In this episode, we talk all about what conditions in the gut suppress the immune system the most. Plus, Dr. Mayer reveals which diets hurt the microbes in our guts and which diets help the microbes in our gut.
Dr. Emeran A Mayer is a Gastroenterologist, Neuroscientist, and Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and the Executive Director of the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience at UCLA. As one of the pioneers and leading researchers in the role of brain-gut interactions in health and chronic disease, in particular in IBS, his scientific contributions to basic and translational enteric neurobiology with wide-ranging applications in clinical GI diseases and disorders is unparalleled.
He has published more than 385 scientific papers, co-edited 3 books, published the best-selling The Mind-Gut Connection book in 2016 and the Gut Immune Connection book in June 2021. He is the recipient of the 2016 David McLean award from the American Psychosomatic Society and the 2017 Ismar Boas Medal from the German Society of Gastroenterology and Metabolic Disease. His most recent work has focused on alterations in the bidirectional communications within the brain-gut microbiome system and their role in chronic inflammatory and functional diseases of the gut, obesity, and cognitive decline.
In this podcast, we cover:
- How the standard American diet affects our microbiome
- The ways that we can improve the diversity in our gut
- Can fasting have positive effects on our immune system?
- The causes of leaky gut and what you can do about it
