You relieve stress and your microbiome improves. The power of thought is one of the biggest superpowers you have for your own health. I believe certain bad microbes actually require the body to be stressed. 92 Reply 5 replies Diva Livingston Diva Livingston 8 months ago I watched the previous episode with Rich and Dr B, so I could have his backstory and the information from that is excellent. When one is watching a podcast and taking notes, as I am doing, it shows the significance of what is being delivered. I feel like I am "finding myself" in what is being said here. Things that I have thought about in making changes to my diet, in looking at neuroscience to help understand my past addictive behavior with alcohol and anorexia, and the relationship between the gut and the brain is truly mind-blowing. I am so grateful that we have access to this on YT for free. Thank you guys! 148 Reply 3 replies xanxus xanxus 5 months ago It's a shame I can only give this episode one thumbs up.

Thank you Rich for creating amazing contents every week. I love your show!! 19 Reply Emiliano Lodges Emiliano Lodges 8 months ago This is the most important podcast I’ve ever listened to! For so many years I’ve listened to really great doctors on both sides of the diet wars – really credible individuals who are producing solutions and who have their legions of followers. There always seemed to have been two truths coexisting at the same time in a kind of medical paradox. The fact that two different people, with two different biomes, respond differently to different diets can be explained now. I always knew that the results themselves which is to say that the people who were so ardently testifying that a particular diet had helped them heal - these results and these people were ALL correct all along. For myself, this is the first time I genuinely feel that I know the correct direction of travel for my own efforts at solving my own issues. I have hope and I cannot thank doctor Will and Rich Roll enough for pushing this out into the world. You two gentleman are going to be helping an infinite number of people who desperately need this message. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am deeply grateful. 52 Reply 2 replies Mark & Kerry Finney Mark & Kerry Finney 8 months ago Just wow! Such a wonderful interview with you both. Dr. B is so good at explaining & illustrations.

Thank you both for sharing your knowledge, looking forward to testing out some of these strategies to help find solutions to my gi and chronic pain issues. I am already plant based and tried fodmap but I feel so limited and my mental health declines. Diversity is back on the menu and I'm feeling very optimistic 💚 10 Reply Dey Kim Dey Kim 1 month ago (edited) Thank you for this conversation Dr. B and Rich Roll. I am always open to contrarian ideas as this is how we expand our knowledge and possible ways to experiment which is the key moving past current plateaus/paradigms.(plateau is essentially homeostasis of all the current inputs) I will take this opportunity to share my personal experience and hopefully can add to this on-going conversation. Going low-carb healed my chronic knee pain, I went from barely running 1 mile(the pain stopped me), to now running almost every day, up to almost 400 miles in 60 days, my breathing improved, my energy levels are through the roof(I went from sleeping 8 hours a day waking up tired to now only needing 3-4 hours), my cognitive function is through the roof. I'm watching close to 12 hours of youtube content at 2x speed(curating info for my community), whereas before I could barely take in 2 hours of content before reaching my neural edge. I also don't feel hungry all day like I used to, which has really helped my overall sense of well-being and have stable energy and focus all day. (went to sleep at 11pm, and woke up at 2am today before my alarm, whereas before I would go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 7am still tired, kind of mind blowing) This has been absolutely life-changing for me as I've struggled with depression and all kinds of mental ailments, which are now all gone. My relationships with my family have also experienced miraculous healing. I don't consume any caffeine at all, yet have more energy and focus that my peers who rely on it daily to feel normal. I appreciate the conversation and always looking to experiment with different approaches and my main focus is to zoom out and look into any mechanism that precedes the symptoms that most people are dealing with. So my thanks to Dr. B and Rich Roll! Epigenetic research shows that we are incredibly plastic when signaling gene expression. Every input can influence gene expression. Thoughts, emotions, beliefs, food, air, water, fasting, etc I'm going low-carb right now to heal my insulin resistance but my long term goal is metabolic flexibility which will take some time, at which point, I may run experiments with adding different sources of carbs. I have been dogmatic in the past on many topics, especially when I discover something new that has positive outcomes. In hindsight 20/20, I see this has often restricted my ability to experiment further and move past plateaus(acclimation). Plateaus = learn the next thing, or in other words, we've adapted to the current inputs. I have observed that most people focus too much on just food that we intake with our mouths, when we also need to consider what we see and hear. It's all energy and it all impacts our gene expression. There are global switches that we can tap into which will actually completely change how the body processes food, affects the microbiome, and ultimately influences our gene expression. Chronic stress, pathological emotions(shadow), limited and divisive beliefs directly disrupt our microbiome just as much as food we consume with our mouth. All inputs become outputs. (there is nuance there, as we are the train conductor for these energies) It's important to experiment and rebuild sensitivity to all inputs, through a diverse set of adaptation pathways and fasting from all different categories of inputs.. Once we can improve all our feedback systems, we won't have to depend on outsourcing our modus operandi like most of the human population does today. Our society has become so desensitized that we've lost the ability to self-regulate and are completely disconnected from nature and live in very narrow paradigms of limited dimensional theories rather than multidimensional direct experiences that honor all intelligences. Specialization reduces the holistic spectrum of data points we could be pulling from. At the core, we are energy alchemists. We want to look at the foundation of all life which is electricity. Blood ph(cellular voltage) and cellular oxygen levels can be influenced by so many different avenues. By narrowing our identity to a certain diet, we often lose the ability to transfer one type of energy to another. In general, food is a poor deal when it comes to energy exchange. To digest food, we require huge amounts of energy to produce the enzymes needed to break down food into something that is bioavailable to our body. Everyone has a different efficiency of function to this regard, as there are so many parameters that will influence the outcome and efficacy. Compound that with all the pesticides and toxins in our environment that end up blocking our receptors and disrupting our endocrine system and gut biome, the safest and most efficient source of energy is actually the sun, barefoot on the earth(grounding), and conscious breathing. And another source of energy, that has been largely neglected but shown to have powerful effects on our genetic expression is being around healthy people who have healthy biofield energies. We can transfer these free energy sources into actual macronutrients like fat, carbs, and protein. I require less sleep and food, because I surround myself as much as possible with these high quality inputs that require near zero energy to absorb. My aim of course isn't to find myself in an echo chamber, as our goal of energy acquisition is ultimately to use that to serve others and help others recover their own souls that get lost in this modern world that is wrought with so many pitfalls and traps. It has been shown that people who contribute to their communities and make positive impacts have far less pathologies and mental, physical, and emotional unrest. It's all about energy alchemy, transmuting one type of energy to another. Food is only one category of energy in this electric universe. I hope that anyone reading this that feels triggered will look within, as any negative emotional reaction is a sign of repression, and I say this with compassion and empathy because I struggled with this in the past. Everyone is on a different journey in life, but we all share the same universal energy field. Repressing parts of ourselves that were rejected in our childhood is also a very energy hungry process. It's like having background tasks open on our computer. We wear these identities that are often limited in our true nature, and act as a barrier for energy to move in and out. These social masks or Personas as Carl Jung describes them, become heavy and cumbersome to sustain energetically. Taking off the mask means we are allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and authentic. It's an uncomfortable process but necessary in order to truly tap into our grand design and offer our unique essence to the collective macro biome of our species. If a diverse microbiome is necessary for holistic health and well-being in our individual bodies, we can also zoom out and see that our planet needs macro biome diversity of people to combat the primordial forces of entropy and tap more into the constructive forces of syntropy. If you made it this far, I commend you! Sending you love and light me to you, through the plasmatic universe.

Ann 6 months ago As a health professional in the field of cardiac medicine for many years, anecdotally I would submit that gene expression must play a huge role in whether or not that high cholesterol affects your heart health. I had many patients who ate bacon every day but lived to be 90 and some who ate healthy, ran marathons and died of heart disease in their 40’s. I saw this often. 73 Reply 20 replies w D w D 2 months ago (edited) Rich thank you for continuing to inform us on the latest concepts. I get as excited as Dr. B. with his new findings. I have several GI diagnoses related to GI functioning & sympathetic nervous system. Seven yrs ago, I was diagnosed w/rare form of bone cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, USA. At my 6 yr checkup, my surgeon said i was cancer free with 0% chance of reoccurrence. I feel extremely grateful & belessed to have survived this journey. My passion is to pay it forward & help other patients learn how to advocate & navigate top hospitals for any medical diagnoses, learn & utilize resources (financial) that non profit organizations provide, strategies to research their symptoms & diagnoses, & live their best lives. I have changed my diet to whole food plant based diet no oils because I didn't want my behavior to be the cause of additional cancers. Dr. B. you knowledge you provide please a vital role in changing my lifestyle & health! When I have dialysis smoothies they consist of 19 different species including 6 different fiber species. Variety of species is the name of the game! Also dr. Michael Greger's nutritionfacts .org, Dr. Caldwell Esselysten, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Dean Ornish, etc have been instrumental in my knowledge.

Magnesium citrate, going for it. Exercise, can do. It's just a beautiful gift you just gave us all. I spent 3 hrs at urgent care today, because i cannot get a doctor appoint for 3months for a Gastro doc and 2 months for my GP. I didn't feel great about the doc's advice at the urgent care. Now, i have some tools. Now i have a plan that i can start today. Mmmmwwwa ! Btw, i was given a heavy dose of antibiotics 4mnth prior, which is when i suspect things started to go bad. It may have all worked out better if the antibiotics were just not so strong. However, I also had to take some antibiotics a year prior for a different issue.

You relieve stress and your microbiome improves. The power of thought is one of the biggest superpowers you have for your own health. I believe certain bad microbes actually require the body to be stressed. 92 Reply 5 replies Diva Livingston Diva Livingston 8 months ago I watched the previous episode with Rich and Dr B, so I could have his backstory and the information from that is excellent. When one is watching a podcast and taking notes, as I am doing, it shows the significance of what is being delivered. I feel like I am "finding myself" in what is being said here. Things that I have thought about in making changes to my diet, in looking at neuroscience to help understand my past addictive behavior with alcohol and anorexia, and the relationship between the gut and the brain is truly mind-blowing. I am so grateful that we have access to this on YT for free. Thank you guys! 148 Reply 3 replies xanxus xanxus 5 months ago It's a shame I can only give this episode one thumbs up.

For so many years I’ve listened to really great doctors on both sides of the diet wars – really credible individuals who are producing solutions and who have their legions of followers. There always seemed to have been two truths coexisting at the same time in a kind of medical paradox. The fact that two different people, with two different biomes, respond differently to different diets can be explained now. I always knew that the results themselves which is to say that the people who were so ardently testifying that a particular diet had helped them heal - these results and these people were ALL correct all along. For myself, this is the first time I genuinely feel that I know the correct direction of travel for my own efforts at solving my own issues. I have hope and I cannot thank doctor Will and Rich Roll enough for pushing this out into the world. You two gentleman are going to be helping an infinite number of people who desperately need this message. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am deeply grateful. 52 Reply 2 replies Mark & Kerry Finney Mark & Kerry Finney 8 months ago Just wow! Such a wonderful interview with you both. Dr. B is so good at explaining & illustrations.

Diversity is back on the menu and I'm feeling very optimistic 💚 10 Reply Dey Kim Dey Kim 1 month ago (edited) Thank you for this conversation Dr. B and Rich Roll. I am always open to contrarian ideas as this is how we expand our knowledge and possible ways to experiment which is the key moving past current plateaus/paradigms.(plateau is essentially homeostasis of all the current inputs) I will take this opportunity to share my personal experience and hopefully can add to this on-going conversation. Going low-carb healed my chronic knee pain, I went from barely running 1 mile(the pain stopped me), to now running almost every day, up to almost 400 miles in 60 days, my breathing improved, my energy levels are through the roof(I went from sleeping 8 hours a day waking up tired to now only needing 3-4 hours), my cognitive function is through the roof. I'm watching close to 12 hours of youtube content at 2x speed(curating info for my community), whereas before I could barely take in 2 hours of content before reaching my neural edge. I also don't feel hungry all day like I used to, which has really helped my overall sense of well-being and have stable energy and focus all day. (went to sleep at 11pm, and woke up at 2am today before my alarm, whereas before I would go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 7am still tired, kind of mind blowing) This has been absolutely life-changing for me as I've struggled with depression and all kinds of mental ailments, which are now all gone. My relationships with my family have also experienced miraculous healing. I don't consume any caffeine at all, yet have more energy and focus that my peers who rely on it daily to feel normal. I appreciate the conversation and always looking to experiment with different approaches and my main focus is to zoom out and look into any mechanism that precedes the symptoms that most people are dealing with. So my thanks to Dr. B and Rich Roll! Epigenetic research shows that we are incredibly plastic when signaling gene expression. Every input can influence gene expression. Thoughts, emotions, beliefs, food, air, water, fasting, etc I'm going low-carb right now to heal my insulin resistance but my long term goal is metabolic flexibility which will take some time, at which point, I may run experiments with adding different sources of carbs. I have been dogmatic in the past on many topics, especially when I discover something new that has positive outcomes. In hindsight 20/20, I see this has often restricted my ability to experiment further and move past plateaus(acclimation). Plateaus = learn the next thing, or in other words, we've adapted to the current inputs. I have observed that most people focus too much on just food that we intake with our mouths, when we also need to consider what we see and hear. It's all energy and it all impacts our gene expression. There are global switches that we can tap into which will actually completely change how the body processes food, affects the microbiome, and ultimately influences our gene expression. Chronic stress, pathological emotions(shadow), limited and divisive beliefs directly disrupt our microbiome just as much as food we consume with our mouth. All inputs become outputs. (there is nuance there, as we are the train conductor for these energies) It's important to experiment and rebuild sensitivity to all inputs, through a diverse set of adaptation pathways and fasting from all different categories of inputs.. Once we can improve all our feedback systems, we won't have to depend on outsourcing our modus operandi like most of the human population does today. Our society has become so desensitized that we've lost the ability to self-regulate and are completely disconnected from nature and live in very narrow paradigms of limited dimensional theories rather than multidimensional direct experiences that honor all intelligences. Specialization reduces the holistic spectrum of data points we could be pulling from. At the core, we are energy alchemists. We want to look at the foundation of all life which is electricity. Blood ph(cellular voltage) and cellular oxygen levels can be influenced by so many different avenues. By narrowing our identity to a certain diet, we often lose the ability to transfer one type of energy to another. In general, food is a poor deal when it comes to energy exchange. To digest food, we require huge amounts of energy to produce the enzymes needed to break down food into something that is bioavailable to our body. Everyone has a different efficiency of function to this regard, as there are so many parameters that will influence the outcome and efficacy. Compound that with all the pesticides and toxins in our environment that end up blocking our receptors and disrupting our endocrine system and gut biome, the safest and most efficient source of energy is actually the sun, barefoot on the earth(grounding), and conscious breathing. And another source of energy, that has been largely neglected but shown to have powerful effects on our genetic expression is being around healthy people who have healthy biofield energies. We can transfer these free energy sources into actual macronutrients like fat, carbs, and protein. I require less sleep and food, because I surround myself as much as possible with these high quality inputs that require near zero energy to absorb. My aim of course isn't to find myself in an echo chamber, as our goal of energy acquisition is ultimately to use that to serve others and help others recover their own souls that get lost in this modern world that is wrought with so many pitfalls and traps. It has been shown that people who contribute to their communities and make positive impacts have far less pathologies and mental, physical, and emotional unrest. It's all about energy alchemy, transmuting one type of energy to another. Food is only one category of energy in this electric universe. I hope that anyone reading this that feels triggered will look within, as any negative emotional reaction is a sign of repression, and I say this with compassion and empathy because I struggled with this in the past. Everyone is on a different journey in life, but we all share the same universal energy field. Repressing parts of ourselves that were rejected in our childhood is also a very energy hungry process. It's like having background tasks open on our computer. We wear these identities that are often limited in our true nature, and act as a barrier for energy to move in and out. These social masks or Personas as Carl Jung describes them, become heavy and cumbersome to sustain energetically. Taking off the mask means we are allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and authentic. It's an uncomfortable process but necessary in order to truly tap into our grand design and offer our unique essence to the collective macro biome of our species. If a diverse microbiome is necessary for holistic health and well-being in our individual bodies, we can also zoom out and see that our planet needs macro biome diversity of people to combat the primordial forces of entropy and tap more into the constructive forces of syntropy. If you made it this far, I commend you! Sending you love and light me to you, through the plasmatic universe.

At my 6 yr checkup, my surgeon said i was cancer free with 0% chance of reoccurrence. I feel extremely grateful & belessed to have survived this journey. My passion is to pay it forward & help other patients learn how to advocate & navigate top hospitals for any medical diagnoses, learn & utilize resources (financial) that non profit organizations provide, strategies to research their symptoms & diagnoses, & live their best lives. I have changed my diet to whole food plant based diet no oils because I didn't want my behavior to be the cause of additional cancers. Dr. B. you knowledge you provide please a vital role in changing my lifestyle & health! When I have dialysis smoothies they consist of 19 different species including 6 different fiber species.

I exercised and ate very cleanly. The only time I ate badly was on a holiday or birthday when I allowed myself to splurge on dessert. I ran and exercised daily and carried 200 pounds on my 5'4" body. I developed leaky gut syndrome, mass cell activation syndrome, and anaphylaxis, as well as allover eczema, acne, and seborrhea of the scalp. I was very vitamin and mineral deficient too until I switched to a carnivore diet and all of that cleared up. My A1C, blood sugars, and bad cholesterol levels normalized. I no longer have joint pain, brain fog, chronic fatigue, or acne and I dropped 50 pounds without killing myself with daily exercise. I will admit that I cannot indulge in dairy products or egg whites as dairy produces mucus in me and eggs can irritate my skin. A plant-based diet is not one size fits all just as a high protein diet may not work well with some people too. 1 Reply aksk61 aksk61 8 months ago Thank you for this excellent podcast, Rich and Dr.B.

When you mentioned Covid, I realize that right around the time when I had covid, is exactly when I started to feel all of these awful, never-ending symptoms. it’s affection my relationships, career, confidence,…..everything. Could it be that covid is causing these major changes in my digestive system??? I’ve gone to SEVERAL doctors and even thought I had pinworms! Nobody has been able to tell me what is going on with my body and I’m starting to feel like I’m crazy. All of the doctors certainly made me feel that way. But I know my body, and this is not how it “normally” functions. I did endless amounts of research before I figured out that it (part of it?) is candida. The doctors didn’t mention it at all, which i think is weak. They told me to go see a psychiatrist and take an evaluation for paranoia. I’ve never been paranoid in my life. Something is strangely wrong with my stomach and colon. I’ve been taking collagen but realized the brand I use contains lead and seems to be making everything worse. I’m lactose intolerant so no kefir for me. I’ve been taking l-glutamine, drinking copious amounts of lapacho tea, and taking pro&pre-biotics. I hope this goes away soon. I’ve been so patient and don’t want to live in fear of emitting an odd odor due to an underlying health issue. i don’t think I smell, but people around me are hinting at it :( 17 Reply 6 replies DianeGannon333 DianeGannon333 7 months ago Incredible information simplified!

As always an evidence based science driven specialist, Dr Will B. is an excellent communicator.

As for my experience, I’m a critical care nurse and also a researcher, mainly doing some literature reviews for critically ill patient’s care, so this kind of information is highly valued. Most importantly, I’ve been plant-based, exclusively, for the last two years and within a few months my taste buds and cravings shifted radically, to the point that nowadays my favourite foods are spinach and broccoli, so my experience is align with what Rich mentioned.

The thing that helped me right away with chronic inflammation was a very high quality prebiotic (refrigerated with live gut micro biome and a high quality prebiotic power ) I also cut out all nasty processed sugar) after months of pain I saw an almost overnight difference . I’m not even kidding . Now I don’t have crowns disease but I’ll say this I was constantly getting stomach aches and having mass inflammation after I ate.

I am beyond thrilled that science is FINALLY really delving into what matters most to the way in which life requires us to work, but it is also somewhat frustrating. This is what I have been trying to share for years with clients, friends and family. But was told I needed to not talk or add this to my work since I am neither a doctor nor nutritionist. This idea that without a degree or without the "belief" of the science world, then something does not exist until studied. This is what Ayurveda is based on and it has been around for more than 7,000 years. It is the understanding of ritam. That everything within the material world has a perfect balance and we are meant to ensure we don't take more than we give and balance everything we do with the bodies we were born in. I appreciate it the work but damn it, it is time to start acknowledging there is so much wisdom out there that doesn't need to be studied before being implemented. Really...what would have been bad about encouraging healthy diets before this. Now, let science study how different doshas/body types need differing foods to keep their unique systems in balance. Start with Vatta, Pitta, Kapha. 27 Reply 5 replies Mary Kominkiewicz Mary Kominkiewicz 3 months ago Great video ! So much important information ! Thank you both !

Reply Double LL Double LL 8 months ago Gentlemen: thank you for this informative, inspirational and timely discussion. 1) Dr B, toward the end where you hastily interject the fact that folks should check with their “medical provider”, and that you were NOT offering medical advice, I had to laugh. The reason I listen to Rich’s podcast (and Dr Huberman’s) is that there really isn’t anything resembling a “health care provider” anymore. Between the 15 minutes they are allotted to seeing you, to the fact that they probably are not aware of any new developments in their field, etc, you folks have become a lifeline. 2). The issue of the circadian rhythm present in the microbiome stopped me in my tracks!! I learned about “the master clock” several years ago, and practice the basic rules.. but my gut??!! Would love to hear more on that topic at some future date. My heartfelt appreciation for all the information you continue to bring to the general public, Rich. The podcast with Dr Walker was another astonishing, eye opening learning experience. I’m 83.. Imagine.. I had to get to this age to learn how to breathe, how to sleep and how to eat!! No thanks to any of my “health care providers “! I love you guys!!! 28 Reply 1 reply P. M. P.

Thank you. 3 Reply Joe Smith Joe Smith 8 months ago Being whole food-plant based WFPB, I eat a large amount of fiber but maybe not as much as some people who are bigger or exercise large amounts. I eat 70-90 grams daily. This is primarily from black beans, whole wheat pasta, and whole wheat bread with a considerable amount from chia seeds. The rest comes from fruits and vegetables. When I eat some common foods day after day gas is not a problem. Digestion is generally very good. I am rarely constipated. When I was on the standard food, constipation was frequent. The best way I describe WFPB is freedom. Freedom from addictive foods I no longer eat. Freedom from heavy weight. Freedom from medical conditions that otherwise would have been inevitable and progressive. I don't doubt some people can make it work eating small amounts of meat, dairy, processed foods, but I am not one of those people. 15 Reply Fiona Nicolson Fiona Nicolson 4 months ago What a generous doctor, what an amazing video. 1 Reply Linda Cox Linda Cox 8 months ago This information is very valuable to me and my current situation.

Anti-histamines were common for me as a kid with lots of allergies. 3 years of allergy shots twice a week lessened all of it enough to quit getting the shots, but I still sneeze my head off and/or blow my nose for an hour after mowing the lawn. It's more from the dirt & dust than the grass. I just live with it; occasionally with a swig of liquid benadryl. Cantaloupe makes the roof of my mouth itch, especially if it's under-ripe.

So far, the only thing that has worked is avoidance meaning a carnivore diet. I was a vegetarian for 10 years and a bit of a health-nut - fast food or processed food was seriously a maybe 1-2x a year thing. Exercise regularly and long distance running was my passion. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t until about 10 years AFTER I went back to an omnivore diet that my symptoms were so severe I could barely walk down the stairs without feeling like I needed to lie back down along with a myriad of other symptoms that are typical of auto immune issues. Eventually I stumbled upon the carnivore diet and never felt better. I worked with a GI doc as well and found out which class of foods to stay away from but what I’ve experienced is, even the “safe to eat” foods will cause me to have eczema, brain fog, and upset stomach. I’m dying to get back to a day where I can run out of fingers and toes when trying to eat the number of plants I ate in a given week.
