Episode notes
Gut Is The Root Of Inflammation
- Chronic inflammation is the dominant health problem and the gut microbiome is the primary lever to suppress it.
- Changing the microbiome via plant-powered choices directly calms the immune system and lowers inflammation.
Protein Fermentation Harms The Gut
- Diets low in fiber but high in animal protein flip the microbiome from fermenting fiber to protein, producing harmful compounds.
- Those protein-fermentation byproducts (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide) are linked to inflammation and colorectal risk.
Early Microbiome Predicts Allergy Risk
- Early-life microbiome patterns predict later allergic disease; low butyrate at 12 months signals future risk.
- Maternal fiber during pregnancy shapes the child's microbiome and reduces allergy risk.
