How To Reduce Inflammation, HEAL YOUR GUT & Prevent Disease | Dr. Mark Hyman

Gut health literally affects your entire body. Your gut houses 500 species and three pounds of bacteria. Too many bad gut flora (including parasites and yeast) or not enough good ones can spell serious trouble for your health. This is why if you want to fix your health, start with your gut.

In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about the gut-immune and gut-brain connection, what imbalances our gut health, and my top strategies for reducing inflammation and healing the gut.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and HigherDOSE.

We need specifics.
1: Which foods
2: how to remove the bad bugs
3: which probiotics to take
-simply telling people what they already know isn't going to help we need our hands held so to speak.

And right you are, Sir. Here is my leaky gut experience: Lectins in grains plus a specific genetic disposition caused the lining of my gut to become permeable - thus the stuff got into my system, binding to joint tissue which makes the immune cells react heavily and causing arthritis for 15 years. I made several attempts to quit grains - but I didn't do it for more than 3 or 4 months, with no effect, and I almost missed my path to recovery. But I got lucky: massive digestive troubles brought me back to avoiding grains for 10 months. Lo and behold: arthritis was gone along with the aches in my belly. Not everybody gets arthritis, not everybody is getting hurt by lectins - there is a genetic factor involved. But to those with arthitis I say: it's worth quitting grains, plus: pressure-cook all legumes, avoid bell-peppers and eggplants. The only grain that is lectin-free: sorghum and millet. Hope this might help somebody out there. I am free of severe arthritis - no medication, no inflammation. This has nothing to do with alleriges or gluten sensitivity. Lectins are a plant's natural defense substances against viruses, insects, fungi - but in the human gut, they can loosen the binding molecules between cells in some people.

Mark Hyman is a living legend..I’ve said it before & I will say it again..this man saved my life ! 🙏🏻

[Vinny]

I've been working with a functional Dr. and did the elimination diet. I didn't know how bad I felt until I did this. Working on repairing my leaky gut. Thank you functional medicine!

[loue]

Getting off sugar grains and all highly processed foods made such a difference for me. I have multiple health problems and all are better.

The gut bone's connected to the brain bone.

All I know is when I started Keto 2 1/2 months ago, my belly quit aching. Gotta mean I'm doing something right 🥰

[TamuNgina]

Wow… so timely and so true.
From (divorce) stress my gut got really messed up….
Sluggishness sick unmotivated
At my wits end
Lots of Aloe Juice is helping and now I need to move forward.
I could go on and on…. But I am determined to get a reset!!
Thank you Doc!!!

Currently, I have SIBO and Graves Disease. Something you said always comes to my mind, "why is your immune system pissed off?". I am being treated by the Cleveland Clinic's functional medicine, but I'm about to start my second round of Rifaximan. I was doin' ok but I may have had one too many bowls of guac and chips. So, my hyperthyroid has flared up again and I'm still having SIBO symptoms. I've come to understand that my gut health is key and this time around, I hope to be SIBO free and on my way the autoimmune disease free.

Thank you for this. The shorter format is way easier to make time for. ❤

[ldkooky]

Thank you for you and all the REAL doctors who have addressed these concerns. Keep it up. People are hearing you.

Very good video. I found it extremely helpful to listen carefully to everything Dr Hyman had to say, even when it didn't apply to me, and to take notes for future reference. It seems to boil down to Eating Mindfully. Eat better, eat less and exercise. Even when you feel uncomfortable, move.

Unless you regulate your nervous system and address any stressors in your life its a lot harder to heal. Ive been doing all the supposedly good things that we are advised but i was still struggling...you have to cut down on the stress and subconscious programming!

[annetteivey]

If you don't help I am gonna just quit bothering

[hmmm..]

Wow, doc! What a great explanation. So very much appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge. I’ve had anxiety for years, and like magic it is gone after watching you, and taking your advice. We’ve been cutting carbs way, way down, and cutting wheat 100%. Thank you!! You’re changing lives at our house and we are grateful.

I have gut issues, no gallbladder bladder, no uterus an ovaries as well, never given any advise on aftercare or anything on what to take to get my body back on track.
I can't digest food properly, I take a probiotic and digestive enzymes, and Betaine HCL. I eat healthy I don't eat any process or junk foods but I do have a lot of stress in my life. I feel like I am gasping for breath sometimes. I don't have no heart issues. I was told I am low on; B1. Please let me know what else can I do?

[pallexa]

I wish I was told this 20 years ago when they diagnosed me with RA. I wish I knew how to fix it.

[randomfun]

That hits home!! This endodontist went on vacation & postponed my appointment & he gave me like 4 rounds of antibiotics. I got bad digestion after that & gained weight.
