I was having lunch with a microbiologist a couple of years back* when this topic popped up and she likened the human body to a 'mobile ocean'. Because of our semi-permeable skin, we retain this biome inside ourselves. In her research it was becoming massively apparent that we are completely reliant on the balanced existence of the personal ocean in our bodies. Her particular field of research was intercellular dependency between our cells and the bacteria and virus that are operating between the walls of the cells and in some cases inside them. Bio trash removal is a big thing in our bodies.
*We were literally talking about our poop in detail while we were eating. Microbiologists don't understand the term 'appropriate'.
Just like those in the medical field...eating lunch while discussing the goings on in the theatre...quite entertaining😁
That’s an incredible field. I’m retired now, but I can definitely imagine myself in microbiology - “immersed”, so to speak, in the microbiome.
I've got Crohns disease and this make really sense to me.
I''ve always felt that my colon is avoiding certain types of food and demanding other types of food.
Sort of a self-medication or self sustaining demand.
And don't aks me why.. it's a gut feeling 😉
Look into LowOxalateCarnivore...
Dr Shawn Baker made a video about it today. He's looking for people that healed that disease on this diet. To collect the data. The title of the video is about something else. I think something about vegan "research".
I went on the Keto-Genic diet and it fixed everything. Try it - nothing to lose. Cheers!
Do you eat lots of fermented food like Kefir, Sauerkraut, Kimchi, etc.
@@kaoskronostyche9939 many go low oxalate carnivore after the Keto diet and improve even further! ✨
The little I've heard about fecal transplants is mind blowing. It's not so much " you are what you eat" than it is "you're the doordash for your bacteria"
We’d better order good healthy food for our bacteria!
You're not what you eat you're what you digesttttt! Our little friends help with the breakdown and if they're gone we struggle
“You’re the DoorDash for your gut bacteria” is a meme I will never forget after reading that here! Thank you! 👍
You are the doordash for the tiny people
Just because a symbiotic relationship exists doesn't mean gut bacteria and humans are one single entity or bacteria control humans.
When you need each other you support each other.
It's like that with birds that clean crocodile teeth. It's like that with sloths and trees.
It's like that honeybees and flowers. You don't refer to a honeybee as a part of the flower or vice versa just because they need and depend on, are affected by one another either.
In reality the inside of our gut is mostly part of "outside" world. That's why there is a thick intestinal wall between, a highly acidic stomach and it's constantly flushed out.
Been following the 'Re-Poop-pulation' story for some time for various reasons. Interesting to consider that when the famous SARs panic took place, another tragic one (ignored by media then & now) took place. When the dust setteled it turned out only ca 780 SARs deaths occured worldwide. In the Quebec city area, however, over ca 2,500 died of 'C' Defecile (sp?).
'C' Def was caused by the overuse (misuse) of antibotics. These killed off bio-fauna that fed on toxins (neutralizing them), given off by other bio-fauna doing their own natural job at work in the bowls. With nothing left to clean out the 'toxins', the patients died . . . full of safe antibotics of course.
C. difficile, difficile meaning "difficult" in latin
@@firstnamelastname9918 apparently this species of Clostridium (now called Clostridioides) was named 'difficile' because it was very difficult to isolate and grow in the lab (Hall and O'Tool, 1935)
Wow, thank you.
@@firstnamelastname9918 Thanks . It was too difficile for me to remember. : )
This is LITERALLY the most important topic regarding human health.
Damn right I'm surprised
these freeloading bacteria have been using us to escape the ocean for billions of years and enough is enough
I agree. In general, people only know a little bit about calories. Some understand carbohydrates are not good. Sugar is really bad, it feeds the gut bacteria you don’t want. Most people have no idea how much sugar there is in all kinds of food, like ketchup and sauce. It’s ubiquitous.
@@EmperorDarthSidious66I agree, it’s difficult to eat a healthy diet in this country. It seems like 90% of the food is full of either refined sugar, fat, or both.
@@TheFrewah carbs are not bad for you please do not believe that 😅Sugar is also not bad for you, overuse of sugar and some carbs is wat is bad for you. Not eating enough carbs and sugar is very bad for you too
10:15 So when we say someone has a crappy personality, we're being far more literal than we realized
So basically, my gut bacteria affects my mood to a point that it convices my mind what to eat, and since I do that the bacteria are happy which makes me feel happy as well.
When I was on a heavily Japanese inspired diet, my cravings were radically different.
The smell of seaweed or an ocean breeze made me hungry.
I couldn't stand swet stuff.
Not just that, experiments on animals proved that adding or removing specific microbes it changes sexual orientation and mood in general, even the way that animals went suicidal
@@rudolfsykora3505, That’s really interesting. My partner who’s trans has a Coke and a sweet roll for breakfast. She loves ChefBoyRDee, ramen noodles, etc. She’s 64 and healthy. I’m 66 and stay away from a lot of carbs, sugar, etc., eat a lot of vegetables and I’m a mess. Ha!
its even more crazy. if you feed yourself with fast food and cheap carbonates, you feed bacteria that will eat that stuff. and this bacteria will tell you subconsciously feed me that stuff.
thats also why probiotics are only a temporary solution. you need to feed the healthy populations, to gain health benefits
Not just the gut bacteria but also the toxins that the sciences backed up by all the defence forces and the advanced weaponry advanced technologies the decaying nuclear renewables rare renewables and bioactive bioelectric dispersal to increase the energy needed by making us through certain bio organisms and the chain reactions alchemical dispersal for Energy harvesting ...it's what we aren't told and the conflict of interest the financial providers of institutions systems and organisation's that have massive private financial input that could have influential non disclosure of outcomes is a possible theory ...who knows but all possible causes bennifits and hazards may not be disclosed when those that don't know what is of good choose financial self gain gain of function for a cause or an ORDER ...is a possible but unproven theory ... if there are those that have chosen to ignore what's best for people and the earth for a cause or are the few that put themselves above others for self gain gain of function and those that have forgotten the love within there hearts to know what is of good for all and this beautiful earth that will have unstable thoughts decisions and actions unfortunately there are those that are narcissistic that for misguided reasons have taken upon themselves or are unknowingly forgetting the mistakes of the ancient alchemists ....I'd like to think that the good in all for all prevails
I'm loving all the Ketovore and Carnivore comments on this video! Glad to see my community growing.
I've always thought that the gut micro-biome had to be contributing to our bodies more than just their presence. They leave behind waste and create chemicals in response to their environments. It was always likely that this was impacting the way we think and feel. One thing people mention on the Carnivore diet is what we call the "Carnivore Calm". My patience is getting better day after day on the Carnivore lifestyle.
This, 1000000x over. My life and health was never better than when on keto. I think eating all those animals and their organs helps us absorb their biomes
Aside from the gut microbiome , there are also what we currently refer to as parasites , some of which may serve a purpose to moderate our gut immune system response. Researchers have had some success treating some gut auto-immune diseases by introducing relatively innocuous helminths (gut worms).
Our immune systems have been dealing with parasites for longer than we have been human. Remove the parasites and we might just have a problem with an overactive immune system.
Any biome has both “good” and “bad” bugs. They also directly influence their environment by affecting pH etc. this keeps them both in check with one another. Any disruption has the potential to shift the environment to the bad bugs, which can cause myriad issues for the host.
It’s best to think of the flora and fauna as being at war with one another. Even in soil, plants interact with soil insects, bacteria, and fungi. It’s so complex and their relationships are inextricably linked.
Sounds like something a parasite would say...
@@OhFishyFish"or" a lodge bubba. free west papua!
This is something I’ve been hypothesizing for a while. I didn’t know people were researching it. With ever-present immune-suppressing parasites, evolution would favor immune systems that were more active. Now take away the parasites and you’ve got a whole lot of immune systems turned up to 11.
@PaulG.x yes I read a study about how the removal of parasites may actually be a cause of asthma due to over active neutrophils
The main thing to remember is we are JUST beginning to understand all this. While we evolved FROM single cells, we are also collections OF single cells. We are them and they are we and no probiotic can act as a cure all - I'm sure we'll find these biomes are like fingerprints (different types, different quantities, different knock on effects, etc). Great run down... wouldn't it be great if a bacteria could be the answer for microplastics in our blood!
the other thing to remember is that if you remove decades of acculturation a human being may be able to telepathically connect with rebels in west papua who have been subjected to a 62 year silent 1.8 million genocide for the world;s biggest goldmine u.s. operated of course it could happen and they are ending it starting december 13th. like you'll see it anywhere but this comment ever.
Mmmmm I've been thinking about that, and PFOA, etc.
A little different of a topic but I like it. The gut has so much influence on how we feel every day. I think it was Plato who said all disease starts and ends with diet. Looking forward to more videos on the topic.
the gut has neurons that extend all the way from the brain, literally reminiscent of a second brain
4:58 just wanted to share a thought about the idea of us being ships for the bacteria. It's actually quite a brilliant idea and an ingenious way of spreading your colony to new areas. Consider that they have evolved to be a multigenerational colony who inhabit the vessel until members of the colony are excreted out of the ship in a small vessel called feces. They colonists then being dropped off are left to their own devices and hope that conditions are favorable to multiply. It's a brilliant analogy.
That's why I poop everywhere, yeah! High five, bro!
@@TheChzoronzon honestly, you just made my morning 100x better. 😁
Even more, life being the ships for info, genes, memes, etc.
Also that is why new lifeforms based on new tech would be a continuing path of life regardles our limited concept of it
Heh. Analogy.
There's outer space ...and well, there's inner space too. You carried this topic quite well, Anton 😊!
innerspace, such a good movie.
Infinite without, infinite within. To understand one, we must understand the other.
Inner space is outer space to the zillions of microbes that live in us
Perfectly said 👌
I suspect Anton's bacteria wanted in on the youtube action
Up to about 40 was not lactose intolerant, then could not digest any milk products, then about 45 was not lactose intolerant again.
What changed? Yogurt with active cultures, started slow (< 1 serving/day) then one serving per day, in about 2 weeks was able to consume smaller amount of milk products again.
Now milk products are not a problem, still eating yogurt/day. Yes take note what type on cultures you take in, be consistent.
Set the yogurt out of the fridge for about 5 minute and that's to allow them a little time to wake up.
The gut microbiom is incredibly important. I even have a story to tell.
2-3 years back I seem to have loaded up on „bad“ microbes. Why and how were they bad? I could not eat wheat-based products because I would get bloated, everything would ache and I would have aggressive diarrhea after eating pasta, bread and pizza and basically everything with wheat in it. My mood swings were brutal. Kinda like celiac’s disease. This went on for months.
After I caught norovirus and „flushed“ my gut with it for a few days, I could eat wheat again.
This was an eye-opening experience.
Wow, that sounds like an amazing experience..One of my best friends seems to have this problem, wonder if he could be helped like you were?
@@scottnixon2899 I guess there are more pleasant remedies and I also suppose there is no guarantee it works, it did for me though and I’m really happy it did. But I wish your friend nothing but the best!
It was quite shocking how after a time of high stress and almost no sleep these issues would start out of the blue…and how it all stopped due to a virus which turned my gut inside out you could say
@@pbroski92 Know what you mean..I got a stomach bacterial infection(from my mom) a few years ago, worst l had ever been sick..Unbelievable nausea, and stomach explosions for couple of days. Understood my mom stating that she would welcome death just to get some relief!
Interesting. Bad health of the gut microbiome has also been associated with Alzheimers disease, dementia and Parkinsons.
It's also heavily implicated in obesity, since the gut bacteria secretes neurotransmitters, which in turn modulate the feelings of hunger and satiation.
If you want to build muscle, lose weight or have chronic digestion issues, taking bacteria from a person with desirable characteristics can yield surprising results. Probiotics can help aswell and are less gross though.
Time to go sewerdiving in my nearest weightlifters house
We also have beneficial microbes living on our skin. Making the skin uninhabitable by using cleansers that "kill 99% of all bacteria" or just using alkaline soap - bacteria like a PH of 5.5 - allows yeasts to grow on our skin that would have been controlled by those bacteria. The yeasts can then get to work decomposing your skin while you are still using it.
On the plus side, you can make alcohol just by soaking in a tank of sugar water! :P
I always avoid anything that kills germs when washing my hands. There's enough evidence and physical proof that shows washing with warm water and soap gets rid of anything dangerous and all the dirt on your hands as long as you scrub good.
Skin is naturally acidic, due to the presence of fatty acids. So yes, you should use a slightly acidic soap.
Yes! This! When I retired I stopped taking showers every day - I always thought it was bad for your skin to wash every day. Balance matters.
i believe in only washing skin with water. too bad even water is somewhat toxic with unwanted additives.
In 1989 I had one of the first intestinal bypass surgeries to stop my uncontrolled weight gain after a spinal infection bout. It had all sorts of side-effects that showed very much how this video is indeed correct as to such communications of the gut with the rest of the body. My new weight-created diabetes problem disappeared instantly, for example.
I had red about that years ago. My father, ravaged by diabetes, and over weight. I tried to talk him into asking the doctors about this. failed. He died of diabetes complications.
Interesting, my father was in the hospital with sugar "off the charts". He should have been dead or in a coma. He laying there (inflated like a ballon) yelling about the hospital food.
They should have flown him to the Mayo Clinic to find out what's going on. But no. No money in it for the doctors......
@@tellmemoreplease9231there's no money in the cure, the money is in the treatment!
ever thought of the keto diet to control your weight...I bet the keto diet changes your gut micro biom...better than surgery
I had fantastic health until I got a serious MRSA infection. I had to completely purge my system, as the MRSA was hiding EVERYWHERE.
After the MONTHS of intensive antibiotic and sterilization regimes, and even though I pumped myself full of all the most varied probiotics I could find, I developed irritable bowel syndrome.
When my gut is having an 'unhappy' bout, it sends my blood pressure soaring and triggers arrhythmia!
A few days ago I had a fascinating conversation with the psychiatrist who is handling the care of my live-in daughter-in-law's schizophrenia - the conversion focusing on research being done in the area of fecal transplants to treat schizophrenia (and possibly reverse it entirely). Started going down a bacterial rabbit hole since, and wham - you hit me with this. Thanks for all your hard work putting out these videos in such rapid succession btw, bud. I never miss them.
how is she doing now?
did she have a fecal transplant?
Imagine gut flora's surprise when they find a video about what things called "humans" do for them.
Haha yeah
Imagine humans surprise when they find out gut flora goes rogue and eats us for food when we die
@@julesknight1511 Eats materialist and other chaldean minded structuralisms who rationalize the world around them this way. Lol
Its good to find ones self so that you don't become zombie food lol
0
Yeah thats something they gonna have to digest first!
Would love for you to include information about how loneliness and social isolation in modern society contributes to less sharing of bacteria between individuals and less diverse micro biomes.
Just go to the airport or train station, etc., and touch all the sufaces...you'll find plenty!
A much easier way would be to just go out and touch grass.. literally. There is a study on gut microbiomes of people just sticking their hands in the dirt and it increased the diversity
@@Ryan-wx1bi That's interesting. Do you have a citation? Our soil seems so unhealthy these days, filled with glyphosates. 🥺
@@TerriblePerfectionHmm selling virgin soil will be the next silicon valley startup ideas
@@TerriblePerfection I remember a story some time ago about a study on children at daycares that played in gardening soil, versus those that didn't - apparently the gut health of the dirty kids was much better, equivalent or better than adding yogurt to a diet - that's just off the top of my head, no idea how reliable it is, what caveats there are (like you say, the specific quality of soil used), but it's probably worth a further look if you have time. For me, It seemed intuitive enough that the story has truth - would be interested to hear any update.
I truly agree! Our brain is definitely connected to our gut! I know first hand because when I feel stressed or anxious I'll immediately get a sick stomach! I used to think I had stomach issues! But once I moved away from the stressful environment! I got better! And now I understand the symbiotic relationship, the bacteria in our brain and stomach has!
I had bad gut pain/IBS for years. After my divorce was finalized it went away. Same thing with my dad. When he retired from teaching, his gut pain vanished. (He REALLY didn’t like his last several years of teaching)
That’s stomach acid that hurts, not unhappy bacteria.
As for the brain-gut connection: The human intestines possess more white matter by volume then the brain itself, last I read, biologists were unable to explain its uses to the human condition.
Urinary tract microbiome, vaginal microbiome, skin microbiomes, and oral microbiome all have their unique roles and populations
But what happens if my mouth microbiome meet someone's vaginal microbiome? Asking for a friend.
@@Chaosman88 usually, if both areas are rinsed off before hand and everyone has consented - a screaming good time
Sometimes - oral thrush, or oral chlamydia, or oral gonorrhea (sic), or exchange of herpes simplex viruses, or exchange of human papilloma viruses. In which case, go seek qualified professional advice
I’m grateful this is coming to light more n more! the gut is everything apparently
This is EXTREMELY important and will affect many of us directly and profoundly. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Hello, Wonderful Gut Microbiome with associated person!
I got your new intro right there, Anton my man.
Great video, would love to see more on this topic. Was about 15 years ago when I had my first fecal transplant patient and I've been thinking about this subject every since.
Well, I wanna get a fecal transplant so I could enjoy the smell of the donor's feces.
In the fall, I routinely make multiple 1/2-gallon Mason jars of Cortido (fermented El Salvadorian spicy sauerkraut) using Manzano and Jalapeno peppers. Control the sourness and crunchiness by the number of days you ferment. As short as 5 days to 30 days or more. The probiotic effect is nice.
Sauerkraut is similar, I guess. Kombucha also has a nice effect which you can brew at home
@@TheFrewah Zymurgy is one of my hobbies.
Is it yummy?
@@infinitemonkey917 Much better than just sauerkraut. I my preference is using the Manzano peppers which I grow or can easy acquire at a local store.
My wife would have to take a jar of Sauerkraut with when we went of vacation. In case she had problems pooping.
I've tried to explain this to people and they think I'm crazy.
Only bother with people who show some interest, most prefer to follow the last TV fad or equivalent.
Because they're on carnivore diet.
Most people are intellectually Lazy. If the good looking person on "TV" doesn't tell them or a celebrity, then it's ignored.
When the student is ready the teacher appears.
@@MrSojek - Because what?! Are you a sadly confused vegan or something like that? Most people are in the Coca-Cola diet: you see them pulling their fat asses across the streets with the extra weight of 2L Coke plastic bottle. They don't understand, they don't care, they go to the doctor and get a pill (or a dozen).
A true "carnivore" (Paleolithic or Ketogenic) diet is ideal, although probably not the only meat version, some veggies and fruits are a good complement.
Ive suffered from extreme ibs for 3 years now and eversince i started changing my diet entirely 1 year ago i stopped using antidepressants and my guts stopped cramping and bloating so severely. I love that you inform about these important studies too. The vagus nerve connects your guts to your brain and if somethings messed up down there the nerve being so thick it keeps sending messed up singnals to the brain too. What could be more important than what we eat? The change in energy both mentally and physically once you start having 3 meals a day is so crazy
what did u change in ur diet?
Wait so was the three meal a day habit better or worse for you? It’s been worse for me.
Certainly supports my theory that antibiotics change personality. Something i figured out this year. Very interesting. Thank you Anton
iirc there are some antidepressants that have that as a side effect too
I drink homemade kefir on an empty stomach daily followed by fiber rich food. I feel happier, less moody, less stressed and my anxiety has decreased alot. It's amazing.
Same here. I also include vitamins D and K2, plus omega 3. I believe that these combined have had a profound effect on my mental and physical health.
a half a cup of raw coriander does all of that for me
Yeah no kidding, my sleep is so good~
Kefir is Life
Even if every cell in the body were genetically human, we could still ask the question "who are we?" The reason being that we lose billions of cells every day, more are born, and yet we remain. There is something about being an individual that transcends one's construction. Each one of us is a colony. In terms of scale, it forces us to ask the question "Is each one of us a cell in an even larger being that has a conscious experience in a form we cannot comprehend and with which we are incapable of interacting?"
Who says we're incapable of interacting with that greater existence? Cells communicate with a portion of the collective after all.
what if all human thoughts and emotions are released and go up in the sky around a field that surround our planet, let's call it the "noosphere". what if we tried to remove all the negative emotions and thoughts from it too? surely it wouldn't release all these violent physical reactions through a certain area.
@@cralo2569 that seems unlikely
Cool, I've been doing a lot of research about this subject myself. The most interesting species I learned about recently is akkermansia muciniphila. Which, fun times, you can actually buy. Whereas a lot of times when you hear about some interesting new potential enhancement it's entirely academic.
Cool, you should check Jairo Rrstrepo, is a Colombian dude, you would have to learn some spanish, but it's worth the effort
Any books you would recommend on the subject?
@@davidramirezrodriguez3373I do know some Spanish. I'll check him out. Thanks.
@@jonnelsiiniNo, sorry. I rarely read books anymore. I get all of my information from scientific journals. You can find the articles by making hypotheses with Google Bard or Chat-GPT, and then interrogating the high-level view by asking for DOIs. Then you get the DOI that supports or doesn't support your hypothesis, and either use your alumni library privileges or Gale if your community library card gives you access. Read the articles, look for issues. Create a Cloud Note journal, e.g. Google Docs, One Note to keep track of your findings. Books usually have limited and outdated information viewed from the lens of a single person or only a few people. Given the massive frontier of gut flora most of which are undiscovered at this time, by the time a book is written, the information will probably be too old to matter. AI searches and scientific journals are the way to go in 2023, IMO.
I'm surprised RUclips's spell checker passed that. 😅
I'm always amazed at the variety and depth of your research/knowledge. Thanks, Anton.
I agree very much
That “see? she’s excited.” had me dying 🤣🤣
I was on a ton of antibiotics as a kid, and it has absolutely screwed me over in adult life, I can't digest sugar. It definitely affects my personality, cognitive function, and my overall health. Taking caprylic acid, full spectrum enzyme supplements, and extremely powerful probiotics keeps me mentally stable and much healthier. It is a huge difference when I accidentally eat sugar or go without the mention supplements for long.
Have someone poop into your gullet so you can get a nice array of bacteria who would love to move.
Are you diabetic? Test yourself
no one should be eating sugar. It has the same effect on mitochondria that arsenic does, and that's not a good thing.
Look into LowOxalateCarnivore.
Everything that you said will improve. It's a promise.
@@zarroth we shouldn't eat any plants actually 😇🍗
I'm on the 3rd day of switching from an omnivour diet to a full vegetarian diet, that includes whole plants, grains, nuts, beans, veggies.
So no meat, dairy, eggs, butter, and my mood has improved noticably.
It's interesting to consider that the two may be related.
Many more and bigger colony ships leaving the mother ship, too.😊
Great video. The discussion around fecal transplants is very important. I'm glad it is getting more attention these days. It has great potential for restoring many people's health. Our modern food and medical systems have turned our guts into relative deserts compared to what they once were.
Excellent episode!
Well, I knew that life decisions were some serious sh!t but that takes it to a whole new level!
We SERIOUSLY need to start regulating antibiotic usage.
Good info. I learned about this 10 years ago after discovering I had had candidiasis for over 20 years. It took years to get the candida under control, clear out other parasites or bring them under control too and rebuilt my body's systems. Now I am fine.
this connection was guessed at, over 80 years ago. It seems pharmaceutical companies were rather more happy dealing with the symptoms of gut-microbiome imbalance, than they were looking for the actual causes.
It took 2 mavericks a couple of years of pratting around , just to get things going.
You basically just summed up the pharmaceutical industry as a whole. Treat the symptoms, not the cause
The hpa axis or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is also connected to our gut microbiome. It also has a role with stress response and effects metabolism, immunity and our behavior. Very interesting topic! 👍
I wonder what the relationship is between BO, breath and gut microbiome. I assume the HPA axis would have something to do with that, right?
This is as always the more unbiased, informative and relaxing channel of science comunication.
You trully deserve all my apreciation.
As a someone with Crohn's disease, I've really enjoyed this presentation, Anton. Thank you!
And, as always Anton, wonderful! Thank you.
TY Anton for showing us that microbes are doing more than just hitching a ride.
The earth is literally a “generatonal ship” rocketing though the universe with us on it.
Explore more microbe content, Anton!
It is like the vastness of space but in the microscopic direction/scale.
A fascinating and growing field of science that likely effects everything everywhere.
I would love to see more on this channel.
Fantastic video, Anton! I’ve known this for a while. You presented it in such a way that it’s very shareable. I’m glad to hear that. They are doing a lot of research in this area and I look forward to more of your videos on this topic!
Nice video, Anton. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
This confims my personal exprience. For 11 years, through diet, I have reduced to silence PPMS, an ‘incurable’ ,progressive, irreversible, auto-immune disease. Most of my symptoms have simply gone away, none have progressed. I simply do not eat any food from a factory or industrial farm. If I go back to eating industrial food, my symptoms return. They go away when I stop! A simple on/off switch. My passengers are very happy aboard my spaceship ! More videos on the microbiome if you can please. Love your work, kudos to you Anton.
Some of your best work Anton! Truly enjoyed watching and looking forward to more like this👍
Wonderful video, super well put together and understandably explained
Stanford University researcher Erica Sonnenberg has a great RUclips talk on her research.
I highly recommend it. I changed my diet to eating more dietary fiber(this is what the 'good' gut microbes eat, fermented foods( food with microbes in it all already), and a probiotic pill(introducing good gut microbes)
I am 52 and was making old man noises when I would get up out of a chair or out of bed. I feel great!!! no more old man noises.
It should not be a big surprise as Erica Sonnenberg's research shows that eating 40-50 grams of dietary fiber or 3-4 servings of fermented foods both reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a common throughline of many chronic illnesses that show up as we grow older.
Very glad you are talking about this vast subject. I look forward to more, thanks!
This is such a great video. Thanks. Would like to see future videos on this topic when new info comes out.
It's a good question, whether we should think of these microbes as being part of ourselves (like the rest of our cells) or as distinct organisms that happen to live inside of us. I think we should think of them as distinct organism that we have a symbiotic relationship with. They are not the same thing as us, but we depend on them, and they depend on us.
Exactly. But also they are so essential and central to our existence in every way that we really should know all, or as much as possible, about them, how we should eat, how to keep them happy and in balance, and thriving.
Mitochondria are a truly wondrous and permanent merger. Even though they keep their DNA separate, we cannot exist in our current morphological form without them.
It's good to see this well known (not mainstream) subject could be potentially taken seriously by mainstream health.
I've lost count of the times friends & family have spent years doing tests, & trying different anti-biotics, without ever once being asked about their diet by doctors & specialists.. It's ridiculous.
Im glad you did this. What we are learning now about gut health is mind blowing and makes you think very deeply about what goes into your body.
Also, seasonal changes in our diets, in the past. You only had fruits and vegetables in the fall. Until canning became widespread.
The microbes that helped digest those lay dormant most of the year.....
I'd say that fruits are typically (in Europe) from Spring to Fall (strawberries to prunes) and veggies are year-long (at least some do grow all the year and a few like cabbages are winter specialists).
In tropical climates the seasons follow other logics and don't forget we're Tropical at the core.
I try to eat locally and seasonally, even though I can find avocados and tropical fruits all year long. That just causes mitochondrial chaos. Shipping food around the globe is insane and environmentally irresponsible.
A little different subject but very interesting. I take probiotics everyday so I wonder how that fits into the scenario. The fact that people in certain areas had the same bacteria and that it may control our moods/personality sounds like a bad science fiction movie, but it needs further study and identification of bacteria with certain behaviors.
Probiotcs helped me not. Prebiotics - giving your biome good stuff to eat - is a far better strategy, plus not being so afraid of germs. The Ketogenic diet fixed all my problems. Cheers!
I've never quite understand this. Are pro-biotics food for bacteria or refreshments of bacterial colonies? Wikipedia says: "Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you". Other sources say or imply they are bacterial food. Nevertheless, if they are helpful bacteria and yeasts, then their colonies should persist and thrive once in the gut. A person would not need to take more in every day. If they are good for you but don't survive in the gut (needing daily replacement), then there likely is some other factor at work there. For instance, maybe something else you do or don't consume affects them or maybe it is not profitable to sell long-lasting cures, etc.
Anton, thank you for doing all that you do! I love your channel and your content is always top-notch!
Love that you shed some light on this important topic and new research on it. Keep it up 👍
Thank you, Anton!
Turns out the dude at the end of the human centipede found the fountain of youth.
You're right, but you make me sick. Lol
🤣
Anton, I could watch your videos on JUST THIS TOPIC every single day! So much to learn about ourselves, our health, and even our thinking and our personality. All your topics are always interesting, but this topic about our microbiome is totally gripping! Thank you! 👍
Thank you so much for this! Fascinating topic. This is the sort of thing I instinctively knew, e.g. what foods affected my mood, my energy level, my digestive comfort. So fascinating to have these studies confirming that but also being so specific. So helpful.
Thank you, Anton.
I've always had an adventurous palette and I hardly ever get sick. Now I know at least part of the reason why! Any research done on really spicy foods in this regard? Thanks, Wonderful Anton!
Watching this as I collect five days worth of acute bowel distress symptoms on paper to present in the Urgent Care Center. Great timing, at least from my perspective.
Anton you are a wonderful person. Thank you. I've been enjoying your videos and perspective for a couple years now. Thank you also for your warm and kind intro, addressing us viewers as 'wonderful people'--some of us are and we appreciate it
I’ve been waiting for this one! Love it.
This was very educational and interesting, and got me thinking. Years ago in my twenties and thirties I exercised regularly and ate healthier. Then like a big rock falling on my head everything went to crap. The biggest lesson I have learned from Anton's video is that I should probably quit eating Cheese Puffs every day 😂
Considering humans are made up of less than 50% human cells, I tend to think of the human body as a host, a vessel, or a universe for these microbes, and considering the effects they have on our brains, could our perceived consciousness, in part, be their collective work stimulating our brain cells? Definitely wandering into the metaphysical there, but since we have no real understanding of consciousness, I think it’s fair speculating since these microbes are more tangible than many things we hypothesize might give rise to it.
They absolutely stimulate our brain cells by producing essential elements if you have the right kind of bacteria. If not, well…
I agree. Veda Austin's work with water is mind-blowing.
Interesting thoughts but a couple of things to help speculating in the right direction:
- a bacteria is 100x smaller than a human cell, meaning a human may have 100x more proteins of a certain type, making them still the master of their habitats. If we compare our body to a forest, the trees (our cells) are the main factors in nutrient turnover but the animals, the insects, bushes (the microbiome), bring diversity in functions, protect the trees, help them survive, acquire nutrients while not merely equaling the CO2 capture and O2 production potential of the trees.
- anthropocentrism is the biggest bias in biology, because we relate everything to our own experience of reality but we are not the only holobionts ! Other animals, plants, fungi (also the fungi in our gut) have their own microbiomes
You’re a super-organism.
@@seb5344but with the fact that bacterial genome is a more important part than our cells genome so protein wise I don’t thing the cells size changes a lot but I understand your point. Like always you can’t just find one way to cure for everything but some factors are more or less important and I think it’s a real problem in the medical capitalist world ; we often stop progress looking for profitable even if it means less reliable options when designing drugs.. but it’s just slowing humanity down when privatised findings are made public that’s when life are saved
OMG! Super good video! Can not wait for more on this topic! Hope you go really in depth on this topic! Make all the videos you want on this! :)
Love your videos! Apart from the subject matter, the quiet, understated way you express yourself and the soft voice (so rare in anything broadcast nowadays) makes them infinitely pleasant to listen to.
Thank you.
Always Interesting hearing how they continue to play a big role in our lives. Especially when considering we're all just evolved creatures from simple microbes, yep just a collection of them put together in a complex way. 😁
I spent a good part of my childhood on farms. Lots of dried poop from ALL the farm animals in the air, along with all the pollen, etc.
Drank milk from cows, REAL butter (I had to churn). Maybe took a bath on Saturday, before we all jump in the mule wagon and went to town.
They called me "bugs", because as a little one, I would eat anything, even bugs of all sorts.
I don't suffer from any of the asthmatic problems others around me have. They were raised in a "clean" environment.
Just saying.......
You milkef the cow first, right?
As a side note. I'm allergic to Penicillin and Tetracycline. Baby reacts violently.
Body..... reacts violently.
@@napoleonfeanor LOL...... I gotta be more careful with my typing....
This is fascinating stuff. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about 5 years ago, which made quit eating gluten. I quickly noticed a drastic positive difference in my temperament and personality when I removed gluten from my diet. On the other side of that, I get more irritable and very impatient when I accidently eat gluten.
Co-operation on a grand scale. Competition on the other hand is catastrophic.
A few years back the Physician's Assistant I was foolishly seeing basically nuked my gut biome with too much antibiotics. It took 3 years to get back to normal but along the way I made sure to stay away from sources of potentially bad bacteria, and load up on known beneficial bacteria. Now my digestion is the best of anyone I know especially my from my family. It seems nuking my gut killed off my families crappy bacteria's and I inoculated my gut with probiotics over the counter and food bacteria on the foods.
No
Inspiring story! I'm trying a new protocol starting with Saccromyces Boullardii and then later "soil based" bacteria, then a bifido mix. Hoping to regain a sense of gastric normalcy I once had in my 20s. (possibly after the antibiotics they gave me for a kidney infection I had) I don't see myself ever beng able to quit loperamide, though. It regulates more than just my gut. My anxiety, too.
@@alexwilder8315It's an opioid, and being dependent on it is going to cause a lot of problems downstream. It doesn't cross the blood brain barrier - supposedly, according to old research, but acts on opioid receptors in the gut and decreasing the motility is a great way to ruin your gut health permanently.

Soooo funny....
Excellent, well done episode on an incredibly important subject that continued good scientific research is finally putting on the medical communities radar! Look forward to hearing more from you on this subject.❤
For many years I’ve struggled with severe depression and Bipolar Disorder (type 2). I tried a slew of 15+ pharmaceuticals which had no positive effect. I tried Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and therapeutic psychedelics too, with no noticeable improvement. A couple years ago I stumbled upon convincing research linking many mental and physical illnesses (including my own diagnoses) to an inflammatory diet. I switched to a whole-foods diet and after a few months my mood lifted and stabilized dramatically. The diet change includes completely avoiding refined sugar, gluten and refined carbs like bread, fried foods, and vegetable/seed oils like canola, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, rapseed, etc., and other processed ingredients. I also take a daily probiotic/prebiotic and mushroom blend powder. These changes reduce inflammation and support a healthy microbiome, so I can attest to the speed and dramatic change that a healthy gut can provide! (I also follow a plant-based (vegan) diet, but I think the mental health improvements I experienced mostly came from avoiding inflammatory processed ingredients.)
Also, it’s been known for a while that certain kinds of mushrooms like Lion’s Mane promote neurogenesis, meaning they can actually regrow brain cells. It’s one of a handful of known foods able to do that.
Very important, something I learned when I changed my diet. I now eat One Meal A Day, vegetables and fat fish. Butter, not margarine. Lot’s of fibers, I add oat bran. Stay away from sugar, it feeds the bacteria you don’t want in your gut.
How do you achieve the minimum of 2000 calories/day or if you are physically active, even more, in a single meal?
No sugars (quantity), but fat (quality) is the way! Canola or olive oil, eggs, butter, fish, meat, cheese, vegetables, no fruits or carbo. More than enough calories...
Well, unless during exercises or manual work, we don't need much carbohydrates!
@@user-li8up7nt2o You don't need that many calories. The three "big" meals a day is a modern thing.
@@francescofelicetti8865 we don’t . There are essential fats and proteins but there’s no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Fat is good and doesn’t make you fat. Just stay away from fried food because it contains really bad transfats.
@@tellmemoreplease9231 Not to mention snacks…
You should have went more into the vagus nerve.. people in the ancient Egyptian mystery schools knew the power of the breath and the vagus nerve and they knew how to calm down bodies via the breath the importance of this was known thousands of years ago awesome video though thank you 😎🙏
I just would of loved to see you go more in depth on the vagus nerve 😊
We have no idea what ancient Egyptians thought. Only what came after in the old kingdom
@@whendarknessfalls6969 the teachings are perpetuated in certain orders in know personally all i was saying is he should have went more into the vagus nerve there are various reasons why i will not go into
@@whendarknessfalls6969 Kinda.
Think of it as an extension of your brain.
Since the last vid about this I've been waiting patiently and you sir have delivered as promised
Incredible science communication as always. I would just like to add that in the mice study, they were primarily scanning for inflammatory markers which are precursors to all kinds of secondary diseases - the complex interplay between gut microbiota and our cytokines remains one of the biggest mysteries when it comes to predicting neurodegenerative disease/cancer initiation and progression! Wholeheartedly enjoyed this video and would love some more human content among the ones about our cosmos 😌
Poop transplants are a really interesting technology related to this.
Well, I wanna get a poop transplant so I could enjoy the smell of the donor's poop.
I got an Candida albican infection this spring coughing up yeast. This lowered my immune system and got covid for the 1st time(at least known) right after. Supposedly the opposite is quite common though. Getting covid followed by the Candida infection.
But one issue. IBS is an umbrella term for anything that's gut related that medical science has no idea what's happening. Basically like dark matter/energy, any matter/energy that is unknown to human knowledge but we know something is there.
The old term is Spastic Colon
To add to your helpful comments. IBS is a fascinating topic. I had a bout of it fifteen years ago, when under an enormous amount of stress. Never again, did I can help it.
Look up a product called "Syntol AMD" its a probiotic that eats candida. Solved my problem..
@@TheKrispyfort I remember that is what the doctor told my first wife she had.
I remember we were on vacation and got lost in Harlem (nasty looking), in NY city, sun is going down, I low on gas, and the wife has to poop NOW.
Fun times......
@@tellmemoreplease9231 That's a ... story. o_o;;
Thank you for providing your knowledge and passion for science on this amazing topic. As someone that has suffered from gut/digestive issues my entire life, it's exciting to see channels explore this.

One of the most wonderful person I know produces this channel. Thank you Anton!
Dear Wonderful Anton, I hope you took some time off and this was prerecorded because if not you're gonna go crazy. I love how you make 2 videos a day and joining actually doubles the content we get. One a day was good but 2 is better 🤘🤩
A while back as I was visiting family in South America I ate something that my system could not support and ended up With bad case of Montezumas Revenge for a few days. My family told me I now had a bland system working that could not support the microbes I was eating. I had a “gringo sto va mach.” So all along I’ve had a sneaking suspicion of the real function our gut had. This has been an extremely interesting learning experience and my only hope is that you keep them coming. Thank you so much!
No surprise if you were on the Standard American Diet. Much too much sugar, makes you sick & fat.
Montezuma was North American, but otherwise sounds like not that bad. Travelling always carries such risks until you get used to the new environment.
