I believe there is a strong correlation between the mind and the gut biome. 36 Reply 5 replies Shredder McScumbag Shredder McScumbag 5 years ago I think Naturopathic doctors can have some very misguided views at times, but in this situation I've seen that they definitely have a point. Many have been pointing out this connection for decades and "prescribing" remedies for stress through this medium. 14 Reply It's Me It's Me 5 years ago This is one of the best videos! It is very interesting, when she talked about how a shy mouse can change its behavior, just by changing the bacteria in its gut, that groundbreaking to me. Thank you Olivia! 83 Reply 1 reply mahenonz mahenonz 5 years ago I was completely cynical about this "your gut can affect your brain " theory until a recent bout of food poisoning. I felt perfectly fine after 12 hours or so - except I had zero interest in food which lasted several days. My doctor said my stomach needed a "reset" and probiotics did the trick. I was amazed how much an illness could completely change my thoughts. 4 Reply em0860 em0860 5 years ago I am so glad you presented a video on this topic - As a microbiologist suffering with Ulcerative Colitis, I find this to be a highly important subject and the explanations you give are more than relevant to my dissertation. I cannot wait to see how what I learnt about stress and the microbiome affects later studies :) 38 Reply 1 reply BRUXXUS BRUXXUS 5 years ago This is really interesting to me, especially as a guy who's had ulcerative colitis for about 10 years now and has struggled with depression for about the same time frame. UC sucks, but UC AND depression make a pretty brutal combination. 7 Reply Oswald Digestive Clinic Oswald Digestive Clinic 1 year ago Great video! To add to this, nutrition issues can result in anxiety. For example, magnesium deficiency can be a problem. This deficiency may result from our soils being depleted of magnesium, the increased amount of magnesium used by the body during stress, medications like birth control, and not eating enough magnesium. One good food source of magnesium (and delicious) is pumpkin seeds! 5 Reply Naarad_ Muni Naarad_ Muni 1 year ago I’m so glad I took Ayurveda as my way.

Thank you very much and keep up the fantastic work! 3 Reply travin travin 4 years ago Also keep in mind, our gut is the brain we had before we had a brain. And plays a huge role in addiction, including cravings for sugar and other chemicals. 2 Reply Professor Politics Professor Politics 5 years ago For those who are interested in this topic, I'd recommend the book "I contain multitudes." I'm going through it right now and it hits on all of the topics in this video and then some (like, for instance, how cows and other rumanids need their microbiome in order to actually digest their food). It's also pretty fair about what evidence on the impacts of the microbiome are more "certain" or more speculative. 3 Reply James Mutamba James Mutamba 5 years ago Good show.

If there's a way to tweak our systems so we react less to foods that would help all of us. Especially me, since I have the worst of it- the inflammation and blood sugar issues from our normal diets contributes to pretty much every health problem I have aside from the inability to sweat normally that my sister and I were born with. Anything that would let me lose weight, somehow fix the hypothyroidism, help me to get my blood sugar under control, make my mental illnesses less serious, and cause my stupid asthma to tone it down to what it was when I was a kid and I could still go hiking and ride my bike as far as I wanted to would be an absolute Godsend. 1 Reply brujaja Aknot Wrought brujaja Aknot Wrought 5 years ago This is deeply fascinating. It kind of makes me wonder if an individual's microbiome is involved in the cluster of information and conditions we refer to as wisdom. 1 Reply cacodaemonia cacodaemonia 5 years ago Speaking of the vagus nerve, you all should do an episode about the vasovagal response.

Reply Denys Voichenko Denys Voichenko 5 years ago I already knew that microbes in my guts have some impact on my brain, but didn`t exactly knew what and how they cause. Thank you for explaining this to me. And especially thanks for the host, whose voice I can listen whole day. 12 Reply Allen Leland Allen Leland 5 years ago (edited) This is a topic that means a lot to me since when I take a probiotic it really helps my mental state & I have tried to go some time without them & I just don't feel as well. 1 Reply Iron Manatee Iron Manatee 5 years ago For the last two years I have had a dysbiosis, Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. During that time I have been treated with antibiotics twice which has let me perceive at least 4 drastically different gut microbiomes. I have a first hand perspective of drastic mental changes that accompany changes in human gut flora. In the last two years I have felt some of the worst forms of mental illnesses from being suicidally depressed, to crippling anxiety that caused me to become agoraphobic. I have been able to treat all of my symptoms of SIBO, including the mental, with a short dose of antibiotic and long term probiotics. To me it is no question that the human microbiome is at the central cause of everything from IBS, to many mental illnesses. It is my belief that dysbiosis are getting more prevalent due to the increase in consumption of highly ferment-able foods and the widespread use of antibiotics. 20 Reply 3 replies Foxiepaws ACAnderson Foxiepaws ACAnderson 6 months ago I have been logging my symptoms with the King's College, London, Zoe app which are front runners in researching the gut microbiome. It's fascinating! I have been logging since it started at the beginning of the pandemic and recently its branched out to other areas of health as it has the largest group of test subjects ever, logging whatever they need. It's a new and amazing way of testing things and of keeping tabs on whatever symptoms each survey needs. It's truly ground breaking and if you can join in the US it's a great way to help scientists and you feel like you've actually contributed. 1 Reply kd8lvt kd8lvt 5 years ago Great video! I don't know if anyone has tested this, but could the reason the mice were getting more stressed be because their gut wasn't creating as much seratonin, due to the reduced variety of gut microbes? I didn't read the paper, but it seems plausible to me. 1 Reply ButterflyFX ButterflyFX 5 years ago What if kissing evolved as a means to colonize each other with microbiomes? 95 Reply 6 replies SayAnything8 SayAnything8 5 years ago I can see a new field in psychology being formed during the next few years.

Right now I have a doctor directed nutrition and diet plan (yes, with probiotics) to help with chronic depression, and I'm making slow but encouraging progress after dealing with it for most of my life. But one thing that seems to keep coming up when trying to get things fixed right has been gut health. Honestly, I've ran into more stuff about the connection between mental disorders and nutrition and gut health than I'd ever care to know. Shame though, since I know that the big pharmaceuticals (mostly here in the US) aren't going to like the idea that proper food and microbes might actually be the best medicine, and not the drugs they have spent so much money on researching and looking for a use for. 2 Reply rick spalding rick spalding 5 years ago If they want to learn more, they should study me. I've always felt blah. I've drank heavier over the years to the point my gut was getting really screwed up, to the point where eating soluble fiber was a major problem while heavy drinking. When this happened, and I ate something with simple sugars, I had the greatest highs and wish I always felt like this. It wasn't a sugar high, I never had a crash and was wondering how I could always feel like this. Hapiper and more confident. Anyways, I would have to go to a clear liquid diet to let my gut heal. 3 Reply Chris Harkin Chris Harkin 5 years ago (edited) what we ACTUALLY understand about nutrition and everything that's involved with it, bacteria, microbiome etc doesn't even scratch the surface of what's going on... this is exciting, proper understanding of this kind of information changes EVERYTHING 1 Reply MakeMeThinkAgain MakeMeThinkAgain 5 years ago In medicine (and psychology) I predict this is going to be the century of the human microbiome. 7 Reply Luc Luc 5 years ago Thanks Olivia!

Thank you. 2 Reply sophiebrodie99 sophiebrodie99 3 years ago I’m here trying to build a case for a natural approach to treating my MS - by strengthening my blood brain barrier/improving my gut-brain microbiome. At the moment, I don’t believe I actually have MS. I believe that the antibiotic I was on for an infected finger crossed my blood brain barrier because it was weak, poisoning me and causing damage to some of the myelin and altering my body’s functions. Lots of natural approaches to treatment use blood brain barrier/gut-brain microbiome science. I’ve decided that this is the best approach for me because it means that I’m completely in control of my own “treatment” and won’t be opening myself up to unwanted side effects or risks. I think that MS, Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases are actually results of weakened blood brain barriers/gut-brain microbiomes and that by finding ways to strengthen the barriers between the body and the brain, we can reduce or even eliminate the risks of neurodegeneration. I REALLY hope I’m right. Next month I’ll be telling my neurologist all this and hope that he will support my logic and my choice 😅 3 Reply Jabreel Jabreel 5 years ago This is the most interesting i have ever seen by you guys.

I feel that i can relate to multiple parts of this video from being a cesarean birth, and have major issues be bound or restrained. I also can easily adjust to basically any environmental situation or living situation without it becoming to big of a problem. I in fact have a harder time going to a public place than facing complete power grid failure in the u.s. rational? Nope ? Id help it if I can just figure out how. I can relate by feeling mentally terrible when I eat a poor diet. Depressed and lethargic and dim. I had internal chemical burns in the early two thousands and my digestive track no longer works right. When I have a steady intake of live culture yogurt and/ or Keefer, I have a much easier time of life internally and externally. 1 Reply Jay Atherton Jay Atherton 5 years ago Thanks for doing an episode on this; I've been wanting one for a while. 1 Reply Luis Diego Montero Luis Diego Montero 5 years ago That is super interesting. in Costa Rica, the Bribri people (an indigenous people) believe that you actually do a lot of your thinking with your gut. They believe the stomach and the liver do the same or more thinking than the brain. They have based their ancient medical treatments (based on herbs and different ways to prepare them) on that belief. It turns out they seem to have, at least, a solid ground for that. Reply Rebecca Rebecca 5 years ago Putting a literal meaning to the term 'gut feeling'. 1 Reply ATraumend ATraumend 5 years ago One of the first videos where Olivia's presentation skills didn't distract me too much from the information. Speaking is definitely better. Movement and gestures improved a lot for me. You're getting there Olivia. Rooting for you. 1 Reply Tamara Salchert Tamara Salchert 4 years ago Literally 3 1/2 years ago I had to go to a doctor because I was severely ill. He doesn't go through insurance because he really tries to get to the root of the problem. He found out my whole GI tract was inflamed and I had horrible IBS (while my other dr just said pretty much that's the way it is). When he told me that 80-85% of serotonin was made in my gut and could explain why I was so severely depressed and having over 10 panic attacks a day. Once he worked on helping heal my gut- I honestly had hope again. I thought I was dying and there was no way out of the mental hell I was in. By the grace of God. I am doing so much better. And honestly, could be doing even better. I just need to be more intentional. But he knew all of this stuff for years!! If you are not doing well. How is your gut?? I now don't eat gluten (inflamitory or milk) to keep the inflammation a bay. I know some people don't get this whole gluten then but trust me. If you have ibs, anxiety, depression, getting sick all the time-, there's a reason. Don't just let a doctor give you some pills to manage it. Dive in and find what's the problem. There's hope! I will share this with who ever because I know the mental hell and physical pain and how hard that was. 54 Reply 4 replies carschmn carschmn 5 years ago Makes sense. I get migraines and have numerous food triggers. The food chemicals have to get to the brain somehow. Also the two main organs the first living things evolved were a brain and a stomach. Reply Patrick Hodson Patrick Hodson 5 years ago There's a thing that can happen where yeast becomes a part of your microbiome, and it causes you to get dangerously drunk when you eat too much sugar and simple carbs like bread. It can be hard to diagnose because it's pretty rare, and because doctors tend not to believe the patients when they come to the hospital drunk and say they haven't been drinking. 1 Reply Bryan Gonzalez Bryan Gonzalez 1 year ago The older I get the more science seems to validate the old world wisdom. Reply Renze Renze 4 years ago In a video about the microbiome the channel What I’ve Learned made, he talks about how certain bacteria might cause autism. He tells the story of a kid who was developing normally, but after several antibiotics courses started acting weird and was later diagnosed with severe autism. Noticing a link between the antibiotics and the sudden autism, the mother dove into the studies and found that antibiotics could cause autism-like behaviour in mice. Antibiotics targeted a lot of bacteria, but not a certain bacterium which was also overly present in autistic children’s guts. So she found a doctor willing to experiment and gave her son a antibiotic targeted specifically at this bacterium and the autism in the kid slowly became less. I find it very interesting how much your microbiome affects your brain and how it could be the cause of a lot of mental issues. Another example: a transplantation of gut microbiome between two sisters led the receiving sister to become overweight like the other sister, even though she didn’t change her diet or workout schedule. Future research about this topic really could result in a lot of problems disappearing, it’s amazing 5 Reply 1 reply PfEMP1 PfEMP1 5 years ago Research on microbiomes is really hot right now, they seem to have an impact on basically everything 110 Reply 3 replies Joshua Olorocisimo Joshua Olorocisimo 5 years ago I'm currently working on this for my thesis and it's really interesting!! 5 Reply Temsumongba Jamir Temsumongba Jamir 4 months ago I had pre-biotic and it improved my digestion and about mental health nothing much was noticeable but I felt relief/better so life was quite smooth Reply Madtown Animal House Madtown Animal House 5 years ago A possible use for this research could be future space travel in which some humans are almost germ free but that sounds like something we would need way down the line 1 Reply Plebian Geli Plebian Geli 5 years ago This is so interesting.

The conclusion this data points to is that psyche meds may exacerbate the source of mood pathologies, while making the symptoms less noticeable making total recovery that much more difficult. 1 Reply David Dahano David Dahano 5 years ago Actually Olivia did a lot better than the previous episodes, I think she's trying so hard to meet your expectations, guys!

Within seconds he started panting, his eyes bulged out, he went from calm to hyper in minutes - and it hasn't stopped. The poor dog was bouncing off the walls jumping and freaking out. He was very well trained and knew many commands and tricks, and that all went away. We were afraid we would have to have him euthanized because he was out of control and a nervous wreck, us too! We dealt with this for all this time, then started him on high amounts of probiotics. Guess what? He is calming down, and his eyes have pretty much stopped bulging. I feel so bad for animals and people who are the victims of the ignorance and stupidity of people in the medical profession who have no idea of what they are doing - and don't bother to learn the truth of their profession - which is NOT to heal but gain a profit, or who just don't give a damn.

Do an episode on the "Wim Hof Method" and vagus Nerve tone it's fascinating stuff! Its a form of controlled intermittent hypoxia training that improves vagus nerve tone! It literally works to destroy depression and anxiety in 10 weeks! It's a form of mind-body conditioning that completely rewires the brains relationship to stress/ chronic stress / anxiety / misery. It also enables the individual to increase their body temperature at will (immune response suppression, which is why it helps to treat depression as depression has been linked to an over active immune response in the brain as a result of trauma!) ! Makes their mitochondria denser and more efficient as a result of the temperature increase, increase brown fat levels in individuals, Is a treatment for A MASSIVE RANGE OF AUTO IMMUNE DISORDERS. (Thanks to its auto immune suppression qualities) as well as mental health disorders (id argue they have a lot in common, more than we currently understand) Oh btw the technique is at the forefront of research at Stanford, as well as neuroscience of consciousness research at Stanford too, So there's that!

It can be temporarily fixed by chugging an acidic beverage such as grapefruit juice.

Furthermore, it would have the indirect effect of negative reinforcement with oral hygiene since killing the bacteria by brushing your teeth would also stop the chemical release which would result in the pain of the cavity that would dissipate over time while the bacteria reproduced.

ASD individuals in general tend to have worse gut issues than others when at "healthy" status. No diseases, no injury, no allergies...We'll have IBS, gas, constipation and diarrhea before most others (again, who aren't already dealt a gastric blow by disease or trauma). It's actually been a post-Dx symptom: "He's autistic. This is actually interesting. His behaviors, thoughts and actions brought us to a diagnosis which also has a high tendency to coexist with chronic gastric issues." I bring this up because although other Tx will be developed directly for the CNS where the disorder takes its grip, and many will work wonders (or not...individuality at the neuron level is why there are several drugs for one symptom), it would be interesting to see if a supplement of "whatever's missing," or a control on "whatever's overabundant," or even a crossed treatment between gut stabilization and the CNS would show better results. I'm Bipolar and ADHD as well, which is classic for where I'm at on the spectrum, so I might have a harder time lol THE POINT IS, I would love to see this study bring results to help those in the moderate-functioning end of the spectrum where Autism is the primary issue in their behaviors; PDDNOS and Asperger Dx that have a much harder time with impulse control, emotional expression and social interaction...regardless how intelligent they might be. I'm doing well, and still have those issues too, but through my experience in special education...there's a "gap."

Secondly the next part of ''Lack of new environment stress'' could maybe be attributed like the first to a lack of early life infection, where (perhaps but not necessarily) my main aversion to certain types of travelling or travelling to specific locations would be 'Anticipated and Suspected' potential harm through new infections. Perhaps I am cognicant of the potential new infections and therefore they deter my travels, or perhaps it is somewhat pre-existing and induced in mice only if they were like myself infected early then placed in a new environment, since they can't intuit as well as we all can (I would imagine).

Example like sugar gets broken down into different pieces than fat. Except this list is incredibly complex not just two different things. Maybe out of the mix some things can only eat certain things so eating only explicitly one thing might help only certain things thrive. Maybe like a garden, feeding flowers.

For example, while my mom had me, she had a big craving for tomatoes. My dad even had to buy a pack of them while she was in the hospital. I personally love both tomatoes and ketchup, even from my childhood. Could this be due to the bacteria and immune system being carried over from my mom? 6 Reply E drop E drop 4 years ago I'm so used to watching Kurzgesagt videos on things I don't know about that it made it an interesting experience to watch one on things I already know about.

Autism isn't a disease (and that was mentioned on the video in the same sentence that included cancer), it's a disability. It's not considered a disease because it's not something to be cured. Autistic people may need more or less support in certain situations, but they also have their own way of being (specific interests, stims, personality) and if no one is being harmed by that, that's okay. I thought it'd be important to mention this, specially as an autistic woman. 3 Reply IceWing IceWing 3 years ago you could base a story around this, like the bacteria are living in the gut, cultivating the intestinal villi, and just generally living peacefully there, and the WBCs are kinda there as these overlords who watch over the place and the bacteria notify them when something is amiss and so on, it sounds like it could be interesting. 1 Reply 1 reply Critika [Salihmeylani] Critika [Salihmeylani] 2 years ago "There are butterflies in my stomach" Oh yeah, its all coming together. 139 Reply 2 replies DSR_ Kami DSR_ Kami 5 years ago (edited) "You just transplant some healthy poop.

I would be even happier if you change the graphics of the food held by the people. Only 2 "whole" foods appear; the apple and the watermelon. The rest appeared to be fast food; which definitely aren't feeding the gut microbes well. Also, can you change the lollypop in both places? I believe that soda pop consumption outranks lollypop consumption as a source of simple sugars and in the rise of chronic illness. Maybe you could use the soda pop container with the straw previously drawn.

Katharina Ribbeck reveals the mysteries of this transparent, shape-shifting layer that moistens and lubricates the vulnerable parts of our body while rendering us invisible to potentially deadly microbes.

Reply ZimmerSquash ZimmerSquash 7 years ago Anyone else thought the animation was funny? I couldn't help but giggle. 808 Reply 13 replies Krystal Burcham Krystal Burcham 7 years ago While it may be true that mucus is a good thing and helps prevent infection, mucus is not always a good thing. I have asthma and for people like me, mucus can be a really bad day. So for those who have stated that medications such as Mucinex may be bad for you because it reduces the amount of mucus already in your body, too much mucus in an asthmatic persons lungs can be deadly! In the event of an asthmatic "flare-up", the airways are already extremely inflamed and restricted. When mucus heavily coats the airways and lungs, it makes it even more of a struggle to breathe. I am not saying there aren't any possible complications with taking Mucinex too much or for too long. But on the other hand, I don't think many people take Mucinex unless there is too much mucus in an unfavorable location, such as the lungs or maybe even the nasal passages. 1 Reply 1 reply Whatsapp Gaming Whatsapp Gaming 1 year ago The animation is so fun 😊 1 Reply Anime Fan Anime Fan 6 years ago I had to open my locker with my non dominant hand today because I sneezed and the entirety of my sinuses and probably a little brain came out of my nose and my right hand was keeping it from going all over.

I wish I had seen this when I was in biology lol 3 Reply Kentucky Pete Kentucky Pete 5 years ago First, another amazing video. I love how you make it both educational and entertaining, keeping my attention and making it enjoyable. Second, I have a question. I was in jail for an extended period, I made a mistake and I'm not proud of it, and the medical treatment wasn't the best. Their answer for everything was a 10 day round of antibiotics. In just one year I did 13 - 10 day treatments, and this was just 1 of 4.5 years. During 1 month I was doing 2 rounds of antibiotics, 1 from the nurse and 1 from the dentist, at the same time. I tried to explain that I'm not suppose to take double doses of antibiotics or take so many so often, but that never got anywhere except that I would be locked down and loss of good time if I refused to take them. Long story short, I now have a weak immune system and have issues with folliculitis, psoriasis, allergies, etc etc. Issues I've never had before my prison stay. My question, how can I rebuild my immune system quickly and efficiently, and can my body bounce back to its previous healthiness? Anyone with any answers or suggestions are more than welcome to reply. 1 Reply 1 reply Jia Hao Gaming Jia Hao Gaming 4 years ago I love this video because it can educate us on how our immune system 1 Reply fluencer flux fluencer flux 4 years ago This is one of your most creative videos.

I cannot believe I forget such basic information over time. To keep this very basic information about the immune system alive in my memory I will make a note here. Antibodies are proteins produced to the body to destroy invading cells. They are due to the work of B and T Cells. B and T Cells identify antigens they can use that information so that they can swiftly respond and deploy antibodies when a threat revisits. That is how the human body can develop immunity to certain diseases, like chickenpox. Autoimmune diseases trick the body into attacking their own cells.
