'How to Enhance Your Gut Microbiome for Brain & Overall Health | Huberman Lab Podcast #61'

01:52:15 Apr 17, 2023
'In this episode, I discuss the profound effect the gut has on the nervous system. I cover the structure and function of the gut-brain axis and the role of the gut microbiome in the brain and overall health. I describe how the gut controls hunger or satiety by affecting neurons in our brain. I also contrast the many pathways by which the gut influences the brain: direct vs. indirect pathways, chemical vs. mechanical, and fast vs. slow signaling. Additionally, I discuss what defines a healthy microbiome and how your lifestyle impacts the gut microbiome, including the effects of stress, fasting, antibiotics, pets, environment, prebiotics and probiotics. I address how different foods shape the gut microbiome, in particular, the emerging data that fermented foods can increase the diversity of healthy gut microbiota.  Throughout the episode, I explain peer-reviewed and textbook findings that reveal the critical role of the gut microbiome in supporting mental and physical health and I outline simple tools that anyone can use in order to enhance their gut microbiome health.  #HubermanLab #GutHealth #Microbiome  Thank you to our sponsors AG1 (Athletic Greens): https://athleticgreens.com/huberman  LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman  InsideTracker: https://insidetracker.com/huberman  Our Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/andrewhuberman  Supplements from Thorne https://www.thorne.com/u/huberman  Social & Website Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab Twitter - https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab Website - https://hubermanlab.com Newsletter - https://hubermanlab.com/neural-network  Article Links \"The Emerging Biology of Gut-Brain Sensory Transduction\": https://bit.ly/3HruBiE \"Mechanisms Underlying Microbial-Mediated Changes in Social Behavior in Mouse Models of Autism Spectrum Disorder\": https://bit.ly/3hmq5Y2 \"Association of Loneliness and Wisdom With Gut Microbial Diversity and Composition: An Exploratory Study\": https://bit.ly/3spfYs2 \"Emotional well-being and gut microbiome profiles by enterotype\": https://go.nature.com/3tcLKYp \"Brain fogginess, gas and bloating: a link between SIBO, probiotics and metabolic acidosis\": https://bit.ly/33YlsR9 \"Gut-microbiota-targeted diets modulate human immune status\": https://bit.ly/3vlkQQD \"The preference for sugar over sweetener depends on a gut sensor cell\": https://go.nature.com/33X9zuA  Book Links \"The 4-Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything and Living the Good Life\": https://amzn.to/3hqxkP0  Timestamps 00:00:00 Gut Microbiome   00:03:02 AG1 (Athletic Greens), LMNT, InsideTracker  00:06:55 Your Gut-Brain Axis  00:09:44 Gut-Brain Anatomy 00:15:32 Microbiota vs. Gut Microbiome  00:20:01 Roles of Gut Microbiome  00:23:03 Neuropod Cells: (Subconscious) Tasting with Your Stomach  00:34:13 Ghrelin: Slow Modulation of Your Brain in Hunger 00:38:02 Glucagon Like Peptide 1; GLP-1  00:42:22 Tools: ‘Free Will’ & Food Cravings  00:44:46 Mechanical Cues from Gut to Brain 00:49:05 Dopamines, Vomiting  00:52:06 Indirect Signals from Gut Microbiota 00:59:30 Gut Microbiome “Critical Periods”   01:03:08 How Gut Health Controls Overall Health  01:12:25 What is a Healthy Gut Microbiome? 01:15:00 Tools: Enhance Your Gut Microbiome 01:23:49 Foods to Enhance Microbiota Diversity; Fermented Foods  01:37:07 High-Fiber Diets & Inflammation 01:40:58 Artificial & Non-Caloric Sweeteners  01:44:27 Structure & Function of Gut-Brain Axis  01:49:47 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Patreon, Thorne, Instagram, Twitter, Neural Network Newsletter   Please note that The Huberman Lab Podcast is distinct from Dr. Huberman\'s teaching and research roles at Stanford University School of Medicine.
