| 0:00.0 | They're cyanobacteria for oxygen. Those are found in like Olympic swimmers. |
| 0:04.0 | That's like how you can identify an Olympic swimmer is by the amount of cyanobacteria in their garage. |
| 0:09.0 | Really? |
| 0:10.0 | I think at the professional athlete level, they're all looking for ways to legally, without using a performance enhancement device, but to modify their biology, anything that they can do to close that last gap. Before and after a stressful event, whether it's like a UFC fight, and it's usually saliva, |
| 0:25.6 | stool, whatever they'll give me. And I measure how those bacteria change. And I'll try to correlate |
| 0:30.6 | the changes I see in the profile to papers that have talked about this bacteria does X, Y, and Z. |
| 0:35.6 | I know that there's enormity of connections between the gut microbiome and everything, |
| 0:40.2 | autoimmune, to human performance, to how our mood and emotions work, |
| 0:44.3 | but never did I understand that we can architect our own microbiome |
| 0:49.2 | to serve the goals that we have for our health outcomes. |
| 0:52.4 | There's a list of bacteria that I'm confident that I can isolate from a lot of different people. So I presented someone with like a menu, like, hey, this bacteria does this, this bacteria does that, like which ones you think would be valuable for you? There's a lot of people listening to this podcast. What benefit could they derive from working with craft microbiome to actually go in and re-architect the flora in their gut. |
| 1:11.6 | There are changes in the gut that happen years before the symptoms develop. |
| 1:14.6 | And one of the easiest things you can do is... |
| 1:17.6 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Ultimate Human podcast. I'm your host, human biologist Gary Brecker, where we go down the road of everything, anti-aging, biohacking, longevity, and everything in between. |
| 1:42.9 | And today's podcast is going to be a fascinating podcast. |
| 1:47.9 | I mean, first of all, because I am deeply, deeply interested in this subject. I never in my |
| 1:53.2 | entire lifetime knew that the gut microbiome not only could, I knew that it could serve you, |
| 2:02.8 | it could degrade your performance. |
| 2:08.3 | I know that there's enormous, there's enormity of connections between the gut microbiome and everything from autoimmune to human performance to how our mood and emotions work, but never did |
| 2:14.5 | I understand that we can architect our own microbiome to serve the goals that we |
| 2:20.8 | have for our health outcomes. And that is the most fascinating thing that we're going to delve into |
| 2:26.0 | today with our guest, Anders Corbe. Welcome to the podcast, my friend. Thank you for having me. |
