- Digestive diseases are affecting tens of millions of people everyday. So often gut issues are being misdiagnosed and ineffectively handled due to poor diet, misinformation, and general confusion. In this episode, the Gut Health MD, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (or Dr. B for short) breaks down what is really going on with the microbiome and what we can do to stop damaging it and start supporting it. He drops some shocking facts about microbes and even how your past trauma and unresolved emotional scars can impact the health of your gut.
Dr. Bulsiewicz is well researched and an actively practicing physician that wants to simplify how you can improve your overall health by understanding your unique ecosystem and making better food choices to change your microbiome as early as tomorrow.

QUOTES:
“I think one of the major issues [...] is that we live in a society that is completely devoid of fiber consumption. And fiber is the preferred food of these gut microbes.” [10:03]
“I personally am vegan [...] I'm not teaching the science because I'm vegan. I'm vegan, because the science led me to where I am today.” [11:42]
“with every single dietary choice, we are contributing to the balance that exists within our microbiome.” [18:33]
“our fiber deficiency is causing us to suffer consequences because our gut microbes are not being fed.” [24:56]
“...the microbiome changes in less than 24 hours, whatever dietary choice you make. So literally, the food that you're eating today will have an effect on your microbiome tomorrow.” [37:04]
“If you are suffering from trauma, and abuse history, whether it was physical, sexual, emotional, psychological. If you don't directly address that issue, you will not heal your microbiome. The stress that is driven by that underlying trauma history is an open wound that persists, and it festers until it is addressed.” [41:30]

Which fact about the importance of vegetables surprised you the most?
Also don’t forget to come back Saturday for a special episode where I answer all your questions about bouncing back from failure.
Tom, I have a question for you.... don't you go nuts after interviewing all those different "ideology" doctors contradicting themselves? Keto, vegan, paleo, plant-based, carnivore, eat 6 meals a day diet, intermittent fasting ... all stating different studies... cherry-picking all their stuff?! Who to believe? At the end of the day, we do what's best for us for our lifestyle and preferences.
@@Musika1220 Our understanding of any subject is extremely limited and constantly evolving. We should endeavor to learn and experiment what each expert says and determine what works best for you. Nutrition and ones personal relationship with food is jus that, personal. What may work for many may not be right for another. The basic truths remain the same, eat well, drink water, and get good sleep. The specifics is where you should experiment to discover what you need to feel your best.
20 min per generation - 39 billion microbes - 70% immune defence is in the gut - microbes learn to digest fibre
Tom, love the work you do but maybe a little piece of constructive criticism, it’s really hard to buy one of your sponsors-like thryve when it’s even said here that there is no way to know if those test are accurate @ 26 mins in, you may have a little money to throw away on those test that may or may not be accurate but I’m pinching pennies trying to get out of college debt, pay off the mortgage, get a vehicle that won’t break down and maybe I can use to have some fun outdoors on the weekends
On another note-hopefully less annoying than my last shitty opinion above. I wonder what Dr B would think about epsom salt baths-often called sensory deprivation tank- which have so many other benefits than just sensory deprivation-soaking in magnesium sulfate & allowing the body to take in as much as it needs through the largest organ in the body for digestion, sleep, depression & so many other benefits. I’ve heard medicine can be absorbed through skin. Please tell me if you believe/heard otherwise. Interesting research about the reaction from the skin to the environment triggers some of those epigenetics that are talked about here, the skin organ is so powerful. We have an extremely smart organ controlling internal functions based on the external environment. Just another wonderful thing we don’t give enough credit to in my stupid opinion
I love how Tom truly listens, not thinking of his next questions.
Dr. Will is awesome! So refreshing to see western trained doctors finally adopting gut healing and holistic approaches versus simply drugs and surgeries. We need more doctors like him!💪🏽👍

Love that🖖
Lol. Go back to middle school
His book Fiber Fueled has been a real game-changer for me! I've been focusing on Fiber among all other things for the past couple of months since reading it and my energy level has been amazing. Thank you for a great interview with Dr. B!
Tom is such a good and respectful listener.
I just want to take a moment here to thank and appreciate Tom for taking the time to have these interviews. The entire Health Theory playlist is incredible and provides so much information in a consolidated form for the viewers to ingest and learn from. 🙌
Thank you so much, Tom for inviting this amazing doctor.
Love Dr. B’s insights and so generously sharing his knowledge on the microbiome. I am finally finding a vegan doctor that I can relate to as a vegetarian. Will definitely get his books.
This was excellent to hear. I've been struggling with some gut health issues as well having recently been put on the low FOD map diet. I'm looking forward to trying these principles out so I can reset my system the right way. Thanks so much, Dr. Will and Tom!
Thank you, Thomas and Dr. Bulsiewicz.
Please do make more episodes similar to this conversation Tom. And thank you for another ammmazing one...
Tom, you have to bring several very open minded carnivore diet scientists and plan based scientists together for a discussion. Heck let's a series out of it. And best if you can get them to actually work and research together
Tom is the best, i have been following him since a long time. Thank you for the wisdom Tom
Hi Tom, thanks for bringing Dr. B on your show. He bought and read his book. Awesome info and American doctor! Dr. B is an asset to the world!
Finally!! I never thought I'd see the day that Tom would have Dr B on his show ;) the power of a wide variety of plant-based foods is undeniable, so glad to see Tom finally expanding his Horizons apart from paleo, keto etc
Unbelievable video 🙌 As a holistic business coach, I know how important nutrition is for entrepreneurs to stay consistent, positive and reach high levels of performance. But it sadly goes unnoticed and unused by too many. I'll 100% be sharing this with my audience 👊
Thank you Tom. This was so eye opening. Loved it.
EXCELLENT interview Tom!!! I appreciate the effort that went into producing this free valuable education. The breakdown and side notes are worth mentioning as well since there was so much information to take in. I have been fascinated and interested in learning the correlation between nutrition and ones health for most of my life (40+ years) while living a plant-based lifestyle way before it became popular, and I still learned so much from this interview. Thank you Tom, and thank you to Dr. B for his research and practice. 🙏🏻
@Tom Bilyeu Thank you Tom! I’m curious as to why you suggested the investment?
OMgosh - learning such a lot from this interview. Greatly indebted to you - thank you so much . . .
I got a cold 2-3times every year for my entire life. Almost 3yrs ago I eat yogurt everyday for my microbiome. I have not been sick in 3yrs. Nothing not a cold, nothing. This is just anecdotal but I truly believe having the yogurt cured me from being sick 2 to 3 times a year.
Thank you so much for this really enlightening discussion…Tom your ability to listen and ask really intelligent questions makes me want to listen to all your podcasts… ❤
This interview is phenomenal and so helpful. Thank you so much
Thanks so much for sharing! One of our favorite gut microbiome fun facts is that it can be changed by changing what you eat, and this can happen in just 2 days!
Hi Tom, this interview was great, we have crohns in our family and have switched to the SCD diet, specific carbohydrate diet and this has made a massive difference to our path of healing. We did our research but I hope this can help others out there. Thank you 🙏
Thank you. Great content. I'm keto for 1 year now but I ate beans and rice yesterday. Not a biggy
the ''are vegetables the problem'' section is suuch an eye opener. congrats to both the interviewer and the guest! amazing both!
Thanks for your videos Tom & the Impact Theory team. I realized so many things about my health and I find the information very useful! I always had that feeling that something was wrong with my system and my doctor never had any diagnosis for my symptoms. On another note, your crypto and mindset interviews are amazing too!
excellent video! all the questions answered that I was wondering about too. thank you so much!
If you found this video fascinating, you may also want to know the indicators of a healthy gut! They are: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!
I decided to start eating healthy after watching some of the older interviews, so in the last 40 days I've cut down my sugar intake by 90%. I now seem to have really balanced energy levels through out the day and into the evening. Before I'd usually have high energy during the day and I'd crash after lunch.
Really appreciate these videos. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! I am cutting down my sugar. Glad that I drank cocoa drink without sugar.
@@famnfren Sure. That's awesome, good luck ✌️
another great and helpful interview. Keep it up.
So informative, thank you 🙂
This was such an insightful interview!
If you found this interesting, you may also be interested to know that a survey from 2018 of 71,000 Americans found that 61% had at least 1 bothersome gut issue! The most common gut symptom was acid reflux or GERD, then abdominal pain, then bloating!
*You are what you eat!* 🙏❤️
You are both my favourite. Brilliant info. Great interview. Fantastic thanks
Thankful to have found this video, its been so frustrating to repair my guts after typhoid (and the antibiotics i had to take for that) and now i understand how i was keep eating lots of fiber that right now my body cant digest. Also really interesting to hear about trauma, has always made sense but hearing a dr saying it just restored my lack of faith in modern medicine. Thanks
Best way to start the day, with powerful insights from Impact Theory!
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know a gut microbiome fun fact! Changing what you eat can change your gut microbiome in just 2 days!
This information is great. It should be known for many people living with chronic deseases.
Amazing.... thank you so much!
I’d love to hear a podcast with Dr. Will and Paul Saladino/Carnivore MD titled “Eating Plants and Animals, who should eat what, when, from where and why? ” I think that would be hugely educational for them and the viewers!
Really great interview 🙏💚
By far THE BEST INTERVIEW EVER.
Amazing and Brilliant interview
I don't get to catch up on the other episodes before a new one comes out. A bit frustrated, but I love your videoes. :)
❤️ thank you!!
This was a great interview! Thank you for sharing it! Question though - is their a negative to eating meat PLUS all this fiber? I feel like it's either all or nothing both ways. Can a person be successful eating both? Would love to hear thoughts on that. Thanks!
Amazing information! Thank you Both.
We have been conditioned by the proceed foods corporations to fear whole foods. We have become so comfortable eating these convenient processed foods that we blindly feed it to our children with confidence thinking that it's actually good for them. Its very sad that someone will fear a baked potato yet orders a large fry with their burger combo
Omg you have on the best people to interview 👍👍👍👍 love love love your channel 👏
Love this..."empower" rather than "destroy"!
Great interview, great questions 👍
Really interesting! Thank you!
Did you know that there are some common mistakes people make in trying to fix gut health? They include: adding a probiotic to help with excessive gas and bloating (that's just one piece of the puzzle), eliminating a food for 4 days and expecting it solve the issue (will take at least 2 weeks), and not thinking about root causes!
The episode with the Iceman really changed my life for the better. Thank you for that. ❤️
Dorjee- Are you practicing Wim Hoff's protocol now, specifically 'cold exposure' ?
How is that going, if you don't mind my asking...or are you following only the breathing practices?
Watching Wim Hoff in an interview, he comes across as a nut job, IMO.
But I'm hearing/reading more & more that cold exposure, specifically, is very good for our mitochondria & for longevity.
I re-watched a David Sinclair interview ( I greatly respect SInclair's science-based knowledge on increasing longevity) - I just watched his interview on IT, again - and am more convinced than ever that Cold Exposure is the way to go.
Problem IS, I completely crumble at the thought of a damn cold shower, though.
I'm drrawn to the idea bc I feel it is NECESSARY for good health & longevity, but totally REPELLED by the thought of an effen 🥶 cold shower!
@@barbarafairbanks4578 move to Canada then. Last time I checked they don’t all live to 200.
@@rogerc23 snark
@@barbarafairbanks4578 yeah well maybe two many mornings in -20&30 degree weather to think that cold mornings are some secret to life. But I do believe it builds mental resilience and their is a lot of proof of that
@@barbarafairbanks4578 you shower with hot water as always. Then when you are really warm, shut the hot water and leave only cold water for 30 to 60 seconds. That's your way to start. After you develop more and more resistance, you can do it until 3 minutes. That's all you need. You can even do it only with your feet. Good luck
Great interview! I love your vibe dude ! Sincèrement awesome !!!
Gosh ... what an awesome discussion.... great info... learned so much. ie; thought that FIBER was FIBER ... to learn that each plant has their own unique TYPE [?] of fiber.... that's interesting to contemplate
Thank you so much Tom for sharing this amazing conversation . You guys are the best 🙏❤️!!
Thank you Doctor Will B. for the layman explanation, it convinced me to go more plant for sure
A gut ecosystem! You bet! Barry Commoner's four laws of ecology make sense in that regard as well. 1. Everything goes somewhere. 2. There is no such thing as a free lunch. 3. Nature knows best. 4. Everything is connected.
Thanks for this episode. I am going to share it.
Wow you have reopened my eyes!🥰 I always said why would God make such beautiful fruits and vegetables if we were not so post to eat them.
I have complex trauma from childhood, depression and anxiety. I have struggled with sugar and grain carb addiction, but have it under control now. I eat sauerkraut, kimchi, make my own probiotic water and kombucha. I also make green smoothies alternating with Kale, Cavolo Nero, Collard greens with lemon juice, banana and alkaline water. Based on the information I received here I will now add a prebiotic powder.
Tom's my spirit animal and idol
Thank you for all that you do and the people you attract 😎
Wow very interesting outlook. I learn a lot about microbiome 😮thanks dr Will
Very informative interview because gut health is the ultimate for your wellbeing and everything else
This is awesome.
What fiber supplement the Doctor eating daily ? It will be good to know. Thank you for this wonderful topic !
Great video. ☘️☘️☘️
After taking fiber supplement for six months,, i have seen a huge benefit in my over all health. This was a good confirmation that i am on the right track. Thanks!
Piss off scammer, we’re on to you!
What sort of fibre supplement?
@@MightyIsis Zinobiotic is the name of the supplement with eight forms of Fiber. Hope this helps. :)
Man, Bulsiewicz looks good. Healthy!
Tom can you pls interview Dr Zach Bush
He is amazing re these type of topics
Awesome show, had to make a hard stop at the FMT discussion tho
What prebiotic does the doctor use personally? I wish Tom had asked. I am vegan, and interested in learning more about this specific issue.
Omg! Yesterday, as I watched the Dr. PMutter, which was AMAZING- I was wondering when you’d have a plant based doc on! 🙌🏽 ❤
Dr B. What happens if you no longer have your gallbladder? What does one do or supplement with?
On the topic of gut health and antibiotics, could I get a suggestion on what could be an optimal thing to do to consume to help rebuild after the antibiotics are finished.
Just bought FIBER FUELED and I can’t wait to start reading it but after I finish SUPER HUMAN by Dave Asprey. I love this kind of stuff. ☘️
He has spent tons of money on his body cell injections all kinds of stuff ! Not interested in buying a book from a man that spends that kind of money on his body which most of us in the real world can do.
@@portiasnyder1812
Yes but it’s his body and his priority I guess. Plus we can learn off of him as he says he’s proud to be a guinea pig for us all.
@@Dhspat true enough
What kind of doctor have the potential to live longest ? Gastroenterologist. Why ? They know exactly what to eat and how our gut works . I came to that conclusion when I read the obituary in my city . 104 years old . Eye opening . I love this subject ! Thanks Tom !

I love your show
I have been low-carb for years but this guy is super convincing. I may have to reintroduce some things. Thanks for this interview. My only question would be, what about people who struggle with blood sugar issues? I guess you would just eat more vegetables than fruit.
Hi. I was a low-carb diet for four years! Three years paleo-based eating then a year on a keto diet. I lost a lot of weight and was convinced low-carb was the answer. However, I study sustainability at school and decided I needed to go plant-based for environmental reasons- but was terrified of the effect it would have on my body. I read Dr. Bs book “fiber fueled” then made the switch. I started eating whole grains, legumes, and added more fruit and holyyyyy. I was surprised that my blood sugar levels were fine. I now I have way more energy, better bowels, and I lost weight! I highly recommend his book if you are thinking ab introducing more food to increase your gut flora :)
Interesting indeed!
@@joelyway1375 good to know!
Eat a cucumber with each meal and blood sugar will stabilise
Nutrition doesn't have to complicated/complex... we choose to make it that way. As long as you do not over-consume and eat somewhat balanced, you'll likely be fine
Yup
Nope. It's not always like that. Even if you have the best diet.
Like this athlete who died 48, later it turned out he had a gene and some incompatibility with diet he didn't know about eventually killed him.
Things are not always easy. I'd prefer it like that. But we all need to open. And accept we know so little
@@bzynkapatrycja Things aren't always easy, that is true. But they are simple in the vast majority of cases
What's a good diet to improve:
Patience, intelligence (is that possible?), And focus, and open mindedness, and to keep stress low?
Any and all info is appreciated
Keto
Very interesting 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻💖🌷
In India we have so many vegetables that we eat,and you may not be aware of them.
Thank you Tom and Will Bulsiewicz.
We should consume 30 different kind of vegtables a week. That was great.
Stress KILLS.
Vegan for all the reasons. So grateful for the science that backs up the whole food plant food lifestyle.
Thank you for information but,one thing make me to ask you that how important is staying outsite,like thousands years ago human being started to transform their lives and here I want to mention microbiom?
How important is being outside and eat and breath fresh air?
Is anything related with lungs that we do not know until now?
I know exercise and ..... not tv.and ....
But the nature?
I'm struggling with his need for prebiotic fiber supplements. Especially for an active 40 year old vegan.
Great video!! I had 4 dy of my colon out. So what happened to all my microbes???
Gret content! I would love to see an interview with Eric Edmandes (WildLife) :)
QUESTION: when attempting to get 30 various plant-based foods each week, do you need to eat a whole serving of each particular food?
Also,if you eat a variety of nuts, does each type of nut count as a different plant-based food?
I feel like Dr. Berry would disagree with 90% of what was said here. Anyone who has seen both have any thoughts?
Yes, i want to know the truth please, both things cannot be true.
Drs Berry, Saladino, Cywes, Baker, and other Carnivore doctors mean well, but they are misguided. A Carnivore diet is very extreme, and so is Frutarian by the way. They are doomed to fail eventually. Best to stay with a broader nutrient base that feeds your microbiota. Most dietary population studies show that the healthiest cultures are ones with the most diverse gut biota, not people who eat just one food, which is silly and dangerous.
@@tanyasydney2235 Thing is, you could eat 95% calories from meat and still have diverse gut biota could you not? you just make up the other 5% with diverse plants because how much food do the gut biota need thats what i wonder?
38:04-38:43 Priceless. Love Tom's reactions to unbelievable facts! 😂
I had a dr. Misdiagnosed my gallbladder. Took 90% of my large intestines. Made me sick. Then asked if i had my gallbladder. Removed it. Its hard to eat veggies, i love them... where do i start
Please tell about the recomended diet from Dr Will. What i learned here is diversity plant based and fiber rich food. But what about the macros composition. Or does it even matter ? Thanks
I always think that things that I eat affect my mood, surprised that it's true.
Absolutely! And on the flip side, things that you don't get enough of can also influence your mood! For example, Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause depression! Luckily, nutrition can help! Animal products are a good source of B12, but if you don't eat those, good vegan sources include nutritional yeast and mushrooms!
Love your questions Tom.
What fiber supplement does Dr B recommend? Sorry if I just missed it.
Same question
I've heard him mention in other interviews that he uses acacia fibre in his coffee
I have always been a health conscious person, my diet had always been free from sugar, processed foods, totally natural, very high in fresh vegetables and fruits. I don't suffer from digestive problems, but my health was still poor. Until I changed my diet to 90% animal , very high in saturated fat in the form of butter, eggs, meat fat then most of my health issues are improved if not gone, my lab results are great: CRP is 0.2, triglyceride is 35, HDL is 140, I put on more muscle . I don't believe in a high fiber diet. My poop is better on those days that my plant intake is low or none.
@Leaf Tech IDIOT Meat is the way to go a lot of plant is Chemicals
Well just wait a few years and then see if carnivore still works for you. it worked for me for a while too, and then things went downhill. I'm back on a plant based diet now and thriving.
I thought the part about needing to heal trauma to fix your gut issues was interesting. Does anyone know if he covers this in his book?
He has said that it is not covered in the book. He mentioned it in the Rich Roll podcast that he didn't have enough pages... smells like another book to me!
@@AngelDGomez-vz2vz Thanks so much!
