I almost didn't post a blog for you this week due to an intense episode of back and hip pain, but I seem to have rebounded in the past 24 hours and am feeling a lot more energetic and motivated today, so you're in luck! :-)
And I'm particularly excited to bring you this podcast episode this week, as the topic is near and dear to my heart. If you've been following this blog for a while, you probably know that the gut microbiome is something I find quite fascinating. We are still only exploring the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding the immense range of microbiota that makes up such a huge part of our physical bodies, and it's so exciting and amazing to me that there is so much more still to discover in this microscopic realm!
There is still so much we don't know about the many different types of bacteria within us, how they interact with each other and each of our bodily systems, and what a difference our bacterial balance can make for so many areas of both our physical and mental health.
I'm grateful for the many researchers out there who are studying this largely unknown world, and to forward-thinking professionals like Dr. Mark Hyman who are bringing these findings to us! In this week's episode, Dr. Hyman and Dr. Steven Gundry explore the science of the gut microbiome, and how a healthy and diverse gut biome can improve your overall physical and mental health and longevity. Check it out below!

In this episode of The Doctor's Farmacy, Dr. Mark Hyman converses with Dr. Steven Gundry, a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and nutritional pioneer. They discuss the significance of the gut microbiome in influencing overall health and longevity, aligning with the ancient wisdom attributed to Hippocrates that "all health begins in the gut."
Dr. Gundry, who also hosts The Dr. Gundry Podcast and leads The International Heart and Lung Institute Center for Restorative Medicine, sheds light on the impact of a diverse gut biome on various aspects of well-being. The conversation delves into the role of the gut microbiome in regulating immune function, hormone levels, mental health, and susceptibility to diseases such as autoimmune, heart, and neurodegenerative conditions, along with arthritis, diabetes, and cancer.
They also discuss the hallmarks of a healthy microbiome, including the concept of mitochondrial uncoupling and its role in maintaining a robust gut wall. Dr. Gundry emphasizes the importance of polyphenols,colorful compounds found in plant foods, in nurturing gut bacteria. You've probably already heard about prebiotics and probiotics, but Dr. Gundry also explains the important of postbiotics, compounds produced in the gut, and how they impact our health.
He also explores the intricate connections between the gut microbiome, depression, mood disorders, and the effectiveness of immunotherapy drugs in cancer treatment.
Finally, they talk about the prevalence of leaky gut syndrome, and Dr. Gundry's recommendations on foods to avoid for fostering a healthy microbiome. You can find a detailed list of topics below the video.
