Candace Stevens Candace Stevens 5 years ago Absolutely fascinating. Our 12 year old was diagnosed by a psychiatrist at age four for small intestine bacterial overgrowth. We were able to manage his behavior and inattention through supplements until recently. We visited his regular pediatrician who literally tossed him a box of Strattera (ADD medication). He scoffed at the idea that our son's behavior was related to any stomach issues. Needless to say, we are headed to a different doctor. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Thank you for sharing. 1.1K WellBe by Adrienne Nolan-Smith getwellbe WellBe by Adrienne Nolan-Smith getwellbe 2 years ago So important considering that your gut microbiome impacts everything from your immune system to your skin to your brain function to your digestion, and even your mood and mental health. 414 duffman_au duffman_au 6 years ago A brilliant lecture... ahead of its time. Welcome to the new age.... No longer technological... but biological. +1 440 Dawn Angela Dawn Angela 6 years ago A brilliant eye opening video. I feel my whole life and behaviour has been determined by the state of my gut! 232 Eric Lancheres Eric Lancheres 5 years ago This is one of the best talks I have ever seen on gut microbes. Thank you very much! 293 Henry Morgan Henry Morgan 3 years ago Overall, the professor's lecture was informative. But, he neglected to mention the natural presence of fungi in the human gut and how the human body seeks to strike a balance of friendly bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, and fungi. When a period of prescribed antibiotics results in a decimation of all of the bacteria in the gut, it causes a fungal or "yeast" overgrowth which really drives cravings for processed foods containing sugar. 195 Atturnec360 Performance Atturnec360 Performance 1 year ago Definitely a lecture to revisit time and time again. Prof. Simon, Thank you! 35 Thomas Valentine Thomas Valentine 5 years ago We as humans still need to fight our cognitive dissonance in order to accept this knowledge. It is unfair how big companies with only profit in their minds are keeping us in a way of „get pill and get well“. This presentation shows clear, that „eat well and feel well“ is the way. 229 Richie C Richie C 6 months ago I've had chronic bronchitis and doctors gave me so much antibiotics that I know have destroyed my gut. Since then I've been taking probiotic supplements and have improved in the last 15 years. Friends even tell me I look younger. Great lecture. Be sure to watch this and learn and adapt. It will improve almost everything in your life. 38 Summer CLP Summer CLP 4 months ago Great teaching , thanks a lot. I’m healing my gut and this info helps a lot. Bone broth is also something that helps a whole a lot . 11 stargate2002 stargate2002 7 months ago I can vouch for this out of my own experience. I was a nervous wreck before my wife made me start looking into my gut problems. I still have occasional flare ups but I am much calmer now. 22 FoodButter FoodButter 2 years ago Brain: I control everything Gut: Hold my bacteria 1.3K artemis12061966 artemis12061966 6 years ago This is one of the BEST lectures on the subject on youtube. Well done. 67 KosmiekAltertainment KosmiekAltertainment 4 years ago That was astoundingly clear and comprehensive. Massive compliments for your delivery of this subject matter, which could be very complicated but you make it sound easy as pie. I think this will over time turn out to be a deciding factor on humanity's ability to deal with ourselves, each other, and the natural world around us. Much of the trouble in the world is caused by disturbances in the operations of our brains which causes a lack of objectivity (like depression does), growing impulsiveness, and a failing to truly understand and think things through. Healthy gut = healthy brain = healthy humanity. Thank you! 31 Kyla Green Kyla Green 1 year ago This lecture was amazing.... thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏽💚 14 High Vibe Mama High Vibe Mama 1 year ago I just had a c-section and so this was just another confirmation that I need to continue on my journey to heal my gut. Such a great lecture! thank you! Learned a lot 37 DD Andrews DD Andrews 9 months ago One of the best lectures I've ever watched from an academic research scientist. 9 Kirstin Strand Kirstin Strand 1 year ago My mother lived to 107 from eating fresh, whole food...lots of large salads, modest amounts of meat, homemade breads and desserts. She never ate junk or processed foods. Of course most of her life, GMOs were not invented. When pesticides, etc became used, in addition to GMO'S she bought Organic when possible. She was never on prescription drugs, very rarely used doctors; she added vitamins and minerals in her 60s. Walking was her form of exercise, in addition to household chores. She was an avid reader and believed that Bridge kept her mind working. Mom's long term memory was intact until the end, however, the short term memory was gone after 100 years, or so. I will always miss her. Eat healthfully. I do; I have no fear of Covid-19. Moreover, I eat Kimchee nearly daily. 239 SamUndJet SamUndJet 5 months ago (edited) Prof. Simon Carding’s lecture is the perfect introduction to the subject of gut health. I’ve reading about gut health and cooking from a book on the topic without understanding it. Now I have a basic grasp of the importance of bacteria to the health of our second brain, the gut. Prof. Carding’s analogy of a lawn to the gut was a brilliant summary of the lecture. After citing studies and providing many levels of information, all helpful, he suggested thinking of gut care like lawn care. Let’s hope I’ve got this straight: Adding prebiotics to your diet is like applying fertilizer to your lawn. Adding probiotics is like reseeding it. Fecal transplants are like digging up the lawn and laying new turf. Thank you, Prof. Carding, for sharing your expert knowledge of culture. 6 RIVA Wellness RIVA Wellness 3 years ago Great video! I can never learn enough about gut microbiome, it's so fascinating! 79 Yolanda Kuc Yolanda Kuc 1 year ago Dr Sebi proved the same hypothesis by actually healing people of numerous diseases by cleansing their gut! This lecture is more detailed and the compexity has been broken down to better understand the science behind it. 47 Hayden Hoodless Hayden Hoodless 5 months ago (edited) What I find most profound about this presentation is that some of it we already had an inclination of but didn't realise it: You are quite literally what you eat. Exposure to bacteria is important, there is such a thing as being too much of a germaphobe and getting a bit of fresh air is really good for you because it also means exposing yourself to more microbe diversity. Having your personality rub off on someone can physically actually happen as a process of Microbiome transfer. Socialising also is good for your health, for obtaining different microbiomes. 41 P. Keefe P. Keefe 4 years ago Very informative and well explained. Thank you. 12 Jorge Reynal Jorge Reynal 1 year ago Brilliant presentation, Dr. Carding. At the end of the day, as Aristotle said, we are what we eat. 22 Fiona M Fiona M 1 year ago Fantastic, as someone that is not a scholar I found this man very easy to follow and understand. I can’t help but feel that GPs are failing us when it comes to dishing out pharmaceuticals 35 Ethereal Sunny Ethereal Sunny 1 year ago This is an amazing speech!! Thank you so much for sharing!! more people really need to know this in order to maintain a healthier body and mind. 10 Val Green Val Green 1 year ago Thank you. As a practicing nutritional therapist, I am constantly reminded that good health begins in the gut and enjoy hearing scientists being convinced and being convincing to the public. 15 Gaenor Rees Gaenor Rees 1 year ago Very good lecture. Wish I could see the diagrams and the writing more clearly sending it to my daughter and my grandson. 8 Jonny Evans Jonny Evans 7 months ago This was incredibly fascinating, nootropics are becoming more and more popular but this lecture makes me think that all we really need to do is change the culture of our gut bacteria. It's interesting as well because my parents one tends to gain weight easily and the other can't keep weight on out of four siblings including myself we all would eat relatively the same foods and have the same diet 3 of us gained weight ridiculously easily and the one wouldn't gain any weight. 3 Carmen Ligia de Carvalho Carmen Ligia de Carvalho 1 year ago Este vídeo é muito importante, por que não disponibilizaram a tradução em outras línguas? 3 Kath Schliefert Kath Schliefert 1 year ago One of the most informative videos on YouTube that makes a lot of sense to me on this subject.Mind Blowing!! 5 G.E.R G.E.R 1 year ago Thanks for an excellent talk. I gained a lot of very useful information and it gave me a whole new perspective on health maintenance. 👍 4 Sharon Benjamin Sharon Benjamin 1 year ago (edited) Thank you for sharing such amazing insight on the connection between a balanced gut biome and it's positive impact on body/brain health! I would encourage all to consider adding medicinal mushrooms to your daily health routine to add good fungi to your gut biome. Fungi are humans closest DNA/biological relative. 22 Eifion Phillips Eifion Phillips 1 year ago Amazing details and well presented, thank you! 8 Paula Hartman Paula Hartman 2 years ago Everybody should be equipped with this vital life information!
