Increased diversity of the intestinal microbiota (world of bacteria) generally appears to be a good thing. Can we achieve increased diversity by administering agents that kill bacteria? Can antibiotics or antimicrobial herbs increase diversity? Let’s discuss an important but often overlooked concept.

Biofilms are protective coatings that bacteria and fungus form to protect themselves from antibiotics and herbal treatment. Biofilms may be at the root of infections that won’t go away like Candida, fungus, H. pylori and SIBO. Today I speak with Dr. Paul Anderson on how to identify if biofilms are affecting you and what you can do about it.

A low FODMAP diet can help with IBS and the gas, bloating, abdominal pain and bowel irregularity that occur in IBS. We have previously discussed how a low FODMAP diet can heal your intestines by normalized intestinal cells, like intestinal
serotonin cells. Today we speak with a researcher who has been publishing these findings. This is an extremely interesting episode which helps covers;

Today we follow up on our recent conversation on helminth therapy, aka intestinal worms. We speak with Garin Aglietti, who is a worm farmer and works first-hand in helping people rebalance their gut ecology with worms. As weird as it sounds, intestinal worms used to be the norm and the current day absence of them may open the door for inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

The impact of the gut on one’s overall health is quite remarkable. Knowing this leads to a very tempting proposition – map the world of bacteria in your gut and then treat imbalances to prevent and reverse disease. Sounds reasonable, but there are some major errors with this assumption. Understanding what to do and what not to do can prevent hundreds of dollars in useless testing and treatment. Today we speak with one of the leading researchers in the world in this area, professor Rob Knight.

Gluten free diets can certainly be helpful, no question. However, there are some people who go gluten free and don’t feel fully improved. There is a well identified and somewhat simple answer that may help these people, a low FODMAP diet. Let’s discuss a recent study that found that FODMAP avoidance was more effective for those with self-diagnosed non-celiac gluten sensitivity than was gluten avoidance.

I wanted to share with you today a recent interview I did with Dr. Ben Weitz on his podcast, the Rational Wellness Podcast, where we talked all about GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. I think you’ll like it. It’s a little bit longer than our normal videos, but we get pretty deep into GERD and there’s a lot to say here. We haven’t talked about it much in the past, so I’m hoping you’ll find the information both insightful, interesting, and above all else, hopefully useful.

A recent study has shown that probiotics can help reduce gas and improve constipation by decreasing levels of certain bacteria in the gut. These bacteria include the organism responsible for methane SIBO (technically not a bacteria, it’s an archaea). Was this a ‘special’ probiotic? Not really. Let’s discuss the details.

Worm therapy might be the missing link for gut health. This is because most of our hunter-gatherer ancestors were colonized by worms, and these worms appear to have an anti-inflammatory effect. Modern day, we are missing these worms and their anti-inflammatory benefits. Today I speak with Duke researcher Dr. William Parker. We discuss how worm therapy might be able to help IBS, IBD, depression, anxiety, allergy, and even autism.
