00:00:00
Dr Scot sure when it comes down to gut
00:00:03
health people don't seem to realize that
00:00:06
the small intestine our gut actually
00:00:09
needs fuel itself like those cells need
00:00:12
they need they need fuel it's not
00:00:13
necessarily coming from just
00:00:15
carbohydrates or food that we're eating
00:00:17
they they operate differently yep how
00:00:19
does that work how does first off like
00:00:21
how can a lack of proper fuel in the gut
00:00:25
affect gut permeability gut health
00:00:27
ultimately uh the mood like how how does
00:00:30
work yeah so our large intestine is
00:00:34
fueled by butyrate okay so your main
00:00:36
source of fuel for your large intestine
00:00:38
is actually berate so berate is made in
00:00:40
a lot of different ways but berate is
00:00:41
the main fuel okay in the small
00:00:44
intestine the main fuel is actually
00:00:45
glutamine and what people don't realize
00:00:48
is that the the fuel which what that
00:00:50
means is that the the cells in your gut
00:00:52
in your small intestine require
00:00:54
glutamine to work to make energy to
00:00:57
function and those cells are just one
00:01:00
layer thick so your cellular wall your
00:01:03
cell wall of your gut is not very thick
00:01:05
people think it's like this massive you
00:01:07
know when you look at like a big tube or
00:01:09
something like that no it's one cell
00:01:10
thick and there's all these other things
00:01:12
that are inside the small intestine that
00:01:13
are like your immune cells and other
00:01:16
types of cells that are there to help
00:01:17
protect you the way to think about the
00:01:19
gut is it's basically outside of your
00:01:21
body okay our first immune system that
00:01:24
was developed was inside of our gut the
00:01:27
first neurons and connections and like
00:01:31
synapses and things like that like were
00:01:33
made in your gut because they had to
00:01:34
understand what was happening from the
00:01:35
outside world okay so our gut is kind of
00:01:37
where everything starts and Begins for
00:01:40
most people and if your gut is not
00:01:42
working well the whole system starts
00:01:45
crashing because the gut is protecting
00:01:47
you from the outside world and if you're
00:01:48
allowing things to come into the from
00:01:50
the outside world because you have a
00:01:52
leaky gut because you're not getting
00:01:53
enough maybe fuel for those cells or
00:01:56
there's inflammation or there's
00:01:57
infection or whatever it might be that
00:01:59
all kind of go together um you'll find
00:02:01
that the system starts getting
00:02:03
disregulated because all those things
00:02:05
that were supposed to be kept out of
00:02:06
your body start coming in when the gut
00:02:08
gets leaky interesting so what are some
00:02:11
ways like just getting right down to
00:02:12
Brass tax that you can kind of help
00:02:14
support that because it's not just about
00:02:16
the food that you're eating I also put a
00:02:18
link down below for a company that makes
00:02:20
a C15 for people that don't eat a lot of
00:02:22
cheese or people that want to get those
00:02:24
c-15 levels up a lot of their research
00:02:26
was funded by the United States Navy
00:02:28
they have some really interesting stuff
00:02:30
it's a company called fatty 15 I've
00:02:32
talked to Dr ven Watson multiple times
00:02:35
and I've even interviewed her on this
00:02:36
channel she is who really is one of the
00:02:38
people that kind of started discovering
00:02:40
this deficiency in Dolphins but this is
00:02:42
something that's been talked about
00:02:44
across the literature for a long time
00:02:47
but only recently has become sort of
00:02:49
household information I put a link down
00:02:52
below for you to try fatty 15 if it's
00:02:54
something that's of interest to you I
00:02:55
think it's a very important compound it
00:02:58
is a form of Satur fat so it's not like
00:03:01
we're talking anything really weird here
00:03:03
it's a saturated fat that we would get
00:03:04
from good quality cheeses but the amount
00:03:07
of cheese you'd have to eat to get our
00:03:08
levels back up and again this is a real
00:03:09
deficiency would be a lot of cheese so
00:03:11
that link is down below it's a 15% off
00:03:14
discount link Top Line of the
00:03:15
description underneath this video I
00:03:17
highly encourage you to at least go
00:03:19
there and read some of the literature
00:03:20
it's fascinating well a lot of this has
00:03:22
to do with there's so many different
00:03:23
components to this right so if you have
00:03:26
a gut that's leaky it's there's so many
00:03:28
different reasons that why might why
00:03:30
that why that might be the case right so
00:03:32
if your gut is not doing a good job
00:03:33
keeping things out um and and
00:03:35
maintaining things in the gut and then
00:03:36
letting them go if they're not supposed
00:03:37
to be there it's probably because um
00:03:40
there are a number of factors all kind
00:03:42
of related to the final issue which is
00:03:45
inflammation in the gut and when what
00:03:47
happens if you have a lot of
00:03:48
inflammation is that those cells that
00:03:50
are aligning the gut are not getting the
00:03:52
fuel that they need um and then they
00:03:54
start opening up and they start to let
00:03:57
things in and as a result of that you're
00:03:59
starting get leaky gut and you get all
00:04:01
these inflammatory things that happen as
00:04:02
a result of that so and the key fuel
00:04:04
there for our gut cells is glutamine as
00:04:07
well and that's you a very important
00:04:08
amino acid as you know so so okay
00:04:10
because I know glutamine from sort of
00:04:12
the bodybuilding world where it doesn't
00:04:14
really do diddly squat right from a
00:04:15
muscle building perspective it's not
00:04:17
essential it's not you know it's uh it's
00:04:19
created so like why do we really need it
00:04:21
to build muscle and I think that's been
00:04:24
demonstrated to largely not do anything
00:04:26
but there's this other side of glutamine
00:04:29
that people don't always realize and I
00:04:30
know there's the endurance side there's
00:04:31
also just flat out just other sides in
00:04:34
general like from the endurance
00:04:35
perspective it's like I don't know if
00:04:37
people realize and this isn't just for
00:04:39
endurance athic like it's all relative
00:04:41
right like if someone is not accustomed
00:04:44
to doing more cardio and all a sudden
00:04:45
they do more cardio or they start an
00:04:48
exercise regime and they start kind of
00:04:50
depleting these glutamine levels this
00:04:52
has an impact on their gut health which
00:04:54
then has an impact on subsequent other
00:04:55
things yes so many athletes that I've
00:04:57
worked with over the years have their
00:04:59
guts are trash and that's because
00:05:01
they're depleting all of their amino
00:05:03
acids but the one that's most important
00:05:05
is going to be the glutamine for their
00:05:06
gut and so they get leaky gut as a
00:05:07
result of just being over exercised and
00:05:10
then they're getting diarrheal symptoms
00:05:12
they're getting abdominal symptoms so I
00:05:13
worked with a guy recently at the
00:05:14
Leadville race which is like the
00:05:16
ultramarathon in Colorado where I live
00:05:18
and he was complaining to me like every
00:05:20
year that he tried it two years before
00:05:21
at least one year maybe two years where
00:05:23
you get severe diarrheal symptoms and
00:05:25
like this is a big problem with people
00:05:26
doing a lot of these bigger races and
00:05:28
they get a lot of GI distu
00:05:30
why is this then there's lots of
00:05:31
different reasons but one of the reasons
00:05:32
is that they're depleting all of their
00:05:34
amino acids because they're doing these
00:05:35
huge races and the main one that's
00:05:37
keeping their gut intact is glutamine so
00:05:40
if you're and so what we did with him
00:05:41
with him this year was we had him take
00:05:43
about four to five grams of glutamine
00:05:45
every four hours and he ran the race in
00:05:48
three hours less than he did the year
00:05:49
before and no GI symptoms at all so it's
00:05:53
underutilized and underappreciated the
00:05:56
importance of glutamine maybe not from a
00:05:57
muscle building perspective but from a
00:05:59
gut Integrity perspective while you're
00:06:01
trying to build muscle and get stronger
00:06:03
and do these ultramarathons and things
00:06:04
like that and I think it makes sense
00:06:06
like from a you know any kind of
00:06:08
evolutionary perspective like people
00:06:10
might say like well why I don't want to
00:06:11
you know I want to do it all with food I
00:06:12
want to do it it's pretty unnatural to
00:06:14
go out and run a 100 miles right so me
00:06:17
the first guy that that did the 26 miles
00:06:19
the marathon died right so yeah so I
00:06:21
mean yes maybe we've adapted and we're
00:06:23
we're better at doing some of these you
00:06:24
know extreme things what I'm curious is
00:06:26
how how quickly does gut damage occur
00:06:30
like I mean if so if someone let's say
00:06:32
you know I go out and I run 20 mil you
00:06:34
know let's make it like more relatable
00:06:36
let's say like someone that's doing a
00:06:39
couch to 5K goes out and they R they run
00:06:40
a 5k right they run they're all going to
00:06:42
need more glutamine man yeah especially
00:06:44
I mean and you do you need it as well
00:06:45
when you're doing those 20 MERS and
00:06:46
things like that we see this even the
00:06:48
biggest place we see it actually is in
00:06:50
people that get surgery people that just
00:06:51
get laid up in the hospital um they need
00:06:54
a lot more glutamine overall to support
00:06:56
their gut and in general they don't get
00:06:58
enough and so we actually we've looked
00:06:59
at various there's good studies that
00:07:01
show that if you increase and supplement
00:07:02
with glutamine they don't lose as much
00:07:03
muscle mass and their gut doesn't get as
00:07:05
leaky either and they don't get such
00:07:06
inflammation issues as a result of that
00:07:08
so even just a couple days in the
00:07:10
hospital can be detrimental to your gut
00:07:13
Integrity because you are inflamed and
00:07:16
then you're sitting in bed and you're
00:07:17
like all you're you know you're losing
00:07:19
lean body mass by just sitting there too
00:07:21
so opposite extremes apply here so if
00:07:24
you're doing a lot of energy metabolism
00:07:26
a lot of work you're going to require a
00:07:27
lot more glutamine as well not for your
00:07:29
muscle tissue as much but for your gut
00:07:31
and that's what people don't think about
00:07:32
as much so often times we have people
00:07:33
sipping glutamine
00:07:36
postoperatively this is not in the in
00:07:37
the conventional world but in the the
00:07:38
more alternative side like up to 20
00:07:40
grams a day in some in some people
00:07:41
depending on the situation so so with uh
00:07:44
so it can happen pretty quick so it's
00:07:45
just like like if someone goes out and
00:07:47
never run a 5k before they run it then
00:07:48
it's I mean it's basically depleting
00:07:50
actively yes um what
00:07:53
happens the term leaky gut intestinal
00:07:56
permeability is like thrown around so
00:07:58
much uh and over I shouldn't say
00:08:01
overhyped because I I don't think it's
00:08:03
overhyped I think it's very important
00:08:04
but it's over marketed right so it's
00:08:06
like it's talked about in in the wrong
00:08:08
circles the wrong people where they they
00:08:10
burnt out that that term yeah but it's a
00:08:13
very real thing and I think you know you
00:08:15
and I talked like when I had my Like A
00:08:16
Parasite last year and like it was
00:08:18
really messed me up like there was you
00:08:20
know immune system things that happen
00:08:22
Downstream of that there's all kinds of
00:08:23
stuff that happen Downstream that yeah
00:08:25
um what happens when your gut is
00:08:28
permeable so when your gut's not doing
00:08:31
what it's supposed to do it's allowing
00:08:32
that outside world to come in and that's
00:08:34
usually going to cause significant
00:08:35
amounts of immune system activation
00:08:37
overall and that's usually not going to
00:08:40
be a good idea also because it's also
00:08:41
going to cause your brain to get leaky
00:08:43
as well so once there's a lot of immune
00:08:44
activation there's a lot of inflammation
00:08:46
because all these little particles and
00:08:47
things like that that shouldn't have
00:08:48
come in from the gut are now in the
00:08:50
system maybe it's too big of a protein
00:08:52
maybe it's too big of a carbohydrate
00:08:53
maybe it's a parasite or maybe it's
00:08:55
something else that came in because you
00:08:57
had more of a leaky kind of gut then the
00:08:59
whole system gets more inflamed and then
00:09:01
as an inflammatory responses occur you
00:09:03
have inflammation other or areas of the
00:09:06
body including your brain which is what
00:09:07
I've seen the most actually over the
00:09:09
years is that once your gut gets leaky
00:09:12
um your brain gets leaky and then your
00:09:13
brain allows things to get across that
00:09:15
weren't supposed to get there so this is
00:09:17
when people get you know reactivations
00:09:19
of things like Epstein bar or lime or
00:09:21
mold that were never an issue and then
00:09:23
all of a sudden it could happen where
00:09:25
you have a massive inflammatory response
00:09:27
that causes the leaky gut itself or you
00:09:28
can have issues within the gut itself
00:09:30
that cause inflammation that maybe the
00:09:32
food maybe toxins maybe medications
00:09:34
environmental stuff that cause the gut
00:09:36
to be leaky on its own that cause an
00:09:37
inflammatory response in the rest of the
00:09:38
system so it can go either way if that
00:09:40
makes sense so U mechanistically if like
00:09:43
exercise endurance were kind of depletes
00:09:45
the glutamine yes how does how does
00:09:48
stress is it working along the same
00:09:49
pathway I mean is there is there a
00:09:51
physical change that occurs like through
00:09:53
exercise that causes this depletion but
00:09:55
compare that to someone that's like like
00:09:57
chronically stressed and that's kind of
00:09:59
contributing to a right so the chronic
00:10:01
stress is a little bit different right
00:10:02
but but it's it's similar in this in
00:10:03
some ways because if you're chronically
00:10:05
stressed you're activating your
00:10:07
sympathetic nervous system your
00:10:08
sympathetic nervous system is like your
00:10:10
fight ORF flight it's like running from
00:10:11
a lion kind of nervous system if that's
00:10:13
not the place that we digest very well
00:10:14
as you know most of people actually what
00:10:17
what happens when an animal is in danger
00:10:20
it shits itself and it runs right so
00:10:22
that it's like this massive response of
00:10:24
like just clamping down and then going
00:10:26
so you don't digest very well if you're
00:10:28
in simp sympathetic overload so if
00:10:30
you're massively stressed all the time
00:10:32
you're not going to be able to have the
00:10:33
rest and digest and so you're not going
00:10:35
to able to get enough blood flow to your
00:10:37
intestines to actually get enough
00:10:39
digestion to happen so that's when
00:10:41
people get bloating they don't get
00:10:43
digestion well they get bacterial
00:10:44
overgrowth all those kinds of things
00:10:46
because they're always in sympathetic
00:10:48
response it's a different response than
00:10:50
the stress of exercise which is just an
00:10:52
acute stress that's depleting things
00:10:54
like glutamine and as a result of that
00:10:56
you're getting the leak a higher
00:10:58
incidence of things like a leaky gut um
00:11:00
but the chronic stress that's happening
00:11:02
and the sympathetic dominance that
00:11:04
you're getting you can't digest your
00:11:05
food that way interesting and there's a
00:11:07
I mean is that one of the reasons why
00:11:09
people maybe don't sleep so well like I
00:11:12
mean is I know there's an interplay
00:11:13
between glutamine glutamate and Gaba
00:11:16
right because they kind of work sort of
00:11:17
Sy or I guess in opposition SL
00:11:20
synergistically with each other so yeah
00:11:21
we have glutamine which is your amino
00:11:23
acid then you have glutamate which is
00:11:24
also amino acids but glutamine can be
00:11:26
converted into glutamate glutamate is
00:11:28
also our primary excitatory
00:11:30
neurotransmitter in the brain so
00:11:31
glutamate gets across the blood brain
00:11:33
barrier very easily and it that's about
00:11:36
keeping you on it's your energy it's
00:11:38
your your focus um this is of course dop
00:11:40
me and norrine are involved but
00:11:42
glutamate is actually the primary that
00:11:43
people don't know about but then
00:11:44
glutamate gets converted into Gaba in
00:11:47
the brain and then glutamate requires
00:11:49
vitamin B6 and magnesium to do that so
00:11:52
you have to have those co-actors to be
00:11:53
able to convert your glutamate to your
00:11:55
Gaba in the brain and Gaba is of course
00:11:56
really important for relaxing and
00:11:58
calming down and helping you sleep if
00:12:00
you have too much glutamate compared to
00:12:02
glut compared to Gaba you're going to
00:12:04
feel more energy you're not going to be
00:12:05
able to sleep you're going to be
00:12:06
irritable insomnia all those kinds of
00:12:08
things so it's really important that
00:12:10
your gut's working so that your gut is
00:12:12
getting you glutamine and it's and it's
00:12:14
doing what it needs to do so you don't
00:12:15
get leaky gut and inflammation this
00:12:16
inflammation is going to screw up your
00:12:17
neurotransmitters as well in various
00:12:19
ways including Gaba and then but it's
00:12:21
also important you're getting enough
00:12:22
glutamine for the rest of the body as
00:12:23
well not just your gut so if you have a
00:12:25
leaky gut you need more glutamine not
00:12:27
only for your for your small intestine
00:12:29
but for the rest of your body especially
00:12:31
for your conversion over to Gaba so you
00:12:33
can actually sleep and so if you're
00:12:35
depleted in your gut you need more
00:12:36
glutamine and if you have a leaky gut
00:12:38
you need more glutamine and then if you
00:12:40
have if you need that much more you're
00:12:41
also going to need more so you can get
00:12:42
into the system so you can actually
00:12:44
convert it over to Gaba as well and this
00:12:46
is the irbil that you have with a lot of
00:12:48
people that have a leaky gut or that are
00:12:50
depleted overall in Gaba is that they
00:12:52
just don't have enough to maintain and
00:12:54
and help with them with their mood along
00:12:56
with their sleep interesting yeah cuz
00:12:57
you I mean on the surface you would
00:12:58
think okay glutamine would be the
00:13:00
opposite of what you would need if it's
00:13:01
going to feed glutamate that's going to
00:13:03
make you moreable so it's actually you
00:13:05
need more glutamate to make enough Gaba
00:13:06
right so it's a thing where you need
00:13:08
enough of the precursor it's a balance
00:13:09
between those two things right so if you
00:13:11
don't have that balance you're going to
00:13:12
have an overabundance of glutamate
00:13:13
you're going to be screwed because
00:13:14
you're not going to be able to sleep
00:13:15
you're going to have tremors so you have
00:13:17
to not only make sure that you're
00:13:18
getting enough glutamine but also the
00:13:20
co-actors that are responsible for the
00:13:22
conversion which is your vitamin B6 and
00:13:24
your magnesium so that's also very
00:13:26
important for people of course and then
00:13:28
you know most of
00:13:29
the foods that we eat now are depleted
00:13:31
in a lot of those kinds of minerals
00:13:32
especially magnesium many of us are
00:13:34
magnesium deficient as you know as well
00:13:36
and so I often have my patients taking
00:13:37
magnesium at night uh along with maybe
00:13:40
vitamin B6 but usually I'm doing I'm
00:13:41
checking levels for that kind of thing
00:13:43
because you can take too much B6 as well
00:13:44
which is not always a good thing so yeah
00:13:46
so if you're trying to uh sort of if you
00:13:50
have too much glutamate and actually
00:13:53
let's back up for a second I think
00:13:54
people can understand a little bit more
00:13:56
like what glutamate is when they think
00:13:57
of like MSG that's a great great example
00:14:00
and I don't want to put MSG on the spot
00:14:02
cuz I know that people get sensitive
00:14:03
about their MSG but I can honestly say
00:14:05
in my personal experience like I don't
00:14:07
sleep when I have MSG I am very wired
00:14:10
and I know I'm not alone in that and I
00:14:11
know that it's difficult to talk people
00:14:13
do get very sensitive when you talk
00:14:14
about their MSG and I'm not bashing MSG
00:14:16
but it's just I didn't think it was that
00:14:18
controversial I think I thought
00:14:19
everybody had one guy one time put me on
00:14:21
he was a very well-known very well-known
00:14:24
uh food star uh from that uh what is
00:14:28
that uh ugly delicious that show he I
00:14:31
mean massive following on Twitter I did
00:14:33
a video that was talking about it wasn't
00:14:34
even negative about MSG it was really
00:14:36
just talking about uh a couple of the
00:14:38
studies there's one particular study
00:14:40
that was was literally called Chinese
00:14:41
food syndrome like because and talked
00:14:44
about the effects of MSG on on the brain
00:14:46
and he just like I mean the things he
00:14:48
called me I mean I don't even want to
00:14:50
say them on YouTube right it was just
00:14:51
like because just shock value because
00:14:53
there was a a perceived attack on a
00:14:55
particular like the Umami flavor right
00:14:57
yeah I understand yeah that wasn't but
00:15:00
the bottom line is that if you look at
00:15:02
how MSG works in the body like it's it's
00:15:04
I'm not even saying it's good bad or
00:15:05
ugly it's just what it is right yeah and
00:15:07
your your experience is very very common
00:15:09
because if you flood the system with MSG
00:15:12
or glutamate sources it doesn't have to
00:15:13
be MSG like a good one that's very high
00:15:16
brow is caviar caviar has lots of MSG so
00:15:18
if you have any High glutamate
00:15:20
containing foods like some of the harder
00:15:21
cheeses as well headaches are common and
00:15:23
headach is a very common sign that
00:15:25
you're overabundant in that glutamate
00:15:27
you know versus your glutamine so versus
00:15:29
your Gaba excuse me so you have your
00:15:30
glutamate that's high and it's having a
00:15:32
hard time converting itself over to Gaba
00:15:35
and as a result of that you get those
00:15:36
symptoms that you were describing right
00:15:38
so it's it's always a fine balance our
00:15:40
body is always in this balance right and
00:15:41
and it's trying to rebalance itself when
00:15:43
we have these stresses and that can be
00:15:45
good and but sometimes it requires you
00:15:47
to be thinking about well maybe I can't
00:15:48
get all of this from food I really have
00:15:50
to think about how I can support my
00:15:51
glutamine system with higher levels of
00:15:53
glutamine if I have more symptomatic
00:15:55
leaky gut you small intestinal bacterial
00:15:57
overgrowth those kinds of things and
00:15:59
then also maybe have to support your
00:16:00
Gaba system too not only by working on
00:16:02
the glutamine sources but how are you
00:16:04
increasing the Gaba as well in various
00:16:06
ways and you can do that you know
00:16:07
primarily by improving how the Gaba
00:16:10
receptor is working and supporting it
00:16:12
you know while you're working on the
00:16:13
dietary changes and working on the leaky
00:16:14
gut but you know often times you want to
00:16:16
help people right now because they're
00:16:18
having symptoms and so you can often
00:16:19
support the Gaba system by giving things
00:16:21
that support Gaba at the same time as
00:16:23
working on their leaky gut and working
00:16:24
on their glutamine and their conversion
00:16:26
from glutamate into Gaba as well so with
00:16:28
your vitamin B6 and magnesium yeah and I
00:16:30
know uh you know separately I'll put a
00:16:32
link down below to you know you guys'
00:16:34
project and transcriptions and what you
00:16:36
guys do with that cuz there's some
00:16:36
interesting stuff that I've talked about
00:16:38
on this channel before like trro calm
00:16:40
and ways to improve kind of increase
00:16:42
gabble levels which is really
00:16:43
interesting something that I've been a
00:16:44
big fan of for a long time yeah we're a
00:16:45
big fan of looking at the Gaba receptor
00:16:47
in a very novel way not just what's
00:16:50
going to be binding the receptor in some
00:16:53
alisic way which is like around the
00:16:55
receptor but what are you actually doing
00:16:56
to make sure that Gaba doesn't get
00:16:58
efficient or depleted and most of my
00:17:00
patients are Gaba deficient but no
00:17:02
doctor ever ask them about it and
00:17:04
because nobody thinks that if somebody's
00:17:06
depressed or anxious or can't sleep that
00:17:07
it could be a Gaba deficiency but it
00:17:09
could and so if you can support the Gaba
00:17:10
system in this holistic way right
00:17:12
looking at supporting the Gaba receptor
00:17:15
by enhancing not only just what's
00:17:17
binding to it on these other sites but
00:17:18
also Gaba itself along with you know
00:17:21
magnesium and B6 and that conversion
00:17:23
over the glutamate to Gaba like that's a
00:17:25
bit of a longer process for people but
00:17:27
if you do them together like you can get
00:17:28
people sleeping and feeling better like
00:17:30
their mood regulated their uh their
00:17:32
overall just feeling of just comfort in
00:17:36
themselves just go up so much because if
00:17:38
you're over if you're overabundant in
00:17:40
glutamate especially like you're just
00:17:42
jittery you're edgy all the time like
00:17:43
you're not a fun person to be around
00:17:45
right so like that's not what we want to
00:17:47
be and you show up for our our spouses
00:17:48
and our kids and and things and just
00:17:51
supporting that Gaba system can go so
00:17:53
far in helping them and so yeah troom is
00:17:55
is a big one for that but in general my
00:17:58
perspectives as you know Tom is like is
00:17:59
that I really want to support the system
00:18:01
as much as possible so like looking and
00:18:03
testing vitamins and minerals and
00:18:04
nutrients looking at their like their
00:18:06
copper and their their zinc level is
00:18:08
really important as well to make sure
00:18:09
the receptor is working magnesium B6 is
00:18:12
as well really really important as well
00:18:13
as the glutamine levels so yeah it's I
00:18:15
mean even if it's one of those things
00:18:16
that's just a a pattern interrupt for
00:18:18
someone to be able to get off that ledge
00:18:20
and be able to do the inner work that
00:18:21
they need to do you know it's like
00:18:22
that's kind of what it is for me it's
00:18:24
like I don't like to rely on things but
00:18:27
I do also know that there's
00:18:29
part of that internal sort of wisdom
00:18:32
that you have to listen to sometimes is
00:18:33
that hey yes there is a time and a place
00:18:35
where I need to intervene or need an
00:18:37
intervention and that's where you can
00:18:39
have something else step in whether it's
00:18:41
glutamine whether it's transcriptions
00:18:42
whether it's you know whatever the
00:18:44
intervention is to get you to that place
00:18:46
where you're in the head space where you
00:18:47
can do the work to get yourself right
00:18:49
because I think people don't realize how
00:18:51
important the mental and emotional side
00:18:54
of this is with the gut too 100% And
00:18:57
that's always my perspective too and in
00:18:58
fact we have a nonprofit organization
00:19:00
it's called Health optimization medicine
00:19:02
and practice it was formed in 2017 Dr
00:19:05
Ted aoso is the founder he's also the
00:19:07
founder of transcriptions and the key
00:19:09
was optimizing Health instead of
00:19:11
treating disease okay most people out
00:19:14
there are looking at treating disease
00:19:15
looking at the root cause of illness and
00:19:16
that's okay but if you're not focused on
00:19:18
how to keep people healthy how to keep
00:19:19
those cells healthy that's the
00:19:21
foundation that's the ground of it all
00:19:23
but while you're doing that while you're
00:19:24
looking at optimizing vitamins minerals
00:19:26
nutrients circadian rhythms exposure es
00:19:29
relationships you name all these things
00:19:31
these are really important it could take
00:19:32
a long time to feel better it can take
00:19:34
if you've the common scenario is that
00:19:36
somebody wants to feel better tomorrow
00:19:38
but it took them 40 years to feel the
00:19:39
way they do right so they can't expect
00:19:41
that tomorrow they're going to feel
00:19:42
better but that's why transcriptions was
00:19:43
developed as a way to help people you
00:19:45
know right now while they're on that
00:19:47
longer path to optimizing their health
00:19:49
which takes a while like I want to
00:19:50
optimize my B6 and magnesium levels in
00:19:53
my patients I want to optimize their gut
00:19:54
but I've had it take years to optimize
00:19:57
people's guts in some cases if you deal
00:19:58
with parasites and you have to deal with
00:20:00
bacterial overgrowth and then you have
00:20:01
to do various kinds of things and then
00:20:03
you have to have of course compliance as
00:20:05
well and people are doing the things but
00:20:06
it can take a lot of time so what are
00:20:08
you going to do in the in in the in the
00:20:09
inter term like you said like the
00:20:11
glutamine or maybe a transcriptions
00:20:12
product could help you or lots of
00:20:14
different things can help overall maybe
00:20:15
going on a Meditation Retreat like just
00:20:17
becoming more parasympathetic just
00:20:18
relaxing a little bit can really really
00:20:20
help as well and you just like we say
00:20:22
you know calming down is usually the
00:20:23
answer to most problems so yeah agreed
00:20:25
man well I'll link out to everything
00:20:26
down below and then otherwise where can
00:20:28
people find
00:20:29
so transcriptions is a good place so
00:20:30
transcription. comom is where we have
00:20:31
some of our products um I'm personally
00:20:33
on Instagram at Dr Scott Shar D RS ttsh
00:20:36
h e RR that's probably where I do most
00:20:38
of my work overall so perfect thanks man
00:20:40
all right thank you
