Mindsip insights from this episode:
Identify abnormal bacteria to understand depression's microbiome link
Recent studies show that depressed individuals have a distinct 'depressive microbiome,' and you can identify these specific abnormal bacterial species.
Avoid oats to safeguard serotonin production
Oats, even organic ones, are often contaminated with glyphosate, an antibiotic that specifically targets and kills the gut bacteria responsible for producing serotonin.
Leverage dead bacteria in fermented foods for probiotic benefits
The cell walls of dead bacteria in fermented foods carry important messages that other bacteria read, making them as beneficial as live probiotics.
Leverage super-agers' microbiomes to neutralize environmental toxins
The microbiomes of people who live to be over 95 have a unique ability to eat and neutralize environmental toxins like plastics and petrochemicals.
Optimize gut health to enhance immunotherapy effectiveness
The effectiveness of powerful immunotherapy cancer drugs can depend on having specific gut bacteria like Akkermansia, as the drugs may not work without them.
Leverage Urolithin A to boost muscle strength and endurance
The postbiotic Urolithin A, made by gut bacteria from pomegranates and walnuts, has been shown in studies to increase muscle strength and endurance without any changes in exercise.
Recognize gut gases as communication signals for mitochondria
Gases produced by gut bacteria, like hydrogen gas, act as 'gasotransmitters' or text messages that communicate with and regulate your mitochondria.
Implement mitochondrial uncoupling to enhance longevity
Intentionally 'wasting' 30% of calories via mitochondrial uncoupling protects mitochondria from damage and is a hallmark of people who live the longest.
Understand polyphenols as signaling compounds, not antioxidants
Polyphenols are not antioxidants but are actually signaling compounds that gut bacteria eat and then activate into absorbable, bioactive compounds that benefit us.
