** note: [Dr Sonnenburg, a brilliiant doctor, raises great questions regarding intermittent fasting, he says he would need more research on the subject; Dr Ed Group has done extensive research into this field of study and with the enormous amount of benefits, you will want to look at Dr Group, his books, his works and more. You can find him at The Global Healing Institute or globalhealing.com -Thanks for reading this, Sharon.]
-HumMy guest this episode is Dr. Justin Sonnenburg, Professor of Microbiology & Immunology at Stanford University. Dr. Sonnenburg’s research focuses on how microbes in our gut impact our mental and physical health and how diet and your environment shape your gut microbiome. We discuss the architecture of the gut microbiome and microbiota variability in different regions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and how these can change in response to diet, environment or genetics. We explore the early establishment of your microbiome and how your mode of delivery into the world (C-section or not) shapes your gut. We also discuss lifestyle factors that can alter your microbiome and the integral role the gut microbiome plays in communicating to other organs, including your brain. Dr. Sonnenburg details his recent clinical study, which found that diets rich in fermented foods (but not fiber) increase microbiota diversity and reduce signals of inflammation. Additionally, we examine how foods typical in Western Diets (e.g., high fat, low fiber, processed foods) can negatively impact the gut microbiome. Throughout the episode, we discuss actionable tools from peer-reviewed clinical findings that anyone can implement, regardless of budget, in order to optimize their gut microbiome and health.#HubermanLab #Microbiome #GutHealth Thank you to our sponsors:AG1 (Athletic Greens): https://athleticgreens.com/huberman ROKA: https://roka.com - code "huberman"Helix Sleep: https://helixsleep.com/hubermanSee Andrew Huberman Live: The Brain Body Contract Tuesday, May 17th: Seattle, WAWednesday, May 18th: Portland, OR https://hubermanlab.com/tour - code: ‘huberman’ Pre-sale tickets go on sale on Tuesday, March 8th at 10 AM PT Our Patreon page:https://www.patreon.com/andrewhubermanSupplements from Thorne:https://www.thorne.com/u/hubermanSocial & Website:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlabTwitter - https://twitter.com/hubermanlabFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlabWebsite - https://hubermanlab.comNewsletter - https://hubermanlab.com/neural-networkDr. Justin Sonnenburg Links:Center for Microbiome Studies: https://stanford.io/3vGkdS0 Dr. Sonnenburg’s Lab: https://sonnenburglab.stanford.edu Dr. Sonnenburg’s Published Work: https://stanford.io/3HN6eMFArticle Links:"Gut-microbiota-targeted diets modulate human immune status": https://bit.ly/3sLv2QIBook Links:"The Good Gut: Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-Term Health": https://amzn.to/35RQP0c"The 4-Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything and Living the Good Life": https://amzn.to/3hqxkP0Other Links:NIH Human Microbiome Project: https://hmpdacc.org Timestamps:00:00:00 Dr. Justin Sonnenburg, Gut Microbiome 00:02:55 The Brain Body Contract 00:04:16 AG1 (Athletic Greens), ROKA, Helix Sleep 00:08:30 What is the Gut Microbiome?00:12:49 Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract & Microbiota Variability 00:16:00 Breast Feeding, C-Sections & Pets00:21:56 The Human Microbiome Project at Stanford00:26:30 Traditional vs. Industrialized Populations00:28:58 Resilience of the Microbiome00:35:10 Regional Differences Along Your GI Tract 00:42:04 Fasting, Cleanses & Gut Health00:51:19 Dietary Differences 01:01:24 Simple vs. Complex Carbohydrates, Processed Foods 01:07:03 Artificial & Plant-based Sweeteners 01:12:44 Cleanses: Useful?
