REPLAY: The Microbiome: Understanding Impacts of Soil Quality, Polyphenols, and Fasting with Dr. Adrian Lopresti and Dr. Emeran Mayer

In this week's podcast replay, Dr. Emeran Mayer, gastroenterologist and brain-gut expert and our ambassador Dr. Adrian Lopresti discuss the various factors from childhood development, every day life and our environment can all impact our gut microbial balance.

Dr. Mayer brings insights into the impacts of maternal stress, diet, environment, and birth experience on a child’s overall gut health. He also shares how the Earth’s microbial balance influences soil quality which then has a follow on effect of the amount of polyphenols in our fresh fruits and vegetables.

They also discuss how that polyphenol content in food not only provides various health benefits but can also modulate the microbial abundance in our guts. Finally, the episode wraps up with an interesting discussion on time restricted eating (TRE) and how it can provide vast health benefits, not only on a macro level but also on gut function and at the microbiome level as well.

This podcast is supported by excellent resources such as books, infographics, and articles which should not be missed!
