Summary

Dr. Tom Guilliams joins us to elaborate on his paper that was just published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine about “Dysbiosis or Adaptation: How Stable Is the Gut Microbiome?” In the interview, we discuss how the changes we see on a stool test may not be the cause of problems, but may instead be a symptom of a deeper underlying dysfunction. We agreed that what makes you feel best is likely the best approach for your gut, especially when it comes to bowel motility. Because the gut changes rapidly in response to diet and lifestyle influences, we also discuss how to best nurture an adaptable gut microbiome. https://drruscio.com/?p=56683

0:55.6	How stable is the gut microbiome?
0:57.7	And just a few highlights from the discussion that I want to provide you with here,
1:02.5	probably the most important to bottom line it for you,
1:06.0	the results that you see on a microbiota mapping test are not really clinically actionable, as I've been
1:14.2	harping on now for years. And more specifically, the effect of stool frequency and stool
1:23.3	consistency may, those may be the primary drivers of what you see on a microbiota test. Or said another
1:32.9	way, if we can improve someone's stool consistency and frequency, we can improve the results
1:40.9	of their microbiota test. Now, if you follow that through one step further, you arrive at the conclusion of,
1:47.1	so what you're saying is to get better test results, I need to fix my poop.
