Be careful ⚠ Attributing everything to the gut is a slippery slope. I've seen many people chase gut health because they were 100% convinced that other symptoms were rooted in the gut. But there are other important things that can contribute to unwanted symptoms. Stress, sleep quality, exercise (or lack thereof), nutritional adequacy, and toxic exposures, to name a few. Unfortunately, in recent years, everyone is screaming "all disease begins in the gut" so loudly that many of us forget about these other aspects of health. Also, remember that non-specific symptoms like fatigue and brain fog wind up on EVERY symptom list. For example, they can be symptoms of Iron deficiency, B vitamin deficiency, hypothyroidism, "adrenal fatigue," stress, or virtually any inflammatory and/or autoimmune processes. We don't want to mislead people into thinking that everything can be remedied via the gut. I'm passionate about it, but even gut health isn't the whole enchilada.

I love your channel Zoe! Can't keep up with all the healthy information

For 40 years I struggled with severe gut issues untill I met an Ayurvedic physician! Within a week everything was ok and ever since I have perfect bowlmovements. Her advice like you often say more greens, beans legumes very small ammounts of fish, meat, but no fermented foods. All depends on your dosha constitution according to a 5000 year old and recognized health system. Maybe it's worth to make a podcast on this subject.

As a person who comes from the land of Ayurveda and the place where the world’s first surgery was done. (Kerala, India) Ayurveda is not entirely a pseudoscience.

I grew up being told how going for a poop daily is important and that gave me bad feelings as an adult if I did not go for one day. But really this degree of mindfulness has been helpful too in reading my gut process and improving my diet.

BLUE STOOL. You can also eat BEET to check the gut transit time. The stool will stain the toilet water red if you are the runny or "sofie". And, if you are the constipated type... the stool will be reddish!

How was the blue muffins made in terms of ingredients like white flour or I know the yeast, gluten and sugar surely has in it again just not good for our gut. .Is it not better then just eat lots of fruit like blueberry.? But for me this podcast was very beneficial as I struggle with chronic migraine and I was surprised to hear that unhealthy gut can cause migraine. Thank you ZOE for putting up extremely useful videos. I joined to ZOE since " COVID". and I like the way the presenter rups up at ends. But I knew the biggest problem given to our body is stress which can make our gut unhealthy too. But thanks for ❤

I'm still amazed we (the heath community) have not come up with a cocktail of identified super-beneficial bacteria that can be given as a "spritz" into the lower colon. Should be a standard procedure after every colonoscopy.

Pls do a video on ibs and low Fodmap diets

Wow, the published paper was interesting. Thanks.

I think Transit time using simple things like corn/ beets/red wine etc. could be easily validated by using blue dye and corn/ beets simultaneously in the lab. Personally, I would prefer red wine over any of the other options 😜. Love your podcasts, thanks for all the work you and your guests put in to inform and educate us!

Following on from this - I didn't catch how long should gut transit take normally, also results of blue poo from Zoe study.

0:09: 🧪 A healthy gut is important for fighting disease, providing energy, and boosting mood, and can be identified by a good balance of microbes. 3:40: 🔑 The gut microbiome is connected to various aspects of human health beyond digestion, including food intolerances and bowel movements. 6:43: 😔 Toilet training can evoke feelings of shame and failure, leading to concerns about traumatizing children. 10:06: 🦠 Dysbiosis is an imbalance in the bacteria in the digestive tract, resulting in a lower diversity of beneficial gut microbes and an increase in inflammatory or non-beneficial gut microbes. 13:47: 🔬 The speaker discusses the importance of validating gut microbiome testing in a clinical setting. 16:43: 🌱 Taking steps towards a healthier gut through diet and lifestyle choices is essential for human health. 19:48: 🔍 The speaker finds the results of a study on gut transit time fascinating, particularly the connections between gut transit time, microbiome, and cardiovascular risk.

Isn't the color blue a toxic chemical? Why couldn't we just use Activated Charcoal? I have used it in the past and found it is dark black going in (capsule form) and my stool turns dark black and very noticable when it comes out the other end. Plus it is great for absorbing toxics we consumed. It is my understanding that charcoal has been used for centuries in removing toxics or poisonings.
