The bar at the bottom showing which topic in the video is being discussed is such a great feature!
I think exactly the opposite.. it distracts and gives a sense of urgency to finish. Let us just concentrate on what the man says.
Agreed!
Meaning, I love the bar there as well.
@@msinbalony I agree with you
Truly !! Its a must from now on everywhere :) especially useful if you want to come back to something and listen again
For someone who’s been suffering with the gut for all of my life, and now depression as well, this information gives hope to push forward. Thank you so much! :)
So glad it helped!
Just Fast, eat once a day-advise from Africa
it's 2 years later - did this info help?
I had ulcerative colitis almost died antibiotics killed my microbial. No doctors told me to change my diet. I researched like crazy. I have managed to save myself. Thanks Tom and Lisa you guys rock💪
Audrey Harvey
What did you do? I have been struggling for years. Too many symptoms to mention. Bad gut and digestive issues. Please, any advice?
Audrey Harvey i wish you told us what you did and what kind of diet helped.
eat fiber to feed your gut bacteria......except for wheat
I changed everything exercise and eating very clean no gluten less sugar. Organic meat and everything. Take probotics and digestive enzymes fish oil. Coconut oil. Very little dairy LOTS of filtered water with lemon juice. Meditation. Hopefully this helps those who asked.
After you take the probiotics, how are they going to survive? They only eat fiber and meat, oils ....have zero fiber.
Glad I'm learning about all this stuff at 22! Can't wait for sickness to be something that's optional! The future is gonna be AWESOME! BTW I absolutely love the health theory show Tom as this is a topic I'm very much fascinated by. Keep these things coming! I'm a learning machine these days lol
At 22 i started telling my self i was a day younger every day and also told myself i never get ill. Now at the age of 58 i look 35-40 all my hair same colour its always been. Never had tooth decay as a resul of brushing teeth with sea salt water..
Im pleased for your observations good health and good luck to you
You just put sea salt and water and don’t use toothpaste ?
Great idea on Sea salt
This is why people would pray and say thank you for the food before eating .... great episode thank you
MSG .
I thot of that too. How we have gotten away from a personal/individual/inner life just because institutional religion has shown it’s self to be shallow/social clubs. Knowing/realizing gratitude is a healing state we must hold onto meaningful,
good habits. There are some ‘basics’ to return to. So, amen, I agree, as I take three deep breaths and pray.🌞
I just finished reading Sleep Smarter with my wife and we were blown away at this fact. It radically changes so much!
the brain even looks exactly like the intestines too
My guy your brain is not a bundle of piss tubes XD
exactly and with goes through many brains. LOL
peruface I’ve always thought this as well
peruface God, I never even thought about that. But, now that you mentioned it ... lol. And, you’re right!!! That’s crazy when ya think about it!!!
@@sabothawk9491 As isn’t your gut.
Tom, have you ever looked into fermented food? I think it might be the solution to your wife's problem. Fermenting food creates a whole variety of bacteria that will fill your gut once you eat it, and which is responsible for a lot of human mechanisms, including digesting, which is simply those small organisms eating the compounds of the food you eat and transforming them into assimilable compounds for your gut and your body. Most of our health issues are due to the fact that we eat "dead" or pasteurized food, so our guts and our body are deprived of life. We've always eaten fermented food until the industrial revolution and then suddenly stopped, that's why the diversity of our micro biome has never been so scarce. The living stuff we eat are making sure we are healthy and that we too stay alive and functioning well. Thanks for this episode :)
Ive gone back to a more traditional Asian/Chinese diet. Miso soups, fermented black soy beans for stir fry flavoring. I've even incorporate natto in to my diet. I think its helping, although i need to get my sleep cycle in order.
Sauer kraut will solve ur issues 100 percent
@@shantnusharma3164 really bro
What if you have histaminosis?
Is that why they always trust your gut ? Haha awesome video !
I definitely felt a difference in mind fog and state of anxiety and sadness when I'm on a keto diet .
This was great Tom. Seriously man, thank you. I almost died, due to intense inner lining and esophageal issues; but I've been HEAVILY focused on the proper nutrient intake protocols. I realized that, just as a car that requires unleaded gas cannot use water, to efficiently operate; our bodies NEED the right fuel! Sounds simple, not always lived out though, unfortunately. I've been helping a ton of people turn it around, as well. Anyways, Injust wanted to stop by and say thanks. You got a subscribe from me, last year. See you at the top brother. God bless!!!🙏🏾
Thank you for the kind words! So glad you liked the episode!
So lovely 😊
Also important to change the oil lol... Removal of mucoid plaque :) glad you turned it around. Love this.
I am all in to discover this awesome area of health,having been a registered nurse for 35 years in hospital,and dealing with the first outbreaks of cdiff. and nobody really having answers at first,this is so beautiful to learn,now for myself as well as the world community,and help with spreading the word on gut health.
Gut health is the truth
You are what ya eat I guess?
Lm
No wonder you get an upset stomach when you are anxious.
I always learn a little something from these videos, but I’m blown away today! I developed eating disorders (weird!) and ultra-serious depression (double weird!!) after all the stress incurred by joining the military. I went from a healthy, paleo-ish, happy person to someone in chronic joint pain, emotionally numb, and 60 pounds heavier. Oh, and 50 of those were gained in the first year alone, at which point I developed bulimia as a desperate measure to slow down the gain! I’m out now, and working to put myself back together. My theory was to focus on my gut first, and now I’m more convinced that it’s a pretty smart place to start, but with the added measure of stress management.
I’m starting my own YT journey soon, and I’m going to do everything I can to bring you more followers. You can really help so many people!
Heidi McCray - How you doing, Heidi? May I recommend sauerkraut and kefir, yoga and meditation, rhodiola and ashwagandha. And, of course, let fly all those things you can do nothing about.
I love the table of contents bar at the bottom of the video. It is so helpful for referencing and replaying specific clips. Thank you for producing this series. I am learning so much and growing by leaps and bounds.
Dr. Mayer's book changed my entire life and outlook. It awakened my cognizance of my gut,
I've been taking an overall cellular health supplement from a food science company for over 26 years. I feel such comfort knowing I have everything I need from one place. Watching this video for a class in Mind Body Medicine.
Reading his book now, it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
This channel is a blessing
I used to suffer horrendous acid reflux. After just a few weeks meditating before preparing a meal, sitting up straight while I eat, and breathing through my diaphragm, I haven't had it in 3 weeks.
Hey hello i am from india for last two years i am suffering from gastritis and GERD. To much bloating fatiuge plus mouth ulcers.
I was on ppi that lead to vitamin b12 and vitamin D deficiencies in me i don't know what diet i should eat.
It seems chronic disease seems too many gut issues at same time like gastritis, chron disease, leaky gut and all at same time it's so overwhelming
Need a help how meditation helped you
Hey Tom, great job again. I love to learn about optimizing my energy and health, then sharing with loved ones. Impact Theory and Health Theory are fucking life changing dude! You and team are killing it, no bullshit content, your work ethic, and commitment shine through. You are changing my whole paradigm on everything for the better! I hope to meet you someday and thank you in person. Loyal fan...
Pretty sure they were talking about Genova diagnostic tests particularly GI effects profile for thr Gut Microbiome. Proud to be part of the organization offering that here in the Philippines.
AMAZING!! This information has been so helpful. Thank you! 🙏💕✨
I truly love, admire and appreciate that what you're doing with this show.
Fascinating body language between them.
Thanks for this Tom. Together you and your wife, I hope your wife Lisa gets well in this journey of discovering how to go about what she is going through personally. The SURPRISE of EXERCISE having the BIGGEST IMPACT is mindblowing right there. Here is a guy talking about the gut and diet. It just goes to show how powerful the brain is and exercise obviously keeps the brain healthy and whatever state it is in keeps the gut in check which reports back to brain in a constant loop. Wow! Thanks as well to your open and candid guest Emeran!
This was awesome! Thank you so much. I liked your questions/style .
Great content. Also loving the contents on the bottom of the screen again.
Just want to check in and say thanks for another impactful conversation!
Thaaank youuu!! Keep them coming 😁😁
Thank you inspiring and opening . Love
This interview was legendary!
I really like the Idea Of Health Theory. Great Job On The Production Of This Series
I love this. Super fascinating stuff!!
Nice episode!!! Great insights!
Really good video! Thank you Tom
Ive been dealing with GI problems for 2 years now. Definitely want to check out his book. Thanks for this video!
Previously I had many problems with my gut, Now a days I am enjoying the life from One year. My friend suggested me use small quantity of 100% pure aloevera inner gel (Not home made) at early morning. After that I am used Fish oil with calamari in a soft gel. Thank God.

Need your help how it helped you alovera
Great video. Extremely important topic.
Poor gut health means poor absorption of key nutrients that supply your brain and body.
For certain people there are certain foods that can alter the way the gut would normally respond to food, or, overproduction of bad bacteria in the gut can compete for those nutrients that your body needs, or, stressors or stimulants, or both, can restrict nutrients being absorbed into the body.
When your body doesn't receive the important vitamins and minerals available in the food you eat, many of which support important enzyme functions, you will develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies that lead to anxiety, depression, poor muscle function, changes in hormonal function and so forth.
You have to keep track of what you eat and pay special attention to how it affects your gut and then your entire body.
Does this happen for everybody? How can I know for sur if something is having a more negative effect?
Thank You So much
Congratulations. Always great information. I
I loved the comment of the young man 22 . He recognizes he’s lucky to have this information in such an young age. Above all, you have a great attitude. Very smart. Good for you
FMT has gained MAJOR popularity since this video was published - I wonder what Dr. Mayer thinks now?
Watching this after 3 days of Stomach gastro haha, came in the perfect time thank you God and Tom!
So glad it was useful!
👀 Amazing information Tomas 👌 thanks for bringing these topics of function of the gut 👍🏻 blessings to all 🙏🙏🙏
Very good
Health Theory is a Unique and brilliant concept.
Glad you like it!
Yet another great video..
Excellent!!!
Good stuff. Thanks.
Amazing video sir........as always.....😊
Such great information! I think it's only the tip of the iceberg with the gut-brain connection.
Thanks for this information. Gb..
Good thing he followed his gut feeling.
That was extremely interesting!
Funny thing, I was about to suggest on interviewing this guy but apparently you already knew 😂
Awesome as always! His book is so good and eye opening. And this interview was very nice, it really gave a look what kind of a guy he is like it's not that he says one thing and isn't ready to change his mind if need to be 🤔 very nice
Inspiring talk. Such an important topic for us all to understand more about.
Amazing talk! Did not know that your microbiota can map out a basketball court! Insane, thanks!
Being a health coach- I cant agree more!!!!!!!!!
Im loveing health theory was very pleased to see a new episode
Glad you like it!
It sounds like you are scratching the surface of realizing just how much damage we have done to ourselves over time through neglect. But the neglect is not our fault since the environment was not there for us to flourish. We need to change our environment and circumstances as a species for the whole planet to get up levels. There can;t be small bubbles of safety underground. It needs to be the whole planet.
The questions that you asked are profoundly bringing out all the best information in all your interviews. I was surprised when he says serotonin is mostly in our gut. Thank you for this interview.

@@the_unconventional_Indian77 You should check out Tom's interviews and health impact, Lisa (tom's wife) also had gut issues, he started a quest to investigate to the bottom of it, you should also check out conversation with tom (the episode with ben greenfield), hope this helps
@@Belle1 do you have chronic gut issues
@@the_unconventional_Indian77 only gastric
@@Belle1 i have gastritis inflamation to stomach lining
I do empathise with Lisa's situation. I suffered from IBS from my late teens onwards, and kept suffering until I learned to live with and *manage* IBS, which sounds like where you guys are at now. Thank you for bringing such a relevant issue to light. People don't realise how much chronic stomach issues can impact your life, including socially and psychologically. I'd also recommend checking out the work of Dr Mark Pimental, who puts people through a program of complete microbiome reconditioning, including an elemental diet - although I'm sure there have been advances since I read his first book on the subject. Thanks Tom and everyone at Theory for giving us this amazing content!
I have Also IBS and I was trying everything. And nothing work until I met my gastroenterolog and put me on amptriptiyne and my IBS desapear completely thanks god .
@@carolinamadariaga1644 Yes that can be very effective! Glad you're benefitting from it!
Most of the things I see science proving now are already written in Hindu scriptures. Yoga, Ayurveda, medical science. I am just amazed sometimes. I am not spiritual but I know our ancestors knew all this stuff.
Its all in islamic medical books too .
Nothing new under the sun that's for sure
@TalkLogic to me oye 3rd class low life . didn't internet also discorver then ? 😂😂😂
Great episode, I feel sorry for Lisa, seems to have many problems with digestion ! 🤗
Every time I hear a health theory it really makes me think about changing my diet for the better and at least giving keto a shot for a good period of time
Thanks ☺
Mr. Bilyeu, I just meditated-prayed for you and your wife's good health.. God showed me 'infrared' light. So I just Googled to see if it is a thing or if it even exists... and it looks like it does... check out 'infrared micro-biome therapy' I will keep you both in my prayers! BEST WISHES!
Please check out the spectrum, far infrared is the highest, but red or blue may have the right nm/frequency to have a positive impact

great information from Fred Willard's more serious brother. thanks!
Yes, is that right because i am looking changes in mind after cleanings of guts.
Sounds like a vote for seasonal organic whole food plant-based diet to me!
Great vid! Tom if you haven’t already you have to check out The Plant Paradox by Dr. Gundry. What could be contributing or causing your wife’s gut issues are lectins in night shades, legumes, corn, and/or grain. Gluten is the most famous lectin but there are many others that can be even more harmful to people sensitive to them (eg, the skin and seeds of tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, etc.)
Despite being a health nut I struggled for years with severe debilitating allergies that would cause respiratory infections and sinus infections. I also would get excruciating headaches and had unpleasant digestive issues. The Plant Paradox changed my life. Since I have cut lectins out of my diet I am allergy, infection, and headache free. Please get this book for your wife. You’ll be glad you did!
I love strawberries. Are lectins bad for everybody?

Check out the book Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (Emeran Mayer actually wrote a positive review for it in the beginning). It provides so much hope. It provides guidance on how to fix your gut while avoiding the bloating issues along the way. It is one of my favorites to use as a nutritionist with clients.
Loved the interview - just one thing (maybe I missed it because I was distracted... then sorry!) - What is his suggestion now on how to eat exactly? Plant based is the best for microbial diversity?
Avoid gluten. Take probiotics supplements. it also depends on the person.
Finna go get the book right now I’m tired of suffering from not eating because if poor digestion
This was amazing :) oh man Tom, you'd simply love Dr. Robert Moorse and Dan Mcdonald the life regenerator. So much of this ties in and they are so logical and informative. Some of the clearest and most impactful information I've ever heard. Maybe check them out :)
Oh man Sorin, Morse is a naturoquacker, not a doctor.
My hope that by now Lisa is taking a healthy dose of grass fed Gelatin and L-Glutamine....But I'm sure you/she knows that. As a VIOME LOVER and ambassador myself - kudos to this video and love any discussions about our guts! What about a show on Gut instincts/Intuition and the microbiome? I think Deepak Chopra would be a cool person to interview regarding this conscious connection...just thoughts. Thank you and Aloha from Oahu!

Would taking the supplement Clarkia be helpful?
I wish this was cut less. Fascinating stuff.
Curious to know how you feel about a parasite cleanse in connections with the microbiome and if it could help basically reboot the gut? Do you think this would have a positive or negative effect on someone normal and someone with chrons disease
Unfortunately, I don't know enough to answer this question. But there are many people out there in the functional medicine world that could help. Just do some searches for functional medicine and you should be able to identify the players pretty quickly.
Thanks Tom ❤️ as always killer content
What are some of the best probiotics to take?
Gut microbes man… the best friends we never knew we had!
What you are looking for as far as the communication of your body with your body is our electrical system. Our energy, called our chakras. Medical doctors refuse to acknowledge this all important system. IT is more difficult to research something that you can not see, but can only be felt. But it can bee seen slightly by some people, and it can be measured by anyone with the right equipment. So unless we are also talking about our energy centers and the frequency our body is vibrating on, then the conversation will eventually lead to circles.
Tom can we know more about Parkinson’s gut brain links. Please

I been dealing with gut issues for years and it seems to keep getting worse and now it's messing with my mental state, energy and everyday life.
I had a holistic doctor have me do the viome gut test and it came back as I have low diversity in gut... I did a sibo test and came back negative. My gut health is ruining my life and I feel the overgrowth of bad bacteria is causing all this... I been looking into a probiotic to help this issue I was thinking the life enthusiast Strata-flora ... but I'm not 100% since I don't know anything about probiotics. Any help or recommendations?
Hi Tom
Amazing job with this new segment on Health covering overall well being with focus on Optimising Brain.👍
I do have a list of people whom you should bring into the show and the first one would be Alex Zhavoronkov of Insilico Medicine.
Person at a level of Elon Musk in Healthcare pushing towards phenomenal transformation.
To put it simple, in last couple of years he did almost the amount work what could be done in a decade.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Ginger, fantastic

nice to get such in-depth discussions about something that is actually scientific! i mean, dont get me wrong, i like the usual personal development talk (i myself built a whole channel around it), but sometimes it does feel a bit vague. so a value videos like this where something concrete is covered!
Trick your brain by smiling even when you don't feel like it.
I'm getting a Fred Willard Fernwood Tonight vibe from the Dr.

If you are chronically stressed you will get cramps, changes speeds of process in gut. If you get stressed ex: almost hit by car for 5 minutes that’s not a problem, but if you are chronically stressed it can change the entire “gut habitat and environment”, negative emotions are never really good for anything.
The gut has the microbes, brain and blood vessels don’t have microbes.
Microbes are invisible but if you condensed all of them they would be size of basketball court.
Last remaining hunter/gathers: paper - microbiome has a seasonal variation, summer vs winter, is they switch to plant to meat based diet, when they don’t have high plant intake, gut looks like our, when they go to plant based, they regain their diversity.
Diet and Depression? He said keto diet is paradoxical. Tom - didn’t have lifting of brain frog, tom eats 30 grams of carbs from vegetables daily, low carb…. Wife - anti-inflammatory affects, when she does ketogenic diet her (swollen feeling of stomach goes away), still has problems with diarrhea, cramping, bloating, pain. Not a silver bullet.
Microbes live off what we eat. He seemed like he has some data but isn’t convinced 100% on any one type of diet or food. Basically saying eveyone is different and unique. Different things work for different people.
Similarities
Don’t eat while stressed, do meditative breathing while eating, when you are stressed your gut is completely different than when you aren’t stressed.
Books
Brain, gut connection
@Tom Bilyeu - I hope by now the wife has been evaluated for SIBO (Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). "Swollen gut" sounds like the abdominal distension SIBO patients experience.
I believe I had this since I was a kid and that's pretty much the truth about all of my setbacks and I had bad grades and in a way cause d to still make poor decisions in life in a way more now still in a way Too day.Amen.
raw plant based lifestyle works, thank you kindly for this video

@@the_unconventional_Indian77 intermittent fasting and a plant based diet. No animal products. Do this for a year.
YES, another big vote for Intermitten Fasting. Even after Dr. Dean Ornish Reversal Program for Diabetes and Heart Disease (it took two stents to get my attention) I have gained even more taking control of my eating by I.F. I’ve dropped 17lbs. mostly waist fat and sleeping flat & longer after 25 years on a slant due to G.E.R.D. Lots of extra time not preparing and eating sSOooMuch. New bumper sticker: Rushed For Time Slow-Down... and Fast.
I had IBS and nothing work just Medicine that my doctor put me on and all the issues with my stomach desapear . He put me on amptriptylin that it’s antidepressant 4 weeks I didn’t feel good and after the miracle happen not a single pain more in my stomach . But this medicine your gastroenterolog need to put you on and the doctor need to evaluate you first your situation .
