Gastroenterologist and New York Times best-selling author of ‘Fiber Fuelled’ Dr Will Bulsiewicz talks to Paul about the critical role the gut biome plays in mental health
It can be easy in a fast-paced world to have a diet of ultra-processed convenience food but with the majority of individuals deficient in dietary fibre, Dr Will explains why it’s vital to make changes that are low and slow to allow your microbes the opportunity to adapt for the benefit of your mind and body
- We now understand we are a superorganism, joined to trillions of invisible microscopic organisms
Our digestive process is dependent on microorganisms
Your gut can potentially affect your mood in a number of different ways
There are benefits to eating a more inclusive plant-based diet, data now suggests that you can reduce your risk of COVID, influenza, pneumonia, and heart disease
Increasing your dietary fibre can reduce your exposure to the 7 top causes of death
A vast number of people are dietary fibre deficient
The pace and lifestyle of people can result in diets that are over-reliant on ultra-processed foods
You have to want to change and set obtainable goals to be successful
You cannot heal the gut unless trauma in your history is resolved
You need to address all aspects of your health to make a difference
The dietary choices you have made in the last 3 months are reflected in your gut microbes
You are adapted to what you are eating currently and your gut microbes need the opportunity to adapt to any dietary changes
Dietary choices do affect the menopause and research indicates that a clean diet high in plant dietary fibre has a positive effect
‘Gut health and mindset are a two-way street’
Our microbiome is unique and individual, no two people on the planet have the same microbiome’
‘This is not a sprint, it’s a marathon so it’s better to make small changes that are sustainable’
