Healthy Gut Secrets Unlocked | Dr. Will Bulsiewicz Live Q&A

Can't recommend Will's book enough. Helped me tremendously.

👍 definite thumbs up to eating the kiwi skin. Thank you for these live videos, even though I miss most of them. Love your channel 💚

Woohoo! Love it when Doctor B and Chuck hang out 😄

I’ve had ankylosing spondylitis since I was 18 (35 now) it’s a very very painful disease I’m so glad is being brought up on the show for doctor B to comment on it because we need more awareness about AS and more information on how to care for ourselves when we suffer with this debilitating disease

When you wash the Keewee well, a lot of the fuzz comes off. It doesn’t taste fuzzy when you eat it. I don’t usually peel kiwis. If I don’t eat the skin I just cut it in half and scoop it out of the skin with a spoon. Works great, I live in Connecticut.

while bicycling in Europe, it was more efficient to eat the kiwi like a peach. It was the first time I had ever done that and it was just fine.

Dr. B And Chuck, thank you for all you do. I have Fiber Fueled and the Fiber Fueled cookbook. My Blood Sugars have improved down to, normal. I am not 100% plant based but am on my way.

21:55 Kiwis contain an enzyme, actinidin, like pineapples contain bromelain, so I think that's what causes the mouth to burn when the tolerance threshold is exceeded. I didn't know that until I once ate a lot of pineapple, a much larger amount than usual, a few hundred grams, and my tongue started to tingle... When I eat pineapple compote, I don't have that problem. So I think it's an enzyme and not an allergy. What do you think about that?

The prince of poo 💩 😂 I love it !

Lovin' kiwi skin. No problem. I have read both of Dr. Will's books and they are excellent. This stuff is revolutionary, a real golden key to health. Our public library has both of the books in hard copy as well as in Kindle. If you want to benefit your community, I recommend contacting the library and requesting they obtain copies of these invaluable books. Nearly every community library will purchase books on the recommendation of people within the community. Help out your community and get these books out to the general public!

An idea for the next show... "Association Between Daily Alcohol Intake and Risk of All-Cause Mortality A Systematic Review and Meta-analyses" from jamanetwork

The Hadza of north-central Tanzania and the Kuna of Panama obtain a high percentage of their total calories from foods that are high in natural sugars, such as fruit, starchy tubers and honey, yet they are remarkably lean, fit and free of modern disease. Compared to Americans, the Hadza have about 40% more microbial diversity in their gut, which is mainly due to their high fiber intake. However, it's not just the fiber that is critical. Consuming fiber from a variety of plant sources, which also provide gut-friendly phytochemicals, is believed to aid in feeding an assortment of gut bacteria, resulting in greater microbial diversity. So, consuming a diverse range of plants is crucial to promoting growth of beneficial gut flora. Living in sterile environments is not natural for human beings. The Hadza's lifestyle, which is in sync with their natural environment, is one of the reasons for their strong and healthy gut microbiomes. Instead of just admiring nature from afar, you can also engage with it to gain its health benefits. Try activities like hiking, camping, gardening or simply taking a walk in the park to experience nature's therapeutic effects. A high intake of dietary fibre is beneficial for maintaining a normal body weight. Prebiotics are non-digestible oligosaccharides that can stimulate the growth of selective and beneficial intestinal bacteria, especially Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. From indigestible fibers, some bacteria species can produce metabolites and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, during fermentation, playing a metabolic role in the regulation of energy expenditure and may influence the pathogenesis of obesity. The most well known and extensively studied prebiotic is inulin, a type of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) found in plants such as chicory, whole grains, onion, garlic, asparagus, banana, tomatoes, and Jerusalem artichokes, among many others. When you eat these foods, the prebiotics stay intact through the stomach and small intestine, then bacteria in the large intestine break the fibres down (fermentation) and use them as fuel. This allows the bacteria to reproduce, leading to larger colonies of good bacteria. Make sure to increase your prebiotic intake gradually, since sudden changes in the quantity of fibrous foods you eat can cause bloating, abdominal pain, and other digestive symptoms. There is also a potential benefit to consuming probiotics in the form of fermented foods such as fermented vegetables, tempeh, miso, pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, and other beverages such as apple cider vinegar and fermented dairy products. These foods may be effective in maintaining body weight, balancing intestinal permeability and barrier functions, and controlling dysbiosis. In a randomised clinical trial of obese Korean women, consumption of fermented kimchi for 8 weeks increased the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Prevotella, and caused a non-significant reduction in body weight, waist circumference, and body fat percentage. Bacteroides show a negative correlation with obesity, and Prevotella is the dominant genus in the microbiota of individuals who follow a low-fat, high-fibre diet. For most people, eating fermented foods and prebiotics can help improve digestive health. Just make sure to slowly add in these foods by starting small and adding more as you can tolerate, and then follow our tips for being a good microbe host.

I eat the kiwis with the skin , kiwis is so sweet and powerful, you don't even notice the skin.

Way to go Michelle, I know that Calgary isn't a great culture for plant-based diets, so you should be especially proud of yourself for making the change! Congratulations!

Eat 🥝 with skin👍👍 Dr. B is right, the kiwi meat, the texture and taste overpowers the skin texture. 😊 Kiwis are great in smoothies.

We thank you You & your perfect Pretty Plant doktora advising Fermented foods😂 & fibre. But As I get age, they were right, I saw this & like to send big thanks From London. I'm looking forward now to listening to your next podcast. Thank your Doctors as well as you 🙏⭐️💫💯

I seem to always miss these "live"...can you please address head aches relating to gut health/food sensitivities that are NOT accompanied with gut issues. How do you go low and slow when 1 beans give you a headache.

Yes! To eating the skin of the kiwi. They both have vitamins of different sorts, the skin and the meat. Why throw it away? By the way, I also use the skin of the kiwi to wash my face with. My skin just soaks up the vitamins.

I eat kiwi with a spoon out of the skin with kiwi cut in half the short way. 🥝

I love the skin in the kiwi, just started eating It past few months.
