Fantastic video, Nick! The connection between stress and the microbiome is such a crucial topic, especially as more research highlights the gut-brain axis. I recently came across a study that complements your findings, showing how chronic stress can lead to dysbiosis, which in turn affects our mood and overall health. It's fascinating to see how the amygdala's role in emotion regulation can influence gut health through pathways like the vagus nerve. I also appreciate your emphasis on actionable takeaways; incorporating probiotics and fermented foods can be a game-changer for many. For anyone looking to dive deeper, I recommend checking out the paper you linked, as it provides a wealth of information on the mechanisms at play. Keep up the great work in shedding light on these important connections in health and wellness!

Thought is a major driver of emotions, which as you are describing impacts gut health. I actually completely healed an egg intolerance of about 5 years purely through meditation in just one sitting (if anyone is curious I can explain exactly how). The way we think and the content of what we think about creates a physiological reaction. You can be doing the same things with your body, but thinking differently, and therefore causing more healing or more anti-healing in the body. One way I like to put it is there are healing thoughts like forgiving thoughts, thoughts of possibility, or gratitude, which feel calming and happy. And then there are destructive thoughts like holding grudges, thoughts of limitation, fear, or worry. Being aware that thought drives emotions, and positive emotions drive all sorts of positive physiological processes, is very important and I think largely under-appreciated mechanism for healing. In my own mind, I think a continual stream of forgiving and positive thoughts is a much more effective painkiller than an OTC anti inflammatory. I believe one day research will show this and it will be common knowledge. Maybe not for another 100 years though, since you can't really profit from having people realise how free and powerful their mind is.

Stressing out about stress is even more unhealthy than stress itself. There might come a time where we don't exploit our fellow citizen through pressure and work. There might come a time where we don't look down on the "lazy" while at the same time get angry or annoyed by someone who passes us by materialistically or status-wise. But as of 2024 it's better to recognize that getting away from stress most of the time means pushing through and staying positive aka "fighter's attitude". This is coming from someone who had 2 burnouts and had to develop a "middlefinger"-attitude to this pretentious society. Anyway good video and I like the tips at the end of the video.

The more we learn about the body, the more natural healing modalities start to make sense. They are not just placebo, there are actual physiological reasons why they work because most of them are about stress reduction. Depending on what modality is used, the effect on the autonomic nervous system varies. So some are more powerful than others.

I use energy healing techniques and as wacky as they may sound, they do affect the autonomic nervous system very powerfully and that is why they work so well.

I feel like these kinds of techniques are the future and the more studies come out which investigate the autonomic nervous system the more these "woo-woo" sounding things start to make sense. Then one day they come to the conclusion "Hey, these are really powerful techniques, so sad that it took us 100 years to figure that out".

I'm currently thinking about a topic and would like to ask you a question about it: What would be your nutritional approach for a young, metabolically healthy, lean (currently still high carb + high protein) athlete who wants to build a lot of muscle but also wants to gain metabolic flexibility?
@nicknorwitzPhD

Thanks for your kind words Sven. I don't have a boiler plate answer to your question, unfortunately, since it depends on sport, baseline diet, athletic goals, etc. In general, I think hitting protein at 1g/lb total body weight and resistance training 4-5d/w. If you like, try fasted workouts and include a mix of cardio (zone 2), HIIT, heavy/power activities. If your gut tolerates it, I'd try fermented foods. I think it's always interesting to try carb cycling at minimum re metabolic flexibility, although that doesn't need to be chronic keto. In the end, it's an n = 1 journey... give everything reasonable a try and see what lands... but when you try something give it a serious go... sometimes it takes time to adapt.

But I have a theory that the more traumatized a often marginalized population, the more often there religious services are much more ANIMATED, LOUD AND ENERGETIC, I’m thinking of a African American Baptist church I visited once in a rough part of town trying to talk them into starting a local youth program. That pastor was def pretty cool but he totally had a laugh at my phase after a service I sat through to talk after. He was like “you def didn’t grow up with that style of singing in church did you?!” lol. 😂. If you think about it, the line of though and poluvagal mechanisms to that along with history kinda make sense. Though if you ever notice people kinda salivating over those indigenous videos and music (quite good actually, def check out indigenous music) but the reason people kinda are drawn to this, is so much of the depictions of life and how to relate to things are in many ways more polyvagal based activities from throat singing dancing drumming nature caring for nature and each other. Like that stuff all screams the sort of community western capitalism has mostly destroyed in society over time as we worship THE 🐉 DRAGON.

@@nicknorwitzPhD hmm.. specific resources, like no, but the topics to be researching are for making your own I find the most crucial thing is to understand the nature of lacto bacillus from a bit of a microbiology article and then learn and thus can be done on KZitem etc, different ways of starting it so you don’t have to buy your own. Particularly how to create a starter culture without a yogurt container. As that’s just reusing one. You become much more capable when you can do it from rice water or something similar. Plus the lacto bacillus when it runs out of food to my knowledge it goes dormant till you feed it again, some lady fed hers like 4 years later from back of fridge and it popped back up, so before throwing out always try to restart. And then as far as using it in the garden, compost, soil drench, and even foilar spray on leaves, I’m still researching parts of that but it seems like it works as it’s one of the main bacteria in the soil food web. Lacto breaks down organic matter and has other functions which I’m reading about in this article: www.frontiersin.org/journals/microbiology/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2024.1347745/full I think learning about these two things you have the ability to culture what you need And keep it going without wasting a ton of flour or starches etc. And then using it in your garden is always a good thing. Nice thing is it’s an anerobic fermentation so it dosent need a bubbler. I’m also been trying out and investigating aerated compost teas though the trick with those is to check out dr. Elaine Ingram’s videos on composting and the closer to that you get the better as the process matters. Which is why some results are inconsistent with that, though it does help with plant growth and production it seems, the jury is still out on disease suppression for aerated compost tea, but more will be done I expect. Though lots of people sware by it. I get sense we will just get a more precise process for leveraging it at some point. Also you don’t have a kitchen compost, you have a compost area that you put kitchen stuff. The distinction is important as you would benefit from going on a walk or hike or bike ride or have lunch at a nearby forest preserve or ideal biome near you. You take a small like medicine bottle or so of soil from a few different places. And some dead leaves on the ground, not a lot like a handful or two, and if you can find some rotting wood grab some wood chips or parts you can take off. And if you ever come across roots, always keep them unless they diseased. Because soil has microbes, leaves and wood have fungi, and roots inside them can exist a type of mycorizal fungi that they can’t currently reproduce in a lab. It only grows in roots. And take all that, and add it to your compost and keep it reasonably moist (create a routine for watering or automate it, use decorated water that sat out for a day or two) And as far as gardening goes for NPK, most if not all your nutrition can often come from urine(nitrogen), wood ash(potassium), and bone meal(crushed up bones, can even make bone broth in pressure cooker before crushing and use it to make them really soft after like 5 hrs in there). And especially urine there is a slight ick factor for some people, though the reason it’s important outside of being free, is that it is something farmers use but also if we just as a society reuse our urine and follow guidelines for large groups(more strict than just a man peeing in a milk jug, I know what I eat and consume and take and have, I don’t know them but there are procedures for this and machines to even pasteurize it on large scale). Though the crazy thing, using it creates a ton less emissions and even helps us be more energy independent because the haber Bosch process that they use to extract nitrogen from N2 in the air, takes a ton of energy to feed billions of people and yet we are litterally just releasing it into sewage system and wasting it and sending it out to dead zones in oceans that are 8500 miles wide, like at a certain point it just becomes smart energy, sustainability and self reliance as well as mutual aid and local production wise, it works. Just if curious learn to use it. If women want to my understand is you need some sort of attatchment or something to prevent trickle down contamination, guys don’t have this issue we can often use it straight away as long as we don’t have a urinary tract infection. So between all those different things I’ve got a pretty strong garden going and learning to ferment and make various things my self.

stress also influence directly virulence of certain bugs and may directly cause leaky gut. I suppose the inverse pathway can alter our mood and stress level... if crazy panic stressful signals go up trough vagus nerve to the amygdala ... maybe we can feel awful and dizzy and sad

Here one that has been suffering with IBS for a long while. Improved my symptoms and reduced the frequency of flare-ups by cutting on most FODMAPs. Wanted to enhance gut microbiota so started adding kefir, kimchi, etc. My gut hated that, flare-ups were even worse when they happened. I wonder if there is a situation in which trying to "add" lactobacillus when the brain is impaired to signal for the glands to do so is counterproductive?

At 2:01 you mention a reciprocal action. I get that the amygdala talks to your good guy gut bugs, telling them to multiply or cull themselves, via these Brunner's glands . But I don't remember you saying anything about what the gut bugs say back to the amygdala, (presumably via the same Brunner's glands?). Are you going to cover that separately or is simply the lack of gastro intestinal discomfort, the comforting feedback the amygdala needs to tell the rest of your brain to relax?

@@nicknorwitzPhD OK, thanks. The video caught my eye because of this reciprocity. I briefly entertained the notion of a gut bug controlling our brains in a manner more insidious than simply through physical discomfort. A Rick and Morty script idea maybe.

Don't be so sure about lactobacillus being good, Guy Daniels here on KZitem puts some doubt on that assertion by comparing the microbiome populations of people with several conditions. Other families do have a mostly positive association meaning they are present in larger quantities in healthy control individuals but that's not always the case with lactobacillus.
