 IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn how butyrate and phospholipids keep your gut, cells and brain performing at their best. You’ll find out how your mucosal barrier defends against pathogens in your gut microbiome. You’ll also learn about discoveries in the field of cell membrane medicine. This focus determines how your body functions now and also how you age.

Jessica Kane Berman joins the show to share new information and interesting science about cellular health from the perspective of BodyBio, the company founded by her grandfather, Ed Kane, an inventor, health explorer and early biohacker. He went looking for answers to his own health issues in the 1980s and got deep into the science of fatty acid research and cell membrane medicine through blood testing.

BodyBio sticks to a very specific group of products, most notably butyrate and a phospholipid complex of phosphatidylcholine. Jess explains how true liposomal phosphatidylcholine and phospholipids get through to the cells to help rebuild that membrane. 

Here’s a few good things butyrate does in your gut:

• Helps maintain the thickness of the mucosal barrier—keeps the good in and the bad out
• Helps the expression of tight junctions and strengthens the gut wall
• Expresses MUC2: this produces mucus, which thickens your mucous lining
• Regulates T-Cells and helps lower cytokine release
• Increases microbiome diversity
• Anti-inflammatory properties help improve intestinal barrier function and mucosal immunity

Butyrate goes way beyond the gut to influence bone mass and density, asthma and allergies, histamine intolerance, body detoxification, inflammatory brain pathways, and mitochondrial function. Butyrate also can alter gene expression, protect against cancer, and regulate the body’s immune system.
