Summary

The microbiome undergoes a radical transformation during massive weight loss. The result has a profound impact on your health.

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, gastroenterologist and New York Times bestselling author, explains the changes during this episode of The Exam Room Podcast.

Dr. B talks about what likely happened to the microbiome of "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll when he lost 280 pounds. Chuck’s old diet was an astonishing 10,000 calories from fast food per day.

The chronic stomach issues that had plagued Chuck for years are no longer an issue and it has to do with more than just the fact that he's no longer 420 pounds.

But the healthy changes can be experienced by anyone who loses even a little bit of weight.

On This Episode:

- Stomach composition after weight loss

- Best foods for weight loss

- Healing foods for the gut

- Gut sensitivities

- Fad diets and the microbiome

- Cheat meals and the microbiome

- Live viewer questions

Chuck also details a meta-analysis showing that replacing animal protein with plant protein can reduce the risk of diabetes by 20%.

0:00.0	Today on the exam room. I tend to be of the belief based upon everything that I've seen with the
0:08.2	microbiome that this is an incredibly forgiving part of our body.
0:12.7	That we have the opportunity to make choices,
0:15.1	that there is an opportunity and we can be hopeful about it
0:18.3	for us to get our health back
0:20.8	by making choices that empower our microbiome. And I'm not of the belief that your
0:25.9	microbiome will hold it against you. I mean I will say it's varying levels of
0:31.3	challenge and difficulty for each of us.
0:33.2	It's not the same level of difficulty for all of us.
0:36.4	So there are some people who have deeper, more challenging scenarios.
0:40.0	And I feel like the situation that you were in Chuck is an example of that.
0:44.9	And I would also argue that a person who has an inflammatory bowel disease,
0:48.9	like their microbiome is not going to heal and get back to a healthy place in a matter of weeks.
0:55.0	It's just not.
0:56.0	There's no way.
0:57.0	But the opportunity is there, and I don't see that it ever ends.
1:00.0	I don't see that there's such a thing as,
1:02.0	oh, you can't get back to a better place.
1:04.4	Welcome to the exam room podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee.
1:14.7	Hi, I'm the Weight Loss Champion Chuck Carroll, raising health IQs,
1:18.5	coast to coast and around the world.
1:20.9	Hi to the exam room he's listening in Fremont, California, Springfield, Illinois, and Dublin, Ireland.
