Faecal transplants are commonly used in colorectal cancer surgery (ERP), the idea of turning something designed to improve a cancer patient's outcome post-operatively to act as a PED is disgraceful.
Great medical treatment, bringing health to otherwise suffering gut. Strange somebody would consider it doping at all, since you can't enhance already healthy funcioning gut with it. It is closer to organ transplant than blood transfusion or drug intake...
Fecal transplants can also change what foods you crave/eat. So you may no longer enjoy eating something you did prior and start adopting more of the donor’s tastes. This could be good or bad.
Well, as I donated my poo to my wife, she has a better life now. May sound super weird, but: She struggled with allergic reactions from any kind of sugar (fructose, lactose etc.) and had a bad stomach for years. As I had no issues at all and had a great bacteria, the doctor mentioned we could „share“ it. We did, and turned out to be great. Funny thing: She lost some weight since then, and her skin looks much better, also less inflammations. So, it’s proof that it works. If I would consider it doping, no. It’s just a corrective action, to keep a system running properly.
That's really awesome. I have a chronic illness that I take weekly immune suppressant injections for. There has been a lot of research in fecal implants in this area, and I am waiting the day they have a solid solution for me. So glad you have an amazing physician and open mind.
It’s not heard off cause of the stigma. But fecal trans plants happen for all sorts of reasons. Like your wife’s, as well as extreme reactions to chemotherapy can destroy the flora in the gut. So a new batch has to be in there to replenish or infection and malabsorption as well other things I don’t know. I’m not a doctor but I work with them lol. Glad your wife is doing well. Good for you. Oh I donated a kidney to my wife and so far so good. Cheers.
Fully agree. This method starts to be popular and solves a lot of diseases. Don’t forget the root causes of losing microbiot quality : 1 month of junk food leads to 70% of bacteria variety losses. I don’t consider this as doping but re-equilibration…
My wife was part of a fecal matter study at MacMaster University in Ontario, Canada, for patients suffering from Crohn’s or Colitis. The fecal matter was inserted frozen and supplied by a donor with high microbiome. It worked fantastically, and assisted when Remicade wasn’t cutting it. Long storey short, the poopcycle worked.
Perhaps you should focus on the fact that it is a biome rather than the fact that amateurs are using a rather nasty method. The gut bacteria that breeds better digestion should be available to anyone.
What about eating quality, fridge-kept saurkraut, a wide variety of raw fruits & vegetables, and moderating carbs, toward avoiding overcrowding healthy-biome denizens' perches with candida-?
You just need to google it: The story behind the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race trophy for the winning male and female riders begins with its shape. The curve of the trophy symbolises a ‘C’ for Cadel. The ‘C’ is designed using a high-quality road bike rim. The black edge of the rim also represents the winding bitumen of the Great Ocean Road. Adjoining the bike rim, a piece of translucent blue acrylic sheet has been carefully chosen to resemble the colour of the surf along the iconic Victorian coastline, and as the acrylic sheet embraces the rim, the two materials form the distinct representation of a wave.
Why google when we have @easternbrown ! thanks for the explanation, we will make sure that in the future Si and Dan do some proper research! 🧐 Consider them told off, we will make them write Cadel Evans x100 tomorrow! 😂
My mum contracted C.diff while undergoing chemotherapy which really devastated her health. Fecal transplants can help cure that and it really isn't as unpleasant as the name makes it sound. I really hope it doesn't take off as a doping method, but there's nothing shameful or disgusting about having it as a medical treatment.
But they don’t need the medical treatment. People who do, do. People who are using it as a dope don’t. Probiotic stuff like kefir maybe but that’s natural. Taking a turd pill is totally unnecessary.
Hello all. Love your stuff. For the caption competition with the trophy at the Cadel evans road race, here you go: Cadel:" It's a cool trophy, and if you hold it up to your ear, you can hear the ocean."
It's fairly recently been determined that we don't have ten times as many microorganisms as human cells. The last I heard, the numbers were about the same. Which still sounds to me to be quite astonishing.
I'm a triathlete and I made it to the end. I'm not very good at any of the three disciplines, but still manage to podium small races. You are correct, that is why I'm a triathlete.
My father died from c Diff. It came on quickly and antibiotics did not help at all. I was not aware of a fecal transplant at the time of his illness, but recently learned about it. I'm convinced it probably would have saved his life. However, it is hard to wrap your mind around, and just seems extreme. However, I think in time it will become much more common. Life is strange sometimes.
Great podcast, and really great questions! I appreciate those who shared stories about their loved ones living better lives after having a fecal transplant. That was my only intent when I did mine (yes, I'm that Lauren Petersen) - I'd been sick for over 20 years and could barely pedal a bike prior to my transplant. All it did was make me the best version of myself. I still need an e-bike to keep up with my boyfriend. I look forward to sharing my full story at some point soon.
Love The GCN Show is now available as a podcast. I was the 7th subscriber of it on Spotify, listened to this episode and also watched the UA-cam video today. Just a tip from whom listens to lots of other podcasts, maybe the presenters could introduce themselves at the beginning of the episodes for the new audience that might come to learn about GNC via the audio channel.
After this revealing show, MvdP will for sure not expose his precious microbiome at random people‘s houses during the worlds road race. The spies of other teams might get hold of it. 😂
those were some decent hacks this week. speaking of charging to go with that shelf for the garmins. I bought a 10 usb slot charging hub. one electrical plug in the wall and I get to charge all my usb devices in one place. So much more organized looking

@gcn this is exactly what I think I’m going to be investigating for my inflammatory bowel disease. Interesting that I mentioned this very thing to Dan at the cx at crow on Sunday, then to watch this video 48 hrs later!
Funny you mention speed walking at the end of this podcast, I was going to message you guys that about the poc helmet you showed us at the start of this programe. Would make a cool accesory to my one piece full body lycra suit, 😃Bet Dan would look great in his also and shave some time off his pb.😂
The GCN comedy and Science show. Love it!! ❤. And yes I would try the poop shute ramp-up to cure Lyme disease but shitty performance is not something I give a crap about these days. 😉
Prevotella is linked to extremely high intake of carbs and very low fat/protein intake. This has been known for a very very long time due to studies done on cultures around the world. If you switch to a super high low fat vegan diet your P/B ratio aggressively changes and you shred weight and your wkg goes up. Ive seen this over and over the last 20 years Ive been aware about it.
Long-term diet is reported to be associated with gut microbiome composition-those who eat protein and animal fats have predominantly Bacteroides bacteria, while those who consume more carbohydrates, especially fibre, feature Prevotella species.
One note on the World Famous Shootout: There are three versions. The Old-Old Man which is supposed to be a little casual. The Old Man which can be a little crazy at times. Then there's the Original. You'll find Pros, ex-Pros, and Elite cyclists in this one. Bet Ollie was in the last one and got shelled out the back as this one is absolutely crazy. BTW, as a native, I've ridden all three and I'm nowhere near ready for the Original.
A few years ago we saw „The Program“ in cinemas. A few years from now get ready for „The Poogram“. An overambitious rider and his dubious doctor plan a heist to get their hands on the magic stuff of vingo and pogi.
@gcn Alright. I have heard a few times now Simon and Dan have mentioned they have some older 11 speed campagnolo cassettes kicking around. I’m not sure if that is some joke I am not getting or if they really have those …. I am actually very interested in them and would love to get some more information about them 🙂
"Poo Transplants" - Without regard to medical conditions, Dr. Robert Lustig, advocates for a strict, healthy diet as the best means to achieve a healthy biome on an ongoing basis. However, given that endurance athletes may want to eat low roughage diets during hectic competitive schedules, autologous fecal transplants before key races seem theoretically promising,, but of course what depending on whether they work consistently and reliably for a given athlete. Our microbiomes are apparently very complex. My personal conclusion: better to eat a consistently healthy diet to achieve a balanced microbiome than the alternatives....
Could imagine a strategy to 'harvest' during a healthy period to then being used on the same rider when necessary (e.g. in a grand tour that messes up the whole digestive system). Comparable to the autologous blood transfusion. Not sure whether the fecal version of it is possible, worthwhile or should be banned.
The link between cycling and good health has been known for decades. I think it was Michael Pollan who said ... "Ride bikes. Not too much. Mostly gravel."
#captioncompetition The winning trophy is actually a new aero fender flare, which the UCI will allow to be used by the winner in the next edition of the race.
#captioncompetition "Is this trophy supposed to be a wave or a shark's fin?" "I don't know. It's stupid isn't it?" "Yes." "Well done anyway." "Thanks."
Done with horses. Vet soaked the manure of a healthy horse in water to make a “tea”. Then tubed the tea into the stomach of the horse to be treated. This was 20 years ago.
I can't see it being a doping method because it's not like you take a faecal tablet the day before a race and see an improvement. It's much more like having a good diet, or taking magnesium supplements - it might optimise what's already there but you still need to train smart. Would they regulate having a dietician who suggests eating at specific times around training? What about tweaking your salt intake based on sweat tests?
What do you think of performance-enhancing 💩transplants?! 🤔

Well, as I donated my poo to my wife, she has a better life now.
May sound super weird, but:
She struggled with allergic reactions from any kind of sugar (fructose, lactose etc.) and had a bad stomach for years.
As I had no issues at all and had a great bacteria, the doctor mentioned we could „share“ it.
