Episode Synopsis

In Episode #7 I interviewed MarceI van de Wouw, PhD and we discussed how eating a plant-based diet can positively impact your gut microbiome. We also talk about the ways in which the gut microbiota influences your health; like losing weight, improving metabolism and  decreasing the negative effects of mental stress. In this conversation we also discussed:- Marcel’s journey to becoming plant-based. - The by-products made by your gut microbiome and how they communicate health in your body (e.g. short chain fatty acids or SCFAs)- The microbiota-gut-brain connection and how stress can negatively impact your microbiome (and vice versa!). - Strategies to improve your gut microbiota with plants and fiber. - Research that demonstrates the benefits of eating a fiber rich plant-based diet and how vegan diets make some of the biggest changes.Resources:- University of Calgary Psychobiology Developmental Lab: IG https://cumming.ucalgary.ca/labs/developmental-psychobiology/people/current-team- Vegan Diets and Gut Microbiota research: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35071294/- Vegan diet intervention research: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32987642/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31292752/- Research on how plant-based diets may influence the gut microbiota (e.g., increased fiber intake): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31058160/and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32098430/- Many of these fibers are broken down by the gut microbiota into a type of compounds called "short-chain fatty acids", which have been linked to energy metabolism, gut health, the immune system, how resilient we are to stress, and even mental health.
