Topics: - Atrantil and Atrantil Pro - Dr. Brown’s recently-launched, daily supplement pack for SIBO - A follow-up to Dr. Dempsey’s episode: Microbiome deep dive - Polyphenols are used by gut microbes to produce smaller beneficial, anti-inflammatory metabolites that the body uses to maintain optimal health. - These metabolites have a range of benefits: gut motility, inflammation, brain health, immune health, and more - A poor microbiome (ie. dysbiosis) leads to harmful metabolites - The microbiome takes a little time to build up and diversify - Large & stable polyphenols are metabolized by the microbiome to produce metabolites we commonly supplement with such as quercetin. Therefore, a restored microbiome will provide you with those metabolites without needing to supplement. - “Sporebiotics” vs. Probiotics - How exactly do sporebiotics work? - Sporebiotics are emerging and could be an ultimate gut health biohack - You can buy hundreds of supplements OR you can optimize your gut and get the same benefits - Genetic diversity of the gut microbiome - Fecal microbial transplant research - Rebuilding the gut microbiome - We share our microbiota with those around us! - The effect of “polyphenols vs. polyphenols + exercise” on the microbiome - Sporebiotics don’t work like probiotics and, therefore, might be okay to use even in SIBO cases - The microbiome is the key to unlocking the potential of your supplements - Dr. Brown’s 1 piece of advice for health and happiness
