I cured my own anxiety and depression that I struggled with for 10 years by simply changing my diet and not treating my mouth like a trash compactor. I did what four doctors could not do. All thanks to Dr. Peter Breggin.

If this guy, Andrew Weil, Gabor Mate, and Rangan Chatterjee were put in charge of redesigning medical training and practice, the world would be a very different place.

I just said a prayer for God to direct me to information to help my son heal from cancer. I'm so excited to listen to this.

🙏 Dr. Bulsiewicz is brilliant. Everything has says about “Good Gut Flora” makes so much sense. I have Kidney Disease & I have type two Diabetes . I feel like all the Antibiotic’s that I take for Chronic Kidney Infection, Bladder Infections, UTI’s & yeast infection from the antibiotic’s cause my Blood Sugar levels to go high and it’s this constant struggle to try & feel healthy and strong but I feel terrible. Fatigue, nausea, anxiety, back pain, lower abdominal discomfort/pressure. My kidney function is 36% between the two. My eGRF is 19. I just got out of the hospital 2/7/24. With kidney infection,UTI, with Sepsis. My body was shaking for a day & a half, I was extremely hot, fever, and uncomfortable nausea. It was horrible. Because I have been dealing with this illness all of my life I decided to cut all processed foods, sugar, gluten, meat, dairy, and stop eating out. I’m on a plant based diet. 🌱 by the 4th day I see changes . My stomach is not bloated, less swelling in my feet, legs, face, my skin doesn’t look yellow, and I have had two + bowel movements a day. I also take prebiotics and probiotics every day. Thank you for sharing all your very helpful information. 👍

Literally shaking watching this. My son 2 year old had aml we are day +19 of stem cell transplant. I never comment on KZfaq’s. I have focussed on his microbiome in his chemo and transplant. He is flying through no mucositis. No need for medical feeds. Our nurses abs drs are astonished. To hear that studies are proving that what I’m already doing is improving his survival rates. I can’t even put it into words how it makes me feel. I also gave my son ip6 which is an amazing dietary fibre.

I've come off a carnivore diet and really started to focus on feeding by gut biome. The benefits of a few months of carnivore got me lean, strong and fitness-motivated. Adding the fibre has carried those benefits over and got me leaner, and fitter and my cognitive function has improved massively. I am going to try increasing my fibre variety next

Believing you are already healthy is a massive mental boost. You relieve stress and your microbiome improves. The power of thought is one of the biggest superpowers you have for your own health. I believe certain bad microbes actually require the body to be stressed.

I’ve changed my life by diet change. The best part is, I didn’t do it for weight loss, that was the biproduct. My energy level has skyrocketed and I’m so clearheaded that I feel my vision has improved. It clicked when I saw Mary Clare Haver’s menopause podcasts. She made me start the whole fermented foods, live yoghurt/kefir and tempeh , nuts, seeds berries, fruit and veg. Now that I’m “here” (in my new state) I’m not perfect. My bowel movements aren’t perfect. This podcast is helping me get it , so I’m off to get that correct magnesium. This is the best podcast I’ve ever heard.

Listening to this while enjoying a delicious bowl of Thai red curry over brown rice - including onions, mixed peppers, sweet potato, eggplant, lentils, carrot, coriander and green beans!

I found a good source for feeding my Microbiome. Recently did a DNA test and was able to actually learn what weaknesses I have in my Gene expression. I am really feeling better. I'm 66 and I was surrendering into the thoughts that aging was a crewel and inevitable thing. I now have hope again and I feel like I want to live a longer life. Thank God, you really are what you eat.

One thing I know for sure, pumpkin purée’s fiber helped my little kitten from suffering from diarrhea. Fiber definitely helped his little gut poor thing. Now he can run around and be his happy go lucky little self.

I literally cried when I listened to the part about food intolerances. I have been STRUGGLING with this and trying to figure it out with absolutely no idea how. I feel like I have developed an eating disorder because of it. A fear of foods.... and limiting myself to what I can eat with no way out. THANK YOU!!!! I am going to dive in and see how the heck I can change this for myself.

A- MA- ZING!! So, so so glad and thankful I've been vegan for the last 8 years!!! Unvaxxed, super healthy, lean and disease-free!!!

Thank God for the internet and wifi, I started plant based about 4 months ago and I feel so amazing and the weight is dropping off. Thank you sooooo much.

Oh, wow, I just realized that when we see families getting similar cancers, we assume it’s genetic, but maybe it’s the microbiome we inherit from our family is the reason familial cancers. Amazing research project.

I have not eaten processed food of any type for over 40 years. I have not eaten meats except salmon for forty years or more. I grow my own vegetables organically and have for 40+ years. I have had autoimmune/leaky gut for decades and recently had a psoriasis flare up. Fasting for long duration always healed the symptoms in my past. Not this time. Twenty days water fasting and still the skin condition persisted. I was out of options and even tried dry fasting for seven days! Tough protocol. I saw Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet and sourced the necessary meats and fats and organ meats. After three weeks with zero carbs and a high fat, moderate protein, and organ meats (all grass fed grass finished) I saw healing. My skin is a visible indicator of internal conditions of my gut wall and micro biome. I have begun eating brassicas and some green salads with an avoidance of high lectin foods and some berries but low fructose fruits. I can say that I feel healing is possible but requires stopping what is “feeding” the problem and supplying nutrients to promote healing. After strict adherence to the PKD plan for a month I could eat foods that prior to would have caused an almost immediate worsening of my psoriasis. I am even pushing the boundaries to include coffee and 88% cocoa occasionally. I am continuing the meats and doing one meal or two a day (16-18 hour fasting, 6-8 hr eating time). My skin is 90% better and I feel it could heal completely if I did a few weeks of strict adherence to the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet plan again. It is such a relief to know healing is possible and I’m convinced no one knows what the causes are of leaky gut for each person. I have a suspicion that pesticides in combination with other factors is a possible main cause, especially glyphosate..My hope is to once again be able to eat as a vegetarian but ultimately my bio-markers will determine if that’s possible now.

Gentlemen: thank you for this informative, inspirational and timely discussion. 1) Dr B, toward the end where you hastily interject the fact that folks should check with their “medical provider”, and that you were NOT offering medical advice, I had to laugh. The reason I listen to Rich’s podcast (and Dr Huberman’s) is that there really isn’t anything resembling a “health care provider” anymore. Between the 15 minutes they are allotted to seeing you, to the fact that they probably are not aware of any new developments in their field, etc, you folks have become a lifeline. 2). The issue of the circadian rhythm present in the microbiome stopped me in my tracks!! I learned about “the master clock” several years ago, and practice the basic rules.. but my gut??!! Would love to hear more on that topic at some future date. My heartfelt appreciation for all the information you continue to bring to the general public, Rich. The podcast with Dr Walker was another astonishing, eye opening learning experience. I’m 83.. Imagine.. I had to get to this age to learn how to breathe, how to sleep and how to eat!! No thanks to any of my “health care providers “! I love you guys!!!

I eat a low carb plant based diet and I got my 92 now 93 year old Mother to do the same... and it tastes GREAT!!!and we feel greater than ever!!! and it's so easy....

Fruits were the key for me... 3-5 a day, not blended. Something magical happens when your gut breaks down the fiber of foods that are nutritionally dense. Apples have been my greatest help.

Other people do podcast shows , but no one does it as well as Rich Roll, his intelligence and questions and passion is unparrelled!

Love it when someone, full of knowledge, speaks from what science says. Not personal beliefs, science. And on top of that, even a full list of references. THIS is the way. Dr Bulsiewicz is the way. Thank you Rich for bring this to the public.

Thank you for this! I'm a psychologist and am currently researching the connection between microbiome issues with various mental illnesses. Have seen a SPIKE in issues since Covid. This is very helpful.

I have struggled my entire life with gut / tummy issues. :( Thank you for this pod cast. I am going to take this seriously now because I’m sick of being sick 🙏 x

I watched the previous episode with Rich and Dr B, so I could have his backstory and the information from that is excellent. When one is watching a podcast and taking notes, as I am doing, it shows the significance of what is being delivered. I feel like I am "finding myself" in what is being said here. Things that I have thought about in making changes to my diet, in looking at neuroscience to help understand my past addictive behavior with alcohol and anorexia, and the relationship between the gut and the brain is truly mind-blowing. I am so grateful that we have access to this on YT for free. Thank you guys!

As a health professional in the field of cardiac medicine for many years, anecdotally I would submit that gene expression must play a huge role in whether or not that high cholesterol affects your heart health. I had many patients who ate bacon every day but lived to be 90 and some who ate healthy, ran marathons and died of heart disease in their 40’s. I saw this often.

M.D. Anderson partnered with Huntsman's Cancer Hospital in SLC, UT. I have been battling Melanoma since 2002. I lost a leg in 2005. I went through the microbiome/fecal transplant treatment which ended in May of 2021. The long term effects are still unknown, but I feel better, eat well, get exercise, take supplements and fast. I'm so glad to hear other docs talk about this treatment and the positivity this is having.

You guys are amazing. Cancer can't live in a alkaline body. 😊 praying for my aunt Kim who is battling stage 4 cancer and lots of autoimmune diseases. 🙏💜🌻

I have been practising the Mindfulness of Breathing technique kzfaq.infoUgkxIIDVgnLN8pF_fPOyoZ1nTjbLvvZcib6r as taught in this CD for about 2 years having read about it in Paramananda's Change Your Mind book and taken a real liking to it. However at times I struggle to remain focused on the breathing and thought that at such times this guided version might suit me. So after two years I finally decided to buy it! The first 7'24 of Track 1 of the CD is a body relaxtion which I do not use: I don't like body relaxation techniques and I find 27' just a little too long for meditation. The remaining 20' of gentle, guided meditation helps me tremendously to relax and stay focused. I find him's voice very soothing and whilst he is present to guide you through the 4 stages of the meditation, his presence is not intrusive or distracting. For the past two years I have tried to follow this technique as best I can with gentle meditation music despite music not being recommended. Having used this CD a couple of times I think I will try from now on to adopt a new routine of no music and just this CD as I find it so helpful. I realise now that the music really is distracting and I have enjoyed listening to the ambient sounds around me which I am normally unaware of. I can not comment on the other 2 tracks of Metta or Walking Meditation as I bought the CD solely to help me with the Mindfulness of Breathing and it does just that - very effectively. In my opinion this CD is money very well spent as it will guide you through a thoroughly useful and beneficial meditation technique and I don't think you can put a price on that.

I've eaten a starch-based vegan diet for ~15 years and have always had excellent digestion. Then in mid-October I got food poisoning from a frozen burrito, and have had IBS for about 3 weeks. Trying to very slowly rebuild the microbiome, and it makes me appreciate what you take for granted when your digestion works right.

Hi guys, I'm in total agreement with you. We were designed to live in harmony with plant based food. After 6 months of changing my diet, I'm of blood pressure tablets and various inhalers plus I've lost weight. Hallelujah. Love from Spain ❤

I agree with this perspective. The only thing I would say is that meat is not bad. I do believe that people over eat meat and processed foods. I think there is a balance in there somewhere. Meat should be eaten like 2 or 3 times a week. But plants should be very important in our diet. Also eating less in general. Over eating can cause inflammation too.

This should have millions of views! People need to know this as so many are sick and knowledge is power, and this is life changing.

It's a shame I can only give this episode one thumbs up. It deserves a whole lot more! Can't wait for Dr. B's return!

Rich brings so much value it’s literally insane. Maybe I’m just health obsessed, but it’s shocking that he isn’t even more known. Another guy who has kept me going and inspired me on a deep fucking level.

I've been under a rock and only just discovered Dr B. Such a great podcast and interview. So likeable & humble.

If only people who desperately need to change their first l diet for existing health issues WOULD LISTEN to the 1000s of podcasts such as this one. My siblings have multiple health issues... obesity, depression anxiety and more, one has been in hosp for s week. They do not listen even when they know this info is available.

The comments section is almost as health-promoting as the information in the Podcasts. Terribly grateful at a world where such people as y'all exist - sure, things are f'd up some but this place also exists.

Wow! I will be getting these books. I have had gut issues since early childhood. Had amoxicillin given by Dr. throughout my childhood. I haven’t felt good throughout my adult life EVER. Am turning 60 this year. I’m feeling very emotional about this info I’ve heard on this podcast, I pray it helps me. Thank you,

Lentils are a key , Its a biblical food , one that people defended with their lives.This is a food with significance ,It is a deserving food , humble but life encouraging. God Bless the research . ❤❤❤❤

Any interview with Prof. Thomas Seyfried will help understanding why the information is available but why it is not shared with us from doctors, YET.

Intermittent fasting is also very important for health and autophagy!

This is the most important podcast I’ve ever listened to! For so many years I’ve listened to really great doctors on both sides of the diet wars - really credible individuals who are producing solutions and who have their legions of followers. There always seemed to have been two truths coexisting at the same time in a kind of medical paradox. The fact that two different people, with two different biomes, respond differently to different diets can be explained now. I always knew that the results themselves which is to say that the people who were so ardently testifying that a particular diet had helped them heal - these results and these people were ALL correct all along. For myself, this is the first time I genuinely feel that I know the correct direction of travel for my own efforts at solving my own issues. I have hope and I cannot thank doctor Will and Rich Roll enough for pushing this out into the world. You two gentleman are going to be helping an infinite number of people who desperately need this message. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am deeply grateful.

If you want to improve your gut health please try breathing exercises. For the last two years I’ve been practising the Wim Hof breathing method twice a day. It has changed everything for me. Miraculous would be an understatement. The cold therapy is not for me, however, the breathing is incredible. Try it you won’t regret it.

Just in the previous two weeks, have I “discovered” Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. I dare say that discovery will be the greatest asset I will have added in 2023 to health, if not for a lifetime. Thank you.

Crash notes: -Fiber = Plants and mushroom -Prebiotic feeds microbes and microbiome: 1. Fiber - Short-fatty acids 2. Resistance starches - potatoes 3. Polyphenols - colors in plants - Resveratrol - peanuts - grapes -Plant points = the game to add plants to your meals -Each 5 % of fiber you add in your diet increase your protection against melanoma cancer of 30 % (not sure - I should rewatch this section!) -High histamine foods = fermented, chocolat, alcool, vinager, avocato, tomato, eggplant, fish, spinach = stop eating for two weeks and see if allergy symptoms diseapear

Thank you for this conversation Dr. B and Rich Roll. I am always open to contrarian ideas as this is how we expand our knowledge and possible ways to experiment which is the key moving past current plateaus/paradigms.(plateau is essentially homeostasis of all the current inputs) I will take this opportunity to share my personal experience and hopefully can add to this on-going conversation. Going low-carb healed my chronic knee pain, I went from barely running 1 mile(the pain stopped me), to now running almost every day, up to almost 400 miles in 60 days, my breathing improved, my energy levels are through the roof(I went from sleeping 8 hours a day waking up tired to now only needing 3-4 hours), my cognitive function is through the roof. I'm watching close to 12 hours of youtube content at 2x speed(curating info for my community), whereas before I could barely take in 2 hours of content before reaching my neural edge. I also don't feel hungry all day like I used to, which has really helped my overall sense of well-being and have stable energy and focus all day. (went to sleep at 11pm, and woke up at 2am today before my alarm, whereas before I would go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 7am still tired, kind of mind blowing) This has been absolutely life-changing for me as I've struggled with depression and all kinds of mental ailments, which are now all gone. My relationships with my family have also experienced miraculous healing. I don't consume any caffeine at all, yet have more energy and focus that my peers who rely on it daily to feel normal. I appreciate the conversation and always looking to experiment with different approaches and my main focus is to zoom out and look into any mechanism that precedes the symptoms that most people are dealing with. So my thanks to Dr. B and Rich Roll! Epigenetic research shows that we are incredibly plastic when signaling gene expression. Every input can influence gene expression. Thoughts, emotions, beliefs, food, air, water, fasting, etc I'm going low-carb right now to heal my insulin resistance but my long term goal is metabolic flexibility which will take some time, at which point, I may run experiments with adding different sources of carbs. I have been dogmatic in the past on many topics, especially when I discover something new that has positive outcomes. In hindsight 20/20, I see this has often restricted my ability to experiment further and move past plateaus(acclimation). Plateaus = learn the next thing, or in other words, we've adapted to the current inputs. I have observed that most people focus too much on just food that we intake with our mouths, when we also need to consider what we see and hear. It's all energy and it all impacts our gene expression. There are global switches that we can tap into which will actually completely change how the body processes food, affects the microbiome, and ultimately influences our gene expression. Chronic stress, pathological emotions(shadow), limited and divisive beliefs directly disrupt our microbiome just as much as food we consume with our mouth. All inputs become outputs. (there is nuance there, as we are the train conductor for these energies) It's important to experiment and rebuild sensitivity to all inputs, through a diverse set of adaptation pathways and fasting from all different categories of inputs.. Once we can improve all our feedback systems, we won't have to depend on outsourcing our modus operandi like most of the human population does today. Our society has become so desensitized that we've lost the ability to self-regulate and are completely disconnected from nature and live in very narrow paradigms of limited dimensional theories rather than multidimensional direct experiences that honor all intelligences. Specialization reduces the holistic spectrum of data points we could be pulling from. At the core, we are energy alchemists. We want to look at the foundation of all life which is electricity. Blood ph(cellular voltage) and cellular oxygen levels can be influenced by so many different avenues. By narrowing our identity to a certain diet, we often lose the ability to transfer one type of energy to another. In general, food is a poor deal when it comes to energy exchange. To digest food, we require huge amounts of energy to produce the enzymes needed to break down food into something that is bioavailable to our body. Everyone has a different efficiency of function to this regard, as there are so many parameters that will influence the outcome and efficacy. Compound that with all the pesticides and toxins in our environment that end up blocking our receptors and disrupting our endocrine system and gut biome, the safest and most efficient source of energy is actually the sun, barefoot on the earth(grounding), and conscious breathing. And another source of energy, that has been largely neglected but shown to have powerful effects on our genetic expression is being around healthy people who have healthy biofield energies. We can transfer these free energy sources into actual macronutrients like fat, carbs, and protein. I require less sleep and food, because I surround myself as much as possible with these high quality inputs that require near zero energy to absorb. My aim of course isn't to find myself in an echo chamber, as our goal of energy acquisition is ultimately to use that to serve others and help others recover their own souls that get lost in this modern world that is wrought with so many pitfalls and traps. It has been shown that people who contribute to their communities and make positive impacts have far less pathologies and mental, physical, and emotional unrest. It's all about energy alchemy, transmuting one type of energy to another. Food is only one category of energy in this electric universe. I hope that anyone reading this that feels triggered will look within, as any negative emotional reaction is a sign of repression, and I say this with compassion and empathy because I struggled with this in the past. Everyone is on a different journey in life, but we all share the same universal energy field. Repressing parts of ourselves that were rejected in our childhood is also a very energy hungry process. It's like having background tasks open on our computer. We wear these identities that are often limited in our true nature, and act as a barrier for energy to move in and out. These social masks or Personas as Carl Jung describes them, become heavy and cumbersome to sustain energetically. Taking off the mask means we are allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and authentic. It's an uncomfortable process but necessary in order to truly tap into our grand design and offer our unique essence to the collective macro biome of our species. If a diverse microbiome is necessary for holistic health and well-being in our individual bodies, we can also zoom out and see that our planet needs macro biome diversity of people to combat the primordial forces of entropy and tap more into the constructive forces of syntropy. If you made it this far, I commend you! Sending you love and light me to you, through the plasmatic universe. Dey

I never pooped better since I started carnivore, so i am confused about the fiber argument. Also i've suffered with anxiety and depression all my life and the mental clarity I had through carnivore was something i hadn't experienced in 20 years!

Dr. B is so well spoken and knowledgeable, I could listen to him all day.

Being whole food-plant based WFPB, I eat a large amount of fiber but maybe not as much as some people who are bigger or exercise large amounts. I eat 70-90 grams daily. This is primarily from black beans, whole wheat pasta, and whole wheat bread with a considerable amount from chia seeds. The rest comes from fruits and vegetables. When I eat some common foods day after day gas is not a problem. Digestion is generally very good. I am rarely constipated. When I was on the standard food, constipation was frequent. The best way I describe WFPB is freedom. Freedom from addictive foods I no longer eat. Freedom from heavy weight. Freedom from medical conditions that otherwise would have been inevitable and progressive. I don't doubt some people can make it work eating small amounts of meat, dairy, processed foods, but I am not one of those people.

I did fasting for big bowels problems and did work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My now 3 year old son had aml at 18 months and a stem transplant and he had a high diversity - he went from 13% prognosis. 17 months after his transplant he’s classed as 97% probability of cure

The information contained in this podcast is incredible and life changing. It's a 10/10 from start to finish.

If ppl do not suffer on carnivore diet, go for it!! Gut is complicated and way beyond vege vs meat.

Dr Natasha Campbell Mcabride a neurologist and nutritional medicine doctor and who created the GAPS diet (gut and psychology) to treat autism , ADHD and gut brain connection has written about plant based diets as being cleansing short term but not nourishing long term. Eg Gut healing and sealing collagen found in bone broth.

THIS WHOLE VIDEO!! 🎉🎉🤘🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎯 and especially the sh*t talkin part they get through smoothly with humor and professionalism - so awesome. Rich is the perfect ingredient to every interview recipe!

I’d love to hear what doctor B has to say about SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)

I was diagnosed with UC over 20 years ago. It's so sad that traditional Gastroenterologists are not trained in all the things discussed here. Thank you so much for this conversation/information!

I've been vegetarian and vegan for almost 30 years. I exercised and ate very cleanly. The only time I ate badly was on a holiday or birthday when I allowed myself to splurge on dessert. I ran and exercised daily and carried 200 pounds on my 5'4" body. I developed leaky gut syndrome, mass cell activation syndrome, and anaphylaxis, as well as allover eczema, acne, and seborrhea of the scalp. I was very vitamin and mineral deficient too until I switched to a carnivore diet and all of that cleared up. My A1C, blood sugars, and bad cholesterol levels normalized. I no longer have joint pain, brain fog, chronic fatigue, or acne and I dropped 50 pounds without killing myself with daily exercise. I will admit that I cannot indulge in dairy products or egg whites as dairy produces mucus in me and eggs can irritate my skin. A plant-based diet is not one size fits all just as a high protein diet may not work well with some people too.

My family absolutely loves Dr. B and his leadership on nutrition. He is so easy to listen to and he explains everything so well that even non-science people can understand. I love his approach to these topics and he genuinely seems like a good guy and an amazing doctor! We love you Dr. B!!

Im not sure if I totally agree about the negatives affects of the carnivore diet. I think some people do well on all veggies. I think some people do well on all meat. I was eating a mostly plant based diet, literally like 90% plants. I had two eggs and a half a can of tuna a day and then the rest was veggies. I felt great for a year. But after that I started feeling weird. Like loss of strength, loss of explosion during sports . Balance issues. Concentration issues. Always hungry and tired. As soon as I added meat back into the equation, boom! Everything came back plus more! Blood pressure is low as well. Cholesterol levels are normal. I had a stress test to find out my heart is almost to pro athlete level. Now I eat a 60% meat and 40% other like fruits/veggies and complex carbs. I don't know man. People are so different and its hard to just say you should just eat this and that.

I've been following Will since his first podcast with Rich and I brought his book. I've just done a short course to improve my microbiome. I'm mostly plant based and eat a large selection of plants each week. My diet most aligns with the Mediterranean diet. I lost 5kg in a month without even thinking about it, my partner has been loving it and making much more plant based food. I feel more energised and have far less gut issues. A big fan and he makes the changes so simple - eat as many types of plants in a week as you can

I woke up to you this morning, and I already shared. My family and friends need this as well as myself. I started an indoor garden to help with fresh food. I messed up my gut a few months ago with laxatives and Roland's with fiber. I ended up going to the hospital. After that visit. I no longer take those products. I stay away from antibiotics and I know good gut health is good brain health. So I'm still working on it. Thank-you

I had severe dysbiosis for nearly 40 years from being raised on antibiotics. When you decide to change your diet and look after your gut after being on a very poor diet for years, you won't have excellent results at first. You first need to get rid of the bad guys, and to do that you need a low dose antibiotics 🙆 I decided to go for it and then flood my body with the good stuff and it worked. The protocol actually worked.

If the interviewer is a vegan, you get a doctor that encourages that direction, if the interviewer is a carnivore, you'll get all the possible studies that support carnivore oriented people, I guess we all gotta become experts in reading pubmed articles, cause it seems we can't stop this duality.

Just a wonderful interview gentlemen! Bravo! My 8 and 5 year old WFPB grandsons have been "smashing broccoli sprouts" since they were infants as well. In fact, I purchased a sprout growing subscription so they would always have their beloved fresh 🥦 sprouts! Thanks again.🥰

I have crohn's disease, almost died from it in 2009 had most my large intestine removed and I never wish it on anyone. I've been in remission for a few years now I've been in and out of flare ups. I'm not 100% but pretty close and just thankful to where I am now. I have heard about depression also being inflammatory related....pretty much most all disease starts in the gut and a lot is inflammatory related.

Great information. The first human was Adam, and he was made of the dust of the ground. That's where the human body gets it's microbes from.

Thank you! I spent a weekend away with acquaintances and i felt obliged to eat as they did....im still suffering 5 days on so its been very helpful to hear you say our gut likes rhythim. X😊

Simly Amazing!!! Mind Blowing!!! My mum is just finnishing her cancer treatment, and hearing all this everything makes so much sense. Thanks to Dr. B. she is on a whole food plant based diet for 1 year by now and she is thriving! Thank you for this life saving podcast!!!

I healed my colitis through adding coconut oil to my food!

It's so simple. The earth provides all that we need. Clean water,clean air. Animals all have a function. Plants for every need. Nutrients,beauty and medicinal properties. Too bad we have destroyed so much of it! We have each other for support. Let's help each other get back to the only environment we can survive in in the entire universe!

Fiber is emphasized throughout. I know for a fact, fiber from flax seeds together with fennel seeds gives a nice solid bulk to poop, own experiment. Just need to ensure to hydrate a lot as well. Generous cup of vegetables along with meals also goes a long way.

Rich, I listen to podcasts all morning long.... I have to say, you are the BEST in how a conversation flows, your respect in allowing the guest to speak and your questions. BRAVO! Great thanks to the Doctor for your wide view of life changing information. LOVED IT!👏

to quote a genius friend......the more you know .....the more you know you don't know

I learned about Dr. Weston A Prince 20 years ago. He thought about fermentation in the 50's or 60's.

I love this, but also found myself in tears a couple of times. I am beyond thrilled that science is FINALLY really delving into what matters most to the way in which life requires us to work, but it is also somewhat frustrating. This is what I have been trying to share for years with clients, friends and family. But was told I needed to not talk or add this to my work since I am neither a doctor nor nutritionist. This idea that without a degree or without the "belief" of the science world, then something does not exist until studied. This is what Ayurveda is based on and it has been around for more than 7,000 years. It is the understanding of ritam. That everything within the material world has a perfect balance and we are meant to ensure we don't take more than we give and balance everything we do with the bodies we were born in. I appreciate it the work but damn it, it is time to start acknowledging there is so much wisdom out there that doesn't need to be studied before being implemented. Really...what would have been bad about encouraging healthy diets before this. Now, let science study how different doshas/body types need differing foods to keep their unique systems in balance. Start with Vatta, Pitta, Kapha.

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS PODCAST. THIS IS INVALUABLE, LIFE TRANSFORMATIVE INFORMATION. WE REALLY ARE WHAT WE EAT. I CAN’T GET PAST CERTAIN PARTS BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP REWINDING AND LISTENING TO THE INFORMATION OVER AND OVER.

Several times a day...constipated, gas and bloating incomplete everytime it feels -> plantfroof for years (this issue tho started just a few years ago, crohns and colitis diagnosed) and just wanna get back to normal. Tried several things from TCM & naturopathic attemps etc... Glad you guys are out there (Simon & all the other great humans out there too) - keeps me motivated

Very enjoyable and educational programme. Funny the psyllium was mentioned for constipation. I brought it back to the UK with me while on holiday in Europe. I take a lot of fibre but still struggle with constipation. Now, you mentioned magnesium sulfate, oxide and citrate. Mum buys these bitter waters as a form of laxative which I had tried and that work a magic for constipation. I just checked what they contain and it is magnesium sulfate!!!! These cost about £1 in Europe where I come from but in the UK about £4.50 per 500ml. So very good to know and hear all your advice. I have been making my own sourdough for about 4 years now, also drink kefir and love sauerkraut. It is all about microbiome for a good health. Thanks Doc :)

Incredible information simplified! As someone that has suffered from chronic constipation for over 10 years I took your advice to use magnesium and within a few days I am flushed out like never before!!! Basically addicted to laxatives and it brought me to tears that a simple solution solved my issue in a few days!! Thank you!!!

This interview was incredible! I feel like so many people are dealing with bloating and there’s so many factors and possible reasons for it. I feel like this book is going to be so comprehensive and help people. Dr. B’s sincerity and really wanting to help people is palpable and I know he has the capability of touching so many lives. If we could all feel really good, just imagine what kind of world this would be!!!

The details of what the keto diet consisted of in the study really matters. Dirty keto like Atkins is a lot of processed junk, poor quality foods and inflammatory omega 6 veg seed oils. Even garbage like sucralose (gut biome bomb) is ok. Doing healthy keto doesn't entirely eliminate fruit or reduce fiber. My fiber intake increased greatly eating massive salads and mixed veggies daily. Reduce starch, yes, but veggies and plants make up the bulk of "healthy keto". Salads, greens, peppers, cruciferous and root vegs, sprouts, microgreens, all kinds of berries, melons... I even have wedges of mango and orange sections. The main thing removed is sugar plus processed and starchy foods, like bread, corn, pasta, beans, cookies. Protein is moderate. I mostly eat fish, eggs and spirulina. My fats are typically from coconut, olive oil, avocado, butter, cheese/dairy, and lots of nuts. I have kimchi, kombucha, raw kefir, cabbage/sauerkraut, and other pre and pro-biotics. This diet should use organic, pasture raised and grass fed/finished whenever possible. I had no vaccines. Had mild Covid once. Four days of aches, sleep and unproductive cough. I'd love to see the keto diet details because there's a huge range in what's acceptable for those on Atkins for weight loss, vs healthy or clean keto, which emphasizes nutrient dense foods with lots of fiber.

1:40:15 boy, that sounds affordable as hell for such an amazing theoretical benefit!

Dr. B. Is an excellent communicator not only in this interview (I ended up watching the whole three hours in one seating), but in every interview of him I have seen. He is a monthly regular guest on Exam Room Live (KZfaq channel and podcast). I watch every interview of him and end up watching the whole interview every time. Also I started reading his book Fiber Fueled and could not put it down.

Did i miss the part of ptsd and the microbiome? It really intrigues me! Wonderful, educational episode🙏🏻 thank you so much for sharing this wisdom. As an autismmom i would love an episode on supplements/ foods for our kids❤

Dr. B. is a great Renaissance man. I like his great insights into diet and health but admire he is very environmentally aware! Thanks Dr. B, for educating us on the benefits of biodiversity in natural ecosystems too! His views remind me of the One Health approach. Thanks for your great insights, Dr. B! Hoya saxa!

I was sent this link from my physical therapist a few months ago. I listened to this and it has changed my life! I am now on the ZOE plan and am feeling the results of eating for my biology. Thank you Dr. Will and Rich.

About lo carb- my husband is a Late onset diabetic (2 becoming #1) due to Agent Orange. Grains are out, nuts are in. Our largest meal is the evening. We have a meat or fish protein then two veggies; a mixed salad and cooked veggies. Home grown Russian red Kale makes a great fresh salad with cabbage. We use a lot of cruciferous, cooked or raw. Berries are also our friend.

Thank you for this incredible gift. Living in Arkansas, it can be difficult to find like minded people in terms of how to eat to promote health. This information and format is life-changing. Thank you Thank you thank you!!!

Dr. B is very helping! Allergies are different from food intolerance! Vinegar is very delicious for me! The Plant Fed Gut !The Fiber Fuel !

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is just so AWESOME..!!!

Just wow! Such a wonderful interview with you both. Dr. B is so good at explaining & illustrations. A humble man that shares because he cares. Rich you are the best interviewer. Thank you both. About to listen to this again! ❤️🙏

This is an excellent podcast! It is so refreshing to have the interviewer actually know the subject and both give life changing information to the viewers 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I love how this video shows so many of the paradoxes of modern science. Spot on when the guest says you can't really generalize from mouse studies. That's why we should not have had such a huge role out of the experimental vaccines when we had proven, peer reviewed protocols for early treatment and people successfully using versions of that as preventives. Hallelujah that you're finally talking about fecal implantation to improve gut Microbiome. My question is… Why did it take you guys so long to go there? Jordan Rubin was talking about that in 2004. It was part of his dramatic healing story, he had Crohn's disease. A few years later we find that implanting fecal matter from thin people into fat people caused them to lose weight and vice versa. Micro biomes matter and yet only now, now that you have discovered that each cancer cell (which is a human cell gone rogue) has a microbiome, and that fecal implantations can possibly improve outcomes in cancer treatment… Now it's a thing. Poop has always been valuable, lol. It's called manure. But the fact that it's being looked at now in more detail is a great example of how it takes 15 to 20 years average for helpful ideas in the world of medicine to be heard about by the public, or put forth by doctors. Of course, I don't know any doctors who are putting this idea out yet. Probably just a handful. The prebiotic and probiotic situation has also been understood for a long, long time. Why have we waited so long When people have been healing themselves using probiotic and prebiotic foods for so long? Is it because scientists can maybe make some money off of it? Score some research dollars, create a new treatment that cost a lot of money that is only administered in a doctors office or a clinic or a hospital? Sorry for the sarcasm but I just been a couple of years watching millions of people die from lack of available information. After the hope I had when you recognized that a few male studies wasn't enough to go on, I was pretty shocked when you started assuming all kinds of things about the plant based diet versus "unhealthy" meat. You cannot assume those things. You're going to have to drill down just like you're trying to do on the Microbiome issues. There is no such thing as a "general keto diet" in real application. People are eating keto bars which are basically like candy bars when it comes to how they impact metabolism. This completely excludes the people whose diets are very rich in Butyric acid, and our healing long-standing health problems from vegan and vegetarian diets by eating high fat moderate protein diets, sometimes only succeeding without plant food. When these paradoxes exist, you are missing variables that make a huge difference in either life and death or quality of life. There are people who have struggled to do everything as well as possible on plant-based diet and they just got sicker and sicker. You've got to follow your own advice or you will be responsible for a part of hurting other people by jumping to conclusions like that. In the meantime, if something is working (Like treating Covid or using diet to heal), try not to tell people that it doesn't work because of whatever a limited amount of research you've done or read about. I think the thing that bothers me the most is that for a scientist, they don't take real life situations into as much account as they do their research studies which are by nature not great at controlling variables. Especially in the field of nutrition. I want to see scientist asking why some people get better when their diet or lifestyle doesn't appear to makes sense to them. Especially when it doesn't make sense.

Thank you for always having helpful, amazing people on your show!

I just gave birth and decided to eat healthier- moving in a plant predominant direction. I threw in the towel with the WFPB diet years ago after 6 months of extreme bloating. My digestion has never been good and a low fiber diet was the only way to cope with the bloating. Excited about the new book! hopefully, I can heal my gut so I can eat all the plants!

Saying Thank you is an understatement. Plase, both of you, stay healthy and strong physically, mentally, and emotionally because y'all are spitting huge knowledge & hope for the millions of us that are lost in the confusion known as modern life. And still I have to Thank you! Can't wait to get Dr. B's new book!!

Rich, really appreciate the way you are asking the questions and leading the talk, clarifying important points in simple language. Thanks

I was dealing with a 26 year old who was doing energy drinks, vaping and tik tok had depression, anxiety, etc. I told him that both Buddha and Jesus would have massive anxiety issues if they did has he did. I have notice this generation does have a boomrang effect on wanting to do tactical learning and hands on work.
