October 29, 2024 Understanding Gut Microbiota and Selecting Probiotics in Yogurt: A Stanford PhD Discusses Human Microbiomes
The human body hosts a staggering number of microorganisms, but what beneficial substances can they produce? In this episode, Dr. Janice from Stanford and her friend, Dr. Sisi, dive into an in-depth discussion on human microbiota, focusing on gut microbes, probiotics, and issues related to antibiotic misuse and resistance. Dr. Sisi, who holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering and works in microbial detection, shares insights on the connection between gut microbiota and health from a professional perspective. You'll learn about the astonishing number of microbes in the human body, how they help maintain a balanced state of health, and ways to nurture our “gut friends” through a healthy diet. Additionally, we discuss probiotics, live cultures in yogurt, and how a varied diet can enrich the beneficial microbes in your gut. If you’ve ever wondered why gut microbiota is so essential to health or wanted to know how antibiotic overuse impacts these microorganisms, tune in to find out!
What you'll hear:
01:58 How many microorganisms are in the human body?
03:27 What roles do microorganisms in the digestive tract play?
04:48 The natural birth process exposes newborns to maternal microbes, transitioning them out of a sterile environment.
07:00 How can we consume yogurt in ways that effectively enrich microbial diversity?
14:23 What kinds of diets help to cultivate a diverse microbiome?
18:50 Do probiotics actually benefit our bodies?
21:57 Antibiotic misuse is a global issue.
29:44 Case studies on bacterial infections and the importance of prevention.
Host: Dr. Janice, a Stanford graduate with nearly 15 years of experience studying and working in the U.S., is a talented biotech entrepreneur known for her academic achievements and passion for life. She has published multiple top academic papers and founded N1 Life in Silicon Valley. The company combines cutting-edge molecular and computational technologies to design and develop innovative drug delivery methods for the pharmaceutical industry.

Currently, she leads analysis and research development in the gene and cell therapy department at Stanford University, continuing to stay informed about developments in environmental protection and microbiology.
Key Notes:
1. The human body is a complex ecosystem where humans interact with their internal microbiomes.
2. The human gut microbiome, numbering around 3.8 × 10^13 microbes in a typical adult male, outnumbers human host cells (3.0 × 10^13). Each person hosts at least 160 of the 1,150 species that colonize the human gastrointestinal tract.
3. Bacterial metabolism is vastly more complex than human metabolism, with gut microbial genes outnumbering human protein-coding genes by 150 times.
4. Gut microbiome diversity is closely linked to human health, with lower diversity in individuals with obesity, diabetes, or gut diseases.
5. A healthy microbiome:
- Secretes antibacterial substances, creates a thick barrier, protects gut mucosa, and prevents gut permeability.
6. Certain gut microbes can strongly induce colonic regulatory T cells (Tregs).
7. The role of dietary fiber:
- Maintains microbiome diversity, protects gut mucosa, and without it, some bacteria begin consuming substances on the gut mucosal lining.
8. The fermentation of indigestible fibers produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that nourish the body, contribute to muscle function, and may help prevent chronic diseases, such as certain cancers and bowel disorders. Clinical studies suggest SCFAs could benefit ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
9. “Prebiotics” are “non-digestible food components that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of certain colon bacteria, benefiting the host's health.”
10. Common gut microbiota include large families such as Prevotella, Ruminococcus, Bacteroides, and Firmicutes, while anaerobic bacteria like Peptostreptococcus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Clostridium populate the colon. These microbes prevent harmful bacteria overgrowth by competing for nutrients and attachment sites on the mucosal lining.
11. Probiotics Commonly Found in Supplements:
- Culturelle: Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG)
- Other probiotics for the digestive system:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, including Enterohemorrhagic E. coli and shiga-toxin-producing E. coli

October 22, 2024 Analysis of the Mysterious Anti-Aging Ingredients NAD+, NMN, and NR
Why does human vitality and energy gradually decline with age? Welcome back to "Airdrop from the Sky." Today, we will delve into a topic that significantly affects our quality of life—anti-aging. With advancements in technology, more and more new technologies and products are being developed, and many companies are entering this field. We will reveal the key chemical components that can help us delay aging and enhance vitality through scientific research. We will focus on NAD+ and its precursor molecules NR and NMN, which are vital participants in our body's cellular metabolism and energy production. We will share the latest scientific discoveries and address questions you may have: What benefits do these supplements really offer our bodies? Can supplementing with NAD+ truly make us feel younger?
「What You Will Hear」
includes an introduction to Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast and theories at 01:20, an analysis of popular anti-aging ingredients NMN, NR, NAD+, and their relationships at 02:56, and a discussion on how NAD+ in human cells participates in energy production, which declines with age at 05:38.
