My Gut Health Journey
misc comments
Andrew Huberman discusses this at length, so does Dave Aspery. A lot of it has to do with the fiber we consume and what we consume. If necessary it may be helpful to kill off some gut bacteria to have a “fresh start”, using anti-biotics under the supervision of someone who truly understands this. Most people shouldn’t need this. Cutting out sugars, inflammatory foods (will depend on the person) including GMO wheat, dairy, and seed oils. Remove those, then replace them with high fiber and low inflammatory plants, legumes, and occasional (3x/week) use of ACV or fresh squeeze Lemmon juice. Only use EV organic coconut, olive, avocado, and grass fed butter. Over time the micro biome will heal and improve with the development of good bacteria. Intermittent fasting will speed this process up, at least it did for me.
Lesson to learn: instead of antibiotics, take vitamin C around the clock, since vitamin C doesn’t stay in the body for more than four hours, or you can read a book by Doctor Thomas Levy MD JD, he became a lawyer to defend his natural approach to medicine, he is also a renowned cardiologist
Fecal transplant is one way to treat c-diff that is not responding to antibiotics. Fecal matter from a healthy donor is transplanted into the intestine to restore healthy bacteria. I haven't watched the full podcast, so I'm not sure if this is the procedure the doctor had.
The answer is everyone must replace the probiotics after antibiotics treatment
To maintain gut health... each time.
