow over seed oils
TED speakers have a limited amount of time to talk. You can Google her to find more of her work where I would imagine she goes into more detail and solutions. There's also an hour-long video from her... I'm sure there's more videos.
Carnivore is the answer to gut problems
I am shocked. Thanks a lot for this TED. It was very exciting.
Directly related to the food we eat and how that food is grown. Period.❤
Ted Talk improves my English level.
Thank you for providing interesting videos:)
For me, this video only showed how low my level is
The s should be after "talk" like this, "ted talks improve my english." ;) unless you mean this one specifically, in which case it would be, "This ted talk improves my english." Good luck!
was probably a bot learning but love your enthusiasm to teach. @@huy2496
Thank you Kathleen and others for all your work on this. This makes me wonder if one time we get food poisoning, if it could lead to that domino effect? The general public needs more information about all this and what if anything we can practically do to try to prevent severe outcomes.
very powerful presentation skills and great content, well done
You can stimulate your Vargas Nerve yourself at any time by closing your ears with your fingers, deeply inhale, and vocally hum “Ommmmmmmmm” going up and down in high and low pitch, experimenting and feeling the sound going up & down your Chakra energy system and Vargas Nerve until you run out of breath, even making vocal noises like Tibetan Monks do in your throat using your tongue, using your own tonal sounds. This has been done for thousands of years. Try it in sessions of 3-5 minutes at a time and see how your body, mind and spirit feel afterwards. Be your own scientist and healer. I appreciate this video, the scientific study, the sacrifices of mice for our learning, and scientists while adding there are additional approaches involving consciousness that conventional science can leave out of the puzzle. We’re not victims to genetics and outside forces unless we believe we are. We must go deeper and excavate to see what’s true for each of us based on belief. Thank you.
we means less I...add loving-kindness & we're on our way to being Bodhisattvas!
"Bubble" mice are an interesting concept. Could some of today's kids be nearly "bubble" kids as regards naturally bacterias? Have limited diets and ultra-sanitized environments caused mental illnesses in young kids? Is lack of contact with soil something we should look into, to make sure kids literally "touch grass"? Lot of interesting extensions off of this topic.
Yes I have noticed so as well
Very true. But I do all that for my kids they are still sick every month. lol
A study from Switzerland conducted several years ago revealed a link between the lack of exposure to various microbes during childhood and an increased risk of developing different illnesses. In other words, children in Western societies live in excessively clean environments.
I've also noticed that children today are more prone to allergies and other illnesses compared to those from a few decades ago.
literally touching grass more would be the worst way to fix possible problems caused by lack of biodiversity. you dont know whats in the soil. it may do nothing for the problems you're experiencing or end up giving you more problems. our best way forward is to learn exactly what bacterias do what and then isolate them to make therapies specific to the problems people are having. you shouldnt carpet bomb your immune system more to possibly aquire a benifical bacteria.
@@paulatreides6779 yeah that's probably because most of the kids with serious food allergies just died young. the increase in people with issues is because the threshold for survival got easier. moving backwards isnt going to fix these issues. it'd likely just lead to more kids dying.
I've heard there are ways to naturally stimulate the 'Vegas nerve' without the need for external devices... I'm not saying the device route's bad/wrong, just that there are alternatives that are easy to do at home (including humming, breathing deeply, & other simple, relaxing techniques)
You are correct.
Dr. Porges: The polyvagal theory. (Book)
Plants too have their root microbiomes and the resilience of plants to climate change can be fortified by inoculating beneficial microbes to root microbiomes.
I have known this for years, my microbiome has huge influence over me 24/7
Have you seen good changes in response to taking up probiotics?
Please, tell me how to fix it.
To enhance your gut microbes simply apply the proper diet. No carbs, zero sugar and absolutely no plants. Yes, NO plants. Plants (most) contain oxalates, these oxalates are not meant for human consumption. Look into the carnivore diet. Dr. Ken Berry or Dr. Anthony Chaffee. The carnivore diet completely changed my life. I highly recommend looking into it.
@@charleyarchuleta4932I take probiotics that contain (lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus rhammnosus, bifidobacterium longum, bifidobacterium breve, bifidobacterium bifidum and lactobacillus lactose in one capsule per day within my diet). These fellas have been great with my body and since I have autism, eczema and Allergies, they have been essential for me.
@@charleyarchuleta4932 there is no point in taking probiotics because the very thing causing a microbiome problem that you drink the biotics to fix is causing the probiotics to never reach that spot in the first place
OK, so this is fascinating - but presenting this information without any insights on how to improve "good" gut bacteria is frustrating. Should we all be taking probiotics?
Exactly my thoughts too!!
Just eat Yogurt and Kimchi daily, it’ll do wonders for your gut microbes.
@@pattibase2293 when have throughout human history did we regularly take probiotics? Probiotics are pointless if you need them that means you have a problem thats preventing microbes in general and probiotics from reaching the desired place. Poor dieting causes this stuff and a healthy diet/lifestyle fixes it
@@starc. Your first dose of microbes is when you’re born (naturally) and through breast feeding. Fermented food has been around for thousands of years and was used to store food and it’s a great source of microbes. A lot of foods in the grocery store though have been irradiated to control food borne illness, unfortunately it kills all the good microbes too. I agree that a healthy diet is great but the added boost from fermented food is backed up by quite a bit of recent research. You can find it with a quick Google search.
@@starc.this sounds right to me but the money machine has to keep turning and people love a medical intervention!
Gave my wife shirota bacteria and reuteri because she was in really bad shape. Changed mood and physical activity very quickly. About 3 days after years of suffering.

I believe it has been widely recognized for quite some time that the bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract can influence our brain and emotions by modulating hormones.
This is probably the most interesting Ted talk I've come across. I'm obsessed with her fluency. I understand everything she's saying. And I'm actually directly dealing with this on my own. I was wondering why my fridge is filling with greek yogurt. And even studying the lesser known Vegas nerve.

I started talking a good quality probiotic about 5 months ago.
It has made a huge difference in my tendency to depression.
Can you share this product info.
wow, this helps open the box to my own symptoms since I've had H=pylori. I've really slowed down mentally and emotionally. I'm also dizzy all the time.
A list of sources, papers, studies referenced in the talks would be helpful
I'm glad this is finally getting attention. I've known this instinctively since I was a kid. I never took antibiotics without a real need (i.e. death) and did my best to avoid toxic foods. Look at the rates of C-sections that deprive the newborn of the initial inoculation from the vaginal canal. Consider the volume of herbicides and pesticides dumped onto our farmland to kill life; the same life found in our gut. Look into the drastic changes in kids who receive unprocessed, real food for the fist time. Sterile food full of preservatives does nothing for you. If it wont go bad on the shelf, it will not feed your micro biome. Think of how much money the pharmaceutical companies have been making selling the poison they put on your food, selling farmers the seed that the poison is applied to, then selling you a pill to "fix" all the problems it has caused. Eat real food, not processed poison.

Wow 😳🤩!
Kathleen McAuliffe`s lecture is an eye-opening experience for me and, perhaps, points the way to the right direction!
I truly hope that the outcome of further/ future studies and researches will at long last the game changer so many affected people and all scientists around the world hope for, as solving the mysteries in links between all bacteria, microbes etc., living in the human body, may hopefully lead to a world at peace!
Best of luck and success!
Centuries ago, Hippocrates said all diseases start in the gut. Doctors didn't pay attention????? Did you get your 80th boo ster yet?
The more I hear about the gut, the more I think we need to change how we eat. All this processed food is killing us. Big Food and the usual combination of greed and money and power.
How about synthetic parasites? The thing so few people are taking notice of in lab studies, is the development of synthetic parasites to alter animals minds as these studies are being done in collaboration with militaries as this will be used to alter human minds for warfare and psychological geopolitical warfare techniques and that will lead to significant issues for human species around the world
Fantastic talk! So glad to hear about the research. It makes me wonder about some of the more rare mental illnesses like bpd.
This is a really fascinating topic as it seems very un-intuitive to me. I wish there were links to some accessible review articles covering each of the mentioned findings. When I search for such things on my own I seem to find either vague popularizations written by people who don't seem to understand the topic, or extremely specific, primary research articles with a minute focus, that speak in dense jargon and lack a big-picture view of the larger topic.
Come on! What a huge missed opportunity to talk abou the SOLUTION to the problem: Food!
How can we control our gut bacteria? How to have good microbiome and not bad? Its obviously the food we eat. Maybe it's not just food, but its mostly food.. we're talking about intestines and feces, it's 90% food there.
We already know this for years.
Cut out processed food and animal food = cut out bad bacteria.
Increase plant-based, natural food intake = increase good bacteria.
It's that simple. And it should have been said in this video.
Outstanding and brilliant talk! Thank you,
My own story goes: I worked for a paleo restaurant for a few years and also dated a guy who was gluten free at the same time so I just naturally stopped consuming gluten and I had already stopped eating dairy bc I figured out I was (still) allergic to it.
Once I stopped dating the gluten free guy I started dating a guy who had no restrictions so I started eating gluten again bc I thought it was fine for me but it absolutely was not. Not only did/do I get TERRIBLE gastro issues if I get even so much as a crumb of gluten (these days) but I also figured out that it literally gives me "mood swings" or at least makes me MUCH quicker to rage and at veritably anything. I felt like I wasn't myself so I stopped eating it and never went back!
What we eat or ingest matters far more than initially understood. Food is either medicine or a slow poison. Clean water and air also have a massive impact. We have the biggest impact on what we eat. It's one of the few things we have FULL control over. Choose wisely. Moderation in everything.
I've suffered from chronic I.B.S., anxiety and depression ever since I came home from over seas "Iraq"....
This really makes me want to get someone healthier and transfer thier gut bacteria to mine....
Probably those MREs with their preservatives messing with your gut.
so what is the recommended diet or supplements?

Satnaam ji, that’s why in India there is old saying, “as is the food as is the mind”
Had i gone toward an MD/PHD 10 years ago - this is exactly what i had said i would study.
I was interested by the idea that bacteria cause mice to seek out cats.. and came to the hypothesis we may have similar reactions.
So true, I don’t understand why this information is not ubiquitous… ❤️🌱🌱🌱
Great summary, been looking a lot into this recently.
Could certain microbes present in dogs cause behavioural changes in humans once they enter the human’s digestive tract? This would support my theory and explain why dog fanatics engage in high-risk/self destructive behaviours, such as venerating and glorifying the ownership of an unpredictable, remorseless, bloodthirsty predator (dog) which is responsible for over 28,000 reconstructive surgeries every year in the USA alone and 30-50 deaths per year in the USA alone, transmission of zoonotic diseases, destruction of property, creation of noise pollution, violence between neighbours, ruining of relationships, pollution of our water, etc. Someone please research this! The behaviour of dog worshippers is exactly like the irrational, self-destructive behaviour you see in animals infected with mind-controlling parasites.
Fantastic. So lactobacillus is what we should try and elevate to balance our moods?
The question is really, if it is the gut bacteria or the food itself, since most bacteria don't survive the stomach.
It may help, but it's more beneficial to look after our overall gut microbiome. I'd reccomend the podcasts on the Zoe channel for more information:)
@@Yuusou.it seems like the only way to truly elevate our gut bacteria is by fecal matter transplants, which too me is just too inconvenient to do
Look up a recent review article in Frontiers in Nutrition titled "Berberine influences multiple diseases by modifying gut microbiota", incredibly interesting read, and berberine hydrochloride is reasonably inexpensive.
@@Yuusou.All of this neatly sidesteps a truth that many find hard to swallow (pun intended) - that your diet affects all sorts of things. Ask yourself: how did you get the gut microbiome you have? Taking the metaphor of the two wolves, you need to starve the gut flora you don't want, while feeding the ones you do. And pretty much all science puts that diet squarely as being also good for you apart from how it affects your gut microbiome (ie, whole food plant based).
Many Guru did said: Gut is the second brain of us

Carnivore doctors have the answer to gut bacteria problems: stop eating carbs and fibre, eat fatty meat, fish, eggs and butter, and you will be as healthy as can be - for some the optimum way to good gut health which leads to overall health is only beef or lamb, salt and water.

Our mind is just a pattern storage and recognition organ. It compares input patterns (sensory perception) to stored patterns (memory) and calculates likely outcome patterns (thought).
This is the you that you think you are.
The gut feeling (emotion) is just an older internal operating system closer to the one used by your organs.
Think of your organs as separate organisms, they like and dislike things just like you. They actually have authoritative control (emotional irrational behaviour, fight or flight)
Your mind was developed to protect and provide for the body of organisms (organs and their inhabitants) you are their interface with the outside world. you are their ruler but they can be unruly if you mistreat them.

Is the malfunction of these bacteria caused by eating food covered with pesticide and herbicides? It will be a long time before the regulators allow this to be found out I think, but there weren't so many people with "divergent neurological" conditions years ago when all food was organic

Welllllll.....We've long used the expression "I don't know. I just had a gut reaction" or "a feeling in my gut".
I believe the gut has a huge impact on mental health. I watched a close friend have bariatric surgery and turn into someone I did NOT want in my life. She became a garbage person and treated her friends and family like garbage after her surgery. It was appalling to watch someone who I thought was a good human being turn into a loser, but also an extremely easy break-up because--even though she blamed me for her behavior, there is no way I was at fault. Disclaimer: I know that there were other factors that contributed to her change in behavior. But I definitely believe that the drastic change to her gut was a contributing factor. Now she has no friends, no job, no prospects, no future--she is 40 and lives on her mom's couch now. That was her choice; I hope she's happy.

Gives new meaning to “My name is Legion, for we are many.“ … maybe it was a gut bacteria thing?
does this mean that eating psychoactive mushrooms could permanently alter personality for reasons other than the psychedelic experience itself...?
Wow!
Yeah we need more research on all this. Like if you ingest a particular food or substance, does it leave you with a particular type of bacteria in your gut either temporary or long term? Or on the other hand, does that food or substance reduce or eliminate a particular bacteria in the gut? Seems there is going to need to be much more research into this and probably going to be some time. But as you mentioned perhaps start with the mind altering substances, alcohol, mushrooms, etc.
