The Mind-Gut Conversation Podcast by Emeran Mayer

I was listening to one of my favorite Podcasts by Dr. Emeran Mayer. If you don't know who he is, he is responsible for The Mind-Gut Conversation PODCAST and the science behind the Microbiome. He is the author of 2 published books and many scholarly articles and literature. He has done many published papers and is recognized as the microbiome guy. DR Emeran Mayer has a POD cast where he hosts all types of practitioners ranging from holistic health nutritionists to Scientists at UC Santa Barbara studying the Microbiome in the soil. Dr. Drossman was a recent guest. He is a gastroenterologist that has popularized the biopsychosocial model and the brain-gut axis; these two are probably the most influential in my career as far as my schooling and going back to school in psychology, and understanding how trauma in the Microbiome in a play with nutrition.

I was listening to a Podcast and learned excitedly that Dr. Emeran Mayer was interviewing.
Dr. Drossman. WOW, Technology is unique. Two thought leaders or professors were communicating about their work, which was accessible. I would hear their voice and feel their enthusiasm. I was overwhelmed with emotion, just grateful!

It was just a reminder of how far science has come in the last decade with the Microbiome and yet how much we still don't know. I've just imagined Dr. Mayer and Dr. Drossman's life and their level of dedication and commitment to this work. They have transformed gut health. With how much work and passion they have put into the science and most of their careers had no appreciation or notoriety until recently. I am grateful for their work in the Microbiome evolution.

Dr. Drossman created the biopsychosocial model and has many articles on trauma and how that affects our long-term health. The Podcast discusses how childbirth, childbearing, and the environment affect bacteria. It was fascinating, and I encourage you to listen to how these things affect our long-term and digestive health today. I hope you guys listen to Dr. Emerson's Mayer's Podcast. It is very informative and gives a refreshing, unique personal touch from a GI doctor. He discussed the issues of modern medicine and how it is not helpful. It was challenging as a doctor and how he has evolved to where he is today after not seeing any results or minimal results with meditation and spending millions on testing. He enjoys science and evidence-based literature and is always willing to evolve and grow. Recently he has interviewed a nutritionist and raw foodist. His unique approach has continued to surprise and encourage me. I would love to meet both Doctors one day.

Understanding Motility and Prokinetics in Gut Health

Understanding Motility and Prokinetics in Gut Health Introduction to Gut Motility Gut motility refers to the movement of contents through the digestive tract, primarily driven by a coordinated series of muscle contractions. These contractions, known as peristalsis, propel feces through the colon and eventually out of the body. Optimal gut motility is essential for nutrient absorption, digestion, and waste elimination. When motility is impaired, it can lead to conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. This article unpacks motility, explores the concept of prokinetics, examines natural and dietary sources that stimulate gut motility, and reviews the current literature on this critical topic in gastroenterology. What Are Prokinetics? Prokinetics are substances—whether pharmaceutical, herbal, or dietary—that enhance gastrointestinal motility by stimulating the smooth muscles of the gut. By improving motility, they help ...

The Digestive Superfoods: Spirulina vs. Chlorella and Their Impact on Constipation

The Digestive Superfoods: Spirulina vs. Chlorella and Their Impact on Constipation When it comes to natural remedies for improving digestive health, spirulina and chlorella have captured attention for their powerful nutrient profiles and potential health benefits. Both of these algae-based superfoods have been highlighted not only for their ability to detoxify the body but also for their potential impact on one specific issue—a common yet troublesome condition, constipation. But how exactly do these nutrient-dense microalgae contribute to easing constipation? And are they truly effective in promoting a healthy gut? Below, we break down the science behind spirulina and chlorella and what they offer for digestive health. Understanding Constipation and Its Root Causes Constipation, a condition characterized by less frequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stool, affects millions worldwide. While occasional constipation is normal, chronic constipation ca...

Unlocking the Potential of Akkermansia: A Gut Health Revolution

Unlocking the Potential of Akkermansia: A Gut Health Revolution What Is the Microbiome? The human microbiome is a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms living in and on our body, particularly within the gut. These microbes—comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea—not only assist in digesting food but also play crucial roles in immunity, mood regulation, and overall health. Among these microscopic allies is Akkermansia muciniphila (often referred to as "Akkermansia"), a bacterium now gaining significant attention for its profound impact on gut health. What Is Akkermansia? Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium discovered in 2004. It makes up roughly 3% of the total gut microbiota in healthy individuals and primarily resides in the mucus layer of the intestinal lining. Its unique trait lies in its ability to break down mucin—a key protein in the gut's mucus layer—making it essential for maintaining gut barrier function and pro...
