Summary
Have you heard of fecal implants? This is when the fecal matter from someone with healthy gut bacteria is transferred to the gut of someone with gut dysbiosis—and it works. While this sounds extreme, in today's digestive health landscape, this is a real option some people need to consider when they are suffering from Small Bacterial Intestinal Overgrowth (SIBO).
On this week's Yoga Talk Show, we'll discuss why digestive disorders are so common, and how the remedies can be counter-intuitive such as reducing fiber, lactose, and even fruit.
------------
What You´ll Learn:
- Why fecal transplants might save your gut
- Why you should limit fiber, fructose, lactose, resistant starch and most sugar alcohols
- How erythritol could be the most gut-friendly sugar alcohol
- How the 3lbs of gut bacteria in our gut can be your friends or foe
- How low fiber or "elemental diet" could improve bacterial overgrowth
Links & Resources:
- Digestive Health Institute (Dr. Norm's site)
- Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth
- Fecal Transplants
- Yeast vs. Fungus

| 0:00.0 | My very first yoga studio that I owned was a hot yoga studio and we had huge problem with odor. |
| 0:05.7 | It was in Thailand, it was hot, it was sweaty and things get moldy and they smell bad. |
| 0:10.8 | The mats smell bad, the walls, the towels, everything |
| 0:13.7 | smells bad. So I tried everything. I tried vinegar. I tried incense. I tried |
| 0:19.2 | natural. I tried toxic stuff. Everything I could think of think of and interestingly the one thing that worked better than anything |
| 0:26.9 | that I've ever found in yoga studios is a time oil time as in time the herb time oil derived cleansing product that's 100 |
| 0:38.1 | percent natural completely biodegradable super safe safe, and smells amazing. |
| 0:44.1 | And it just kills everything. |
| 0:45.7 | And so this got me thinking about essential oils |

| 1:18.1 | and it's wood, so it's a beautiful looking |
| 1:20.9 | little desktop unit, and it'll mist for three to six hours depending on what setting you have it on and so I like to mist right now I have lavender misting I also like to use lemon grass a lot |
| 1:32.4 | Mandarin is another favorite and I also |
| 1:34.8 | really like Rosemary. In our studios will often use lavender or Rosemary. You can |
| 1:40.1 | use whatever oil you like, but if you're looking for a way to freshen up a room that's natural, |
| 1:45.0 | that's safe, that's not using chemical air fresheners or toxic incense that's smoking up a room, |
| 1:51.0 | I think that essential oils is a really great way to go. |
