Elaine Hsiao on human microbiome and gut-brain link

Mind-altering microbes: how the microbiome affects brain and behavior: Elaine Hsiao at TEDxCaltech TEDx Talks 37.5M subscribers Subscribe 5K Share 352,379 views Feb 8, 2013 Elaine Hsiao is a postdoctoral fellow in chemistry and biology at Caltech. She received her undergraduate degree in microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics from UCLA and her doctoral degree in neurobiology from Caltech with Professor Paul Patterson. She studied neuroimmune mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders and uncovered a role for the commensal microbiota in regulating autism-related behaviors, metabolism, and intestinal physiology. Elaine has received several honors, including predoctoral fellowships from the National Institute of Health, Autism Speaks and the Caltech Innovation Program. She is currently studying the mechanisms by which microbes modulate host production of neuroactive molecules and aims to better understand how the human microbiota influences health and disease.

Your speach further reinforces what have experienced/ observed with aquatic animals ( aquaculture) and have been "defending"/promoting for 30 years. In fact I published 2 papers relating the importance of these microbes and that our current civilization quasi-obcessive desire to eliminate microbes is naive, unnatural and counter productive. What we should be doing is promoting the growth of selected beneficial microbes to overcome the detrimental ones. We have to join forces with the billion old evolution and "wisdom" of Nature, not fight against it! I have no doubt that this field will grow immensly and will spread to most areas of our lives and industries. 12 Reply Cdictator Cdictator 2 years ago This lady is brilliant.

Logically too. It's exciting to think what medical breakthroughs will follow. 3 Reply Erick Bair Erick Bair 8 years ago It is extremely sad that this video which has some of the most important recently discovered about how our brain works only has 20k views! Obviously everyone needs to know this information: That what lives in your gut affects your brain, directly!! I suffered from an anxiety disorder all my life, it got really bad a few years ago. before seeing this video a year ago I did the candida diet and cured myself of that horrible ailment. Using probiotics and anti-fungal/anti-bacterial foods my gut is much more healthy and my brain works so much better. 158 Reply 17 replies iterbeijing iterbeijing 9 years ago Brilliant. Have seen reports in the media of parents completely adjusting their child's diet, which has affected autism symptoms in positive ways. There's no question that diet is everything. 2 Reply Khon Lieu Khon Lieu 9 years ago Awesome stuff! can't wait for more progress in this field. 4 Reply 1 reply ontheedge33371 ontheedge33371 2 years ago (edited) Yesterday I was really hungry and was aware my stomach was doing a lot of my thinking .. it was more of a revelation than just a passing thought . This speaker is giving me that revelation even more and I should test to quickly explain why . I have always had anxiety and it’s always affected my eating in a big way . I had very bad stomach aches specially from the age of about 5 to 15 Then I started to get super bad heartburn at 15 until this very day . I could manage with tums as long as I always had some I was ok ! Then I was almost killed at work and crushed my insides rupturing organs shattering pelvis and slicing my femoral artery and the had to cut fairly big portion of my bowel out ... .... I have developed chronic migraines believe a lot of the reason I do get them is from my horrible working guts . I am almost 50 now and have had enough time with it to feel this lady is correct and I appreciate the knowledge . It’s a great help thanks 🥳 8 Reply 1 reply Michael Pondo Michael Pondo 3 years ago This one study is so true. It solve my problem of chronic fatigue and systemic pain.

And now at 75 i can have a good life after 50 yrs of suffering Reply Laureen Forman Laureen Forman 9 years ago Finally, the word is getting out! Had the honor of meeting Paul Patterson and had a whole hour with him to ask questions about immune issues and Autism. He brought to my attention a great meeting in September 2012 about Autoimmune Issues/CNS and got to see him for a bit while there. We need to get this out of the clinic soon as the Autism rates are not getting any lower. Reply Oswald Digestive Clinic Oswald Digestive Clinic 1 year ago Thanks for sharing! Gut health is so important for brain health! Indicators of a healthy gut include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the Bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools! 1 Reply Username Username 8 years ago Good bacteria in the gut also produces serotonin and B vitamins, this adds to the explanation between the brain and gut. 44 Reply 1 reply Adrian Covert Adrian Covert 9 years ago Great presentation and fascinating topic!

The doctor told me "there wont be anything alive in your stomach or digestive tract" after taking it. I had traveled a lot, so I took 2 rounds of them to make sure. this was before we knew about gut health. at the time, I was in charge of 200 people in a foreign country, speaking the language, traveling, having the success I had always wanted. 2 months after taking the pills I was tossing and turning all night, sweating all over, skin burning like it was on fire at times, got hit with a depression darker than I knew could exist. I couldn't get control of my mind for 6 months, stopped communicating with others and climbed into a cave in my mind that i've stayed in for the most part of 15 years now. Never knew what happened, I just knew I changed. Disconnected from all friends and family for 15 years, thinking I had some sort of nervous breakdown. Now I realize I started operating at 10% serotonin and have been slowly climbing, but without knowledge of bacteria until recently. I'm thinking this is my road back to health. what are the best probiotic replacements you have found? 4 Reply 4 replies Portais Music Studio Portais Music Studio 4 years ago Top a palestra e top a palestrante...

Now I am trying to rid myself of this condition but it keeps coming back. I get a sore stomach in my lower digestive tract especialy. It seems like the yeast are spoiling my meals so they can eat?

For me, straight milk gives me trouble. I'm not lactose intolerant, because I don't have trouble in my gut. The issue is that it causes a lot of 'static' in my head. I can't concentrate and I become much more sensitive to things. When I switched to lactose-free milk, my symptoms cleared up. I had already heard elsewhere that microbes in the gut could get one of the causes of autistic symptoms. So hearing that it really is possible to remove the worst of it and allow people like me to function on a higher level is promising. I can already pass as a person with full capabilities, but people tend to forget that I don't function quite as good as they might need me to. I hope that more is discovered in the near future for myself and many others who can benefit. 50 Reply 12 replies AznDnker AznDnker 9 years ago I know they have some studies regarding Helicobacter pylori, possibly with that in mind.

Reply Alex aoeu256 Alex aoeu256 5 years ago You can get "mesophilic" yogurt online. This is yogurt that you put a little in milk then it turns to yogurt the next day, then put some of that in more milk and get more yogurt. You can also freeze the yogurt in case you leave the yogurt to ferment to long. Probiotics for cheap! Yogurt is much more filling than the milk that it comes from while having fewer calories, and being able to absorb more of the nutrients because of lactic acid. 1 Reply Kat Jones Kat Jones 3 years ago Wow, great information 😃 Reply 1 reply Zoë Zivkovic Zoë Zivkovic 1 year ago (edited) Wauw this is why ascetic and spiritual people that train the mind, are fasting!

On a side note: At 0:57 there is an estimate of the ratio for microbial to human cells. Newer estimates for the average man are at 1.3:1 with some wide latitude for uncertainty because of the inherent difficulty in measuring a system as complex as this. I am pretty sure this fact does not take away any of the inductive points in this video. http://www.nature.com/news/scientists-bust-myth-that-our-bodies-have-more-bacteria-than-human-cells-1.19136 2 Reply Observer Observer 6 months ago It's no wonder why people raised in the country are stronger than people raised in the city.

Key moments View all Contributions of the Microbiome to the Ketogenic Diet by Elaine Hsiao, PhD Metabolic Health Summit 4.62K subscribers Subscribe 21 Share 497 views Oct 12, 2022 #MHS2022 “More and more studies are revealing that the gut microbiome can affect brain and behavior” assures Dr. Elaine Hsiao who is interested in all things microbial, neural, and immune. Her presentation in the Optimizing Metabolic Health Symposium at MHS 2022 discussed the interactions between the ketogenic diet and the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is the ecosystem of microorganisms of bacteria, viruses and fungi that work together to digest food and modulate overall health of the host - aka you! Over just a few days, the microbiome shifts in a predictable way depending on the diet of an individual. One of Dr. Hsiao’s recent projects has been investigating the role of the ketogenic diet in treating refractory epilepsy. She found that the microbiome is necessary for the anti-seizure effects of the ketogenic diet in her model system. Further, there are at least two specific strains of bacteria that can protect against seizures, even if the test animal is not on the ketogenic diet. The caveat here is that in order for the bacteria to play a protective role against epilepsy, the bacteria must be alive. Importantly, OTC probiotics do not always supply a significant amount of live, bioavailable bacteria. Dr. Hsiao’s team has found that these two key bacterial strains are crucial for regulating a subset of amino acids that are considered ‘ketogenic amino acids’ and have a modification called gamma-glutamination. Watch Dr. Hsiao’s full talk to let her explain all of the ins-and-outs of the microbiome on our virtual platform along with more than 40 other lectures, in-depth panels, and special interest forums from#MHS2022, at www.metabolichealthsummit.com! 0 Comments rongmaw lin Add a comment...
