Speaker 1 explains that leaky gut relates to environmental stressors: we’re constantly being sprayed, eating foods with pesticides, stressed beyond belief, drinking excessive coffee (one cup is good, more than that is not), and alcohol acts as a sterilizer (one glass may be good, more than that is not). He emphasizes that balance is key to the microbiome, noting that an executive who is nonstop will eventually crash.
Speaker 0 asks for specific foods to incorporate and whether fiber is important, mentioning acacia fiber.
Speaker 1 says he is a big fan of sauerkraut and honey from his beehives. He notes the microbiome of the bees and the importance of bifidobacteria and lactobacillus, stating that "the poop of the bee is Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus—the two microbes we need to help us absorb sugar and calcium." He cites Albert Einstein: if the bee disappeared off the planet Earth, humans would have four years to live; he adds, “If the bifid disappeared off the face of the earth, because bifidobacteria is very important.” He has fruit trees near the beehives and uses preserved lemons; he does preserved lemons and adds them to his fruits.
Speaker 0 asks if preserved lemons are a fermented method.
Speaker 1 confirms: “That’s the way I do.” He notes preserved lemons can be good for people with SIBO, suggesting to put them in water and start incorporating them in food. He is big on honey, especially on meat, arguing that meat can be difficult to source where it’s coming from; even regenerative beef is not fully trustworthy. He uses honey on beef as a marination to help kill parasites. He uses salt and water to clean vegetables. He mentions blueberries and raspberries; he is not a fan of leafy greens for fiber but acknowledges fiber is very important and can be found in dates, prunes, pears, and figs. He warns that lettuce carries many microbes and, for someone with leaky gut, may not be a good thing; if someone loves lettuce, he suggests washing it very well because it’s exposed to the environment and trust is limited. He notes gluten is difficult, and new data may show that even celiac sprue involves a loss of microbes. He states that each microbe has a function and that when one is down, another may compensate, though data on this is not yet shown.
Speaker 1 introduces the concept of resilience, asking why some people tolerate antibiotics and others don’t. He defines resilience as more than the microbiome; it includes genetics. He suggests genetics play a big role and questions whether the genetics match the microbiome, noting that microbes are inherited from ancestors and asking whether adaptation is inherited as well.
