symptoms for good
0:01:15.680,0:01:19.920
and it’s really helpful information that
0:01:17.439,0:01:21.680
you probably won’t get anywhere else
0:01:19.920,0:01:23.759
now a little bit of background the
0:01:21.680,0:01:25.840
mistake i see most people make is that
0:01:23.759,0:01:27.200
they think all food is created equal and
0:01:25.840,0:01:29.200
that they can just eat whatever they
0:01:27.200,0:01:31.280
want and expect their lupus inflammation
0:01:29.200,0:01:33.280
to go away while everyone may be
0:01:31.280,0:01:35.040
different the truth is there are some
0:01:33.280,0:01:37.280
significant ways to decrease
0:01:35.040,0:01:40.240
inflammation on your own within your
0:01:37.280,0:01:41.280
control which greatly impact lupus
0:01:40.240,0:01:43.520
symptoms
0:01:41.280,0:01:45.600
one way the best way is to improve your
0:01:43.520,0:01:47.119
gut health this is what i teach in my
0:01:45.600,0:01:49.280
clinic and the material you’re about to
0:01:47.119,0:01:51.439
watch is taken straight out of my mind
0:01:49.280,0:01:53.840
gut immunity academy where people just
0:01:51.439,0:01:55.280
like you learn how to beat their lupus
0:01:53.840,0:01:58.079
symptoms for good
0:01:55.280,0:02:00.079
even when the diagnosis is unclear
0:01:58.079,0:02:02.799
remember that the gut contains over a
0:02:00.079,0:02:05.360
trillion immune cells that’s trillion
0:02:02.799,0:02:07.200
with a t so certain conditions which are
0:02:05.360,0:02:09.599
caused by immune inflammation have a
0:02:07.200,0:02:11.200
strong relationship with gut health
0:02:09.599,0:02:12.959
now to understand the topic of gut
0:02:11.200,0:02:14.959
health there are a few useful concepts
0:02:12.959,0:02:16.400
i’ll share with you in this video now i
0:02:14.959,0:02:19.200
want to introduce you to a concept
0:02:16.400,0:02:20.879
called intestinal transit time
0:02:19.200,0:02:24.000
this is the amount of time it takes for
0:02:20.879,0:02:26.080
food to travel through the gi tract
0:02:24.000,0:02:29.200
usually food will travel through the
0:02:26.080,0:02:31.920
small intestine in four to six hours and
0:02:29.200,0:02:34.000
the large intestine in about 12.
0:02:31.920,0:02:36.319
but let’s say you’re constipated and you
0:02:34.000,0:02:38.879
have bacterial overgrowth then sometimes
0:02:36.319,0:02:40.879
it can take several days or up to a week
0:02:38.879,0:02:43.200
to get through
0:02:40.879,0:02:45.200
lingering foods is a term i came up with
0:02:43.200,0:02:47.200
to describe any type of food that
0:02:45.200,0:02:48.160
lingers in the intestinal tract for too
0:02:47.200,0:02:51.920
long
0:02:48.160,0:02:55.040
this list includes meats cheeses sugars
0:02:51.920,0:02:57.599
and simple carbs like flour or bread now
0:02:55.040,0:03:00.239
how long is too long well anything more
0:02:57.599,0:03:03.360
than 12 hours which means you should aim
0:03:00.239,0:03:06.319
to produce stool multiple times a day
0:03:03.360,0:03:09.440
two to four bowel movements a day is
0:03:06.319,0:03:11.360
ideal and normal around the world and in
0:03:09.440,0:03:13.360
our own human history
0:03:11.360,0:03:16.000
when we were foraging for food our
0:03:13.360,0:03:17.840
ancestors went two to four times a day
0:03:16.000,0:03:20.239
nowadays in developing countries we’re
0:03:17.840,0:03:21.840
lucky to even go once a day some of my
0:03:20.239,0:03:24.400
clients who suffer from bacterial
0:03:21.840,0:03:26.879
overgrowth ibs and constipation
0:03:24.400,0:03:29.040
sometimes only go a couple times a week
0:03:26.879,0:03:31.840
all of these folks have problems with
0:03:29.040,0:03:34.879
inflammation fatigue stress and it’s
0:03:31.840,0:03:37.200
pretty bad so why do these foods linger
0:03:34.879,0:03:40.560
remember i said the list includes meat
0:03:37.200,0:03:42.319
dairy processed grain and sugar
0:03:40.560,0:03:44.879
this is directly related to the amount
0:03:42.319,0:03:47.360
of fiber in these foods and when i say
0:03:44.879,0:03:49.200
fiber most people think of metamucil or
0:03:47.360,0:03:50.560
this thick powdery stuff we mix into
0:03:49.200,0:03:52.239
water and drink
0:03:50.560,0:03:55.200
but when i’m talking about fiber and
0:03:52.239,0:03:57.040
particularly insoluble fiber i’m talking
0:03:55.200,0:04:00.080
about that chewy fibrous material in
0:03:57.040,0:04:02.080
plants and vegetables for example celery
0:04:00.080,0:04:04.080
when you chew it and chew it you’re left
0:04:02.080,0:04:05.680
with this material that you can really
0:04:04.080,0:04:07.680
you can’t really break up and you just
0:04:05.680,0:04:10.560
end up swallowing it same thing with
0:04:07.680,0:04:12.480
broccoli and kale and carrots it turns
0:04:10.560,0:04:14.400
out this fibrous material is not
0:04:12.480,0:04:15.680
digested in the intestines but it does
0:04:14.400,0:04:18.160
two things
0:04:15.680,0:04:20.160
one it pulls in water making the bowel
0:04:18.160,0:04:22.320
movements nice and soft
0:04:20.160,0:04:24.639
two it prevents the growth of bad
0:04:22.320,0:04:26.320
bacteria in the intestines in the colon
0:04:24.639,0:04:29.040
that’s why you hear a lot of people talk
0:04:26.320,0:04:30.960
about fibers being a pre-biotic because
0:04:29.040,0:04:34.080
it basically sets up your intestines for
0:04:30.960,0:04:35.759
success by harboring good bacteria and
0:04:34.080,0:04:38.320
by the way there’s nothing special or
0:04:35.759,0:04:40.400
profound about prebiotics so don’t get
0:04:38.320,0:04:42.560
tricked by the marketing all prebiotics
0:04:40.400,0:04:44.880
are basically fiber and you should be
0:04:42.560,0:04:46.880
getting enough of it from your diet i
0:04:44.880,0:04:48.400
think fiber is very underrated and
0:04:46.880,0:04:50.639
should be considered an essential
0:04:48.400,0:04:52.880
nutrient and because it’s only found in
0:04:50.639,0:04:54.720
plants it’s considered an essential
0:04:52.880,0:04:56.960
phytonutrient
0:04:54.720,0:04:57.919
so what are some examples of high fiber
0:04:56.960,0:04:59.360
foods
0:04:57.919,0:05:02.000
here they are
0:04:59.360,0:05:05.280
the list includes things like sprouts
0:05:02.000,0:05:07.280
micro greens broccoli celery carrots
0:05:05.280,0:05:08.840
dark berries like blackberry blueberry
0:05:07.280,0:05:10.400
and elderberry
0:05:08.840,0:05:12.639
avocados
0:05:10.400,0:05:14.880
almonds pecans and walnuts
0:05:12.639,0:05:16.000
lentils beans and peas
0:05:14.880,0:05:18.720
quinoa
0:05:16.000,0:05:20.800
and turnips and beets
0:05:18.720,0:05:23.759
these foods by the way should comprise
0:05:20.800,0:05:25.520
75 percent of what you eat so that you
0:05:23.759,0:05:27.440
know that you’re getting enough fiber
0:05:25.520,0:05:29.520
every day so i’m going to use this as an
0:05:27.440,0:05:31.280
opportunity to go into a little bit more
0:05:29.520,0:05:34.400
in depth here and discuss the concept of
0:05:31.280,0:05:37.199
fiber ratios in my opinion if you can
0:05:34.400,0:05:39.039
understand this concept of fiber ratios
0:05:37.199,0:05:41.280
you’ll understand the basis of almost
0:05:39.039,0:05:43.600
every single weight loss diet ever
0:05:41.280,0:05:45.600
invented i included it here because it
0:05:43.600,0:05:47.759
will help you judge what types of food
0:05:45.600,0:05:49.919
you should focus on to achieve the
0:05:47.759,0:05:51.440
desired goal it would also be an eye
0:05:49.919,0:05:52.960
opener into the world of fitness and
0:05:51.440,0:05:55.039
nutrition
0:05:52.960,0:05:57.759
our ancestral diets back when we used to
0:05:55.039,0:05:59.680
gather our food from nature consisted of
0:05:57.759,0:06:02.080
a hundred grams of fiber
0:05:59.680,0:06:03.759
now we’re lucky if our diet has 20 grams
0:06:02.080,0:06:05.440
of fiber considering all the packaged
0:06:03.759,0:06:07.199
and processed foods we eat
0:06:05.440,0:06:09.039
and when i’m talking about fiber i’m not
0:06:07.199,0:06:10.639
talking about the powdery stuff you mix
0:06:09.039,0:06:12.160
into water and try to chug before it
0:06:10.639,0:06:14.800
congeals i’m talking about the fiber you
0:06:12.160,0:06:17.919
have to chew chew in order to swallow an
0:06:14.800,0:06:20.000
example would be celery or cabbage
0:06:17.919,0:06:22.400
why does this matter our intestinal
0:06:20.000,0:06:24.400
system functions well when it has one
0:06:22.400,0:06:26.160
gram of fiber for every 20 calories
0:06:24.400,0:06:27.199
instead of one gram of fiber for every
0:06:26.160,0:06:29.360
hundred
0:06:27.199,0:06:31.120
and with that fiber you need to also
0:06:29.360,0:06:32.960
drink lots and lots of water almost a
0:06:31.120,0:06:35.120
gallon a day because the fluid and the
0:06:32.960,0:06:36.960
fiber is retained in the food waste and
0:06:35.120,0:06:38.960
gets expelled and dumped out quickly
0:06:36.960,0:06:40.800
from the body fiber ratios are very
0:06:38.960,0:06:42.720
important because they basically dictate
0:06:40.800,0:06:44.160
how well your bowels function and how
0:06:42.720,0:06:45.120
much inflammation is produced in your
0:06:44.160,0:06:47.199
body
0:06:45.120,0:06:49.199
if you have high amounts of inflammation
0:06:47.199,0:06:51.199
then your disease worsens and you gain a
0:06:49.199,0:06:52.560
lot of weight and you keep it on instead
0:06:51.199,0:06:54.960
of burning it off
0:06:52.560,0:06:57.599
so with that being said we should in an
0:06:54.960,0:06:59.840
ideal world aim for one gram of fiber
0:06:57.599,0:07:02.479
for every 20 calories and this is very
0:06:59.840,0:07:05.120
hard and next impossible for most people
0:07:02.479,0:07:06.560
i myself rarely hit this target so i
0:07:05.120,0:07:08.960
might just say to myself let’s just try
0:07:06.560,0:07:11.520
to get 40 to 50 grams of fiber a day and
0:07:08.960,0:07:13.599
by the way if you’re at a 2 000 calorie
0:07:11.520,0:07:15.520
diet that translates to 1 gram for every
0:07:13.599,0:07:18.400
40 to 50 calories
0:07:15.520,0:07:20.960
the fda thinks 28 grams per day is
0:07:18.400,0:07:22.160
enough but i think 40 to 50 should be
0:07:20.960,0:07:24.400
your target
0:07:22.160,0:07:27.120
keep in mind that’s still one half of
0:07:24.400,0:07:29.280
the fiber that our ancestors used to eat
0:07:27.120,0:07:31.520
you can never really have too much
0:07:29.280,0:07:33.280
so let’s get back into it after about
0:07:31.520,0:07:35.919
four hours the food waste gets
0:07:33.280,0:07:37.599
metabolized by intestinal bacteria the
0:07:35.919,0:07:40.240
first time it gets metabolized they
0:07:37.599,0:07:42.319
create primary metabolites these primary
0:07:40.240,0:07:44.319
metabolites become food for a second
0:07:42.319,0:07:46.960
population of bacteria which then
0:07:44.319,0:07:48.560
creates secondary metabolites and so on
0:07:46.960,0:07:50.560
and so forth
0:07:48.560,0:07:52.639
this set of bacteria the ones doing the
0:07:50.560,0:07:54.400
primary metabolism these are good
0:07:52.639,0:07:55.520
bacteria they keep our intestines
0:07:54.400,0:07:57.599
healthy
0:07:55.520,0:07:59.599
this second population of bacteria is
0:07:57.599,0:08:01.840
problematic because the secondary
0:07:59.599,0:08:04.400
metabolites are what cause bloating
0:08:01.840,0:08:05.759
inflammation weight gain depression and
0:08:04.400,0:08:07.199
even cancer
0:08:05.759,0:08:08.960
and this makes sense
0:08:07.199,0:08:11.039
think about when you feel bloated or
0:08:08.960,0:08:13.440
inflamed the colon is usually just
0:08:11.039,0:08:14.720
storing and holding on to feces before
0:08:13.440,0:08:16.720
expelling it
0:08:14.720,0:08:19.199
by the way you can test this out there
0:08:16.720,0:08:20.720
is a way you can calculate intestinal
0:08:19.199,0:08:22.720
transit time it’s called a
0:08:20.720,0:08:24.879
follow-through study you ingest some
0:08:22.720,0:08:27.039
contrast dye and then the radiologist
0:08:24.879,0:08:29.360
takes some x-ray photos every few
0:08:27.039,0:08:31.599
minutes usually at the end of four hours
0:08:29.360,0:08:33.279
the contrast reaches the colon and then
0:08:31.599,0:08:35.599
you can time how long it takes for you
0:08:33.279,0:08:37.839
to have a bowel movement now if you
0:08:35.599,0:08:40.320
don’t want to undergo a medical test the
0:08:37.839,0:08:43.200
simple way you can do this at home is to
0:08:40.320,0:08:45.760
eat an entire beet or two and see how
0:08:43.200,0:08:48.399
long it takes for your stool to turn red
0:08:45.760,0:08:50.399
if it happens within 12 to 24 hours
0:08:48.399,0:08:52.800
you’re usually good if it takes any
0:08:50.399,0:08:54.880
longer like two days or more then you’re
0:08:52.800,0:08:56.560
probably in trouble and probably deal
0:08:54.880,0:08:58.399
with a lot of bacterial overgrowth and
0:08:56.560,0:08:59.920
inflammation
0:08:58.399,0:09:01.680
when you’re first starting out you want
0:08:59.920,0:09:03.519
to make sure that you’re getting rid of
0:09:01.680,0:09:05.120
the bad bacteria in your colon and if
0:09:03.519,0:09:07.120
doing that is a problem you can take
0:09:05.120,0:09:09.760
some milk of magnesia and try to have
0:09:07.120,0:09:11.760
two to four liquid bowel movements a day
0:09:09.760,0:09:13.760
for a couple of days it will allow you
0:09:11.760,0:09:15.920
to get a jump start on repopulating your
0:09:13.760,0:09:17.920
gut with good bacteria think of it like
0:09:15.920,0:09:20.000
removing weeds in the garden so you can
0:09:17.920,0:09:21.440
make room for better things to grow
0:09:20.000,0:09:23.120
so that’s the topic of intestinal
0:09:21.440,0:09:25.120
transit time it’s very important for
0:09:23.120,0:09:27.200
controlling what types of bacteria live
0:09:25.120,0:09:29.040
in our gut it’s also important to
0:09:27.200,0:09:30.880
regulate inflammation
0:09:29.040,0:09:32.959
you can impact this by eating a lot of
0:09:30.880,0:09:35.040
fiber and taking magnesium supplements
0:09:32.959,0:09:36.880
when you get constipated all right i
0:09:35.040,0:09:39.040
hope that you enjoyed that video who
0:09:36.880,0:09:40.880
knew that fiber could do so much and
0:09:39.040,0:09:42.880
that’s why foods that contain lots of
0:09:40.880,0:09:45.040
fiber are considered superfoods because
0:09:42.880,0:09:47.600
they help in so many ways decrease
0:09:45.040,0:09:49.680
inflammation coming from the intestines
0:09:47.600,0:09:51.920
the same inflammation that triggers
0:09:49.680,0:09:54.000
dysfunctional immune response when food
0:09:51.920,0:09:55.519
lingers too long in the intestines now
0:09:54.000,0:09:57.279
that you know about intestinal transit
0:09:55.519,0:09:59.279
time i want to know what foods you would
0:09:57.279,0:10:02.000
like to eat that contain substantial
