What We Got Wrong About the Gut Microbiome (And What's Actually Right)

But but I think to see the microbiome as a the master translator in in our bodies that translates whatever goes on around us comes [music] into the diet and which comes to us through our mind because that goes down to the microbes as well. The microbes translate this information into the body's own language [music] and

if that translation has an end result of a pro-inflammatory neurodeenerative message then [music] that's what where the disease comes in. >> Welcome Emmer to the podcast again. It's good to [music] have you back. >> Thanks for inviting me, Mark. It's a pleasure, honor. >> Well, it's fun. It's fun to talk about poop, [laughter]

which is my favorite subject. Uh, [music] they used to call me Dr. Sever poop when I was at Canyon Ranch cuz I used to look at stool tests all the time and I wanted to see stool tests on every patient. But you you were you're an MD or gastronologist. You're a scientist. You've been studying the microbiome for

a long time. And you know, you've written a book about it that we talked about on a previous podcast which I' I'd recommend people listen to. The mind gut connection uh a really powerful book this is sort of a 10th anniversary edition that's come out how hidden conversations within our bodies impact our mood our choices and overall health

and I think you know science has finally caught up with the simple idea that what's happening in your gut is affecting every single system in your body and is related to almost every disease you can think of whether it's depression or dementia whether it's cancer or heart disease whether it's diabetes or multiple scerosis everything
