These short chain fatty acids are produced.

They keep the pH of your gut low.

Now, if the pH increases within your gut, then it tends to have detrimental effects for your own gut health.

So all the nasty papogenic bacteria like what it cause you disease, they like a more neutral pH.

So you create in a more stable environment for these gut microbes to then grow and propagate with my gut and then we can interact

of the gut tissue with the, and in the transition. the podcast that brings you evidence-based nutrition information direct from world-renowned researchers,

medical professionals, and in the trenches, coaches. I am your host, Danny Lennon, and you are

listening to episode 96. And in just a minute, we're going to be joined by Andrew Chappelle,

where we'll be getting deep into how diet influences the gut microbiome.

And Andrew is a researcher at the Rowan Institute of Nutrition and Health at the University of

Aberdeen, where he received his PhD in the area of nutritional sciences, and his area of research

is the influence of diet on the gut microbiota specifically. And outside of

academia, Andrew is also an accomplished natural bodybuilder as well. In this episode, we get into a lot

of scientific terms and concepts. So what I've done is I've put together a supplementary glossary

sheet, which explains all these

terms for you if you may not be 100% familiar with all of them. So we might be talking about

things like bifidobacteria or TLR receptors or fructoologosaccharides. And so a breakdown of all those

different terms will be there that you can use in conjunction

with the episode that you're going to listen to. And hopefully that will help increase your

understanding and knowledge and what you get from this a bit more. So you can get that glossary

sheet for 100% free at the show notes page, which will be at sigmautrition.com slash episode 96, and so hopefully that

will help your understanding and learning from this episode. As always, the show notes will have
