Mindsip insights from this episode:
Beware Akkermansia during long fasts to protect gut health
The popular probiotic Akkermansia can become harmful during long fasts by eating your gut's protective mucin layer, leading to a leaky gut.
Beware artificial sweeteners: they trigger insulin release without sugar
Artificial sweeteners cause your oral microbiome to signal for an insulin release even without sugar, which can lead to insulin resistance.
Evaluate red meat impact based on gut microbiome TMA production
Whether red meat is harmful depends on if your specific gut microbiome produces high levels of the compound TMA from the choline and carnitine it contains.
Beware of oxalates in healthy foods like spinach and avocado
Foods like spinach and avocado can be detrimental if your microbiome can't properly metabolize their high levels of oxalates and uric acid.
Leverage gut microbiome to manage stress response
Recent research shows that your gut microbiome controls how you respond to stress, a trait that can be inherited from your mother's microbiome.
Address oral microbiome imbalance to prevent leaky gums
An imbalance in your oral microbiome can cause 'leaky gums,' which allows harmful bacterial toxins like LPS to enter your bloodstream, similar to a leaky gut.
Prioritize RNA expression to understand current health
Your DNA is a static blueprint that doesn't change, whereas your RNA expression reveals what your body is actually doing and is the key to understanding your current health.
Utilize personalized toothpaste for optimal oral health day and night
A new personalized toothpaste uses different formulas for AM (to break down plaque biofilm) and PM (to deliver postbiotics and adjust the microbiome).
