Disclaimer: This information is to the best of my knowledge true, but I am human and live in a society with a culture and dogma and indoctrination. There are many examples throughout history of doctors believing what they did was helpful, but it wasn’t. And the opposite has happened where a doctor found a truth and nobody believed him/her until years after that doctor died. More importantly, everyone is different and everyone’s situation is different, whether that be their diet, genes, living situation, local environment, weather, profession, and hobbies. So what works for one person may not work for another. This health information is available for you to evaluate and choose if and how you want to apply it for your own body. This video and the comments do not represent a doctor patient relationship since I am not able to fully know your history, physical examination, lab results, and imaging. This information is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute providing medical advice or professional services. Most importantly, listen to your body. It tells you what it needs and lets you know how things are going. We did it together! I have been thinking about how to help our bodies heal for many years. My understanding of the whole picture finally clicked two nights ago after thinking really hard about the concepts I shared in the first two episodes and reading all of your comments where many people shared their insights, experiences, thoughts, and questions. With this collaborative effort, I feel like all the puzzle pieces came together in my mind. And here I share this knowledge with everyone. This episode is about the microbiome, a 100 trillion person party living inside each and everyone one of us. They are our friends. When they are healthy, they help us heal and be healthy too. The way to keep them healthy is to get enough whole-food plant-based foods with fiber, have a good flow of sodium through the body, sleep enough, and take care of our mental health. Two great resources on this topic are Alanna Collen's book, 10% human, and the following linked research paper on “The Gut Microbiome, Inflammation, and Salt-Sensitive Hypertension.“ 00:00 Intro and thank you for helping figure this out 02:30 What is the microbiome 06:09 How does the microbiome help us heal? 12:05 How to host a great party for the microbiome. 14:40 What foods have fiber in them? 18:45 How do you know if the microbiome is happy? 21:18 How to have a good mix of personalities at the party. 23:52 Antibiotic hand grenades 26:35 Food preservatives 28:51 Sodium flow through the body, the whole picture 34:37 Nature scene visualizer to understand sodium flow through the body 59:22 Listen to your body to have a good flow of sodium 1:00:50 Taking care of yourself takes care of your friends 1:04:16 Mindfulness and stress 1:06:08 Psychoactive substances 1:06:50 Socializing 1:08:25 Being out in nature 1:09:02 Having a dog 1:11:33 How to turn a bad party around into a happy party 1:14:54 You have the power to heal.
