Martha CarlinGUEST
She
Elizabeth WestfieldHOST
first learned about the microbiome in 2015 while looking into the Human Microbiome Project.
Elizabeth WestfieldHOST
It was a landmark initiative by the NIH to better understand the microbes living in and on the human body.
Martha CarlinGUEST
As human beings, we are an ecosystem that is made up maybe in larger part by the microbial cells in our body.
Jack GilbertGUEST
Uh, knowing it is, is virtually difficult.
Jack GilbertGUEST
I mean, I've been working in the indoor microbiome environment, the home microbiome and hospitals and offices and schools for about 20 years now.
Jack GilbertGUEST
Um, and we've constantly tried to try and identify mechanisms by which we could link the diversity of indoor bacteria to health outcomes, and it's actually quite tricky.
Jack GilbertGUEST
Um, 90% of all the bacteria you find in a building come from the occupants, from our skin.
Mathew LeonardiGUEST
And for those that are keen, please do have a look at the article.
Mathew LeonardiGUEST
It's called, the title, Endometriosis and the Microbiome, a Systematic Review.
Mathew LeonardiGUEST
And we're also working in this space academically, doing a study on it as well.
Mathew LeonardiGUEST
But that's to be seen.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
And this is where too, like we can go like into the weeds with like the definitions and like the different types of immune responses, but most, most things are going to fall into like an intolerance, which is a non-immune response.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
These are going to be more caused by like, I see these all the time and I'm sure you do Alexia, like enzyme digestive enzyme deficiencies, poor bioflow, we have liver detox issues, we have heavy metal, we have toxin overload, we have microbiome issues, we have just poor digestion, things are not working well.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
And so if we're not able to break down those foods, for ending up with things like leaky gut, this is where it can show up.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
like hours to days later too, so we can have a delayed response.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
So if things aren't working well, once again, that bucket is filling up.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
We see this, too, with a lot of pets that are on... carbohydrates, so high carb diets, whether that's, you know, kibble, kibble has to be like over 50% carbohydrates for just how it's processed and formed.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
But if we have a microbiome imbalance or a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or we have a sluggish GI tract, What can happen is those carbs can ferment.
Katie WoodleyGUEST
They're not being broken down if we're lacking digestive enzymes.
Emeran MayerGUEST
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 into-
Mark HymanHOST
Yeah
Emeran MayerGUEST
...
Mark HymanHOST
See Every Poop when I was at Canyon Ranch 'cause I used to look at stool tests all the time, and I wanted to see stool tests on every patient.
Mark HymanHOST
But you, you were-- you're an MD, you're a gastroenterologist, you're a scientist.
Mark HymanHOST
You've been studying the microbiome for a long time and, you know, you've written a, a book about it that we talked about on a previous podcast, which I'd, I'd recommend people listen to, The Mind-Gut Connection, uh, a really powerful book.
Mark HymanHOST
This is sort of a tenth anniversary edition that's come out, how hidden conversations within our bodies impact our mood, our choices, and our overall health.
Mark HymanHOST
And I think, you know, science has finally caught up with this 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 sclerosis.
Tracy GapinGUEST
It's to help you understand what does your body respond best to, what foods are right for your body, what foods are raw, what micronutrients might you need more of, how can you clear toxins, what medications might you be more sensitive or vulnerable to, what soft tissue injury risk do you have, stuff like that that you can learn from a cheek swab.
Tracy GapinGUEST
Microbiome, here's a big one.
Tracy GapinGUEST
We're not taught this in medical school.
Tracy GapinGUEST
The microbiome controls our whole body.
Tracy GapinGUEST
Microbiome has exponentially more DNA than our body does, and we don't ever look at that in traditional medicine.
Tracy GapinGUEST
But it controls neurotransmitters in your brain.
Tracy GapinGUEST
It controls hormone production.
Liz WattGUEST
Because that's what they're created to do, is to heal.
Liz WattGUEST
And so anyways, we'd end up writing a book called Healthy Gut, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, A Healthy Approach to the Microbiome.
Liz WattGUEST
And we decided we're going to do a presentation on how do we heal our gut and what are the things that we're doing in our everyday life that are taking away from it being healed.
Liz WattGUEST
And so we got up and as we were speaking, it was like people were so interested in what we had to say because they'd never heard of it.
Dan BuchananGUEST
And as I said, we're really trying to hunt the causes of early onset bowel cancer.
Dan BuchananGUEST
So with our program, we're going to look at the etiology or the causes, risk factors, mechanisms of tumorigenesis, different exposures, the microbiome.
Dan BuchananGUEST
and immune susceptibilities that we think are underlying early onset bowel cancer.
Dan BuchananGUEST
So putting that together as a nice acronym was Artemis, but also really taking that idea from Greek mythology around the goddess of the hunt.
Dan BuchananGUEST
we think that there's new environmental exposures and dietary factors that are contributing to it.
Dan BuchananGUEST
So what we're doing by bringing everyone together through Artemis is pooling together the resources that we have developed individually around the country.
Dan BuchananGUEST
And that'll enable us to, as I said, understand the mechanisms from what is a normal bowel to then becomes what's a pre-malignant to then how it develops into a cancer and understanding some of these particular aspects that might be driving that, such as the gut microbiome.
StephanieHOST
And studies, however, have shown modifiable and exposure risk factors associated with an increased risk of early-onset bowel cancer.
Vahab FarzanGUEST
Let's just leave it now here.
Vahab FarzanGUEST
And then what else about the pigs is important? Microbiome.
Vahab FarzanGUEST
So we go into the gut, it's microbial.
Vahab FarzanGUEST
What is the bacterial population in the gut in each pig? What is the diversity? How many bacterial species? Are they equal? Some of them, they are more frequent.
Deborah KadoGUEST
...
Deborah KadoGUEST
in the field of the gut microbiome.
Simon HillHOST
Microbiome Gut Project, I think he led.
Deborah KadoGUEST
Yeah, the American Gut Project.
Simon HillHOST
It was his work actually that, and some of the regular listeners will have heard this research discussed, where he looked at what predicted the greatest diversity in the microbiome, and it wasn't someone's specific dietary label.
