Healthy Digestion - Not What, But How? | Courtney Jackson | TEDxMontrealWomen

- All too commonly, we suppress the normal physiology of a healthy digestive tract with our daily habits and medications. In doing so, we lose a precious opportunity to extract the greatest nutrition from our food, and we continue to suffer from common, but not normal, digestive complaints. How do we return to normal digestive physiology, and why is this an important pursuit?
Dr. Courtney Jackson is a naturopathic doctor who passionately promotes the healing power of whole foods to her patients and the public. She co-founded the Food as Medicine Institute at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, where she continues to teach community-based cooking and nutrition workshops. Prior to medical school, Dr. Jackson earned her Bachelor of Science in Resource Ecology Management from the University of Michigan. She maintains a private practice at Grain Integrative Health where she offers comprehensive, patient-centered evaluations focusing on hormone, digestive, and cardiovascular health. Most recently, she co-authored the book Food as Medicine Everyday- Reclaim Your Health with Whole Foods- which is a “highly accessible, thoroughly researched medical nutrition resource.''

TL;DR
1. Take a few deep, stomach breaths before meal
2. Be grateful for food you have
3. Chew, chew, chew, until food becomes a liquid
Thank you for this wonderful, informative talk!
Thanks doo!
🤤Thanks I got easily to the lemon part, but had to wipe my floor after it.
YES! Mindful eating, rest and digest, so key and foundational.
Please understand that she spoke in the same manner as she expected us to eat our meals, peacefully, without stress and in a restful manner. Walking the talk, literally.
Thats no peaceful speaking, thats falling asleep. What did she smoke? Marijuana?
@@Ullimately smoking weeds stimulates and enhances digestion so maybe yeah
Key for optimal digession
I find myself often leaving the state of consciousness. Not easy to take that much time, but it absolutely pays off. She is so right!

Her pauses between sentences is superb....
it allows us to absorb the info ......we need the time .
She is good ....so patient....and nice to listen to....
she needs to teach other presenters....she is perfect..
You are what you absorb, not what you eat!
Wow! Makes sense!
i'm really glad you clarified that about bloating! everyone says bloating is normal. it isn't.
Before eating:
1. Take deep breaths - triggers "rest and digest" system, also strongly scientifically proven
2. Chew food
3. Say words of gratitude
Thank you
Our mindset at mealtime does influence our digestion . "pay attention not only to what we eat but also how we eat''🍱🥗🍣🥣 . -Thoughtful statement
This is simply one of the best lectures I've heard about nutrition. I appreciate her taking her time to explain how a sympathetic overdrive surpresses digestion and hence proper nutrient absorption. WE ARE WHAT WE ABSORB AND NOT JUST WHAT WE EAT. I love that catch phrase.
We are HOW we eat
her calmness is so soothing !
Even I was thinking so
@@Shazana_holistichealth true..I agree with you guys
Pretty sure it kicked my digestive system into action.
True
Thank you for the comprehensive explanation on digestion and the techniques for effective eating without stress.
Loved This Lady!! She is so calm and composed! Delivered an important lecture for us not with a scary tone but with a pleasing tone throughout! Wow!
She is falling asleep and makes people fall asleep, too.
I’ll
If you liked this video, you may also want to hear about the indicators of a healthy gut! They include: 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!
Her skin is glowing! And I think that we all can guess why. :) Thank you so much for such an insightful and helpful talk. This is my first time hearing "You aren't what you eat. You are what you absorb." It hit me hard. How come I never had this idea before? When I think about it, it's so true. The same goes to many other aspects of our lives, and not just food. For instance, even if we were to read one of the best books in the world, we wouldn't get anything out of it if we just look through each page briefly just to finish it. Little would we get from reading if we never put in thought to it and apply it to our own life. Thanks again for enlighting me. I will keep your lesson in mind and get ready to be in a rest mindset before eating each meal, starting from tomorrow's breakfast!
she looks like the happiest person on earth :D
what a lovely talk
Contrary to what doctors say , indigestion is caused by a lack of stomach acid or weak stomach acid or both .
Nah, I haz bwain fod map..cant guess..;D
You suffer from serious constip00shion!?
it is VERY important to be mentally calm when trying to digest food.
Digestion begins in the brain. Not in the mouth or stomach.
Thankyou for your expertise and teaching.
Continuous smiling with great humble expression and explaining so beautifully the digestive system of our valuable body.
how rhythmic your speech is...wonderful.
Excellent speech. Love how calm you are, have a beautiful skin. Learned so much. Thank you!
Excellant talk. Mindful delivery of the points by the speaker is wonderful.
wonderful! thank you so much for this input!! lovely greets
Very nicely explained. Thank you!
Excellent. Very useful. Thank you very much
Thanks for the speech this was given to our question paper for our biology exam
thank you
thanks for excellent lecture
Perfect. To understand the process is to solve the problem. Thank you for this. Bliss
Thank you so much
We are what we absorb. SO true! And mindful eating is so foundational to proper gut function. I hope to give a Ted Talk next year on Functional Nutrition and Gut Health!!
She is so calm ......
Well put together 👍 so good 👌!!
Thank you, that was really helpful 🙏
I’ve chewed my food so poorly since childhood, I’m always in a rush to chew and swallow a meal. Now it’s hard for me to eat slower because I legitimately can’t stand having the texture of liquified food in my mouth 🤷♀️
You suffer serious constipooshion?
Good watch .. 💐
Love this talk! So My mama was always the last to finish eating, and spending a moment blessing/having resurrected for your meal is a part of most faith traditions ❤
Great points, also loved the way the speaker delivered in a very calm and composed tone.
clam and composed? SLEEPING PILL!
I used to turn on the TV news while I ate my breakfast, but for the past year or so I finally wised up. No more TV fearmongering news; I now eat my breakfast in peace, and with a heck-of-a-lot less stress. I turn on the music channel instead.
Very informative and useful! Thanks!
Wonderful.
I love her smile😀😀😀
What a pleasing tone!! Thank you beautiful lady with a beautiful message.
Boring, not pleasing. She is a sleeping pill.
Very well done 👍
3 helpful steps: Bless your food
Deep relaxing breaths
Chew thoroughly
Also don't drink water 30 minutes before and after meals, as that dilutes your stomach acids.
Eat meals sitting down, preferably cross legged, so the blood supply is more around the digestive organs.
Thoughts and emotions
Makes perfect sense. Thank you
If you liked this, you may also think it's interesting that there are some mistakes people may 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!
Lot's of great wisdom in this presentation. And such fundamental knowledge about how to optimise our efforts to eat well and stay well. Thank you very much. I am on a journey of healing myself, from the inside out, after an Autoimmune diagnosis. This presentation confirms that I am on the right track to becoming well again.
Sending you a big support! ❤ I too have autoimmune disease. It is a war to fight but I believe these things will make us have so much less scars during our battles. Hope you will be much better in future.
Very good, ´´take a few deep breaths before mealtime´´
´´rest and digest state´´ ´´practice slow deep belly breathing´´ ´´chew your food until it liquefies and then swallow´´ ´´say words of gratitude before mealtime.´´ ´´Digestion begins in the brain´´ ´´You are what you absorb´´ ´´Our entire digestion system is regulated by our nervous system´´ ´´no chocolate, no alcohol, and no coffee ´´

I need to become one, it's been my dream for a while...

" Our mindset "
Very nice revelation. The truth shall set you free...
It's a really useful video. Gratitude. Thank you.

All things go through the mind
But it is always expressed in and through the body
Thank you for this beautiful, peaceful, inciteful, and inspiring presentation! 💕

Im watching this while eating
All common problems ....Digestive system is key to health ....Acid reflux ,acid indigestion Nausea ,stress hurts ...
Great explanatiin with a pretty smiling expression...
Bout time, great lecture, even say if i ate the best food proved to work for me, and my best friend gets hit by a mac truck, that food feels like coming up
I am a gas bag. Chronic constipation is a norm for me. Exercise and eat well and meditate daily. It is the medicine I take to keep me alive that is killing me.
gracias, merci
What do you think her p00ps look like?
I was listening it while eating🥺🥺
Oh myyyyyy eat well ok .not too much not too stress
I would like to know your opinion on blender drinks. Example, blending together fresh fruits and vegetables with some kind of protein. You are obviously not able to chew the vegetables and fruits. Does that affect digestion?
Q. Should we take a cup of water after having a meal?
Well presented 👏👏👏👏👏😊🐝
Super
Her way of talking was so relaxed ... Indian Ted talk are like in 2x speed
I eat fast because I binge eat, (although a normal weight) iv drilled it into myself that some foods are bad and when eating them I feel guilt somewhere deep in my soul and so eat fast to trick my brain into thinking I haven't eaten the thing.
Trying to chew my food properly now because I have very low stomach acid which is causing problems.
I have 2 young kids so peace at mealtime isn't happening, I'm feeding my daughter as I scoff down my food.
Enjoyed the video, nothing groundbreaking but nice reminder to take your time and make eating a priority. These comments thou are spooky, such a wild mix of crazy "real knowledge" about dietary concepts and the working of the human body.
I'm still trying to digest this information. I have to swallow my pride and make changes. I may have bitten more than I can chew.
What about ulcerative colitis?
The Grace prayer is a divine design for good health. Who knew.
What is Grace prayer? Please tell me.
@@arifali6762 praying for your food before you eat. e.g. God bless the is food.
One month of constant stress happened before 2 years ...heat burn never is always disturbing....may be splinter dysfuntional.....
Koreans believe in the same thing.. if u r stressed out, u end up in indigestion
In my native land, we have a saying about digesting: Do not even move after eating even when you hear the death news of your parents.
Wisepersonsay interesting. So am I correct if I lie down after eating, it helps digestion?
Makes sense! Oxygenated blood is required to digest (as it is muscle contractions, which need oxygen). When you move other parts of your body, your blood goes there instead of the stomach and digestive organs. I hate when i hear people say to move after eating!! The term rest and digest exists for a reason!
@@mitchwow5325 So just sleep after eating ?
I’m curious to know where you’re from?
Someone wasn't paying attention to the which frame of the Video that is being used as the Introduction Picture of the RUclips Video. Take a quick look & you can make the mistake of thinking which Finger is being held up ! (Not what you'd expect to see in a TEDx event........ Unless it was Richard Stallman who was the speaker,I suppose)
Does she offer guided meditation?
All I had today was pasta and chicken slice of bread and had the worst stomachache I’m thinking maybe I needed more fiber but I truly don’t know I did drink a bunch of water to try to compensate
👏🏼💙
Genius 1:29
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Fiber is the fourth macronutrient. The short chain fatty acids produced by fermentation are necessary for optimum health. These fats are the preferential energy substrate for the GI tract. I think the health benefits purported by advocates against eating meat are not so much the result of not eating meat, but of displacing it with dietary fiber.
Glenn Lockwood өрі ой н күй [5см ишим 1 төзімді щ
Wrong
90% of those fats goes to the stool, you need animal fats in your diet
The healthiest people in the world prove you wrong. Heart disease, cancer and diabetes is highest in meat eaters, and lowest in plant-based whole food eaters. Just a fact.
Sometimes eating a food we normally dont eat cant get properly digested. Not so bad, I just wanted the treat, not the additional calories.
At 12:51 she mentions "the primary nerve that influences digestion." Can anyone tell me the name of this nerve? She said it in the context of deep belly breathing, and that this breathing engages the nerve. Interesting ... I'd like to know more :)
Troy Santos :
vagus nerve ?
(pronounced vay-gas)
@@temperateortropical161 yeah right
Vagus Nerve
The reality is that nobody gives a thought to these things unless when they fall sick. It's been ten years I've to go toilet three times a day it has ruined my life. I don't understand why my large intestine is so restless. It's been 9 months I've been doing workout and Pranayam but nothing seems to be helping.
Correct
What you absorb
In the mouth
Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuy bueno
rather than deep breathing , follow YOGIC BREATHING , it is the best yoga breathing exist on earth
Wow
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice speaker, but i disagree many animals big cats, deer, rodents etc are under a state of high alert when eating looking out for danger of predators or food stealers. Ditch all packaged food and all foods not created by nature and digestion will take of itself.
Interesting how her last suggestion is to say grace before a meal, a practice Christians have been doing for a long time. The Lord had it in his plans for proper digestion!
Correct about the brain
using antacids for a long period of time increases calcium or vitamin B12 deficiency and also poor protein breakdown
It is so worst, that we need speakers, to show us, how life can work!
The following sights of the seeing must be cleared before they are starting to show, how it can work! But if the people, whom are running this system, are knowing that facts of life, they are also knowing how to get more and more money, land, workers for their own rules and a lot of more benefits!
There are a lot of informations on the internet, that the GMO food, hasn't got these minerals inside! In the sight of the monoculture ground economy!
What do you think? Is it right or wrong, with that sight in the heaven and in the earth?
The aggriculuture isn't balanced, instead of that economy, which is working for banking and pharmaceutical systems!
What would you say, if you hear these statements of science and physiological professional analysts, which tells us, that the vaccinations are robbing body-mind-and-living rooms, in- and outside of us?
Please come back with correct informations!
. Mere didi ko digestion ki problem the toh uno na planet Ayurveda se medicine li baha se
unko buhat fark pad gya.
ab boh bilkul thik ha
was eating when began watching this 😂😂😂
Wow anushka sharma
Next meal is after body wastes urine excreta sweating are discharged.
Actually, hardly anyone knows what a healthy diet is.
Especially in the USA
there isnt just one healthy diet, everyones body chemistry is unique and your goals for health are also different thus changing what would be a healthy diet for you, such as someone who lifts weights regularly wanting to bulk up and someone else who is sedentary just wanting to improve their body composition
@@zachwoolard3260 Sure, but all humans are frugivores so should be primarily be eating fruit, yet most people aren't.
Next meal is after fully digested.
