| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about the relationship between your gut bacteria and viruses. |
| 0:19.5 | Now in your gut, you have something called the microbiome, okay, I don't know if you |
| 0:27.1 | knew this, but that's a combination of not just friendly bacteria, but you also have yeast |
| 0:34.3 | in there, you have parasites, you have even candida, and viruses, yeah, I know. There's |
| 0:45.5 | something called VLP, viral-like particles, and you have a lot of these in and around your |
| 0:51.6 | body. Now the VLPs are not infected. They don't have any genetics inside the cell, |
| 0:56.8 | but they're viral-like particles that exist throughout the body. There's not a lot of things |
| 1:01.5 | known about them, but they're doing research on them. Now I don't want to alarm you or freak you |
| 1:06.6 | out, but there's something called the human gut viral, which are clusters of viruses that live |
| 1:14.5 | in your body, and there's a lot of them. I mean, think about how many bacteria you have. You have |
| 1:19.9 | trillions. Well, these viruses outnumber your bacteria by 10 to 1 and sometimes 20 to 1. |
| 1:29.5 | Now these viruses coexist, and many times they don't create any problem, unless you have some |
| 1:35.1 | Lord resistance or some medical problem where you become susceptible, and then they start to create |
| 1:41.0 | problems. But you do have a lot of viruses living in your body already, and this is why it is so |
| 1:48.0 | important to keep your immune system very, very strong, something they don't talk about on the |
| 1:54.0 | news. And you do have sitting in the background, this army of immune cells, not just white blood cells, |
| 2:02.1 | but the microbiome, the good bacteria, are part of your immune system. And I want to talk about |
| 2:08.6 | some of the things that they do related to keeping your immune system strong. If you're lacking good |
| 2:14.0 | bacteria, maybe you took antibiotics or something, the bad bacteria can then thrive. And also, if |
| 2:20.4 | you're eating foods that stimulate inflammation, the inflammation alone will create a shift from |
| 2:27.2 | good bacteria to bad bacteria, and you lose the diversity of friendly bacteria. But this good |
| 2:34.7 | bacteria called the microbiome helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier. So picture |
