What's a fecal transplant?
00:00:01
>> You take a healthy person's poop and you
00:00:03
transfer it into the person who's sick.
00:00:06
For example, a patient of mine took an
00:00:07
antibiotic which wipes out your gut
00:00:09
which became life-threatening. And so I
00:00:11
delivered the fecal transplant to her.
00:00:13
By the next day, the entire infectious
00:00:15
issue got shut down. So this is a great
00:00:18
example to show how important our gut
00:00:20
microbiome is because 60% of the weight
00:00:22
of your stool is your microbiome.
00:00:24
Really? Yes. But the modern world and
00:00:26
the way in which we live is damaging our
00:00:28
gut and it manifests in these subtle
00:00:30
ways like bloating, increased fatigue,
00:00:32
difficulty concentrating, you don't
00:00:34
sleep well at night, skin issues. So it
00:00:36
flies under the radar but ultimately
00:00:38
leads to other health related problems
00:00:40
afterwards.
00:00:40
>> So I've got so many questions.
00:00:42
>> Totally.
00:00:42
>> What's the cause of bloating?
00:00:43
>> So constipation is the number one cause,
00:00:46
but people who are bloated, please don't
00:00:48
sip through straws, drink carbonated
00:00:50
drinks, chew on gum, because you just
00:00:52
make it worse. Next, are there decisions
00:00:54
that you make as a parent that will have
00:00:56
a lasting impact on a kid's gut
00:00:57
function?
00:00:58
>> Yeah, by 3 years of age, you are
00:01:00
basically fully adult-sized in terms of
00:01:01
your microbiome. But antibiotics, bottle
00:01:03
feeding, and birth by cesarian section
00:01:05
are associated with an impact on the
00:01:07
microbiome, such as an increased risk of
00:01:09
allergic, autoimmune, and metabolic
00:01:11
diseases. And I'll explain why.
00:01:13
>> And then, can I repair the gut?
00:01:15
>> Yeah, 100%. And every 3 to 5 days, you
00:01:17
build a new gut barrier. And so I've
00:01:19
identified four things missing in our
00:01:21
diet as well as a daily routine that can
00:01:23
optimize our microbiome. And when you do
00:01:24
these, you will live longer and you will
00:01:26
have less disease. And I'm going to take
00:01:27
you through all of these steps right
00:01:29
now.
