| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg |
| 0:08.0 | takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:21.4 | You know, when I was in practice for 30 years, I would say nearly 100% of every single person |
| 0:28.6 | who could not sleep, especially the ones that had chronic sleeping issues, always had gut issues. |
| 0:35.9 | Either they had irritable bowel syndrome or a ciliac or crones or diverticulitis or heartburn |
| 0:44.2 | or bloating or indigestion, something was going on in the stomach. And this is probably why when |
| 0:49.9 | people take pro-bugs before bed, they sleep better. So today I'm going to talk about the link |
| 0:56.1 | between your digestion and your sleeping and give you some tips on how to improve your sleeping. I've |
| 1:02.2 | done a lot of videos on sleeping, especially related to light and how that affects the circadian |
| 1:09.2 | rhythms, how it can either stimulate or inhibit sleep, depending on how much fluorescent light or |
| 1:14.8 | LED light that you're exposed to. So if you haven't seen that video, that would be also very important. I'll |
| 1:20.0 | put that link down below. But you have this clock in your brain. The super chiasmic nuclei or you |
| 1:27.0 | might want to pronounce it super chiasmic. I'm not even sure how you pronounce it exactly. But there's |
| 1:32.0 | a clock in your brain that regulates your sleep patterns. And that clock uses as its main hormone, |
| 1:39.7 | something called melatonin. And so the question is, how do you get enough melatonin to make this clock |
| 1:45.6 | work correctly? Should you just take it as a supplement? And I don't recommend that because anytime |
| 1:50.3 | you take a hormone, you really are treating the symptom, you're not getting rid of the cause. And I |
| 1:54.9 | want to know what's really underneath the deficiency of melatonin. Also, when you take hormones, |
| 2:00.4 | you inactivate the gland that makes them. So there's several ways that melatonin is created. Melatonin |
| 2:08.7 | comes from another hormone called serotonin. And 90% of all the serotonin in your body is made |
| 2:17.2 | with help from your friendly bacteria. So these microbes help you in so many different ways. They |
| 2:24.6 | actually take triptophan, which is amino acid, and they convert that to serotonin. And this is |
