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.

Why Fiber is a Superfood: The Importance of Adequate Intake

Why Fiber is a Superfood: The Importance of Adequate Intake Fiber is one of the most essential nutrients that our body needs, yet studies today show that most Americans still need to consume enough fiber in their daily diet. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is indigestible and passes through our digestive system largely intact. Although it does not provide energy, it has been found to be associated with many chronic health diseases that we are facing today. In this blog post, we will delve into the importance of adequate fiber intake and why it is considered a superfood. 1. What is Fiber, and Why is it Important? Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. There are two types of fiber—soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can bind with fatty substances, while insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and adds bulk to the stool. Both types of fiber are essential in maintai...

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond Akkermansia muciniphila, a name that might sound unfamiliar to many, is a bacterium residing in the human gut that has started to gain recognition in the field of health and nutrition. This bacterium, part of the Verrucomicrobia phylum, plays a pivotal role in maintaining the mucosal lining of the gut, impacting metabolic health, diabetes management, and weight regulation. For nutrition enthusiasts and health professionals, understanding the benefits of Akkermansia can open new doors to optimized gut health and overall wellness. Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacterium that specializes in degrading mucin, a component of the mucus lining of the gut. This unique ability positions Akkermansia as a crucial player in maintaining the integrity of the mucosal barrier. According to Cani (2017), the gut microbiota lies at the intersection of various physiological processes, and Akkermansia’s role is no exc...

What Are Electrolytes and How Do They Affect Your Digestion?

What Are Electrolytes and How Do They Affect Your Digestion? We've all heard that electrolytes are essential for staying hydrated, especially during intense physical activities. But these essential minerals do more than just help us replenish fluids. They are also important for regulating nerve and muscle function, balancing pH levels, and aiding in digestion.
