Summary
Today we’re going to talk about fecal microbiota transplantation and how to support your microbiome naturally.
Fecal microbiota transplantation has been found to be effective for certain conditions, including:
• C. diff
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Autism
• MS
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Parkinson’s disease
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Acne
• Depression
Fecal microbiota transplantation may also help decrease the risk of cancer and has been found to be superior to antibiotics.
Fecal transplant has been around for many years. However, if we had a better relationship with our microbes, we may not even need this therapy. The more we sterilize our environment, the more we’re going to need this therapy.
Things to avoid to support your microbiome:
• Drugs
• Chemicals
• Pesticides
• Herbicides
• Antibiotics
• Milk products
• Canned products
• Juices
• Radiated foods
The best ways to support your gut microbiome:
1. Consume a wide variety of plant foods
2. Consume fermented products
3. Lower your stress
4. Do fasting
5. Exercise
6. Take a colostrum supplement (consider breastfeeding for newborns)
7. Take a probiotic

| 0:00.0 | So today we're going to talk about something called fecal, microbiota transplantation. |
| 0:06.3 | Now, why would anyone give a crap about this topic? |
| 0:09.6 | I'm sorry, I had to do that. |
| 0:11.2 | But this fecal transplantation is becoming mainstream in medicine. |
| 0:15.7 | It's highly effective for the infection called C. diff. |
| 0:19.2 | It can greatly help irritable bowel diseases. It's been found to be |
| 0:23.1 | superior to antibiotics. There's been great results with autism, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, decreasing |
| 0:31.5 | risks of cancer, Parkinson's, chronic fatigue syndrome, acne, and even depression. However, I have some basic |
| 0:39.1 | questions about this therapy. How long does it really last? I mean, if you go back to your |
| 0:44.8 | usual eating habits, do you maintain this microbiome or does it become altered or affected |
| 0:51.7 | by your lifestyle? I mean, what people really should be doing is |
| 0:55.2 | find out what the fecal donor is eating and eat like that person. But this fecal transplant has |
| 1:03.5 | been around for a very, very long time. I'm talking like 2,000 years. The Chinese actually |
| 1:08.7 | used it as a therapy for many different things. But there's some really important points to this topic. The Chinese actually used it as a therapy for many different things. |
| 1:11.5 | But there's some really important points to this topic. The fact that it works so well |
| 1:16.5 | for so many different conditions, I mean, the connection between our microbes in both the |
| 1:21.9 | innate and the acquired immune system, the importance in brain health, the importance of digesting things that we |
| 1:29.8 | can't digest like fiber, the importance of these secondary bile salts made by microbes, |
| 1:37.2 | and the importance of bile in general. Also for our skin and autoimmune diseases, |
| 1:43.4 | nearly every single autoimmune disease starts in your |
| 1:46.4 | gut. And if there was a much better friendly relationship with these microbes, chances are you |
| 1:51.2 | probably wouldn't get an autoimmune problem. I mean, there are certain bacteria that help |
