If you are interested in nutrition, you have likely heard the term, ‘gut microbiome,’ but what is it, and why is it important? Dr. Chris Damman, clinical associate professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology at UW Medicine shares how our bodies are transformed by bioactive compounds in the foods we eat. He addresses how a new approach to what we put in our bodies is inspiring next generation nutritional approaches to non-communicable diseases.

    I'm in a Canadian study regarding the C Diff bacteria. I will give a brief overview of how I caught C Diff. I ended up going to emergency in July 2023.I was bleeding internally! I found out that the bleeding was due to stress! I stayed in the hospital for a week, and I received iron daily to rebuild the blood that I lost. While I was at the hospital I contracted the C Diff bacteria! To make a long story short, I received a FMT ( fecal microflora transplant) a month ago,and I am grateful for the opportunity to get my new microflora 🌝 I feel like a new person mentally AND physically ❤

    One of the best presentations I've seen on this general topic. I'm wfpb 77 yo and have heard hundreds of presentations on this.

    If the inflection point started in the 70's it seems about the time processed foods prior to this time turned into profits that health started down a slippery slope
  • @jezzystar9953
    This answered so many questions, wish I was there 🤓

    It's no big mystery causing these things. High fructose corn syrup is on about everything. So are hydrogenated and altered fats. Them there are forever chemicals. All these are known to be endocrine disrupters and that alone leads to obesity and diabetes and heart disease. Not only that, but our soil microbiome is depleted , and vegetable have less vitamins and minerals than 50 years ago.

    Very informative. Great, easy to follow speaker. But, why on earth do so many in these fields dodge questions like "what medical specialty should we see next?" Can't say it out loud? Is there some kind of secret handshake? I am currently desperately seeking similar medical help and competent medical help always seems to be just out of reach. I can read about it, but not find it. I did really enjoy the presentation though. Thanks

    Use a color coding system like green, yellow, and red foods possibly 4 or 5 colors.

    One of the audience asked about improving health through education and the speaker said that he had a pet project that is an educational book for children. I just thought about the movie "Inside Out" which is basically about educational movie about our mental/emotional aspect and health. How about a movie about gut health? Various narrartives can be made given that microbiomes are diverse. @Pixar

    I’ve lost my cord for my Sota magnetic purser. How can I get another one? I don’t see it in products in your web page…
