Great to start the year with you and Mr. B (while having breakfast). Will is a a truly great educator with a very foundational wise philosophy to put that into context. So glad you had him on. Happy new year!
About the red 💩, one morning I saw a red color in the bowl & was instantly panik'd but I remembered that I had eaten ALOT of beets the day before. The day after this, there was no more redness in the bowl after so I think beets can discolour it- wait a day or later that day & keep checking
How wonderful would it be if all doctors had the intention to actually help people! It is always nice to find doctors that are willing to listen and understand where people are coming from. Great interview!
They will not make as much money as they want so they don’t. The only ones who speak out about it are the doctors who make money outside of being just a doctor, they write books, have other businesses, they do seminars, etc. A lot of doctors are only doctors so if they lose patients they lose money.
So they go thru 12+ years of study, powering through tough internships, incurring debt, stress, and wear and tear on their mind and body to minister to a body that our own sloth, stupidity, ignorance, and self abuse has messed up and you assume that they DON'T want to help people?? What have YOU and the majority of us done to further public health other than reject, whine, and ignore what they have told us. Your attitude needs adjustment.
I haven’t slept for 2 days because of gut health problems, I’m tired, anxious, and depressed. I’m 20 seconds into this video. I’m ready and willing to make a change to transform my life. Let’s see what happens. Update after almost 2 months: Firstly, I was blown away by the comments and support after my comment. People are generally nice and kind, despite what we're told. I really was in a bad way and needing help before watching this episode, but I've slept a week now for 8 hours and here's what I did. 1) Intermittent fasting. My eating window is between 12pm - 5pm or 1pm - 6pm, so 5 hours a day and I eat what I want. It's hard to start with but definitely worth it. 2) Eat 30+ plants a week (Dr Tim Spector). In fact I do this nearly everyday and the tips in the video really help. Make your nut and seed mix and eat your ferments! I take enzymes to help digest some foods like cabbage. 3) Manage glucose. Wow this is a big one! Watch the episode with the Glucose Goddess Jessie Inchauspé it has changed my life. Eat your greens and fibre first, avoid sugar early (or completely), take breaks between meals, vinegar before meals, exercise after eating. 4) Avoid drinking fluids (except vinegar) 30 mins before eating and 1.5 hours after eating (Barbara O'Neill). You wash away all the acid and bacteria that helps digest your food. This is a game changer for me and it really helps! 5) Avoid alcohol. Sorry folks this is the hardest and most difficult but if you want to sleep well then don't think you can cheat on this one. I still drink but I know the day I do I won't sleep as well and that's the trade off. 6) Last meal 6 - 8 hours before bed (Bryan Johnson). I used to only be able to sleep after eating which I now know was my glucose crashing. Don't put your body to work digesting food and expect to sleep. 7) Exercise. This should probably go at number one. Do it daily, enjoy it. Move, stretch and sweat. 8) Learn / Identify your FODMAP - we all have intolerance and sensitivities specific to us. Learn which foods within FODMAP trigger your issues. Mine is gluten, onion, garlic. I avoid those food categories. 9) Melatonin 1mg just before going to sleep (Bryan Johnson). Possibly a controversial one and might not be for everyone, but it helps me. I put this at 9 because if you don't do 1-8 this is not going to help you, believe me I tried and it can make you worse if you try and use it to cheat sleep! 10) Be kind to yourself. You are not perfect. If you drink or eat late and don't sleep then don't worry about it. Tomorrow is another day and a new chance to be a better you. Life is for living so enjoy it, but remember to be kind to your body and mind so you need to recover and go again. Love, A.
I do also have that issues. I drink a lot but I’m trying to improve em. I’m going for a full body checkup tomorrow to see if there’s anything severe as I’m always bloated and are having heartburns and indigestions these days. Wish me luck!
I work in construction so have that stereotypical energy drink, fast food diet that pretty much everyone has. I listened to this podcast on Monday, a week ago, and I can honestly say it’s changed my life with immediate impact. My fibre uptake has gone up, I eat far more ‘plants’ each day, and my diet has improved tenfold. I feel more energetic and healthier in every way
I became a poop scientist when I worked in construction years ago. The porta potties were filled with some of the most unhealthy excrements I'd ever seen 😂
I used to eat carbs /fast food, then i switched full on carnivore, I lost 5 stone (around 70lbs) in 5 months, I have so much energy now, I never snack as I dont need to and just eat 1 meal a day. Feeling fantastic and everyone is saying I look 20 years younger
Five gastroenterologist! Five! Not one asked me what my poop looked like and didn’t care when I told them. Not one asked me what I was eating. Blood tests showing slight pancreatic enzyme increases with severe abdominal pain. Light yellow poo for years and not one cared that my poo was that color. I wished all doctors cared like you do and are describing. Thank you for this episode, Steven. Very insightful.
I have just been diagnosed with coeliac disease and have anaemia and yellow poo it is a sign of malabsorption that comes from coeliac, might be worth getting screened.
He's an amazing interviewer for that very reason. I love that he's listening and learning just like we are. I love listening to this doctor and I'm so happy to be able to hear to him speak uninterrupted.
It should also be noted that previous healthier generations ate plenty of saturated fats and red meat, but what they didn’t eat as much of, or at all, is processed foods and sugar. Maybe they ate more fiber, and maybe they lived in a less sanitized world as well.
- 30 different plants per week, legumes, whole grains, start slow with fiber - consume fermented foods, pre, probiotics are needed to produce postbiotics - sauerkraut (cabbage, seasalt, water, let it sit for a week) - kimchi - apple cider vinegar is fermented too - pickles (cucumber, salt walter with dill, garlic, no vinegar) - you should have a bowel movement every day to every second day or so - stress can manifest in your gut ! people with trauma will be more likely to develop digestive issues, addressing this can be crucial to healing - vagus nerve is in the gut, talks to your brain - flax, chia and walnut seeds - onions, garlic, shallots - chickpeas, mushrooms, seaweed
According to FODMAP I do not tolerate chick peas, I love hummus but it jacks me up…bloated, gassy, constipated I look pregnant. Onion, garlic, watermelon, beer wine. So fermentation jacks me up. I do I get around this?
Avoid it. I have high BP. No fermented foods. High in sodium. Even pickled. Stick to what you can eat. We are not perfect. Create the best gut health for you. 😊
Carnivore makes no sense then. There is a conflict here. Carnivore rids of inflammation and plants/veggies are inflammatory. Something is off among the 'experts' !!! Some one is full of BS !
Don’t you just love Stephen. He’s so good at asking the right questions. Just as I’m thinking about the question he actually asks it. Big fan of this podcast. x
I absolutely agree. Every time I think of a question I would ask, he does it. That's what a great interviewer does. They anticipate the questions that viewers would ask and they ask those questions on our behalf. This is one of Steven's superpowers.
What is the difference between enzymes and gut microbiomes? Why is that some people lack enzymes to digest beans, peas and milk? How can one treat bloating/ flatulence?

This expert is one of my favorites. He is so eloquent, passionate and concise that its quite a rare thing to see even though ive been watching tons of experts talking about their knowledge. 😊
Im a doctor, thank you for highlighting the latest research and ill be passing this on to my patients. You are also an excellent science communicator. Kudos!
I hope you will read his cited research yourself before you regurgitate this stuff to your patients. That’s part of what has gotten western medicine into the mess it’s in now.

Stephen, I've been with you a long time. I'm a 51 year young mother of 2 men. I want you to know, you have changed my life and given me confidence to start my own business. This episode is my favourite of all. I wasn't expecting it. It's completely blown me away.Thanks so much for everything you do. You have no idea how much you have helped me. 🙏♥️
Me too! I'm 50, and I have more hope for the future than ever. I feel that many of these people are speaking to the youth of the world, but we have needed this too as we enter Chapter 2 of our lives! We are scaling my husband's business, and I'm looking to buy a successful one! I'm praying for your success!
Before you take the advice from someone, pay attention on how that person looks (according to the context obviously). This guy is talking about the gut health and he looks amazing, his skin is perfect, his hair, his energy and mental clarity 🙌 Thank you for share you knowlege
22:00 the 30 different "veggies" that contribute to a helpful healthy gut microbiome. It is nuts, seeds, wholegrains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. (the later the more important). Kale is especially good (onions too). The average person only eats 10 - 15. If that.
Halfway through this episode and I must say this interview is my absolute favourite on the channel. So enlightening! I've been on an almost three year journey caring for my gut microbiome (even quit drinking alcohol) so this was so relevant and reaffirming. Love this epiosde!
Absolutely needed!! ❤️I love how doctors are taking a different route and informing us on ways to improve the quality of our lives instead of pushing medication.
I would actually say that good doctors, doctors who are truly invested in their patients who are willing to learn about nutrition and are not in it for the money or just following what their practice demands of them who get kick backs are the great doctors. Nutrition isn’t taught in Med school. Doctors need to learn about it on their own or take separate classes that aren’t required in their schooling. I really appreciate this doctor and those like him.
Love that he addresses how hormones are affected by gut health! So many doctors don’t talk about this. I feel most doctors should all have a minor in gut health and a minor nutrition.
Sadly we are moving into a world where our healthcare will be nothing more than a 'doctor' (not to be confused with the artisan physicians, we see less and less of each passing decade who constantly studied and knew their craft) typing symptoms into a tablet and treating their patient accordingly. In a lot of ways, AI is as big of a threat to the human profession of 'medical doctor' as the self-service checkouts at a store are to those previously human-held jobs. On another note, many stores are removing the self-service checkout due to increases in theft attributed to the process. Just because you CAN do something, doesnt mean that you SHOULD. Its a hopeful example of Nature (human nature) correcting itself. The most moral character will be hard-pressed not to help themselves if they cant earn a living, which is an example of cause and effect. EDIT: Went to a store that had a cashier, but they didnt touch money. The 'item scanner' (I guess, lol - cashier title seems to be on the way out) pushed your items along then you fed your coupons dollars and change into the conveyor belt's side panel. Electronic counterfeit protection? Employee theft vs. 'Pandemic germ' carrying money?!??
Unfortunately, you cannot expect any support from either the FDA or the AMA. They make entirely too much money keeping you sick and miserable. Your health, or lack thereof, is their stock market.
Wouldn't help them. Most doctors are just operators who apply a complicated protocol. Don't mean to put down their hard work to get there, but even their hands are tied. If they don't follow their procedures, and something happens to the patient, they risk loosing their license. If they follow the procedure to the letter, and their patient dies, nothing wrong with that. Totally wrong incentives.
I love this guy, I have seen him before but what a treat to get 2 hrs of his time! I have only just discovered this channel and wow - it is like an oasis of sanity in a world of craziness and stress and so much breadth and depth of information across the channel with all your guests. You have a wonderfully calm and clear interviewing style which is very refreshing also. I can't thank you and your team enough!
This is hands down one of the very best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Not only is the subject matter so fascinating and relevant… I’ve had a personal discovery and proof to the gut biome and connection to depression… but Dr. Will is very knowledgeable and insightful, and the questions you asked were spot on! Everyone should view this , and I plan to share with my friends and family. Love love love it … thank you for doing this !!❤❤
I was just browsing around YT for acne treatment and came across this episode. I cant believe i watched the entire 2 hrs without skipping any parts. Very informative and mind blowing. I have neglected my microbiomes for so long and its time to restore it. Thanks doc!
That had me transfixed. A friend of mine told me she had reversed her genetic insulin resistance through the Zoe project. I didn't have time to research into it and then I found this amazing podcast. I may not have the money or possibility to do it but this podcast has given me more avenues to try, more books to order. Thank you so much, Steve, to you and your team in producing interesting and highly informative discussions that are a pleasure to watch.
This episode was unbelievably informative and fascinating and life changing in so many ways! I woke up early this morning, grabbed my phone to listen to a podcast and randomly chose this one! I’m so glad I did! Laying in bed listening now for almost two hours I’ve now not only planned a super fibre rich breakfast but also a new super fibre rich healthy shopping list I’ll be using each time I hit the supermarket in 2024!! What an outstanding Doctor and speaker. You both bounced off each other so well in this interview. Thank you for starting my day off on a new healthier path! ❤❤
Glad to hear this talk motivated and inspired you so much and that you made changes immediately, but be careful not to go too far too quickly. The doctor mentioned how increasing fiber intake dramatically can cause gut upset and pain because we don't yet have the microbes to process them. Start slow and ramp up. Add a healthy salad with lots of nuts, seeds, and a few kinds of beans to your daily diet - that would be a good start. Eat more nuts as snacks. Add more varieties of fruits and vegetables to your diet as you go. Anyway, good health and prosperity to you!
I've been aware of my gut health and leaky gut for 20 years. I started taking probiotics about 20 years ago because I have had so many health problems all of my life. All of my problems related to infections. All over my body. But I believed it was all caused by leaky gut. It was very, very difficult for me to find information and support for many years. All I can say is, FINALLY!
Super interesting. I have been suffering for 15 years .. mostly very thin watery . No Dr has ever found something wrong with my stomach. Watching this is giving me hope.
What a fantastic doctor! I spent a lot of time with a family member going from one gastroenterologist to another only learning they give the same cookie-cutter pharmaceutical answers. He was a wealth of knowledge and shared it so kindly and generously. God Bless him and his family!
This is by far the best podcast I’ve listened too. Blown away by Will’s presented communication on his knowledge! Certainly given me the blueprint to implement new habits into my daily routine which I have started today! Love listening to your podcast Steven ❤
Yes. he is a great communicator, not just during an interview, but also in his written Communications. I was reading his book and could not just put it down (just like this interview, where I could not stop watching, even though I had other things to do)
My observation of so many people with type 2 diabetes is they are taking medication, but they don't change their diet. They continue to eat processed foods (which are loaded with not only sugar, but salt & fats as well) drink sugary drinks & eat tons of carbs (bread, pasta, white rice, etc.). They can't understand why they don't lose weight & why their A1C results are still on the high side. 🙄 Is it truly any wonder that patients with type 2 diabetes are often over weight or even obese, have high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, degeneration of their joints & spinal discs, get frequent infections, have systemic inflammation, skin problems, etc? We are what we eat. 😐
I know quite a few diabetics where this is true, however, you cannot use the same paint brush to cover all diabetics. I am suddenly diabetic (after being a vegetarian for 20 years). There are other factors beyond just food. I very rarely drink soda and alcohol, still eat my 30+ veg a week, haven't smoked anything in years and I remain a diabetic with a well controlled autoimmune thyroiditis. And FYI, I poop daily and am neither constipated or diarrhea.
They are driven by hunger because they have high insulin levels hence the diabetes and we are addicted to carbs due to Big Food that adds it to everything .
As a type 2 diabete , not over weight don’t drink or smoke don’t judge unless you have the facts to back up what you say, a bit like saying every person with cancer smoked.
I am a new subscriber just because of this particular episode. As a person who (finally at 48) successfully manages severe bipolar, PTSD, coupled with ADHD, I am always investigating the latest science and research around how mood is influenced by the gut. As a mental health advocate in Canada, I teach (on a volunteer basis as I am retired) patients how to rewire their trauma brain by certain action steps. I truly believe that patients with mood disorders need to take responsibility for their health by recording daily what is happening to them. Learning from this doctor (for example) that serotonin is manufactured in the gut is incredible! Those of us that suffer from mood disorders can become their own researchers and then take actual data specific to their own lives in order to have empowered conversations with their family physicians, psychiatrists, and GP. This was the best investment of time in 2024 I am certain I will make all year. Thank you!
And the contents of this video was superb! The guest speaker worth subscribing to! The interviewer… Also superb! But the begging for subscriptions ruins it all for me. Just do what you love and those who wish to subscribe Will.
One of the most important and educational episodes so far. THANK YOU ❤ My grandmother died from intestinal cancer, and I confirm here that even many medical doctors underestimate the power of gut health.
I no longer question it now that I'm having the problem. Massive bloat & maIabsorption & now I notice that gluten is a new issue for me in my mid 50s. I cut most of it out & was taking tributyrate at night along with B1 vitamins & it's getting better but a SLOW process, this will take time
@maddworld3317 fasting is amazing ..i think I got this after covid ...the only thing that helps is not fibre or not any of the foods but excercise and fasting intermittently so not eating at night at all only early in the morning and then lunch and then not again so the bloat is gone by bed time ..
@@Padraigp I'd agree except with a malabsorption problem, I'm not getting enough nutrients from the good foods I do eat (& even bigger meals to tide me over so I don't get hungry quickly doesn't work) & I feel starved constantly & extreme lethargy. I go as long as I can without eating but have to grab small little bits here & there sometimes. It's hard to know which way to turn with this
@@maddworld3317 I get you. Same I ended up with nutrient deficiencies and it was a whole tsngle of things like lack of sleep digestive system not working exhausted but also wired and emotional stress and a whole thing. I can only say what helped me and maybe it can help you. I even couldn't absorb the iron tablets I got. I found that I was always hungry tired etc. I am trying to remember the first thing I got untangled. I think I. Went to a Chinese herbal doctor (because they cured two serious illness when I was a kid and my mom ended up bringing me to them because doctors couldn't help) and I had struggled to sort any of it out cos I was sleep deprived. I had ptsd after being attacked so I couldn't sleep I nwould go asleep in a chair with my back against the wall to feel safe. But only sleep a few hours and then id be tired all day.i went for a walk every day no matter what and I did little bursts of running for like 20 seconds probably maybe even less but that helped my stress. I got a juicer and a blnder and I bought lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. I did try vegetarian but that didn't go well for me. But the juices of green vegetables was very good I started eating organ meats like liver and also enough salt. I started taking manuka honey with cider vinegar in water before eating to help my stomach not get reflux and I also got a massage from this woman not sure what she was but she massaged my stomach and intestines whcih was painful but amazing afterwards. I only did that once cos it was 120 dollars. But I would try to massage my own tummy at night. Just gently. In case I did it wrong. I got magnesium and first I got vitmin d which helped a lot but gave me a magnesium deficiency cos I didn't know you need both. And I was having serious heart arythmias which disappeared within days of taking magnesium. Magnesium also helped my tummy to move better like speed things up a bit. I got the best vitmin c I could and got prebiotic foods like sour kruat andd yoghurt and made myself have a little spoonful of those with every meal. I used my blnder to make things with nuts and seeds like cashew nut cream and almond spread and that sesame snack ..its like a solid tahini thing. I would snack on apples with cocoa nibs and honey. I didnt have a lot of money for things like avocados and steaks so a lot of what I did was what I could afford. Like cheap organ meat a small bit has more iron than a big steak. Or apples and cabbage cheap and cheerful... local raw honey as well. Ginger tea and something called Nigeria seeds. I think a lot of it was stress and distress of going to doctors for help and getting none. Except offered lexipro and I was like no im not taking that. They thought I was hypchondiact or something. But the fact magnesium sorted my heart fluttering out in days. Ong I gave up doctors at all and just tried different things. The thing that worked best for me was fruit and veg and meat ..vegetarian wasn't good nor was eating keto even possible it just made my tummy hurt and unhappy. One thing I would say to you is to keep a diary. And when you make a change make it for a week on its own. Sometimes I would change three things at a time and then fele bad and then not know whcih thing had caused it and had to do a lot of juggling which if I had only changed one thing that week it would have been easier to know what was causing what. It took me about six years to figure it out as some much was broken and deficient and a lot of things didn't work for me. So I think everyone is different. But if you get help your sleep that will help your brain to be able to change other things more easily. And take care of your heart and soul as well because so much can be the literal crap we have been through not just the crap in our bodies but the crap we have from life that needs to be cleared out and shaken out of the body and kinda have our souls and hearts cleansed more than the clon if that makes sense. ❤️ God bless you with success on your journey to increasing wellness.
@@stacyjaye6350this has been debunked. Your body needs cholesterol. Do more research. Carnivore being an illumination diet has helped many people heal many symptoms.
The way he explains everything makes him easy to listen to. As a type 2 I wish it were reversible. I tried everything. Was originally diagnosed as hyperglycemic at age 21 while in the Navy. Now 70. What a journey!!!
Loved this podcast. In Korean culture, the poop is traditionally considered like an asset and the concept of poop is discussed very openly, clinically, and without being considered gross. It’s a matter of fact and reflection of our health “wealth”. For example, if someone dreams of poop, this is considered very auspicious and lucky!
I loved his book, it was fascinating to read and it’s a book I go back to and buy as a gift for others. I have been plant based for years, and dislike this new “health movement” of so many plant based products that are processed and definitely nowhere near healthy. I’m European living in NYC and see so many new plant based products that are not nutritional real food, it annoys me so much. Just because someone is vegan does not mean they are eating healthy.
I knew a college student that was vegan- he consumed only French fries, ketchup, and beer I follow Dr. Greger and what you're saying is why he is very clear to promote a whole foods plant-based diet, not vegan or vegetarian diet
Rice and beans, or lentils, and cooked with love at home. That's my idea of plant based. Flavorful. A mixed salad. Or split pea soup with potatos and sliced carrots, onions and garlic. A couple of sliced hot peppers. 😋❤
The issue isn't the diet, per se, it's the education that surrounds it. A vegan diet can be just as healthy as any lacto-ovo diet, as long as it's carefully planned and well executed. So many vegans lack the education and planning ability; they think cutting out animal products is all they need to do to be healthy. Not so.
Yes so true, and then vegans who rely heavily on the processed vegan products go back to eating animals because they think it was the overall idea of being vegan that caused them to “fail” but really it was their choices and lack of fiber and real whole foods that caused them to revert back to another unhealthy way of eating/ living. And then they wonder why going back to eating animal products doesn’t cure their health issues 🙄
This man is the coolest and most informative Dr. I have ever encountered. Imagine that, a Dr. who wants to help their patients prevent diseases and not just keep them on a never ending hamster wheel of drugs and covering up the problem. I just learned so much in these two hours. He just got me so pumped about fiber. Thank you so much for this ❤.
He sounds like a naturopathic doctor... I'm impressed! He understands that it's all connected and we need to get back to basics with our food intake. Smart man. I'm glad he's spreading the word 😊
This conversation from Dr. Will has changed how I view food and nutrition. Now I have a great idea for an experiment to help me deal with my chronic inflammation.
One of the best speakers Ive seen on this channel in a long time, he is clearly an expert on the topic and shares a great depth of knowledge. So glad I’ve watched this, well done guys.
I love Dr Will’s enthusiasm for his subject! He’s a compelling speaker and a good teacher. Your questions made for a nice flowing educational conversation. Thanks.
I love this! Been dealing with gut issues and I am BEYOND thankful to be able to get this type of information. I wish healthcare was free for everyone because unfortunately I cannot afford to go to a gut specialist it’s about $200 for me and I just can’t afford it.
A couple of years ago i suffered from a very serious IBS. Doctor told to try eating fermented food so i started to make my own kefir, sauerkraut and i ordered some natural kimchi. I was having a lot of stress from work and because of heavy working hours i was eating very unhealthy. I started the diet and i had some kefir in the afternoon and some sauerkrout in the evening. Halfway through the night, i woke up my body was shaking. I ran to the ER and they gave me a shot of antihistamines and told me i had an anaphylactic shock. I was tempted to quit all amd give up. But i kept taking fermented food and fermented drinks in very small quantities and increase the dose every week. After 2 years the IBS is fully gone and i must say that i ve never felt more positive and energetic in my life.
@alexlabra1562 If it hurts really bad, you must go see a doctor. If it hurts bad enough to make you think that you should go to the ER, then i think you should go. My IBS symptoms were bloating, constipation, very thin and long stools, passing a lot of air through my bowels and farts smelling quite bad. I learned to recognise IBS farts actually cause they really smell like something was fermented "wrong".
Yes trauma caused me to have a mini stroke in my 50’s had a very hard life from child abuse sexual abuse at age 4yrs old and controlling relationships & marriage Had counselling and live on my own and can finally talk about has helped me. Please believe stress kills l never took notice of this as l didn’t know any different. Now l know and l can finally have a better life as and l understand all about control and won’t take that life anymore
So glad you are in a good place & better position. Very interesting to hear your experience and that stress has affected your health etc. So glad to hear that healing the trauma/s & mind I've trod a similar path. I think the stresses triggered a snowball effect. I thought there was something to be said for feeling better as a whole due to ignoring the traumas and trying to brush aside PTSD was a very bad thing to do to myself. Today I've also improved its nice to know I'm not alone. Good luck with your life and my best wishes for you and your family ✌🏽🙏🏽🍀
Yes…so sorry. I’m in my 60s and childhood affecting me now more than ever health wise without the youthful energy to compensate. look into ACE scores and CA’s first surgeon general who led the research.
I think menopause contributes to how much more easily stress is triggered in a physical way too, and then those stress hormones wreak havoc even more strongly.
I really appreciate his honesty in acknowledging the need to remove himself from his advice as not all experts are 100% compliant in what they know and teach
I have childhood trauma and had full blown PTSD, but have worked hard to heal and it is amazing what you can do to help yourself. Get help, don't avoid healing just because it seems hard, scary, whatever.
This guy is a very good interviewer. I have listened to different interviews where the interviewer asks terrible questions or talks way too much, but this was very nice to listen to!
I remember learning about some of this stuff 20 years ago with a naturopathic doctor. Me and my siblings have had health issues from a young age and our parents didn't know where to turn. Over the years my opinion has gone back and forth between his methods being totally whack to very effective. But as my health issues got better for years then came back after I really slacked off with my lifestyle, focusing on the gut has been the most helpful thing for me. As science advances, my respect for that naturopath continues to increase.
I’m having so many gut issues as a 33 year old male and I’m very attracted to holistic medicine. Everything we need the Earth has readily available . Im just having a hard time putting down some of the things im addicted to like Starbucks coffee and other things that can significantly impact what im trying to do by eating healthy
Same. I had ADHD symptoms, untill i discovered (through accupuncture believe it or not) that i needed a strict died. Couldn't eat gluten, lactose, sugar, colorants, and some more. It was a difficult to follow diet. But it worked, all symptoms disappeared.
@@koreyvalentine4234yep, agreed. Addicted to sugar. Coffee. Milk. Cigarettes. And Kratom…… but at least all of those I consume are organic 🤣🤣💀 no joke. I smoke spirits, bake all my own sweets (literally just pulled fresh cupcakes outta the oven 💀), Bulletproof coffee I feel is superior and “healthier” than all the others so that’s all I consume.. and I was dairyfree for a FKN *DECADE!!* I accidentally ate this full on cheese dip on accident at my dad’s a couple months ago and nothing happened.. I used to get INSANELYYY sick from it. From gluten too. Was diagnosed with severe celiac and gut issues. That same ten years ago is also the last time I’ve gone to a conventional doc 😅😅😅 decided to take my health into my own hands and no joke, I think I cured my celiac 🤯 I’m still afraid to eat gluten.. but almost 100% of what I consume is organically sourced and made or grown from scratch. Soo when I realized I didn’t get sick from cheese/dairy.. I slowly started incorporating it back into my diet and was still feeling completely fine. Now I drink raw/organic milk by the GALLON lmaooo. I’m obsessed and I’ve missed it 🤣 definitely missed all the healthy fats too. I feel like they’ve been doing my body so well. My advice to you is don’t fully give up your vices if you don’t want to!! Just change to a healthier source ♥️ fk Starbucks.. they use sooo many disgustingly sourced oils and chemicals 🤢 they’re disgusting. Terrible company with horrible ingredients. Make your own coffee and get/make some healthier creamers and sweaters. Or at the very least.. locals stuff that you KNOW comes from a good source. It’s done wonderssss for my health and I didn’t have to give up anything 🥰 I feel like being diagnosed with celiac was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I’m beyond happy. Content. Zero anxiety. Depression. Brain fog. Sleep issues. Caca troubles lololol it’s ALL gone. The one and only thing I wanna quit now is Kratom. I used it for pain and now I’m just full blown addicted 🥲🤣
It really is true that gut health is the be all and end all of our health. It impacts mental health, as so many many other health issues. Most people aren’t aware of the link between mental health and good gut health and bacteria. In my experience, even taking probiotics etc help with my emotional health.
I've followed Dr B for a good few years now and I never get tired of listening to him talk about all things gut health, this was every bit as good if not better than any podcast I've listened to. Because of the questions asked and the simplicity in which Dr B answered the questions. I also really hope the launch of the new Tera38 hits the UK. Thanks to all involved in this excellent podcast.
An absolutely wonderful and encouraging podcast! In today’s world, health topics have become completely confusing and sometimes even discouraging. This podcast made the steps we all can take so simple and doable for everyone who wants to have better overall health.
Absolutely fascinating and very important conversation. Since my husband and I went mostly plant based and removed ultra processed foods from our diets, we have never felt (or looked) so healthy. Much of our understanding is thanks to the scientists Steven has interviewed.
It's amazing how many doctors are ignorant of the gut microbiome and its importance. They continue prescribing drugs which bugger it up too. This is a great episode for highlighting the importance of a healthy microbiome. Mine's been messed up since Covid last year.,
My gut was messed up by covid too and this has affected my brain just like he explained. I want to work on my gut this year, it really is the base of good health.
This also happened to me after Covid..I also developed Pernicious Anemia which is connected to malabsorption of the small intestine..brain fog and nerve issues. Definitely "brain gut connection"
This discussion is amazing! Thank you very much for putting into the table for a debate. There are lots of points to pay attention to, but I think one of the problem is that in general we wait until someone else solve their problems (with pills) and doesn't want to pot enough effort to change it for ourselves. The basis of the Chinese Medicine is based on self-care (self-responsability) and change the habits and diet to improve the health and prevent the disease. Maybe, we still have a lot to learn.
I grew up in a farm, we didn’t have money to buy junk food, but I had a variety of vegetables, tropical fruits, organic chicken, raw cow milk, cheese,eggs, fresh organic meat. Boy o was rich and didn’t even knew it. I migrated to US 35 years ago, because of the diet and lifestyle stress I ended up with reflux. Fortunately I am going back to my ancestors diet, I am feeling much better already. Thank you for putting out this episode, I really enjoyed it.
Allopathic medicine is at least 15 years behind the functional medicine (FM). FM talked about microbiome, fermenting foods, gut- brain connection 2 decades ago. Dr. Natasha Campbell discovered gut- brain connections and wrote a book, created a diet two decades or more ago. I am glad allopathic doctors are FINALLY getting it and speaking about it.
Very frustrating how far behind they are yet how egotystical and sure of themselves they are while they give advice and procedures that damage your health. I too am glad they are FINALLY catching up. But it's not their fault, it's the big pharma financing the med school curriculum. The egotistical nature and not listening to or believing the patient, however, IS their fault.
I've never had what I would say "good gut health" After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I have turned my life around 180°. No processed sugars (well, up until Christmas anyway!) Eating as healthily as my budget would allow. Taking supplements the last 2 months & have now started taking probiotics to help regenerate the lost good bacteria that I've lost through eating a junk food diet for too many years. I'm not medicated for my diabetes but by cutting out 90% of processed foods & carbs, I have lost 35lbs & I'm now classed as non diabetic". It's taken 5 months of hard work but I'm eating cleaner than before & it's made a huge difference to my mental wellbeing too.
Your experience is almost identical to mine. It took me a little longer than 5 Mo's. But I'm so much better health wise. And happier. I was on Ozempic for about 3 Mo's but didn't want to be on a lifetime drug so quit and changed bad habits. Lost 30+ and A1 c is normal now.
You’re my inspiration. Thanks for sharing. In Asia everything is carb based. I’m on meds Janumet and dapagliflozin to control my HBA1C at 10.5% diagnosed 7 months ago. I got it down to 7% after 2 months with changing eating order fiber-protein-carbs and taking 10 mins walk after a meal. It’s challenging to cut carbs out completely but I managed to eat 70% less white rice or vermicelli. Now I need to work on my guts health.
This is such a fascinating episode. I’ve read a bit about gut health from nutritionists’ perspectives, but hearing a specialist break it down in a way I can fully get is really interesting.
I’m so glad my dad was old school doctor. If we weren’t feeling well, he’d ask about our poop. Same with my mom. Always curious so I’ve always assessed my poop, especially when making dietary changes. This was a very informative interview per usual!
The Diary of a CEO is so elite! Thank you Steven for continually blessing the people with your impeccable interview process. Your guest never cease to amaze me with the overwhelming amounts of knowledge and expertise. Thoroughly impressed. Thank you Dr. Will!
I've been eating only animals, eggs and fruit for 4 years. I have my bloodwork done every 6 months. I've never felt healthier in my life and my blood work is excellent. My energy levels are fantastic and my mood is stable !
I personally eat dates,banana, apples, melon, oranges and butternut squash. I get around 150g carbs from that a day. sometimes more or less depending on my lifting routines.@@tootstoyou1
I watched this for the second time today. This episode is fascinating and makes perfect sense. I also joined Zoe this morning. I have been plant-based for about 10 years. I absolutely noticed a huge change in the first 24 hours. The inflammation left my entire body. I got off cholesterol meds, stopped wearing a knee and hip brace to get me through the workday, and at 53y/o, had the energy of a teenager. I am open to adding to my diet if Zoe recommends. We shall see what happens! I am looking forward to this journey. Thanks for the video!!!!!
Love this guest. It's like back in the old days when DOAC was AAAAmazing. Delivering incredible value, not oversimplifying solutions because human health is indeed complex and multi-dimensional. The nuance, the passion to show the whole picture clearly, the quickness to de-simplify and add another piece of the puzzle to the topic at hand (when everyone has this tendency to oversimplify things) shows not only the depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise, but also the character and integrity of a person who has the dream and ability to help lift up the health of his patients and the generations to come. Bravo! This is easily the best guest and the best episode for the past year.
So nice to hear a REAL doctor share his love for the human and science and healing!!! This man taught me a lot in this one video and Im pretty educated medically. I hope he represents a trend in the medical community. Wouldn’t that be heavenly??? Thank you for this incredible interview Stephen.
Almost 3 decades of gut issues. Went carnivore in May and within a week all bloating, constipation, indigestion, SIBO symptoms… gone. Gallbladder took an extra week .. but I now have zero gallbladder issues even though I’m eating lots of butter and tallow. I only eat grass fed…eat once a day. Never hungry.
This guy says lack of fiber is the cause of autoimmune and you (along with many others) say a complete lack of fiber has cured you. When are these podcast hosts going to host debates instead of single point of view discussions by someone selling a product?
@@marsevarcouldn't agree more. No debates only one side, but with so many opposing experts referring to 'research how come it's so conflicting?! I like Tim Specter but some of what Paul Saladino says too but almost worlds apart in opinion
it's important to remember that everyone is different. what works for one person is not going to work for another. people need to work on finding what works for THEM, not what works for everyone else@@marsevar
Thank you Steven for Bringing Dr. B on your podcast. I finally subscribed as a result. He nailed all the gut issues to the core and i am so appreciative of what you all do to bring the information and education to our doorsteps. I have enjoyed all your podcasts. Thanks so much. I am looking forward to more greater episodes to come
An absolutely fantastic episode. I could listen to Dr Will all day long, So informative, interesting, and knowledgeable. Thought the closing out answer to the happyness question was spot on. What a blessing to have content like this available at no cost. Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! 🙏💙
Everything you do on your show truly gets better and better, you've kept up your word 1000 times over. Absolutely loving this can't believe how much I'm learning. Thank you!! 🎉
My 88 year old mother, died from C-Dif. In 2014. At the time, fecal transplantation was just beginning. Unfortunately, at the time her medical team, didn’t find her a candidate, due to her age, and other health issues. I believe she contacted C-Dif a combination of events, first, having taken antibiotics prior to dental work, and second from the assisted living facility where she lived. I totally believe in supporting my gut biome. Mostly plant based organic diet.
You’re doing the right things. Back then there was less information available and now we know much more about the gut microbiome. I have never heard of dentists prescribing antibiotics before surgery. Where is that, the US? They don’t prescribe them here in Australia. In fact doctors are prescribe them less and less too, due to antibiotic resistance. Keep up the good food and all the best.
@@sugarplumk2381 In the US antibiotics are prescribed before dental work, often as routine, for the very elderly, and for six month after a hip, knee, or other joint replacement. If bacteria filled blood from dental work enters the blood stream, the concern for possible infection rises. Especially, after joint replacement surgery. the artificial joint doesn’t have white blood circulating within it, to naturally protect against an infection.
It’s clear that the quality of our diet has deteriorated with processed foods and lack of knowledge on nutrition/ physiology etc. Back to basics ❕ This is the certainly the way to go ❕ Product ordering- definitely ❕ Thank you … will pass this information to others.
It´s great that more and more people are talking about gut health. I loved the Dr. William Davis MD Gut Health Book and videos. He really explains more about the gut bacteria strains, WHERE the problem originates, and HOW to actually help yourself.
It’s all connected to the food and bowel movements. I’m so glad he talked about ultra processed food impacting the body and eating real food until full. GLP1 and fiber are keys to dietary changes, well I learned something new.Ive cleaned up my diet and released 70lbs eating more plant based foods. My gut thanked me after decades of trying to lose weight. My doctor was amazed that I was so heavier overweight but my BP and insulin in check. He said we got to get this weight off you. He didn’t know to say about we got to heal your gut to get this weight off you for healthier living. This video should be included in every medical school curriculum and shown in health classes in middle and high schools. This is valuable information and the understanding of the poop process is priceless, constipation and biles.
Regarding weight loss, I really have changed my mindset on food. I've lost 75 lbs. I don't demonize food on an emotional level anymore. I look at it tactically. "Is this nutrient dense or nutrient void? Will this contribute to my health or take away?" Jesse Inchauspé changed my life with her glucose hacks lol It's not about 'me bad', so much of these food-like-substances are hormone hijacking...no wonder so many people are overweight and sick.
I am enjoying your shows. You let your guess speak, ask pertinent questions, are pleasing to listen & look at. This guest was 👍. Thx for a great show😊.
I love that now we can get a summary of the show highlights! Stephen, there's a reason you are at the top of your game! You over deliver and we are so blessed to have you in the world! You are the best! Oh, and this podcast was amazing!! So much info as usual 😊!!
Happy New Year Everyone! If you enjoyed this episode, could you please hit the like button 👍🏾 it helps us massively. Appreciate you all! 🙏🏽
Another great podcast Happy new year 🎉
Great to start the year with you and Mr. B (while having breakfast). Will is a a truly great educator with a very foundational wise philosophy to put that into context. So glad you had him on. Happy new year!
This has been life changing! Thank you, I cannot wait to help empower my microbiome for the better 🥹❤️🔥🤗💫
About the red 💩, one morning I saw a red color in the bowl & was instantly panik'd but I remembered that I had eaten ALOT of beets the day before. The day after this, there was no more redness in the bowl after so I think beets can discolour it- wait a day or later that day & keep checking
Like button hit. Would love to see someone with fibromyalgia information interviewed.
How wonderful would it be if all doctors had the intention to actually help people! It is always nice to find doctors that are willing to listen and understand where people are coming from. Great interview!
👍👍💯💯very well said 👍 👏🏼 👌 🙌 ❤
I think that the doctors are willing, but some ask for astronomical sums just to do some tests. Only a few can afford that. Shame
They will not make as much money as they want so they don’t. The only ones who speak out about it are the doctors who make money outside of being just a doctor, they write books, have other businesses, they do seminars, etc. A lot of doctors are only doctors so if they lose patients they lose money.
So they go thru 12+ years of study, powering through tough internships, incurring debt, stress, and wear and tear on their mind and body to minister to a body that our own sloth, stupidity, ignorance, and self abuse has messed up and you assume that they DON'T want to help people?? What have YOU and the majority of us done to further public health other than reject, whine, and ignore what they have told us. Your attitude needs adjustment.
You actually CAN'T find them!
I haven’t slept for 2 days because of gut health problems, I’m tired, anxious, and depressed. I’m 20 seconds into this video. I’m ready and willing to make a change to transform my life. Let’s see what happens. Update after almost 2 months:
Firstly, I was blown away by the comments and support after my comment. People are generally nice and kind, despite what we're told. I really was in a bad way and needing help before watching this episode, but I've slept a week now for 8 hours and here's what I did.
1) Intermittent fasting. My eating window is between 12pm - 5pm or 1pm - 6pm, so 5 hours a day and I eat what I want. It's hard to start with but definitely worth it.
2) Eat 30+ plants a week (Dr Tim Spector). In fact I do this nearly everyday and the tips in the video really help. Make your nut and seed mix and eat your ferments! I take enzymes to help digest some foods like cabbage.
3) Manage glucose. Wow this is a big one! Watch the episode with the Glucose Goddess Jessie Inchauspé it has changed my life. Eat your greens and fibre first, avoid sugar early (or completely), take breaks between meals, vinegar before meals, exercise after eating.
4) Avoid drinking fluids (except vinegar) 30 mins before eating and 1.5 hours after eating (Barbara O'Neill). You wash away all the acid and bacteria that helps digest your food. This is a game changer for me and it really helps!
5) Avoid alcohol. Sorry folks this is the hardest and most difficult but if you want to sleep well then don't think you can cheat on this one. I still drink but I know the day I do I won't sleep as well and that's the trade off.
6) Last meal 6 - 8 hours before bed (Bryan Johnson). I used to only be able to sleep after eating which I now know was my glucose crashing. Don't put your body to work digesting food and expect to sleep.
7) Exercise. This should probably go at number one. Do it daily, enjoy it. Move, stretch and sweat.
8) Learn / Identify your FODMAP - we all have intolerance and sensitivities specific to us. Learn which foods within FODMAP trigger your issues. Mine is gluten, onion, garlic. I avoid those food categories.
9) Melatonin 1mg just before going to sleep (Bryan Johnson). Possibly a controversial one and might not be for everyone, but it helps me. I put this at 9 because if you don't do 1-8 this is not going to help you, believe me I tried and it can make you worse if you try and use it to cheat sleep!
10) Be kind to yourself. You are not perfect. If you drink or eat late and don't sleep then don't worry about it. Tomorrow is another day and a new chance to be a better you. Life is for living so enjoy it, but remember to be kind to your body and mind so you need to recover and go again.
Love, A.
I've been through years of gut issues, GAPS diet helped me manage, I'm still healing, it may take years but it's worth trying :)
Anthony William.
Actions speak louder than words
All the best. I hope you figure it out.
I do also have that issues. I drink a lot but I’m trying to improve em. I’m going for a full body checkup tomorrow to see if there’s anything severe as I’m always bloated and are having heartburns and indigestions these days. Wish me luck!
I work in construction so have that stereotypical energy drink, fast food diet that pretty much everyone has. I listened to this podcast on Monday, a week ago, and I can honestly say it’s changed my life with immediate impact. My fibre uptake has gone up, I eat far more ‘plants’ each day, and my diet has improved tenfold. I feel more energetic and healthier in every way
I became a poop scientist when I worked in construction years ago. The porta potties were filled with some of the most unhealthy excrements I'd ever seen 😂
I used to eat carbs /fast food, then i switched full on carnivore, I lost 5 stone (around 70lbs) in 5 months, I have so much energy now, I never snack as I dont need to and just eat 1 meal a day. Feeling fantastic and everyone is saying I look 20 years younger
My grandmother has eaten 80% vegetables and lots of fermented foods, and she's an active 85 yr old.
I love this comment.
did construction for 20 years, ate apples bananas and tuna samiches daily, a cup of beans, some peanut butter…
There is an old ayurvedic saying - "If diet is wrong, medicine is of no use; if diet is right, medicine is of no need".
Wow that’s an amazing quote and so true
Put a comma after wrong and right and the quote will make more sense.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing that🕉️🙏🏽
Ayurveda is based on gut health itself
Isn't this Hippocrates?
Five gastroenterologist! Five! Not one asked me what my poop looked like and didn’t care when I told them. Not one asked me what I was eating. Blood tests showing slight pancreatic enzyme increases with severe abdominal pain. Light yellow poo for years and not one cared that my poo was that color. I wished all doctors cared like you do and are describing. Thank you for this episode, Steven. Very insightful.
You're feeling the effects of affirmative action and participation trophies. And its only going to get worse
I'm not a doctor but I don't think it's supposed to be yellow...
Yellow is liver problems, I think. Maybe gall bladder.
You always choose fascinating subjects and very informative and well informed speakers. You're one of the best interviewers ever!
I have just been diagnosed with coeliac disease and have anaemia and yellow poo it is a sign of malabsorption that comes from coeliac, might be worth getting screened.
One of the things that I favor on this channel, is how Steven just lets the guest talk telling a whole story not Interrupting the guest. Thank you.😁
Me too! !!!
So....glad your happy😂
He's an amazing interviewer for that very reason. I love that he's listening and learning just like we are. I love listening to this doctor and I'm so happy to be able to hear to him speak uninterrupted.
me as well! I have lost interest in others because of that!
One of my favourite things is when Steven just lets the guest play round with real poop without interrupting them. Thank you!!
It should also be noted that previous healthier generations ate plenty of saturated fats and red meat, but what they didn’t eat as much of, or at all, is processed foods and sugar. Maybe they ate more fiber, and maybe they lived in a less sanitized world as well.
- 30 different plants per week, legumes, whole grains, start slow with fiber
- consume fermented foods, pre, probiotics are needed to produce postbiotics
- sauerkraut (cabbage, seasalt, water, let it sit for a week)
- kimchi
- apple cider vinegar is fermented too
- pickles (cucumber, salt walter with dill, garlic, no vinegar)
- you should have a bowel movement every day to every second day or so
- stress can manifest in your gut ! people with trauma will be more likely to develop digestive issues, addressing this can be crucial to healing
- vagus nerve is in the gut, talks to your brain
- flax, chia and walnut seeds
- onions, garlic, shallots
- chickpeas, mushrooms, seaweed
Most likely drugs like antibiotics destroys our gut biome.
People reading this who have tremendous pain from eating anything or even drinking water: 🙂🔫
A bowel movement every two days? I thought it was two movements a day.
According to FODMAP I do not tolerate chick peas, I love hummus but it jacks me up…bloated, gassy, constipated I look pregnant. Onion, garlic, watermelon, beer wine. So fermentation jacks me up. I do I get around this?
Avoid it. I have high BP. No fermented foods. High in sodium. Even pickled. Stick to what you can eat. We are not perfect. Create the best gut health for you. 😊
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this episode as much as I did! I’d love if all the doctors were as caring as he is!
Finally! a video with no fake smiling or unnecessary friendliness. Great information, great episode.
Carnivore makes no sense then. There is a conflict here. Carnivore rids of inflammation and plants/veggies are inflammatory. Something is off among the 'experts' !!! Some one is full of BS !
Don’t you just love Stephen. He’s so good at asking the right questions. Just as I’m thinking about the question he actually asks it. Big fan of this podcast. x
That’s such a great compliment!
He also lets the guests speak and has great humour👏
I absolutely agree. Every time I think of a question I would ask, he does it. That's what a great interviewer does. They anticipate the questions that viewers would ask and they ask those questions on our behalf. This is one of Steven's superpowers.
What is the difference between enzymes and gut microbiomes?
Why is that some people lack enzymes to digest beans, peas and milk?
How can one treat bloating/ flatulence?
Carnivore makes no sense then. There is a conflict here. Carnivore rids of inflammation and plants/veggies are inflammatory. Something is off among the 'experts' !!! Some one is full of BS !
This expert is one of my favorites. He is so eloquent, passionate and concise that its quite a rare thing to see even though ive been watching tons of experts talking about their knowledge. 😊
Im a doctor, thank you for highlighting the latest research and ill be passing this on to my patients. You are also an excellent science communicator. Kudos!
I hope you will read his cited research yourself before you regurgitate this stuff to your patients. That’s part of what has gotten western medicine into the mess it’s in now.
do you work in public healthcare? because youre a minority that even watches this content
Carnivore makes no sense then. There is a conflict here. Carnivore rids of inflammation and plants/veggies are inflammatory. Something is off among the 'experts' !!! Some one is full of BS !
Stephen, I've been with you a long time. I'm a 51 year young mother of 2 men. I want you to know, you have changed my life and given me confidence to start my own business. This episode is my favourite of all. I wasn't expecting it. It's completely blown me away.Thanks so much for everything you do. You have no idea how much you have helped me. 🙏♥️
Agree, it’s so mind-blowing
Me too! I'm 50, and I have more hope for the future than ever. I feel that many of these people are speaking to the youth of the world, but we have needed this too as we enter Chapter 2 of our lives!
We are scaling my husband's business, and I'm looking to buy a successful one!
I'm praying for your success!
@@runawaytechgal1467 wish you the best of luck in 2024 my friend. I'm excited for the future for us all. 😊♥️🙏
Good luck all, believe in yourselves. ❤️🙏🏼✌🏼
Amazing! Good luck!
Before you take the advice from someone, pay attention on how that person looks (according to the context obviously). This guy is talking about the gut health and he looks amazing, his skin is perfect, his hair, his energy and mental clarity 🙌 Thank you for share you knowlege
💯👍
3:44
He looked a bit rough on the close up.
This guy looks like a fluffy potato compared to Dr. Anthony Chaffee.
@@ohhappynave totally agree, also look at the discoloration around the eyes, he doesn't look healthy.
22:00 the 30 different "veggies" that contribute to a helpful healthy gut microbiome. It is nuts, seeds, wholegrains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. (the later the more important). Kale is especially good (onions too). The average person only eats 10 - 15. If that.
Halfway through this episode and I must say this interview is my absolute favourite on the channel. So enlightening! I've been on an almost three year journey caring for my gut microbiome (even quit drinking alcohol) so this was so relevant and reaffirming. Love this epiosde!
Heeeey Ants Canada!! Love your channel! Yes, I have to agree with you-this is a GREAT episode!
Absolutely needed!! ❤️I love how doctors are taking a different route and informing us on ways to improve the quality of our lives instead of pushing medication.
👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯
A definite revolution
😢😢😢😢😢😢
I would actually say that good doctors, doctors who are truly invested in their patients who are willing to learn about nutrition and are not in it for the money or just following what their practice demands of them who get kick backs are the great doctors. Nutrition isn’t taught in Med school. Doctors need to learn about it on their own or take separate classes that aren’t required in their schooling. I really appreciate this doctor and those like him.
Love that he addresses how hormones are affected by gut health! So many doctors don’t talk about this. I feel most doctors should all have a minor in gut health and a minor nutrition.
Doctors depending mostly on pills and surgeries is not a bug, it's a feature.
Sadly we are moving into a world where our healthcare will be nothing more than a 'doctor' (not to be confused with the artisan physicians, we see less and less of each passing decade who constantly studied and knew their craft) typing symptoms into a tablet and treating their patient accordingly. In a lot of ways, AI is as big of a threat to the human profession of 'medical doctor' as the self-service checkouts at a store are to those previously human-held jobs. On another note, many stores are removing the self-service checkout due to increases in theft attributed to the process. Just because you CAN do something, doesnt mean that you SHOULD. Its a hopeful example of Nature (human nature) correcting itself. The most moral character will be hard-pressed not to help themselves if they cant earn a living, which is an example of cause and effect.
EDIT: Went to a store that had a cashier, but they didnt touch money. The 'item scanner' (I guess, lol - cashier title seems to be on the way out) pushed your items along then you fed your coupons dollars and change into the conveyor belt's side panel. Electronic counterfeit protection? Employee theft vs. 'Pandemic germ' carrying money?!??
Unfortunately, you cannot expect any support from either the FDA or the AMA. They make entirely too much money keeping you sick and miserable. Your health, or lack thereof, is their stock market.
Why I avoid doctors and see Naturopaths
Wouldn't help them. Most doctors are just operators who apply a complicated protocol. Don't mean to put down their hard work to get there, but even their hands are tied. If they don't follow their procedures, and something happens to the patient, they risk loosing their license. If they follow the procedure to the letter, and their patient dies, nothing wrong with that. Totally wrong incentives.
I love this guy, I have seen him before but what a treat to get 2 hrs of his time!
I have only just discovered this channel and wow - it is like an oasis of sanity in a world of craziness and stress and so much breadth and depth of information across the channel with all your guests.
You have a wonderfully calm and clear interviewing style which is very refreshing also.
I can't thank you and your team enough!
We all know that we 'should' eat better but knowing WHAT and WHY we should eat better is transformative. Amazing interview!
....and WHEN....🌹
the one problem with better food is, that bad food is usually the food that tastes at best, like chocolade, and a lot of calories in general.
This guys so gets guts. The beautiful clear and simple way he pulls medical and classically non medical into a clear narrative ❤
This is hands down one of the very best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Not only is the subject matter so fascinating and relevant… I’ve had a personal discovery and proof to the gut biome and connection to depression… but Dr. Will is very knowledgeable and insightful, and the questions you asked were spot on! Everyone should view this , and I plan to share with my friends and family. Love love love it … thank you for doing this !!❤❤
While it should have been an “and” instead of a b”but” I’d rather give that to mrtwister. Peace bro.
I was just browsing around YT for acne treatment and came across this episode. I cant believe i watched the entire 2 hrs without skipping any parts. Very informative and mind blowing. I have neglected my microbiomes for so long and its time to restore it. Thanks doc!
That had me transfixed. A friend of mine told me she had reversed her genetic insulin resistance through the Zoe project. I didn't have time to research into it and then I found this amazing podcast. I may not have the money or possibility to do it but this podcast has given me more avenues to try, more books to order. Thank you so much, Steve, to you and your team in producing interesting and highly informative discussions that are a pleasure to watch.
This episode was unbelievably informative and fascinating and life changing in so many ways! I woke up early this morning, grabbed my phone to listen to a podcast and randomly chose this one! I’m so glad I did! Laying in bed listening now for almost two hours I’ve now not only planned a super fibre rich breakfast but also a new super fibre rich healthy shopping list I’ll be using each time I hit the supermarket in 2024!! What an outstanding Doctor and speaker. You both bounced off each other so well in this interview. Thank you for starting my day off on a new healthier path! ❤❤
Glad to hear this talk motivated and inspired you so much and that you made changes immediately, but be careful not to go too far too quickly. The doctor mentioned how increasing fiber intake dramatically can cause gut upset and pain because we don't yet have the microbes to process them. Start slow and ramp up. Add a healthy salad with lots of nuts, seeds, and a few kinds of beans to your daily diet - that would be a good start. Eat more nuts as snacks. Add more varieties of fruits and vegetables to your diet as you go. Anyway, good health and prosperity to you!
3Days on, are you sticking to it?
😊
I've been aware of my gut health and leaky gut for 20 years. I started taking probiotics about 20 years ago because I have had so many health problems all of my life. All of my problems related to infections. All over my body. But I believed it was all caused by leaky gut. It was very, very difficult for me to find information and support for many years. All I can say is, FINALLY!
Super interesting. I have been suffering for 15 years .. mostly very thin watery . No Dr has ever found something wrong with my stomach. Watching this is giving me hope.
What a fantastic doctor! I spent a lot of time with a family member going from one gastroenterologist to another only learning they give the same cookie-cutter pharmaceutical answers. He was a wealth of knowledge and shared it so kindly and generously. God Bless him and his family!
This is by far the best podcast I’ve listened too. Blown away by Will’s presented communication on his knowledge! Certainly given me the blueprint to implement new habits into my daily routine which I have started today!
Love listening to your podcast Steven ❤
Yes. he is a great communicator, not just during an interview, but also in his written Communications. I was reading his book and could not just put it down (just like this interview, where I could not stop watching, even though I had other things to do)
This doctor explains things succinctly yet also preempted many potential questions. Excellent. Thanks
My observation of so many people with type 2 diabetes is they are taking medication, but they don't change their diet. They continue to eat processed foods (which are loaded with not only sugar, but salt & fats as well) drink sugary drinks & eat tons of carbs (bread, pasta, white rice, etc.). They can't understand why they don't lose weight & why their A1C results are still on the high side. 🙄
Is it truly any wonder that patients with type 2 diabetes are often over weight or even obese, have high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, degeneration of their joints & spinal discs, get frequent infections, have systemic inflammation, skin problems, etc?
We are what we eat. 😐
I know quite a few diabetics where this is true, however, you cannot use the same paint brush to cover all diabetics. I am suddenly diabetic (after being a vegetarian for 20 years). There are other factors beyond just food. I very rarely drink soda and alcohol, still eat my 30+ veg a week, haven't smoked anything in years and I remain a diabetic with a well controlled autoimmune thyroiditis. And FYI, I poop daily and am neither constipated or diarrhea.
They are driven by hunger because they have high insulin levels hence the diabetes and we are addicted to carbs due to Big Food that adds it to everything .
That touched my spirit. You're absolutely correct❤
As a type 2 diabete , not over weight don’t drink or smoke don’t judge unless you have the facts to back up what you say, a bit like saying every person with cancer smoked.
You are showing your intolerance and ignorance. Shame.
I am a new subscriber just because of this particular episode. As a person who (finally at 48) successfully manages severe bipolar, PTSD, coupled with ADHD, I am always investigating the latest science and research around how mood is influenced by the gut. As a mental health advocate in Canada, I teach (on a volunteer basis as I am retired) patients how to rewire their trauma brain by certain action steps. I truly believe that patients with mood disorders need to take responsibility for their health by recording daily what is happening to them. Learning from this doctor (for example) that serotonin is manufactured in the gut is incredible! Those of us that suffer from mood disorders can become their own researchers and then take actual data specific to their own lives in order to have empowered conversations with their family physicians, psychiatrists, and GP. This was the best investment of time in 2024 I am certain I will make all year. Thank you!
And the contents of this video was superb! The guest speaker worth subscribing to! The interviewer… Also superb! But the begging for subscriptions ruins it all for me. Just do what you love and those who wish to subscribe
Will.
Get the book Brain Energy by Dr. Chris Palmer, it will change your life and how you view food and yourself. The time is now.
But it doesnt stop there . The VAGUS NERVE IS ALSO IMP AS THE GUT is controlled by the Vagus Nerve
Watch Dr Mark Hyman he's also very knowledgeable.
Have you tried carnivore?
One of the most important and educational episodes so far. THANK YOU ❤ My grandmother died from intestinal cancer, and I confirm here that even many medical doctors underestimate the power of gut health.
I no longer question it now that I'm having the problem. Massive bloat & maIabsorption & now I notice that gluten is a new issue for me in my mid 50s. I cut most of it out & was taking tributyrate at night along with B1 vitamins & it's getting better but a SLOW process, this will take time
@maddworld3317 fasting is amazing ..i think I got this after covid ...the only thing that helps is not fibre or not any of the foods but excercise and fasting intermittently so not eating at night at all only early in the morning and then lunch and then not again so the bloat is gone by bed time
..
@@Padraigp I'd agree except with a malabsorption problem, I'm not getting enough nutrients from the good foods I do eat (& even bigger meals to tide me over so I don't get hungry quickly doesn't work) & I feel starved constantly & extreme lethargy. I go as long as I can without eating but have to grab small little bits here & there sometimes. It's hard to know which way to turn with this
@@maddworld3317you will educate yourself of course. Good riddance of what hinders you asap. 🤸♀️
@@maddworld3317 I get you. Same I ended up with nutrient deficiencies and it was a whole tsngle of things like lack of sleep digestive system not working exhausted but also wired and emotional stress and a whole thing. I can only say what helped me and maybe it can help you. I even couldn't absorb the iron tablets I got. I found that I was always hungry tired etc. I am trying to remember the first thing I got untangled. I think I. Went to a Chinese herbal doctor (because they cured two serious illness when I was a kid and my mom ended up bringing me to them because doctors couldn't help) and I had struggled to sort any of it out cos I was sleep deprived. I had ptsd after being attacked so I couldn't sleep I nwould go asleep in a chair with my back against the wall to feel safe. But only sleep a few hours and then id be tired all day.i went for a walk every day no matter what and I did little bursts of running for like 20 seconds probably maybe even less but that helped my stress. I got a juicer and a blnder and I bought lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. I did try vegetarian but that didn't go well for me. But the juices of green vegetables was very good I started eating organ meats like liver and also enough salt. I started taking manuka honey with cider vinegar in water before eating to help my stomach not get reflux and I also got a massage from this woman not sure what she was but she massaged my stomach and intestines whcih was painful but amazing afterwards. I only did that once cos it was 120 dollars. But I would try to massage my own tummy at night. Just gently. In case I did it wrong. I got magnesium and first I got vitmin d which helped a lot but gave me a magnesium deficiency cos I didn't know you need both. And I was having serious heart arythmias which disappeared within days of taking magnesium. Magnesium also helped my tummy to move better like speed things up a bit. I got the best vitmin c I could and got prebiotic foods like sour kruat andd yoghurt and made myself have a little spoonful of those with every meal. I used my blnder to make things with nuts and seeds like cashew nut cream and almond spread and that sesame snack ..its like a solid tahini thing. I would snack on apples with cocoa nibs and honey. I didnt have a lot of money for things like avocados and steaks so a lot of what I did was what I could afford. Like cheap organ meat a small bit has more iron than a big steak. Or apples and cabbage cheap and cheerful... local raw honey as well. Ginger tea and something called Nigeria seeds. I think a lot of it was stress and distress of going to doctors for help and getting none. Except offered lexipro and I was like no im not taking that. They thought I was hypchondiact or something. But the fact magnesium sorted my heart fluttering out in days. Ong I gave up doctors at all and just tried different things. The thing that worked best for me was fruit and veg and meat ..vegetarian wasn't good nor was eating keto even possible it just made my tummy hurt and unhappy. One thing I would say to you is to keep a diary. And when you make a change make it for a week on its own. Sometimes I would change three things at a time and then fele bad and then not know whcih thing had caused it and had to do a lot of juggling which if I had only changed one thing that week it would have been easier to know what was causing what. It took me about six years to figure it out as some much was broken and deficient and a lot of things didn't work for me. So I think everyone is different. But if you get help your sleep that will help your brain to be able to change other things more easily. And take care of your heart and soul as well because so much can be the literal crap we have been through not just the crap in our bodies but the crap we have from life that needs to be cleared out and shaken out of the body and kinda have our souls and hearts cleansed more than the clon if that makes sense. ❤️ God bless you with success on your journey to increasing wellness.
Can we have an episode where doctors studying different diets have a discussion about their studies? Vegan vs keto vs carnivore kinda thing
They're too busy making dirty money.
Thank FDA
One thing I know is true. Carnivore shoots your cholesterol up. High cholesterol is the greatest indicator of a stroke or heart attack.
@@stacyjaye6350this has been debunked. Your body needs cholesterol. Do more research. Carnivore being an illumination diet has helped many people heal many symptoms.
Look up Dr Michael Mosley, he spoke a lot of sense.
The way he explains everything makes him easy to listen to. As a type 2 I wish it were reversible. I tried everything. Was originally diagnosed as hyperglycemic at age 21 while in the Navy. Now 70. What a journey!!!
Type 2 is reversible according to Dr Jason Fung and others. Type 1 isn't reversible. Check him out. Good luck!
Loved this podcast. In Korean culture, the poop is traditionally considered like an asset and the concept of poop is discussed very openly, clinically, and without being considered gross. It’s a matter of fact and reflection of our health “wealth”. For example, if someone dreams of poop, this is considered very auspicious and lucky!
In South Asian cultures, there's no shame in discussing poop. It's a health indicator
That explains all those Asian scat play videos out there! 😂
That’s probably why my korean bf doesn’t mind talking about it 🤣
Korean American here, this is news to me lol
That explains the weirdness of anime.
Love Dr. B. I lowered my cholesterol and lost 27 lbs, gaining health by following his advice.
I loved his book, it was fascinating to read and it’s a book I go back to and buy as a gift for others. I have been plant based for years, and dislike this new “health movement” of so many plant based products that are processed and definitely nowhere near healthy. I’m European living in NYC and see so many new plant based products that are not nutritional real food, it annoys me so much. Just because someone is vegan does not mean they are eating healthy.
I knew a college student that was vegan- he consumed only French fries, ketchup, and beer
I follow Dr. Greger and what you're saying is why he is very clear to promote a whole foods plant-based diet, not vegan or vegetarian diet
@@rayzerot hahaha so funny
Rice and beans, or lentils, and cooked with love at home. That's my idea of plant based. Flavorful. A mixed salad.
Or split pea soup with potatos and sliced carrots, onions and garlic. A couple of sliced hot peppers. 😋❤
The issue isn't the diet, per se, it's the education that surrounds it. A vegan diet can be just as healthy as any lacto-ovo diet, as long as it's carefully planned and well executed. So many vegans lack the education and planning ability; they think cutting out animal products is all they need to do to be healthy. Not so.
Yes so true, and then vegans who rely heavily on the processed vegan products go back to eating animals because they think it was the overall idea of being vegan that caused them to “fail” but really it was their choices and lack of fiber and real whole foods that caused them to revert back to another unhealthy way of eating/ living. And then they wonder why going back to eating animal products doesn’t cure their health issues 🙄
This man is the coolest and most informative Dr. I have ever encountered. Imagine that, a Dr. who wants to help their patients prevent diseases and not just keep them on a never ending hamster wheel of drugs and covering up the problem. I just learned so much in these two hours. He just got me so pumped about fiber. Thank you so much for this ❤.
This episode just completely explains my husband's total current health issues.Simply amazing thank you for your intelligence.From New Zealand 🇳🇿
He sounds like a naturopathic doctor... I'm impressed! He understands that it's all connected and we need to get back to basics with our food intake. Smart man. I'm glad he's spreading the word 😊
He said he does colonoscopies, so I’m thinking he’s a gastroenterologist.

Everyone should share This... everybody needs to hear this....
This conversation from Dr. Will has changed how I view food and nutrition. Now I have a great idea for an experiment to help me deal with my chronic inflammation.
One of the best speakers Ive seen on this channel in a long time, he is clearly an expert on the topic and shares a great depth of knowledge. So glad I’ve watched this, well done guys.
He is SO impressive. He speaks in a ground level way re high level topics.
This should be imperative viewing for every human being. Thank you so so much for this wisdom, laid out so clearly.
I love Dr Will’s enthusiasm for his subject! He’s a compelling speaker and a good teacher. Your questions made for a nice flowing educational conversation. Thanks.
I love this! Been dealing with gut issues and I am BEYOND thankful to be able to get this type of information. I wish healthcare was free for everyone because unfortunately I cannot afford to go to a gut specialist it’s about $200 for me and I just can’t afford it.
A couple of years ago i suffered from a very serious IBS.
Doctor told to try eating fermented food so i started to make my own kefir, sauerkraut and i ordered some natural kimchi. I was having a lot of stress from work and because of heavy working hours i was eating very unhealthy.
I started the diet and i had some kefir in the afternoon and some sauerkrout in the evening.
Halfway through the night, i woke up my body was shaking. I ran to the ER and they gave me a shot of antihistamines and told me i had an anaphylactic shock.
I was tempted to quit all amd give up.
But i kept taking fermented food and fermented drinks in very small quantities and increase the dose every week.
After 2 years the IBS is fully gone and i must say that i ve never felt more positive and energetic in my life.
Yeah probiotics is definitely something you have to ease into, if u never eat them.
What were ur symptoms of ibs?? My gut is hurting and I don't want to go to er please help 😢
@alexlabra1562 If it hurts really bad, you must go see a doctor. If it hurts bad enough to make you think that you should go to the ER, then i think you should go.
My IBS symptoms were bloating, constipation, very thin and long stools, passing a lot of air through my bowels and farts smelling quite bad. I learned to recognise IBS farts actually cause they really smell like something was fermented "wrong".

Yes trauma caused me to have a mini stroke in my 50’s had a very hard life from child abuse sexual abuse at age 4yrs old and controlling relationships & marriage
Had counselling and live on my own and can finally talk about has helped me. Please believe stress kills l never took notice of this as l didn’t know any different. Now l know and l can finally have a better life as and l understand all about control and won’t take that life anymore
So glad you are in a good place & better position. Very interesting to hear your experience and that stress has affected your health etc. So glad to hear that healing the trauma/s & mind I've trod a similar path. I think the stresses triggered a snowball effect. I thought there was something to be said for feeling better as a whole due to ignoring the traumas and trying to brush aside PTSD was a very bad thing to do to myself. Today I've also improved its nice to know I'm not alone. Good luck with your life and my best wishes for you and your family ✌🏽🙏🏽🍀

Yes…so sorry. I’m in my 60s and childhood affecting me now more than ever health wise without the youthful energy to compensate. look into ACE scores and CA’s first surgeon general who led the research.
Debbie, you keep up the great work! You are a testament that we CAN overcome childhood trauma. Love to You!
I think menopause contributes to how much more easily stress is triggered in a physical way too, and then those stress hormones wreak havoc even more strongly.
Everyone in this world needs to hear this..GENIUS..I wish I had a Doctor like this beautiful intelligent. More than that..I love him
I really appreciate his honesty in acknowledging the need to remove himself from his advice as not all experts are 100% compliant in what they know and teach
I have childhood trauma and had full blown PTSD, but have worked hard to heal and it is amazing what you can do to help yourself. Get help, don't avoid healing just because it seems hard, scary, whatever.
How did you heal yourself?
This guy is a very good interviewer. I have listened to different interviews where the interviewer asks terrible questions or talks way too much, but this was very nice to listen to!
I remember learning about some of this stuff 20 years ago with a naturopathic doctor. Me and my siblings have had health issues from a young age and our parents didn't know where to turn. Over the years my opinion has gone back and forth between his methods being totally whack to very effective. But as my health issues got better for years then came back after I really slacked off with my lifestyle, focusing on the gut has been the most helpful thing for me. As science advances, my respect for that naturopath continues to increase.
Totally! The gut is actually the center of health. So glad you’re back on track
I’m having so many gut issues as a 33 year old male and I’m very attracted to holistic medicine. Everything we need the Earth has readily available . Im just having a hard time putting down some of the things im addicted to like Starbucks coffee and other things that can significantly impact what im trying to do by eating healthy
Same.
I had ADHD symptoms, untill i discovered (through accupuncture believe it or not) that i needed a strict died.
Couldn't eat gluten, lactose, sugar, colorants, and some more.
It was a difficult to follow diet.
But it worked, all symptoms disappeared.
@@koreyvalentine4234yep, agreed. Addicted to sugar. Coffee. Milk. Cigarettes. And Kratom…… but at least all of those I consume are organic 🤣🤣💀 no joke. I smoke spirits, bake all my own sweets (literally just pulled fresh cupcakes outta the oven 💀), Bulletproof coffee I feel is superior and “healthier” than all the others so that’s all I consume.. and I was dairyfree for a FKN *DECADE!!* I accidentally ate this full on cheese dip on accident at my dad’s a couple months ago and nothing happened.. I used to get INSANELYYY sick from it. From gluten too. Was diagnosed with severe celiac and gut issues.
That same ten years ago is also the last time I’ve gone to a conventional doc 😅😅😅 decided to take my health into my own hands and no joke, I think I cured my celiac 🤯 I’m still afraid to eat gluten.. but almost 100% of what I consume is organically sourced and made or grown from scratch.
Soo when I realized I didn’t get sick from cheese/dairy.. I slowly started incorporating it back into my diet and was still feeling completely fine. Now I drink raw/organic milk by the GALLON lmaooo. I’m obsessed and I’ve missed it 🤣 definitely missed all the healthy fats too. I feel like they’ve been doing my body so well.
My advice to you is don’t fully give up your vices if you don’t want to!! Just change to a healthier source ♥️ fk Starbucks.. they use sooo many disgustingly sourced oils and chemicals 🤢 they’re disgusting. Terrible company with horrible ingredients. Make your own coffee and get/make some healthier creamers and sweaters. Or at the very least.. locals stuff that you KNOW comes from a good source. It’s done wonderssss for my health and I didn’t have to give up anything 🥰 I feel like being diagnosed with celiac was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I’m beyond happy. Content. Zero anxiety. Depression. Brain fog. Sleep issues. Caca troubles lololol it’s ALL gone.
The one and only thing I wanna quit now is Kratom. I used it for pain and now I’m just full blown addicted 🥲🤣
Totally agree. Many allopathic doctors failed me with health issues, then I found an amazing naturopath and my health has been ascending ever years.
It really is true that gut health is the be all and end all of our health. It impacts mental health, as so many many other health issues.
Most people aren’t aware of the link between mental health and good gut health and bacteria.
In my experience, even taking probiotics etc help with my emotional health.
I've followed Dr B for a good few years now and I never get tired of listening to him talk about all things gut health, this was every bit as good if not better than any podcast I've listened to. Because of the questions asked and the simplicity in which Dr B answered the questions. I also really hope the launch of the new Tera38 hits the UK.
Thanks to all involved in this excellent podcast.

An absolutely wonderful and encouraging podcast! In today’s world, health topics have become completely confusing and sometimes even discouraging. This podcast made the steps we all can take so simple and doable for everyone who wants to have better overall health.
Absolutely fascinating and very important conversation. Since my husband and I went mostly plant based and removed ultra processed foods from our diets, we have never felt (or looked) so healthy. Much of our understanding is thanks to the scientists Steven has interviewed.

Life changing interview. Everybody on planet earth needs to watch this. It has the ability to transform humanity .
Drink plenty of water, especially one glass of water at night, helps with digestion. Vegetables also help with fiber.
this doctor is a phenomenal speaker-
It's amazing how many doctors are ignorant of the gut microbiome and its importance. They continue prescribing drugs which bugger it up too. This is a great episode for highlighting the importance of a healthy microbiome. Mine's been messed up since Covid last year.,
Like all of them! The joy of a pharma education.
My gut was messed up by covid too and this has affected my brain just like he explained. I want to work on my gut this year, it really is the base of good health.
This also happened to me after Covid..I also developed Pernicious Anemia which is connected to malabsorption of the small intestine..brain fog and nerve issues. Definitely "brain gut connection"
This discussion is amazing! Thank you very much for putting into the table for a debate. There are lots of points to pay attention to, but I think one of the problem is that in general we wait until someone else solve their problems (with pills) and doesn't want to pot enough effort to change it for ourselves. The basis of the Chinese Medicine is based on self-care (self-responsability) and change the habits and diet to improve the health and prevent the disease. Maybe, we still have a lot to learn.
Our future is going to be wonderful because more and more people are researching health and well-being during our limited lifespan on Earth.❤
I grew up in a farm, we didn’t have money to buy junk food, but I had a variety of vegetables, tropical fruits, organic chicken, raw cow milk, cheese,eggs, fresh organic meat. Boy o was rich and didn’t even knew it. I migrated to US 35 years ago, because of the diet and lifestyle stress I ended up with reflux. Fortunately I am going back to my ancestors diet, I am feeling much better already. Thank you for putting out this episode, I really enjoyed it.
Where are you from, did your family have fermented foods, if so what did they ferment? My family is from Puerto Rico
Allopathic medicine is at least 15 years behind the functional medicine (FM).
FM talked about microbiome, fermenting foods, gut- brain connection 2 decades ago. Dr. Natasha Campbell discovered gut- brain connections and wrote a book, created a diet two decades or more ago.
I am glad allopathic doctors are FINALLY getting it and speaking about it.
Very frustrating how far behind they are yet how egotystical and sure of themselves they are while they give advice and procedures that damage your health. I too am glad they are FINALLY catching up. But it's not their fault, it's the big pharma financing the med school curriculum. The egotistical nature and not listening to or believing the patient, however, IS their fault.
What is the book called
Steven, this is edifying at every level - spiritually , nutritional, socially, economical, and psychological...
What a brilliant communicator. One of the finest of an exciting generation of actors in public health.
Wow, what an INCREDIBLY knowledgeable man Dr Will is! Sooooooo interesting. Thanks so much Diary of CEO for making this episode!
I've never had what I would say "good gut health"
After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I have turned my life around 180°.
No processed sugars (well, up until Christmas anyway!) Eating as healthily as my budget would allow.
Taking supplements the last 2 months & have now started taking probiotics to help regenerate the lost good bacteria that I've lost through eating a junk food diet for too many years.
I'm not medicated for my diabetes but by cutting out 90% of processed foods & carbs, I have lost 35lbs & I'm now classed as non diabetic".
It's taken 5 months of hard work but I'm eating cleaner than before & it's made a huge difference to my mental wellbeing too.
Your experience is almost identical to mine. It took me a little longer than 5 Mo's. But I'm so much better health wise. And happier. I was on Ozempic for about 3 Mo's but didn't want to be on a lifetime drug so quit and changed bad habits. Lost 30+ and A1 c is normal now.
You’re my inspiration. Thanks for sharing. In Asia everything is carb based. I’m on meds Janumet and dapagliflozin to control my HBA1C at 10.5% diagnosed 7 months ago. I got it down to 7% after 2 months with changing eating order fiber-protein-carbs and taking 10 mins walk after a meal. It’s challenging to cut carbs out completely but I managed to eat 70% less white rice or vermicelli. Now I need to work on my guts health.
This is such a fascinating episode. I’ve read a bit about gut health from nutritionists’ perspectives, but hearing a specialist break it down in a way I can fully get is really interesting.
I’m so glad my dad was old school doctor. If we weren’t feeling well, he’d ask about our poop. Same with my mom. Always curious so I’ve always assessed my poop, especially when making dietary changes. This was a very informative interview per usual!

I personally eat dates,banana, apples, melon, oranges and butternut squash.
I get around 150g carbs from that a day. sometimes more or less depending on my lifting routines.@@tootstoyou1
Same, way way healthier on carnivore
I watched this for the second time today. This episode is fascinating and makes perfect sense. I also joined Zoe this morning. I have been plant-based for about 10 years. I absolutely noticed a huge change in the first 24 hours. The inflammation left my entire body. I got off cholesterol meds, stopped wearing a knee and hip brace to get me through the workday, and at 53y/o, had the energy of a teenager. I am open to adding to my diet if Zoe recommends. We shall see what happens! I am looking forward to this journey. Thanks for the video!!!!!
Plant based for 10 years and you were on cholesterol meds?
There is zero cholesterol in plant food.
Doesn't that give you pause for thought?
Love this guest. It's like back in the old days when DOAC was AAAAmazing. Delivering incredible value, not oversimplifying solutions because human health is indeed complex and multi-dimensional. The nuance, the passion to show the whole picture clearly, the quickness to de-simplify and add another piece of the puzzle to the topic at hand (when everyone has this tendency to oversimplify things) shows not only the depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise, but also the character and integrity of a person who has the dream and ability to help lift up the health of his patients and the generations to come. Bravo! This is easily the best guest and the best episode for the past year.
So nice to hear a REAL doctor share his love for the human and science and healing!!! This man taught me a lot in this one video and Im pretty educated medically. I hope he represents a trend in the medical community. Wouldn’t that be heavenly??? Thank you for this incredible interview Stephen.
Almost 3 decades of gut issues. Went carnivore in May and within a week all bloating, constipation, indigestion, SIBO symptoms… gone. Gallbladder took an extra week .. but I now have zero gallbladder issues even though I’m eating lots of butter and tallow. I only eat grass fed…eat once a day. Never hungry.

My 88 year old mother, died from C-Dif. In 2014. At the time, fecal transplantation was just beginning. Unfortunately, at the time her medical team, didn’t find her a candidate, due to her age, and other health issues. I believe she contacted C-Dif a combination of events, first, having taken antibiotics prior to dental work, and second from the assisted living facility where she lived.
I totally believe in supporting my gut biome. Mostly plant based organic diet.
I never take antibiotics doctors prescribed before surgery.
Dental yes more risk of infection in your mouth, I think.
You’re doing the right things. Back then there was less information available and now we know much more about the gut microbiome. I have never heard of dentists prescribing antibiotics before surgery. Where is that, the US? They don’t prescribe them here in Australia. In fact doctors are prescribe them less and less too, due to antibiotic resistance.
Keep up the good food and all the best.
Last year got e coli. Hospital blasted me with antibiotics and I got cliff. My life as not be normal since.
@@sugarplumk2381 In the US antibiotics are prescribed before dental work, often as routine, for the very elderly, and for six month after a hip, knee, or other joint replacement. If bacteria filled blood from dental work enters the blood stream, the concern for possible infection rises. Especially, after joint replacement surgery. the artificial joint doesn’t have white blood circulating within it, to naturally protect against an infection.
@@raydavis4446 so sorry to hear that, it’s so tough. I hope you’re now diligently working to rebuild your gut health.
Best interview ever. Seems like the gut microbiome is the key to unlocking literally everything. Thank you
25-30 different plant foods a day. Losing weight finally and feeling great! Thank you for the insightful video.
It’s clear that the quality of our diet has deteriorated with processed foods and lack of knowledge on nutrition/ physiology etc.
Back to basics ❕
This is the certainly the way to go ❕
Product ordering- definitely ❕
Thank you … will pass this information to others.
It´s great that more and more people are talking about gut health. I loved the Dr. William Davis MD Gut Health Book and videos. He really explains more about the gut bacteria strains, WHERE the problem originates, and HOW to actually help yourself.
This is by far the most valuable 2 hours I've ever spent on the internet!!! THANK YOU.❤❤❤
It’s all connected to the food and bowel movements. I’m so glad he talked about ultra processed food impacting the body and eating real food until full. GLP1 and fiber are keys to dietary changes, well I learned something new.Ive cleaned up my diet and released 70lbs eating more plant based foods. My gut thanked me after decades of trying to lose weight. My doctor was amazed that I was so heavier overweight but my BP and insulin in check. He said we got to get this weight off you. He didn’t know to say about we got to heal your gut to get this weight off you for healthier living. This video should be included in every medical school curriculum and shown in health classes in middle and high schools. This is valuable information and the understanding of the poop process is priceless, constipation and biles.
Regarding weight loss, I really have changed my mindset on food. I've lost 75 lbs.
I don't demonize food on an emotional level anymore. I look at it tactically.
"Is this nutrient dense or nutrient void? Will this contribute to my health or take away?"
Jesse Inchauspé changed my life with her glucose hacks lol
It's not about 'me bad', so much of these food-like-substances are hormone hijacking...no wonder so many people are overweight and sick.
This is a great way to think and choose your food. Thank you for sharing this
