Watch my previous interview with Dr. Lindsey Merritt    • How the food we eat affects our gut ...  

Top three things that can destroy your gut (15:30)

1. Dysbiosis
a. A disregulation of the microbiome. Infections, overgrowth of fungal living in our over sterilized modern world. We’ve lost our connection with the outside world and organisms all around us.
2. Overuse of antibiotics
a. Both immediate and downstream effects. For kids that had antibiotics as babies; may later battle asthma, allergies, inflammatory bowel disease. More than 80% of antibiotics used in our world are used in animal agriculture. When eating conventionally raised meat, eggs, dairy, seafood, you are regularly exposed to antibiotics.
3. Medications
a. Major gut microbiome disruptor. Even Aspirin or Tylenol.

Top three foods to consider eliminating if you want to achieve optimal gut health (18.00)

1. Toxins
a. Pesticides, emulsifiers and additives in food. Generally found in processed and packaged foods. May create leaky gut.
2. Glyphosate
a. The ingredient in Round Up, is sprayed on conventionally grown products. It has antimicrobial effects on the microbiome similar to antibiotics.
3. Stress
a. Has a physical manifestation. There is a gutbrain connection. The health of the gut can even affect your brain including cognitive issues, neurological issues, depression and anxiety.

Top three things you can to do optimize gut health (21:10)

1. FIBER
a. Two types and soluble and insoluble. There is both in virtually all plantfoods.
b. Insoluble fiber creates a matrix coating your small intestinal lining.
c. Soluble fiber is more gelatinous fills in the gaps of the matrix – this helps slow the absorption of sugars / glucose in foods. This is why eating a whole apple is so much better than drinking a glass of apple juice.
d. Fiber is a PREBIOTIC – food for your gut bugs that make up your microbiome
e. ONLY found in plant foods.
2. Probiotic FOODS – fermented foods
a. Kimchi, tempeh, sauerkraut, miso
3. Polyphenols – antioxidants, vitamins and minerals in plants
a. The colors in plantfoods
b. Fertilize your gut bugs

What are your favorite local restaurants or dishes at a restaurant?
o Sushiko was amazing with a fully vegan sushi menu. http://sushikojax.com/ No one favorite dish, love all the vegan options.
o Tru Food Kitchen. The ambiance is nice, modern and fun environment. https://www.truefoodkitchen.com/locat... Love to try all the seasonal vegan dishes.

What is your favorite minimally processed packaged food product?
o Nutritional Yeast. I use it as parmesan and sprinkle it on pasta with EVOO and will add it to blender with cashews water and garlic or tofu and garlic and salt and blend it up and made a tofu cheese for lasagna.

What is your best plantbased timehack? (How do you save time?)
o General ideas vs. specific recipes. Pasta, piazza, salad, or grain bowl, or tacos. Have staples on hand. Always have lentil pasta noodles. Tortillas in freezer.
