I suffered with Crohn’s disease for 20 something years. When I changed my diet to plants and fermented food I was completely able to come off any medications. Now 13 years later with no flare ups or even a tummy ache this says it all 😊

Do you eat rice? I've got crohns too..do u drink coffee with sugar?

just over a year ago, i started intermittent fasting. i had to adjust my start/stop times a few times to have a good 8 hour eating window. i learned that it's easier for me to be hungry at night. in the morning, it clouds my mind to have food to look forward to while hungry. for the first month or so, being hungry at night was frustrating and uncomfortable. i don't even think about it now. the hunger that we feel at that point isn't real hunger. I also added a bit of Andrew Huberman morning and evening routine; i go to bed at the same time and wake early at the same time. every day. and another Huberman - viewing sunlight. this year, i will add consistent fiber and fermented foods to the trifecta. the three alone improved my mood and well being so much that i can now look forward to repairing my gut this year. if you're on the fence, start small. have an accountability buddy (a friend and i still send a photo of our view or anything first thing and best if there's sun exposure involved).

An accountability friend is a good idea.

One of the greatest episodes IMHO. It was very well explained how surges in sugar levels are harming us. I have also heard first time about surges of fat levels after eating and that this event takes 5-6h, so actually eating a typical ultraprocessed food full of sugar and fat causes 2 spikes in our blood and both lead to inflamations. It is also explaining why more and more specialists promote restricted time feeding. Thank you very much for those podcasts!

I am in the middle of the episode and loving it. We need to be patient to follow the conversation and logic. There is no simple answer to health matters. Jonathan, when you told Will that only a gastrologist could see our gut/intestines ideally as clear as a river, I went entirely with Will. Having done more than five colonoscopies because colitis; the last one, the practice said that my images were showing pink and bright (not opaque), and he would not have believed that I had colitis if he had not seen the old exams. I was happy as a child, as I had passed one year changing my diet, waiting three months without symptoms to stop medication. Well, I changed my diet before Zoe, but I now follow you guys because it goes with the principles that are putting me in remission (now for three years without medication). Keep going; what you are doing is a hard job. I try to share my experience with friends about my pinky gut and at least five veg and fruits per day; nobody gives much importance; people think it is not a big deal. Well, we hopefully will get there. Best wishes.

I’ve listened to a ton of Zoe podcasts and this is one of my absolute FAVORITES.

I love the format and content of these Zoe podcasts! And this one is amongst my favourites! ❤ Fascinating! It makes all connections at a very simple level (thank you Johnathan for wrapping up and simplifying the information) as well as providing clear more in-depth scientific explanations. I don’t have a problem with my attention span beyond 2 minutes, so I thoroughly enjoy a 1 hour talk especially about something that I am truly interested. I fully agree with the comment that we are all very diverse. Thank you Zoe for producing these wonderful podcasts! ❤ please keep making them!

Excellent podcast, one of the best in an already great library of important topics. The topic of inflammation and its hidden dangers should be part of the mainstream conversation on health and this podcast should be compulsory viewing for everyone. Thanks Tim and Jonathan and everyone at Zoe for bringing us these important insights in a format and language that is easily understandable for all of us

Hi Jonathan, wonderful interview again. I absolutely love these videos and I listen repeatedly! I often rewind some parts of the conversations to try to really understand (I'm not the brightest - especially the first time round)!! I just wanted to say thanks to you for being such a good interviewer and for steering the conversations so incredibly well. You are also very good at summarising and explaining in lay terms when you sense the conversation may be confusing and becoming a little technical for some of us! Keep up the good work. I'm battling inflammation and this has been very helpful. Thankyou.

I'm becoming a big fan of these videos from Zoe. Of course, I understand that there is a company behind them but the free content they release is great. I really enjoyed this subject as I have found it difficult to understand previously but not now. Johnathan has a fantastic skill in summarising the content. I would like to have heard chronic stress mentioned, though.

They should also discuss slow gut motility despite having adequate fibre intake - which could actually be the result of chronic stress. If you have slow gut motility with methane producing microbes, adding more fibre will only make the situation worse. Fibre is only beneficial if your plumbing works properly, otherwise you might end up with bowel obstruction or overgrowth of bacteria in your small intestines.

Brilliant interview & discussion - super useful & very actionable. Huge thanks to all three of you. 👍👍👍

Dr Spector - thank you very much to you and your colleagues for this session. I was a dentist for 50 years and when I was doing postgraduate studies at Indiana University during 1964-66 my MSD project and thesis was looking at inflammation in the dental pulp. Of course I undertook a considerable amount of reading round the subject and at that time your father was publishing on the subject and I used his technique of using Indian ink to show the location of capillary leakage. I have been interested in inflammation (and of course (as a dentist - 'deadly sugar')) ever since. This session has confirmed my understanding and brought it up to date. Many Thanks - I definitely should not have had the slice of Stollen that I brought up to my study with my (unsweetened) coffee to view the session‼😟

Thank you. I find your podcasts very informative and interesting. This information has really helped me and has changed my life for the better. I have never felt better. Thank you so much. I wish Zoe memberships were available in Canada.

I find it fascinating that as I listen I can mentally replace the word “inflammation” with “soil stress” and replace the word “gut” with “soils” and words replace “fast food/sugars” with whole plant/manure/compost inputs, the discussion can then be interchanges as a Plant Health/Edaphic Stress/Natural Inputs discussion, fascinating🐸 It all starts with how food is grown🐸excellent discussion❤️thank you❤️🐸

People need to hear more of you Guys.

Great presentation. Thanks to all three of you:) I have taken up Tim's challenge to set a goal to eat each week, a diet that is largely plant-based, that includes nuts and seeds, and fermented foods, whole grains etc. that contains a variety of 30 different foods. This week, I have been keeping track and have at the end of day six, counted 51 different foods (16 different types of veg, 7 different types of fruit, 5 different type of nuts, 4 different types of seeds, 2 different types of cheese, Greek style plain yoghurt, Sauerkraut, 5 different types of whole grains, tofu, eggs, fish, and a small amount of meat, etc.). I didn't think this was possible but got a very pleasant surprise. Thank you Tim!

Another great video, thoroughly interesting, look forward to the next one.

I am truly surprised that Covid/Long Covid was not raised within this podcast relating to inflammation and damaged gut biom etc.

Thankyou for this excellent illuminating podcast, quite simply it joined all the dots for me.

Another excellent episode. People so underestimate dangers of snacking and of valuing their gut flora.

Could you please do a blog or podcast about non- alcoholic fatty liver disease? So many people have it and it’s not that easy to get information regarding what dietary changes are needed to reduce risks. 😊

As a retired mucosal immunologist, I am totally onboard with your scientific discussion. The only thing I am missing is that our immune system is not just a defensive system. Rather it is a decision making machinery which discriminates between active tolerance of harmless and defence against harmful substances . Recognising harmless substances such as food is just as important as defence.

Love the clarity of Johnathon's summary.

I can't get enough of these podcasts. The knowledge is eye opening and empowering. Thank both doctors for sharing. My nerdy side is curious about the difference in diets between the UK and USA. Are there as many gastro cases in the UK as the US? Btw, the accents are a lovely delight, gentleman. Again, thank you for sharing such knowledge. May you reach billions and billions!

Thank you so much for your videos. I find them so helpful and they make me think about what I eat.

Just love this …new year new me and new gut health 🙌🙌

I love listening to Will and thank you for remembering us with Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis who cannot do all of Tim's suggestions.

My inflammatory is 21 I had blood tests because I woke up last march with my hands that swollen they looked like crab crawls. My hands are so stiff and hurt so bad. I get up every morning around 5 am but by 12pm I am done because of the pain. It totally drains me. I am having to take three power naps. I started taking ibuprofen and it helped. I was referred to consultant who said it wasn't inflammatory arthritis. This is also effecting my eyes I am having to use eye drops continuously because they are so dry my eyelids stick to my eyes. It hurts to open my eyes. All this started straight after I had the covid vaccine. I had a major reaction. Straight away pins and needles and chronic pain in the shoulder. Within seconds every gland in my body popped up. My glands became so swollen I couldn't put my arms down my side or close my thighs. My health went down hill fast. It took 8 months fit my glands to go down. Then what followed was a severe chest infection that wouldn't go I had six courses of antibiotics. I was advised to not have any more vaccines. Which I haven't. My hands elbows and shoulders have severe stiffness and pain. Getting tendinitis tennis elbow and painful shoulders. I feel like I am done. Pain relief isn't working. Pains so bad it's making me miserable because I am not sleeping properly. I fall asleep and wake up frozen my joints feel like I have to crack them to move. I obviously don't move in my sleep and set. Pain is ruining my life. I pulled some weeds up yesterday and today my hand is just pins and needles. No matter what I do I irritate my hands and arms. I just want to get well

Thank you for another very informative and interesting ZOE podcast. In the future can you do a podcast on Barrett' esophagus, symptoms and cause and foods to eat and avoid. I enjoy watching you three and the information in ZOE podcast. Thank you🙏

Absolutely brilliant love listening to you all ❤❤❤

One of the best Zoe podcasts ever. As you said Will “ fantastic”. Please branch out Zoe to Australia and New Zealand. Will I always laugh at your naive questions asking on our behalf.

Chronic inflammation in your body can be a mental dysfunction that causes anxiety (in my case), depression, etc but also in other parts of the body where the inflammation is a result of the brain sending the wrong signals out. The main benefit I got from following health/nutrition advice turned out to be by reducing total fibre (causing constipation) and cutting down on sugars, highly processed food and most grains (whole and refined) and having more fatty fish, like salmon and fermented foods - kefir, yoghurt and sauerkraut.

I eat a great variety of plants everyday, but clearly not enough fermented foods. Thanks for this info!

As always, really interesting. It's frustrating because I do know this stuff but the bad habits creep back insidiously. However, I do love fermented foods and can make them myself. I grow a lot of my own greens (brassicas) and other veggies. Many can be grown through the winter months where I live so they are organic. It's really easy. I just have to do it. Really enjoy your podcasts!!

An excellent video thanks!

So Many thanks to you all

I was lucky, I grow up on old style farm, then in the late 1960s the Industrial agriculter moved in and within a few years, the land around us started to chaged, alonge with this came a shift in the food quality and output. I moved to London, it became quite a challenge to find foods I cold eat quicly, fast foods...because I worked in the entertainment industry. I started to search for foods, which would help. I came across a number of ideas, some worked well. One book really opend my mind. Pur White and Deadly by John Yudkin. I have not drunk Soft drinks, Coke, Pepsi or others kinds of soft drinks since the early 80s and stay-away from quick fix dinners. In fact, I have spending more time outdoors, Hunting, Fishing, searching for wild and grown food. I studied a number of Hunter-gathering groups in Canada. Lastly, I am lucky to have a Spanish wife and we spend a lot of time preparing Mediterranean foods.

Another great podcast. @ZOE I just watched "You are what you eat" and am going to try out the 8 week vegan plant based diet myself to see what the results are. Only thing is I don't have access for all the tests that were done but will def see how I feel physically and mentally! Are there any programs that is available through ZOE that is similar to what they did in the short series on Netflix? Id be interested in signing up~

I have just started an experiment: I have set 2 alarms on my phone. At 1600 I get an alarm message "Eating window opening" and at 1830 a second alarm "Eating window closing". This gives me 30 minutes to finish off before 1900 when I'm on water only until 1600 (some cups of black coffee in the morning, but that's it). This might be a good idea for some people. ⏰ ☕

Love this topic! food is medicine ❤

High levels of stress and pain triggered most likely my leaky gut symptoms. However my doctor found also helicobacter and gave me antibiotics that hurt more. So I stopped taking them and bought probiotics instead. I also kept eating the same food as before, but no alcohol, I ate only two meals per day instead of three and the last one around 6 pm. But the real difference for me was the 10% milk that I started drinking every day for two years. I also took active charcoal every now and then, plus vitamins. It took me almost two years to slowly heal, but I am like before now. Not sure this might help someone, but I just wanted to bring it up as one who suffered a lot. I do not care what they say about milk, but if you feel it helps keep going.

On reflection, all my life ie since being born in the late 1970s i have craved and experienced fermented foods and still do. So interesting reflections, thanks for this video.

FINALLY! Someone on a Zoe talk acknologes those of us who have Crohns or Ucerative Colitis. It feels as if you studiously choose to ignore those of us who have these chronic inflamatoty bowel diseases.

As somone with Brain Tumors, Ankylosing, inflamatory arthritis, previous high blood presure and type 2 I cut everything but meat and it stopped most of the inflamation no carbs other than meat or animal products and high animal fats has totaly changed the amount of inflmatory issues I suffer with. No alcohol buttter coffees and eating once a day so my body has a chance to recover. Had vegan low fat pushed at me to find out it was literally killing me.

It is almost like there is a herbivore agenda to try to emulate the non-inflammatory carnivore diet with a plant based survival basket. The meat-based way of eating is far more ancestrally appropriate, with the hunt, kill, and roasting of food followed by a feast - eating until satiated. A herbivore consumes the nutritionally sparse foods throughout the day, but we are not well adapted to consume plants.

Thank you all.

My sense is that inflammation is basically a fight or flight response from the body which is no longer needed but has not been let go of. It's like the body just can't calm down and overreacts to everything inappropriately. I think this is completely tied together with emotions and past trauma.

Fascinating and encouraging but an example of how an average daily diet could include fermented foods would be great! For example, if one ate greek yoghurt for breakfast, sauerkraut in a sandwich for lunch and a kimchi condiment to dinner would that be enough?

This video does not substitute medical advice, you need medical exams to know if you have gut inflammation or not. I DO have for the last 16 years, many ulcerative colitis flare ups and this last one lasts for 5 months now. I do not know how to tackle it, I take tons of anti-inflammatories. Doctors do not know about proper diets for IBD aka inflammatory bowel disease. Dr B knows à lot about it. In serious cases fibers must be introduced very- very gradually. If you think your gut is inflamed (though it has symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea/constipation or bloody stools), eat REAL food and FULL STOP for any junk food or ultraprocessed foods!

WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASE. Cut out all animal, dairy, sugars, take away junk and processed junk, exercise and you be gaining more than you loose on junk goods.

Sounds sustainable!

I can confirm that inflammation of the gut Can overtax your immune system to the point that it is unable to deal with other problems in your body. a few years back, I was taking a couple of anti allergy medications and I forgot to consume some food prior to swallowing them, And after a few years my intestines were suffering from colitis and I had also an irritation of the stomach. this meant that when I later developed an ear infection and some other infections in other parts of my body, my immune system could not fight them off including chronic diarrhea until I was able to get the gut inflammation under control.

I intermittent fast for 24 hours and I can think so clearly. If I eat within the morning, I often cannot think straight and feel I am within a fog. I am so tired in the morning, it feels as though I haven't slept, and need to sleep a few more hours. When I fast, I do not have these issues!

I would like to know how someone with inflammatory bowel disease/colitis can improve their fibre in take without causing themselves huge issues. This is all so interesting and helpful, but I can’t find out anywhere what people suffering with these issues can do? I tried to join your diet plan but received the notification that you hadn’t quite worked this out yet. I would be very interested to be part of some sort of trial to help others with the same sort of issues as myself.

This video couldn't be more timely for me. I just entered the perimenopause phase. I feel that my body has been inflamed everyday, not only when I got my period. My body is sore all over the place. I am 'tired but wired'. I have dificulties in remembering things, which have not been happenned to me before. Thank you Zoe, because I need this video more than ever🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. In summary, how to reduce inflamation: 1) Eat fermented food Several portions a day (How???😭). 2) Eat 30 types of plant per week. 3) Intermittent fasting. - Do not eat for at least 14 hours. - Stop eating at least 4 hours before sleep. 4) Sufficient sleep. 5) Exercise. Resistance training to build muscle (at least 3x per week) with cardio in between.

Very interesting Have had IBS for about 25 years but recently in the past 4 weeks its been better but i now have an inflamed lymph gland which was just checked for cancer at the hospital and thank God it was not. Could this be connected to my gut getting better?

Thanks a lot for your advice. I really want to encourage my family members to increase their intake of fermented foods this year. However, they are concerned about some doctors giving out advice about the fermented vegetables and kimchi may lead to a high incidence of stomach cancer in Korea, China and Japan. Should we be worried about this? Thanks

I think those leading intros have the opposite effect of what you want. When I hear "if you just do one thing..." and you don't give the answer, I click through the video trying to find the answer. When I can't find it, I say "fuck it", and close the video.

It would have been great to at least mention what fermented foods are and give some examples.

An hour long video primarily on the benefit of fermented foods on inflammation without actually specifying what options there are for fermented foods or which are the best. Unless I really zoned out. 🙄 I think of fermentation, I think of liquor, and I'm guessing a diet of wine is not what you're referring to. Now I have to go do a general internet search and hope I get good info. The one guy quickly mentioned yogurt, but despite not being lactose intolerant yogurt quickly gives me a bad stomach ache, so hopefully there are other options.

So ive been both a heavy meat eater and plant based. I do notice the pain is totally different during my period depending on what im eating. I ended up going back to eating mostly plants fiber, and meat a few times a week verses everyday because i had the worst pain during my period eating a diet heavier in meat. Why? Because like the doc said saturated fat can hang around in the body and creates inflammation and it makes total sense. Try onmy eating meat a few times a week and increase your veggie and fruit intake, lentils are great , chic peas, quinoa.

@@PardieDiem I am in Switzerland and ordered the brand Butycaps from Spain of a recommendation. I took the granular one, if I remember well 8g per day. But really the taste is awful. I think there are caps too, but with gelatin, which I can’t eat. I took it for 3 months. Improvement after 2-3 weeks.

Some gems in her. IF has been very good to me.

Given the recurring theme of "more fermented foods", I wonder if ZOE had insights into what microbiome is like in Korea and Japan, and how different it is to Europe and USA. Korea and Japan have plenty fermented foods (kimchi, nato, miso, and so on), eat lots of plants and vegetables, but also indulge in ultra-processed foods, not to mention alcohol and tobacco way beyond what is acceptable in Europe. And still Korea and Japan have life expectancy well beyond us.

Traditionally, they had much lower rates of colon cancer, but higher rates of stomach cancer due to the presence of virulent forms of H. pylori bacteria.

Unfortunately SK and Japan many (especially younger people) are increasing their diets to more unhealthy western junk/fast food and this is slowly reducing their life expectancy

It is better however it is not the ideal. They still have higher obesity rates than they should. From what we know from science - we shouldn't be eating processed foods at all. We should be focusing on a diet close to keto, paleo, or Mediterranean. Veggies, fruit, protein (meat, seanfood, eggs), healthy fats, nuts, and seeds, some legumes, very little grains. This is the best diet- want to go even further fasting and low carb have amazing health benefits.

40:46 Great that Dr B gives hope to those who struggle with gut issues but I wonder whether there is any hope for those of us who’s gut micro biome has been totally trashed by gut surgery and associated antibiotics. Perhaps close to a ‘sterile’ environment? Are there any studies on re-establishing a beneficial micro biome within this cohort I wonder?

I’ve been following the carnivore lifestyle for over three ears now. I started by cutting sugar, then milk and cheese. That cut some joint pain, my postman’s heel and got rid of my chronic hayfever, sinus issues and eczema. Yen I got rid of grains, starting with wheat, barley and rye. That was huge, more joint pain went, my nerve pains, arthritis pain and inflammation and IBS went away. Then I turned to the carnivore diet and it has been the game-changer. I became stronger, felt younger, my nerves are not bothering me any more, I don’t sunburn at all despite the fact that I’m working outside all day. My skin is no longer dry or itching at all and is softer. I have more stamina and endurance and feel 30 years younger. I’m 63 feeling 30 years young and I feel more alive than ever. I’ve been plant based in the past, vgetariarian, vegan and keto. My new lifestyle is working best for me and lots of other.😊
