Many of us don't realize just how much the food we eat affects our gut microbiome. These tiny organisms play a huge role, and without them, we would not be who we are. We'll dive into the symbiotic relationship between our bodies and these gut bacteria, highlighting the importance of nurturing them through our dietary choices. Understanding what these microbes are and how they function can guide us in providing the right nutrients for a healthy and diverse microbiome, which is a key step in optimizing our overall health. This video will showcase practical ways to improve your gut health and, by extension, your overall well-being.

Our Symbiotic Bacterial Community0:38 – 6:29

Pradip JamnadasHost

0:38

And the trouble is that most of us don't even know that we have a microbiome.

Pradip JamnadasHost

0:41

Do you have a microbiome? Of course you do.

Pradip JamnadasHost

0:44

How many cells are there in your body right now? How many cells are there? Take a guess.

Pradip JamnadasHost

0:51

10 trillion, right? 10 trillion cells.

Pradip JamnadasHost

0:53

How many bacteria are there in your body right now? Right now, as we speak?

UnknownUnknown

1:00

100 trillion.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:02

So you are made up more of bacteria than you are of human cells, except that your bacteria are real tiny, but there's more.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:08

Now imagine that each bacteria has a genome as well, a DNA.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:14

So now they have genes.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:15

So let me ask you, how many genes do you have? You're a human being.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:21

About 21,000.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:22

Oh, I mean, right? I mean, sorry, 2,000.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:26

It's nothing.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:28

Very few genes.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:29

In fact, the fly has more genes than you have.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:33

No, no, that's a fact.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:35

The worms have more genes than you have.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:39

How many genes are there if you take all your bacteria in your gut and put them together? Take a guess.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:49

About 4 million.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:51

So the question is why? Did you ever ask yourself why the bacteria are there? How did they even get there? When you're born, you don't have bacteria inside your gut.

Pradip JamnadasHost

1:59

You're born pretty much sterile, aren't you? But all those bacteria get over there.

Pradip JamnadasHost

2:04

Why do they go over there? Oh, it's to find a nice place to go live in, right? Nature does not make any mistakes.

Pradip JamnadasHost

2:12

Nature always has an ultimate reason why it does everything.

Pradip JamnadasHost

2:15

If it puts so many trillion bacteria inside you, and you're alive and you're not yet dead, there's a reason for it.

Pradip JamnadasHost

2:22

But we never asked ourselves what the reason for these bacteria in our gut is.
