You Are Heroic with Brian Johnson

+1: #905 The Origin of Disease

In our last couple +1s, we’ve been hanging out in our guts. (Good times!)   Surprisingly, that’s where we discovered 90% (!) of our serotonin and 70-80% (!!) of our immune systems.   Crazy, eh?   Today we’re going to spend another moment on the subject.   Get this: Although modern medicine pretty much ignores the gut as its standard of care focuses on alleviating symptoms rather than Optimizing systems, the idea that our guts play a central role in our well-being isn’t a new idea.   Let’s jump into a time machine and rewind the clock about 2,400 years.    Destination: Ancient Greece.    It’s time to meet the father of medicine: Hippocrates.   You know what he said? “All disease begins in the gut.”   Dr. Gundry echoes that wisdom and adds a little bonus gem (via The Longevity Paradox) where he tells us: “As Hippocrates famously and wisely said, ‘All disease begins in the gut.’ The good news is that all disease can be stopped there as well.”   That’s Today’s +1.   What’s ONE thing you KNOW you could be doing to Optimize your nutrition?   Is TODAY a good day to make that happen?   Fantastic.   High fives.   Low fives.   Mid fives. (Right around the gut!)   Etc.   Let’s do this!!!
