Not only does our digestive system contain vast amounts of neurons, but it's proving to have types of memory, including metabolic and epigenetic. The implication is that it may not always be as simple as specific changes to our behavior and diet results in specific changes to physical and mental health. [There are some initial at-home microbiome tests that Might be of some value to some people. However, when it comes to physical and mental health, few people start by getting and understanding comprehensive blood test results and trends. Results, such as Inflammation Markers, Immune Markers and Nutrient Levels, reveal how our microbiomes are effecting on our physical and mental health in many ways. This gives us important information on how we can nuture and control our microbiomes. ]

I have consumed homemade milk kefir for over ten years, which I'm fairly certain strengthened my gut microbiome, protected me against viral and bacterial infections, and improved my mental clarity. Milk kefir microbes are known to colonize the intestinal tract in ways that yogurt microbes don't.
That's still an ongoing field of study, this being one branch of such study and well, a whole lot premature in some assessments. Especially given that our microbiome in the gut literally changes with our diets, stress, time of day, hydration levels and more.

It's interesting that mice who developed social anxiety from our gut bacteria weren't able to recover, but humans CAN. I used to have really bad social anxiety and a fear of rejection and abandonment that made it hard for me to connect with them. I was able to overcome it via psychotherapy and teachings of eastern philosophies. I feel that this mice study just reaffirms how different and special humans are compared to other animals. The destiny of the mice to be socially fearful because of the fear-inducing bacteria was set in stone. But for us, we still have ability to overcome that social anxiety. I don't know what it is, but the fact that we have the ability to overcome something that has complete control over other animals like mice is almost unbelievable. it's like we can just say "nah, not today" to our biology. It makes me hopeful that we can overcome our physical circumstances, it makes me feel awestruck at the fact that humans even have such an amazing ability, and it makes me wonder about how exactly we even have this ability in the first place. There's something very very different about humans. we're animals like all the other creatures on earth, but there's something about us that separates us.
The part with the mice developing permanent anxiety in the aftermath of bacteria transplant was kind of mind-blowing to me. Our conscious ability to transcend our own biology in some areas is astounding. I also suffer from social anxiety to the point that it's debillitatingly damaging to my soul. I just started with a psychotherapist and have been engaging in a lot of exposure therapy but find myself unable to find out who it is I actually am underneath my shell of trauma/ masks I wear when socializing. If I may ask, what eastern philosophies specifically touched you in ways that addressed these fears for you?
We also have longer lifespans, and also can logically think and do the oposit our brains (the fear) tells us to do (like practice to meet ppl), maybe that also can be a difference. So interesting subject! Glad you becoame well! Im struggeling to/on my way to recover from GAD/health related anxiety right now. 🙂
We are Gods in human form . “ I am what I am” , what we say and believe about ourselves , the body will accept it as so . Every cell in our body responds to what we think and believe . Believe you are healthy and you will be!
Social anxiety is not all about gut. I have a gut instinct that our gut is unconsciously controlled by amygdala, so if we can rewire amygdala, the gut biome will change accordingly. The study only changed the gut bacteria, it would be interesting if they performed an amygdala extraction on the mice whose anxiety persisted after biome replacement.
We do FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplantation) and Artificial Seeding (at planned c-section) for quite a while in the NHS England, but the more interesting is that there is a forgotten Islamic tradition of ''seeding'' the newborn with saliva from well-reputed smart, and righteous person who needs to chew a date, spit it and this is placed on the buccal mucosa of the newborn by their parents.
I did immediately wonder if "bird feeding" (masticating food and then giving it to the child) infants moving off milk would have added intended bacteria that we no longer introduce to infants. Though how much gut bacteria overlap is there with saliva?
There are so many layers of consciousness. The idea of ‘us’ is just a construct of many many nested conscious sub-systems, whether we or they are aware of it or not. Michael Levin’s work brings even more complexities.
Having worked with classical Autistic kids in the past and having a disabled classical autistic son , I have observed that chronic diarrhea is very common in this group , in my son's case cutting gluten from his food stopped his withdrawal into catatonia, but the damage was already done
I have an autistic cousin and his problems probably started around birth when doctors found out that his intestines weren't properly developed/partly dead. So I can definitely believe there's some correlation. Maybe the bacteria don't control our brains but at least they feed it.
The serious scientific research on autism never found a direct connection with gut microbiome and autism, just correlations that aren't causations. Stopping gluten benefits anyone, not just autistic jids. The diarrhea comes from picky eating + anxiety. Anxiety comes from being OVERWHELMED due to environment trying to make them talk, look at the eyes, ABA therapy, etc. When autistic kids are treated with dignity and keeping them safe from noises, lights and unwanted interactions, they do great, while still disabled but they live just fine.
@@VeronicaGorositoMusic Nice assumptions about picky eating and anxiety , are you talking from experience ?? or from some conviction ?? My son was never a picky eater and was not involved in any therapy when all went wrong , he had intestinal problems from the moment he started eating solid food , and started withdrawing at two ..
@@abushams3336I suppose she means clinical trial research on altering the microbiome of autistics. I doubt every case has the same set of causes though.
When I had a stomach infection and outbreak of one type of bacteria, my moods were also different as well as a breakout in hives on the skine in diffent places each day.
I'll get skin eruptions when my Crohn's flares, so there is a relationship that's known with intestinal inflammatory processes and other inflammatory processes. As the microbiome is fairly well regulated by our immune system, well, to a fair extent, they're both in a loop control and well, way too many moving parts, it'll never work. ;)
I had to get hit with a nuclear amount of antibiotics in hospital. I figured it was a good time to fix my diet, rebuild a better microbiome. Helped significantly with my mental health. Eating healthy ftw
As a kid I didn't like carbohydrates and sugar. Now in my 60's I have been diagnosed with a epilepsy that does best on a keto diet. Even as a child my body knew what was best for me.
Well, there is obvious a lot of treatments for people and not for rats, but is a very important study that can change life of people with this condition in the future
They apparently never reversed changing the microbiome, plus we actually still don't have a consensus on what's normal in humans, so we've got an uncertain origin platform for assessing source samples and an uncertain conclusion, as is the effect still ongoing absent that microbiome in mice whose guts are returned to a sterile state? Is there then a change if those same mice then receive a stool transplant from their "normal gut microbiome" peers?
Every cell in our body is capable of independent reaction to stimuli, therefore there is a degree of conciseness. They all work in concert with one another to form our bodies. Your body is an entire biome and you, are the leader. So, it would make sense that, instead of thinking of your body like a car, it would be more appropriate to think of it as a horse that you feed, take care of, bond with, form a relationship with and be kind and forgiving to.
Strangely I started doing this almost 3 years ago. My physical and mental health have completely changed for the better. I'm starting to believe they are even part of our thoughts.
Dr Berg & Dr Davis have been preaching this for a long time Specially about L Ruteri I started to take a supplement and feeding that bacteria with fermented foods & I feel much more positive
I hate to be a wet blanket, but I think that a little more caution is warranted when interpreting these studies. In particular, we should always remind ourselves that correlation does not equal causation. This could certainly apply to the autism research, as gastrointestinal issues are very common in autism. It wouldn't be surprising if some of the genetic variants that contribute to autism could also cause GI changes that lead to microbiome differences. Furthermore, people with autism may eat differently due to their GI problems. Behavior differences could come into play regarding the social anxiety study. It's plausible that people with social anxiety could eat differently compared to the average person. For example, they may eat out less due to the anxiety of going to a restaurant. Some might even eat more junk food as a coping mechanism for their anxiety. Given the strong link between diet and the microbiome, both of those situations could account for the differences seen in the study. I can't fault Anton too much here because the microbiome researchers themselves have a tendency to overhype their research.
Autism research is so touchy that even the study cited for determining it is a genetic condition was never conducted, because autism activists thought it was offensive. Yet somehow the gene hypothesis is held as a holy Grail to shut down any further contemplation. Not meaning to bicker with you just airing out a grievance. I can't ever talk about science surrounding autism without being told it can't be prevented or caused, because it's purely genetic.
The claimed results effects in the ASD stool transplant to mice could've been slightly improved, as there seems to be no mention of actually making the mice guts a sterile environment and testing them, then transplanting the "normal" mice stools to give them the "normal" group's microbiome and see if that changes their behavior. As for difference in microbiome, we're still studying to figure out whatinhell normal is supposed to be in humans, so they started out on a flawed platform. Our microbiome changes based on many factors we have learned about and apparently, there are more factors that are being still examined. Stress, literally time of day, foods eaten, hydration levels, electrolyte levels in the bowel and blood, rest and fatigue and more. Add in if there are any genetic components to a human with one of the spectrum of ASD varieties, one gene activated that'd normally be suppressed as one example, that could also influence immune function or other gut axis systems and influence the microbiome in the gut.
In one of the experiments, when the healthy rats were treated with bacteria from the asocial "feces", the rats became "mentally" sick ... and never recovered! Your wet blanket just became heavier.
Who ranks higher? Gut Microbiome or Mitochondria? (I guess in terms of control over us as an organism/and the amount of influence over our evolution it has.) Is the hierarchy something like Mitochondria > Gut Microbiome > Our own minds? Wild and very interesting, I love this stuff, thank you so much Anton.
What about fungi? Where are they in the hierarchy? Well, our science gone that "smart" that this may be topic for next century, if the civilization survives this one.
My autism agree with this video. Jokes aside, while making research on autism a while ago before my diagnosis I also did find those studies and I'm pretty happy to see a video using those studies because I thought it very interesting when linked to how we think we are "only human". Yes bacteria may make me "shy" or wierd to some sense but in fact it makes us all that we are. I find biology and neuroscience absolutely fascinating. Human behavior are also a subject that with time we discover to be nore closely linked to biology or physic for example.
Yeah, about time. Parents of kids with autism were discussing this likely link at the 1998 conference, and 27 years later, someone has finally done a study.
1 billion years ago: Bacteria 1: I say we promote brain size! Bacteria 2: But what if it gets too smart and turns on us? Only feeding us slop and then going on terribly long unnecessary fasting periods? Our world could come to and end and descend into dysentriopia! B1: Oh you're just a doomsayer, that will never happen. Bigger brains is the only path forward! B2: You're insane! B1: You're just a reactive-digestory! Cause a sh9t or get off the pot!
I very recently changed my diet and I’m starting each day with a green smoothie, reducing grains and cutting out gluten. It’s important to feed the microbes what they need to thrive. This dietary shift has notably improved my cognitive function and mood in short time.
There's already a procedure where obese patients can receive a poop transplant from a normal, healthy weight donor. It does lead to weight loss in the obese recipient. It would e interesting to see what happens with autistic children receiving a transplant from normal donors. See if it moderates their autism.
There’s been recent research showing that the cerebellum is abnormal compared to neurotypical people. It supports the consensus that autism is not a disease that can be ‘cured’, it’s just a difference. So while there are ways to help people with autism to adapt to a neurotypical world it’s not the same as a ‘cure’. As for a different microbiome, let’s not mix up causation and correlation. Having (strongly genetic) differences that produce autism may also provide a different gut environment that favours different types of bacteria (there is already a strong correlation of gut issues within the autism population).
@@KatharineOsborne thank you for writing this. People draw way too quick conclusions about bacteria "causing" autism. And completely forgetting that autistic people often eat the same things.. I mean, you said it so well already, I don't want to just repeat it.
If anyone wants a practical guide to these and similar findings, there is a book called Your Brain on Food. It covers older findings on common psychological issues that correlate to certain foods.
@Terran.Marine.2 yeah, brain guy connection has been a pretty big deal for the past decade. Still a bunch of stuff we know but don't understand like Omega 3 helps decrease anxiety and depression in people with breathing problems. Pretty cool stuff to know if you want to edge yourself away from little insanities.
The current theory in dietary health is that we should eat a varied diet of unprocessed whole foods to improve our gut biome. People who live on processed foods have less diversity in their gut. Healthy food. Healthy body. Healthy mind.
Search for studies comparing consumption of fermented foods with control group. From what I recall, there was no correlation between consumption of fermented foods and an increase of gut bacteria activity, unless fermented foods were consumed in large quantities (almost all calories coming from fermented foods). I am skeptical of that finding, and it was disappointing to find out, but perhaps there have been other or more recent studies challenging this claim.
Fascinating... the gut-brain axis potentially explains so much. The 'final frontier', or definitely another one. Please keep this topic heavily in the mix. I never miss an episode! SoCalFreddy
So it could be the gut bacteria changing in certain areas where certain of food was available. And it looks likely that microorganisms helped species adapt and evolve over time.
Wonderful podcast. Have often wondered about the interplay of microbiomes, foods, minerals, food and flora on it and the promotion or inhibition effects they induce. Deep wonder at our expansions of what we know and what we don't.
Autistic people / autistic kids tend to eat the same things, therefore tend to lack variety in their diet, which surely impacts the gut microbes. I'd be very careful with drawing conclusions. It's more likely that autism (autistic eating habits) impacts the microbes, rather than than microbes causing autism. Edit: Also, people with mental sturggles have more bodily stress too (stress hormones), which might impact the bacteria. Plus, generally, stressed people tend to eat more junk food bc they lack the energy to eat better. Vicious circle. Basically, one has to be careful with conclusions e.g. what was there first...
As far as I've heard, this is the most encouraging news about our autism epidemic to ever come out. Hopeful this not only means we could stop future cases from happening, but dare I say find a means to reverse the problem in already affected people?
So how much longer before we see a connection between gut/autism....and THEN see how much of the immune system is in the gut....and THEN start wondering about immune issues/autism connection.....

Your gut health can directly impact your psychological state. It certainly has a direct impact on depression when it comes to things like serotonin production/absorption.
This is not the correct correlation. Your brain requires 120g of glucose to function on a daily basis (on average). After you eat, the food is metabolized into glucose, vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins. The latter to can be broken down to glucose through additional metabolic processes. Your brain is telling you you're hungry because it needs more glucose in order to function. This is why eating dessert first spoils your dinner. When you eat carbs, they easily break down into sugar and you raise your glucose. Your gut makes noise because there is nothing in your gut and your stomach doesn't just sit there, it is constantly pulsing in order to move food around. When there's no food in there, it can make noise. Several years back, a study was released that suggested that the microbiome in our guts may be responsible for many autoimmune disorders as well. This is further evidenced by the number of people that develop autoimmune disorders after being on antibiotics. I myself was diagnosed as having Lupus after being on antibiotics, however about a year later my blood no longer was reacting to itself. Basically, my blood plasma would cause my blood to coagulate, but in a normal individual it wouldn't. The only thing that changed was I no longer, ever again, took sulfa antibiotics because that wasn't the only reaction my body had. I'd break out in both internal and external hives. It was unpleasant. But I think the complex importance of the gut biome and the correlation to physical and mental health will be one of the biggest areas of break throughs in medicine. Hopefully within my lifetime.
Another reason to be cautiou gets wiped out with the bad. Not unlike chemo and radiation therapies. The best one can hope for is to try and control the collateral damage.
@@GyorgyGezaMeszaros-l5i this is why gut biome therapy needs to be developed. We need antibiotics or otherwise develop therapies for specific bacteria, but we also need to develop gut biome therapies both to treat conditions as well as restore gut biomes.

She has always done so, because every failure made by her has become, becomes, or will become a non-event. This doesn't make the present a success, merely inevitable. And of course that truly is unsurprising.
A very interresting topic indeed. When you think of evolution, one of the earliest system that was present in organisms and that is part of us today is the digestive system. It being so complex makes a lot of sense I guess.
4:12 given how many autistic people also have various digestive disorders, it’s utterly unsurprising that our gut microbiomes are noticeably different. it will be interesting to see more information about this correlation. i doubt it as simple as one causing the other, but i wonder if it could help a lot of autistic people with stomach issues or help lead to better diagnostic methods.

Haha Anton, I lived in South Korea and started a food company there involving fermentation. It was during that time that I started finding out about the microbiome and how intimately tied to it we are. Korea was sooooo ahead of its time in the research.
4:00 - The connection between gut microbiome and autism could help explain the dramatic rise in autism. Could residual glyphosate in our diet be changing the profile of our gut biome? Could it be eating more fast food or some type of processed food?
It most likely doesn't matter that much much process will kill lots of bacteria... But I think important thing is what kills which bacteria... Which is most likely partially redirecting people's minds state... Which most likely explains why people living or eating from similar places food resources become psychologically wery similar... 😅

There isn't a square millimetre of your surface that doesn't have a thousand bacteria upon it, and within you there are ten thousand types of thirty trillion bacteria. You have a conceptual problem. Bacteria were here first on Earth, and reach every part of it down to fifteen miles into Earth's crust. They have allowed us to live because we are evolved from them. Spoofed again . . .
@KatSpicert right? I mean, they always say people rub off on each other, but, what if the reason they do that is because they're spreading bacteria to each other? They'd literally be rubbing off on each other. 🤦🏼♂️
It has been assumed that established microbiomes are stable enough to fend off additional bacteria. On the other hand there was a case of an autistic boy who got better under a specific type of antibiotics. His autism returned when he didn't get it anymore. I'm not sure if that means that these bacteria are resistant or that he re-infected. Or maybe a stool transplant could have helped. From personal experience: we're usually not very social. Less contact -> less spreading. So the infected kind of isolate themselves. _If_ infectious autism is a thing. Which it is not, my microbiome says.

The implication is that it may not always be as simple as specific changes to our behavior and diet results in specific changes to physical and mental health.
[There are some initial at-home microbiome tests that Might be of some value to some people. However, when it comes to physical and mental health, few people start by getting and understanding comprehensive blood test results and trends. Results, such as Inflammation Markers, Immune Markers and Nutrient Levels, reveal how our microbiomes are effecting on our physical and mental health in many ways. This gives us important information on how we can nuture and control our microbiomes. ]
A lot of people have managed to address depression and other disorders with dietary changes and exercise, it just doesn't get talked about much as it doesn't make big pharma money and it also raises more questions about the standard diet pushed on the public.

This is why being social is important. You can exchange good bacteria with each other. But in the present time, people avoid touch as much as possible, so they barely exchange any bacteria.
I have consumed homemade milk kefir for over ten years, which I'm fairly certain strengthened my gut microbiome, protected me against viral and bacterial infections, and improved my mental clarity. Milk kefir microbes are known to colonize the intestinal tract in ways that yogurt microbes don't.
Most microbes get killed by the stomach acids.
I’d love to see you put out a video on how we can best take care of and support our gut health based on the most recent science

That's still an ongoing field of study, this being one branch of such study and well, a whole lot premature in some assessments.
Especially given that our microbiome in the gut literally changes with our diets, stress, time of day, hydration levels and more.
I think exploring the link between gut microbiome, diet and psychiatric disorders will teach us a lot. Living Well With Schizophrenia has been on a personal healing journey on this same wavelength for a year or two now

It's interesting that mice who developed social anxiety from our gut bacteria weren't able to recover, but humans CAN. I used to have really bad social anxiety and a fear of rejection and abandonment that made it hard for me to connect with them. I was able to overcome it via psychotherapy and teachings of eastern philosophies. I feel that this mice study just reaffirms how different and special humans are compared to other animals. The destiny of the mice to be socially fearful because of the fear-inducing bacteria was set in stone. But for us, we still have ability to overcome that social anxiety.
I don't know what it is, but the fact that we have the ability to overcome something that has complete control over other animals like mice is almost unbelievable. it's like we can just say "nah, not today" to our biology. It makes me hopeful that we can overcome our physical circumstances, it makes me feel awestruck at the fact that humans even have such an amazing ability, and it makes me wonder about how exactly we even have this ability in the first place. There's something very very different about humans. we're animals like all the other creatures on earth, but there's something about us that separates us.
The part with the mice developing permanent anxiety in the aftermath of bacteria transplant was kind of mind-blowing to me. Our conscious ability to transcend our own biology in some areas is astounding. I also suffer from social anxiety to the point that it's debillitatingly damaging to my soul. I just started with a psychotherapist and have been engaging in a lot of exposure therapy but find myself unable to find out who it is I actually am underneath my shell of trauma/ masks I wear when socializing. If I may ask, what eastern philosophies specifically touched you in ways that addressed these fears for you?
We also have longer lifespans, and also can logically think and do the oposit our brains (the fear) tells us to do (like practice to meet ppl), maybe that also can be a difference. So interesting subject! Glad you becoame well! Im struggeling to/on my way to recover from GAD/health related anxiety right now. 🙂
We are Gods in human form . “ I am what I am” , what we say and believe about ourselves , the body will accept it as so . Every cell in our body responds to what we think and believe . Believe you are healthy and you will be!
Social anxiety is not all about gut. I have a gut instinct that our gut is unconsciously controlled by amygdala, so if we can rewire amygdala, the gut biome will change accordingly. The study only changed the gut bacteria, it would be interesting if they performed an amygdala extraction on the mice whose anxiety persisted after biome replacement.
It's maybe just dosage difference.
We do FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplantation) and Artificial Seeding (at planned c-section) for quite a while in the NHS England, but the more interesting is that there is a forgotten Islamic tradition of ''seeding'' the newborn with saliva from well-reputed smart, and righteous person who needs to chew a date, spit it and this is placed on the buccal mucosa of the newborn by their parents.
I did immediately wonder if "bird feeding" (masticating food and then giving it to the child) infants moving off milk would have added intended bacteria that we no longer introduce to infants. Though how much gut bacteria overlap is there with saliva?
Imagine if the brain actually had nothing to do with consciousness, and it was just our microbiomes all along.
The brain is just the CPU… Consciousness is more like the software
Can confirm. ❤
There are so many layers of consciousness. The idea of ‘us’ is just a construct of many many nested conscious sub-systems, whether we or they are aware of it or not.

Outstanding summary of gut brain connection and significance.
Having worked with classical Autistic kids in the past and having a disabled classical autistic son , I have observed that chronic diarrhea is very common in this group , in my son's case cutting gluten from his food stopped his withdrawal into catatonia, but the damage was already done
I have an autistic cousin and his problems probably started around birth when doctors found out that his intestines weren't properly developed/partly dead. So I can definitely believe there's some correlation. Maybe the bacteria don't control our brains but at least they feed it.
Guide for baiting creatures....nóooóóoóope
The serious scientific research on autism never found a direct connection with gut microbiome and autism, just correlations that aren't causations.
Stopping gluten benefits anyone, not just autistic jids.
The diarrhea comes from picky eating + anxiety. Anxiety comes from being OVERWHELMED due to environment trying to make them talk, look at the eyes, ABA therapy, etc.
When autistic kids are treated with dignity and keeping them safe from noises, lights and unwanted interactions, they do great, while still disabled but they live just fine.
@@VeronicaGorositoMusic Nice assumptions about picky eating and anxiety , are you talking from experience ?? or from some conviction ?? My son was never a picky eater and was not involved in any therapy when all went wrong , he had intestinal problems from the moment he started eating solid food , and started withdrawing at two ..
@@abushams3336I suppose she means clinical trial research on altering the microbiome of autistics. I doubt every case has the same set of causes though.
We are a walking and talking network.
When I had a stomach infection and outbreak of one type of bacteria, my moods were also different as well as a breakout in hives on the skine in diffent places each day.
I'll get skin eruptions when my Crohn's flares, so there is a relationship that's known with intestinal inflammatory processes and other inflammatory processes.
As the microbiome is fairly well regulated by our immune system, well, to a fair extent, they're both in a loop control and well, way too many moving parts, it'll never work. ;)
I had to get hit with a nuclear amount of antibiotics in hospital. I figured it was a good time to fix my diet, rebuild a better microbiome. Helped significantly with my mental health.

So if they changed the biome, the rats never recovered and still had anxiety? Brutal if that's the case for people with social anxiety...
Well, there is obvious a lot of treatments for people and not for rats, but is a very important study that can change life of people with this condition in the future
They apparently never reversed changing the microbiome, plus we actually still don't have a consensus on what's normal in humans, so we've got an uncertain origin platform for assessing source samples and an uncertain conclusion, as is the effect still ongoing absent that microbiome in mice whose guts are returned to a sterile state? Is there then a change if those same mice then receive a stool transplant from their "normal gut microbiome" peers?
Humans live a lot longer than rats, so if you have anxiety, don't give up hope yet.
Thought the same - they never recovered
They dont have therapy, we do.
Every cell in our body is capable of independent reaction to stimuli, therefore there is a degree of conciseness. They all work in concert with one another to form our bodies.
Your body is an entire biome and you, are the leader. So, it would make sense that, instead of thinking of your body like a car, it would be more appropriate to think of it as a horse that you feed, take care of, bond with, form a relationship with and be kind and forgiving to.
Strangely I started doing this almost 3 years ago. My physical and mental health have completely changed for the better. I'm starting to believe they are even part of our thoughts.

Wow! This is truly incredible! 😮 🤔 thank you for making these videos!
I hate to be a wet blanket, but I think that a little more caution is warranted when interpreting these studies. In particular, we should always remind ourselves that correlation does not equal causation. This could certainly apply to the autism research, as gastrointestinal issues are very common in autism. It wouldn't be surprising if some of the genetic variants that contribute to autism could also cause GI changes that lead to microbiome differences. Furthermore, people with autism may eat differently due to their GI problems.
Behavior differences could come into play regarding the social anxiety study. It's plausible that people with social anxiety could eat differently compared to the average person. For example, they may eat out less due to the anxiety of going to a restaurant. Some might even eat more junk food as a coping mechanism for their anxiety. Given the strong link between diet and the microbiome, both of those situations could account for the differences seen in the study.
I can't fault Anton too much here because the microbiome researchers themselves have a tendency to overhype their research.
Autism research is so touchy that even the study cited for determining it is a genetic condition was never conducted, because autism activists thought it was offensive. Yet somehow the gene hypothesis is held as a holy Grail to shut down any further contemplation. Not meaning to bicker with you just airing out a grievance. I can't ever talk about science surrounding autism without being told it can't be prevented or caused, because it's purely genetic.
Gastrointestinal issues themselves are very common. My autism has always existed in the absence of any GI anomalies.
Don't tell astrophysicists and cosmologists lmaoooo
The claimed results effects in the ASD stool transplant to mice could've been slightly improved, as there seems to be no mention of actually making the mice guts a sterile environment and testing them, then transplanting the "normal" mice stools to give them the "normal" group's microbiome and see if that changes their behavior.
As for difference in microbiome, we're still studying to figure out whatinhell normal is supposed to be in humans, so they started out on a flawed platform. Our microbiome changes based on many factors we have learned about and apparently, there are more factors that are being still examined. Stress, literally time of day, foods eaten, hydration levels, electrolyte levels in the bowel and blood, rest and fatigue and more.
Add in if there are any genetic components to a human with one of the spectrum of ASD varieties, one gene activated that'd normally be suppressed as one example, that could also influence immune function or other gut axis systems and influence the microbiome in the gut.
In one of the experiments, when the healthy rats were treated with bacteria from the asocial "feces", the rats became "mentally" sick ... and never recovered! Your wet blanket just became heavier.
We have awesome and often hilarious commenters here. It only adds to Anton’s great videos 🙌👍🏼
Who ranks higher? Gut Microbiome or Mitochondria? (I guess in terms of control over us as an organism/and the amount of influence over our evolution it has.)
Is the hierarchy something like Mitochondria > Gut Microbiome > Our own minds?
Wild and very interesting, I love this stuff, thank you so much Anton.
What about fungi? Where are they in the hierarchy? Well, our science gone that "smart" that this may be topic for next century, if the civilization survives this one.
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🤘
My autism agree with this video. Jokes aside, while making research on autism a while ago before my diagnosis I also did find those studies and I'm pretty happy to see a video using those studies because I thought it very interesting when linked to how we think we are "only human". Yes bacteria may make me "shy" or wierd to some sense but in fact it makes us all that we are. I find biology and neuroscience absolutely fascinating. Human behavior are also a subject that with time we discover to be nore closely linked to biology or physic for example.
Fascinating! Thank you Mr Petrov
Yeah, about time. Parents of kids with autism were discussing this likely link at the 1998 conference, and 27 years later, someone has finally done a study.
I thought this was very well known by now.
They were called crazy back then and still mostly are demonized now.

I very recently changed my diet and I’m starting each day with a green smoothie, reducing grains and cutting out gluten. It’s important to feed the microbes what they need to thrive. This dietary shift has notably improved my cognitive function and mood in short time.
There's already a procedure where obese patients can receive a poop transplant from a normal, healthy weight donor. It does lead to weight loss in the obese recipient. It would e interesting to see what happens with autistic children receiving a transplant from normal donors. See if it moderates their autism.
it can. see dr. sabine hazan research
It has been shown to do that in case you didn't know. Moderate autism
There’s been recent research showing that the cerebellum is abnormal compared to neurotypical people. It supports the consensus that autism is not a disease that can be ‘cured’, it’s just a difference. So while there are ways to help people with autism to adapt to a neurotypical world it’s not the same as a ‘cure’.
As for a different microbiome, let’s not mix up causation and correlation. Having (strongly genetic) differences that produce autism may also provide a different gut environment that favours different types of bacteria (there is already a strong correlation of gut issues within the autism population).
Have you guys heard of the telepathy tapes yet? Very, very very interesting… The mind is amazing.
@@KatharineOsborne thank you for writing this. People draw way too quick conclusions about bacteria "causing" autism. And completely forgetting that autistic people often eat the same things..

The current theory in dietary health is that we should eat a varied diet of unprocessed whole foods to improve our gut biome.
People who live on processed foods have less diversity in their gut.
Healthy food. Healthy body. Healthy mind.
Pretty soon the current theory will be that you should eat a specific diet of processed foods to support workplace productivity

@robertYTB78g absolutely!
Greatly appreciated as ever 👍
Can drinking kombucha then have a direct cause on the micro biome and thus the brain?
Yes.
Search for studies comparing consumption of fermented foods with control group. From what I recall, there was no correlation between consumption of fermented foods and an increase of gut bacteria activity, unless fermented foods were consumed in large quantities (almost all calories coming from fermented foods).
I am skeptical of that finding, and it was disappointing to find out, but perhaps there have been other or more recent studies challenging this claim.

So it could be the gut bacteria changing in certain areas where certain of food was available. And it looks likely that microorganisms helped species adapt and evolve over time.

Wonderful podcast. Have often wondered about the interplay of microbiomes, foods, minerals, food and flora on it and the promotion or inhibition effects they induce. Deep wonder at our expansions of what we know and what we don't.
Autistic people / autistic kids tend to eat the same things, therefore tend to lack variety in their diet, which surely impacts the gut microbes. I'd be very careful with drawing conclusions. It's more likely that autism (autistic eating habits) impacts the microbes, rather than than microbes causing autism.
Edit: Also, people with mental sturggles have more bodily stress too (stress hormones), which might impact the bacteria. Plus, generally, stressed people tend to eat more junk food bc they lack the energy to eat better. Vicious circle.
Basically, one has to be careful with conclusions e.g. what was there first...
Wow this is huge... utterly mind blowing
Vagus Nerve knows what the brain, heart, and gut feel.
As far as I've heard, this is the most encouraging news about our autism epidemic to ever come out. Hopeful this not only means we could stop future cases from happening, but dare I say find a means to reverse the problem in already affected people?

Your gut health can directly impact your psychological state. It certainly has a direct impact on depression when it comes to things like serotonin production/absorption.
One thing is for sure, when my gut tells me I'm hungry, all my brain thinks about is eating. Smart brain, because my gut holds grudges.
That's nothing my dog wouldn't disagree with. So I agree with him. We can all bark together.
Smart BICTERIALS😂
This is not the correct correlation. Your brain requires 120g of glucose to function on a daily basis (on average).
After you eat, the food is metabolized into glucose, vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins. The latter to can be broken down to glucose through additional metabolic processes.
Your brain is telling you you're hungry because it needs more glucose in order to function.
This is why eating dessert first spoils your dinner. When you eat carbs, they easily break down into sugar and you raise your glucose.
Your gut makes noise because there is nothing in your gut and your stomach doesn't just sit there, it is constantly pulsing in order to move food around. When there's no food in there, it can make noise.
Several years back, a study was released that suggested that the microbiome in our guts may be responsible for many autoimmune disorders as well.
This is further evidenced by the number of people that develop autoimmune disorders after being on antibiotics. I myself was diagnosed as having Lupus after being on antibiotics, however about a year later my blood no longer was reacting to itself. Basically, my blood plasma would cause my blood to coagulate, but in a normal individual it wouldn't.
The only thing that changed was I no longer, ever again, took sulfa antibiotics because that wasn't the only reaction my body had. I'd break out in both internal and external hives. It was unpleasant.
But I think the complex importance of the gut biome and the correlation to physical and mental health will be one of the biggest areas of break throughs in medicine. Hopefully within my lifetime.
Another reason to be cautiou gets wiped out with the bad. Not unlike chemo and radiation therapies. The best one can hope for is to try and control the collateral damage.
@@GyorgyGezaMeszaros-l5i this is why gut biome therapy needs to be developed. We need antibiotics or otherwise develop therapies for specific bacteria, but we also need to develop gut biome therapies both to treat conditions as well as restore gut biomes.

4:00 - The connection between gut microbiome and autism could help explain the dramatic rise in autism. Could residual glyphosate in our diet be changing the profile of our gut biome? Could it be eating more fast food or some type of processed food?

If bacteria is causing social anxiety and autism, does that mean that it could actually be spreadable? Like between partners or something?
There isn't a square millimetre of your surface that doesn't have a thousand bacteria upon it, and within you there are ten thousand types of thirty trillion bacteria. You have a conceptual problem. Bacteria were here first on Earth, and reach every part of it down to fifteen miles into Earth's crust. They have allowed us to live because we are evolved from them. Spoofed again . . .
Infectious autism wasn’t something I thought I'd be thinking about today, and that anxiety might as well be contagious here too lol.
@@KatSpicert I thought that was MAGA.
@KatSpicert right? I mean, they always say people rub off on each other, but, what if the reason they do that is because they're spreading bacteria to each other? They'd literally be rubbing off on each other. 🤦🏼♂️
It has been assumed that established microbiomes are stable enough to fend off additional bacteria.
On the other hand there was a case of an autistic boy who got better under a specific type of antibiotics. His autism returned when he didn't get it anymore.
I'm not sure if that means that these bacteria are resistant or that he re-infected. Or maybe a stool transplant could have helped.
From personal experience: we're usually not very social. Less contact -> less spreading. So the infected kind of isolate themselves.
_If_ infectious autism is a thing. Which it is not, my microbiome says.
