This is an incredible hour of a superbly clever funny man imparting knowledge lightly and seemingly easily. It’s hard to make this much cleverness sound effortless.
I had a conversation with the man in my head to make it clear I understood properly, normaly I just listen and try to remember: that's how good a communicator he is.
Thank you Zoe for having an actual gut surgeon share his experience for those of us who are still working on microbiome after having surgery and antibiotics. Have you ever considered running a small trial with a cohort selected from those with particularly poor Zoe gut scores and/or gut history to see how long it takes to see significant improvements?
I hope to see a podcast by Zoe on foods and plants that are good for gut health but have high oxalate level (almond, dark chocolate, coffee, etc.) and may result in kidney stone
This video really highlights the importance of the gut-brain connection and how our lifestyle choices impact gut health. It's fascinating to learn that the gut microbiome can respond to dietary changes within just 24 hours. Dr. Karen Rajan's insights on the slow, consistent approach needed to improve gut health are eye-opening. It's a reminder that quick fixes aren't the solution, and maintaining a healthy gut requires long-term commitment. Great content!
I’d love to talk with Doc about histamine intolerance. I know it’s a digestive issue, and I know we are taught to eat a wide variety of plants… however when I do this my digestive system gets messed up more so. When I cut out most plants, my digestive system and histamine response gets better.
Would love to see zoe researching what happens/ how to help people who in severe malnutrition/ trauma (war-torn countries, famines, epidemics etc). I feel like the planet / humanity would be best served by figuring out the MVP (most valuable player/ minimal viable product) to help in emergencies, chronic shortages etc
I am so glad you had Dr. Karan go back to the question on "holding in our farts!" We just need to know these things! It made me laugh the whole time but even that was welcome! Thank you, both!
Dear all. Loving the podcasts! Dr Karan was (perhaps surprisingly) cautious/negative about probiotic supplements. I wonder whether he and your other experts have a view on collagen supplements for joint health, hair, nails, etc? Thanks, Peter
Foods that affect mood. I feel that sugar does for me. If I have a lot I feel a bit energised, then tired and sometimes grumpy when I come down. Is it just me? Or my imagination? Or was it deliberately left out in order to stay on track? (I'm loving the podcasts btw. Thank you.)
I remember in the 80's as a nurse the number of exploratory surgeries that were done. What a wonderful thing CT scans and MRI's are. We did look after a lot of crohn and ulcerative colitis but IBS was something new when I heard of it 10 years ago.
I'm 47 and I've been vegan for 14 years. I eat mostly whole foods and I never take medication; I don't even keep painkillers at home. If I get a sports injury, or something like Covid, I simply rest, drink plenty of water, and have natural teas. I prefer to endure pain and fever rather than take anything that would mask the signs my body is giving me that something is wrong. Fortunately, since going vegan, all my period cramps have stopped, and I no longer get the occasional headaches. I'm also lucky that my mother raised us without relying on medicine. When we had a fever, she'd give us a bath or place a cold cloth on our foreheads. She never bought fizzy drinks, so I always hate the taste of it. She would read the ingredients of industrialised food, and tell us all the harmful ingredients it contained. She made us drink fermented milk for our gut health (she was already aware of the importance of gut bacteria in the 80s. I remember her saying antibiotics were terrible for gut bacteria). We didn't eat much meat, and she would cook soy meat for us. She never made pizza, burgers, or things like that. I also grew up with many rescued cats that we took in from the streets-some even slept on my face! As a result, I've never had any allergies or food intolerances, as far as I know, and I have no health issues. My energy is always high to the point I find hard to feel unhappy even in challenging times (unless I don’t sleep well for whatever reason)
It can't be said that ultra processed food doesn't directly affect our health. Even without in depth long term studies and evidence. The assumption is healthy assumption and it's one everyone should make
Dear sir I'm a COPD patient and I have gas bloating constipation severe stomach pain I can't walk around do any physical work my stomach hurts I'm on oxygen and nebulization please help
Start with the basics, elimination then fasting. Cut out dairy, gluten, all grains. Intermittent fasting for at least 12 hrs. Keep a journal see where you are in two weeks.
Would love a video on SIBO. I've struggled for years with it and spent so much money trying to heal from it. I had over 50 rounds of antibiotics before 18 😢 I'm glad I've learnt myself and my 9 year old has never had antibiotics. I've refused them from doctors over 10 times and he's recovered on his own always.
The sibling number science is definitely not true in my household, the eldest is absolutely fine, middle child has crohns and the youngest (me) has major issues with digestion and liver function 🙃
Thank you for this very interesting interview, as for many others you did before. However .... I have to say that you lost quite some credibility when you started announcing selling supplements, in the middle of the video. Supplements are something that can help, but are never ideal so .... everyday ?! This makes me question the validity of the information shared on your channel.
Don’t know the exact episode but this was covered at length with Dr Tim Spector and gastroenterologist Will Bulsiewicz. The episode is well worth seeking out.
Great item. However, the producer should try and curb the interviewer’s excesses. If I hear about his illness …and his toe….in further productions….Zoe and I will part compant
I've have friends that are, lets say, a bit "off". Their brains are not screwed on right. All three of them have gut issues. UC Chrones etc. I can't figure out if it's the brain that's messed up causing the gut issues or the gut issues causing the brain to get messed up. A quandary for sure. Sad ONe friend LIVES on antibiotics and had numerous surgeries for UC..uff
IBS occurs in colon where DAO and histamine are its greatest concentration. Too much histamine, and it does not take much, disrupts motility and coordinated MMC between small intestine + large intestine. Over time, the microbiome in colon changes and eventually permanently causing IBS.
I’ll say that for me. Pesticides on grains and most vegetables have really hurt my gut as of a few years ago. I switched to mostly meat based and been much better off. Same for rice that has been cooked and cooled for the restrained insulin effect etc.
@@SuperMrAndersen Meat mostly. Some eggs. Lot of the animal fats and tendons have all you need. I still also eat fermented vegetables tho as it doesn’t flare it up as much depending on what I get. Pickles tend to be fine. Same for kimchi etc but have to read ingredients. That said I had some pickled asparagus the other day and broke out in a rash from it. Crazy how some foods are processed or sprayed etc.
@@WooBunny Thanks for reply. Actually I love fruits and vegetables, but I cannot eat them now because of my condition. I have to adjust to my new diet without fresh fruits and vegetables 😞
@@SuperMrAndersen I haven’t. I do take magnesium, vitamin d and zinc too as supplements. I shouldn’t have any vitamin B issues due to eating more meat in general. Only thing that could be off is Vitamin K. But most rich items like spinach have high oxalates or pesticides chance. So I’d rather be a little low on those than be hurt.
It is a real shame to have to stop watching a very interesting piece because you just cannot bear the way the interviewer speaks. I mean what’s with the cadence of his speech? It’s like listening to a fifteen year old TikTok-addicted girl talking!
From annoying to distracting to interesting to not important: how my take on his way of speaking has evolved. Zoe content is much more valuable and riveting. I've become very interested in regional accents, though.
What an arrogant, self-important, and rude comment about an NHS bowel surgeon who must see thousands of patients. He didn't mention anything about the percentage of perforated ulcers that resulted in surgery.
He's spouting statements with no evidence frequently. Find it difficult to understand what Zoe's motivation was in bringing him on if not purely financial See his thoughts on barefoot shoes m.th-cam.com/users/shortsz8KbeG8Ihxw&ved=2ahUKEwih5cGekuOIAxUIbEEAHau-ExUQtwJ6BAgQEAE&usg=AOvVaw35hzEWuKmDPEyEXT4FqCFS
I prefer didactic delivery of the truth. Not question and answer . A narrator . Food flavouring is destroying the gut. Aborted baby makes food flavouring. Conspiracy of silence.

His book is very good. I recommend.

Please talk about Food's that we should Eat Everyday to Help and Heal our Gut.
Thank You

Great interview! More from this guy please
I love watching Dr Karen. Making number twos number one is my takeaway from this podcast.
Whoa! The antibiotic story is mind blowing. How fortunate to be able to hear that information. Thank you.
How is Gluten sensitivity effect on the microbiome and its importance?
Oh yay! Been waiting for Dr. Karan.
I’d love to talk with Doc about histamine intolerance. I know it’s a digestive issue, and I know we are taught to eat a wide variety of plants… however when I do this my digestive system gets messed up more so. When I cut out most plants, my digestive system and histamine response gets better.
Great video love your coverage on all of these topics. Kefir and fermented foods have changed my life 🫶🏻

Please more guests about gut health
This podcast was very informative thank you 👍👏🇦🇺
Please ask the Doctor what he eats for breakfast.
Thank You
I tried to google it but haven't found anything. I think best is to rotate healthy proteins and oatmeal. Diversity is key.
Idlis?

I heard recently that you shouldn’t use a mouthwash as it kills the physical start of digestion - the bacteria in the mouth.
I remember in the 80's as a nurse the number of exploratory surgeries that were done. What a wonderful thing CT scans and MRI's are. We did look after a lot of crohn and ulcerative colitis but IBS was something new when I heard of it 10 years ago.

What about if the pre and pro and post biotics make a big thing in their blurb about how they DO reach the gut?
Yes we knew about microbiome 25 yrs ago
Extremely interesting 🧐 ❤
It can't be said that ultra processed food doesn't directly affect our health. Even without in depth long term studies and evidence. The assumption is healthy assumption and it's one everyone should make
Fascinating
If there is the right food for a living being it will come to serve itself and flourish.

Truly enjoyable discussion and incredibly informative. I learnt a lot. Thanks

I'm glad I've learnt myself and my 9 year old has never had antibiotics.
I've refused them from doctors over 10 times and he's recovered on his own always.
So does that mean that the ZOE gut shot is a waste of money or might even be harmful?
And it’s sold in a plastic bottle!
Had the holding in a fart question while holding in a fart anyway. I'll watch this on the toilet now

so why was he given a broad spectrum anti biotic after surgery
Don’t know the exact episode but this was covered at length with Dr Tim Spector and gastroenterologist Will Bulsiewicz. The episode is well worth seeking out.
Maybe because they don't know what exactly microbe can get in the cut?

Sigh, I felt like I received very new or actionable information from this interview.
IBS occurs in colon where DAO and histamine are its greatest concentration. Too much histamine, and it does not take much, disrupts motility and coordinated MMC between small intestine + large intestine. Over time, the microbiome in colon changes and eventually permanently causing IBS.
What? There is no evidence that ultra processed food is harmful?
I won't watch it any further..
Great guest, pleb host
Food never touches our insides... and what about leaky gut syndrome when it actually does... in some way?
Dude has a funny conotation. He always stretches the last word of his sentences in eccentric way.
I love ZOE podcasts, but I dislike very much the way he speaks...
I’ll say that for me. Pesticides on grains and most vegetables have really hurt my gut as of a few years ago. I switched to mostly meat based and been much better off.
Same for rice that has been cooked and cooled for the restrained insulin effect etc.
Where are you getting your vitamins from?
@@SuperMrAndersen Meat mostly. Some eggs. Lot of the animal fats and tendons have all you need. I still also eat fermented vegetables tho as it doesn’t flare it up as much depending on what I get.

Do you ever check your vitamin panel for deficiency?

Climate change!!! Yes, sunny one day and raining the next. And then comes the vegan push as usual. Love that red meat and good fat - yum yum
Wish the presenter would stop Drooooooling his words, its really off-putting
Agree..
And it seems to be getting worse - perhaps too many greens 😄

You sound tense. Try vagus nerve stimulation to help with that
Seems unnecessarily nasty.
I like his accent!
Nobody operates on perforated ulcers commonly nowadays. Rubbish statement
And you’d know… how?
