Rebekah Kelley Reviewer So I am here today to talk to you about the importance of listening to your gut.

Brief hello.

I'm a 38-year-old entrepreneur, biochemist,

went to MIT, BU School of Medicine,

and I have decided to dedicate my life to studying the gut and the gut microbiome.

Six years ago, I even started a company to address this issue,

and I'm a routine contributor to some of the publications that you see here as a specialist in gut health.

I've been really fortunate over the last few years to have worked with professional athletes

and professional athletic teams to try to improve their gut health,

because it's so intimately related to things like increasing performance,

decreasing sickness and improving recovery time.

So why am I here today?

Well, I'm here to talk to you about what I think is the most important organ,

and that is the gut microbiome.

So for those of you who don't know what the gut microbiome is,

it's everything from your mouth to your colon,

from entry to exit, all the bits in between,

so your stomach, your small intestine,

your large intestine, and all of the little critters that live in there,

So bacteria, fungi, viruses and cells,

there are trillions of these little critters that are living in there.

And we'll talk about this a little bit more later,

but diversity is so important in the gut.

So why is it important to have a healthy gut?

Well, it's really important for long-term health.

So if you have a healthy gut,

you're going to feel more energetic,

you're going to get sick less often,

you're going to have better mental clarity and ultimately have better emotional well-being.

versus if you don't have a healthy gut.

A lot of research is showing that this is related to things like autoimmune conditions,

diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's,

and even emotional issues like anxiety and depression.

So our theme for today is,

you are what you eat.

So you're probably sitting there thinking,

yeah, you know, as a kid,

my parents always used to tell me,

you are what you eat,

as they tried to foist broccoli off on me,

or if you were really,

really lucky, Brussels sprouts and other things like that.

But the reality is, they're actually right.

Eating poorly can do, really, two things.

So the first, one, it can prevent you from getting the nutrients that you need to stay healthy.

And second, it can actually damage and change the entire composition of your gut,

which will render it unable to digest things properly and create the nutrients that you need to function.

So today we're going to look at three molecules that you get from dietary intake.

You have to eat these things.

So the first is something called tryptophan.

You've probably heard of this.

Thanksgiving comes, everybody talks about the tryptophan-induced coma that happens after you have your food.

It's found in turkey, but it's also found in things like eggs and chia seeds.

So your body takes tryptophan and converts it into a lot of other really important molecules,

two of which we're going to talk about today.

So one called serotonin.

Serotonin is something that makes you happy,

super important, and something called melatonin,

which actually helps you to sleep.

So imagine if you don't have any tryptophan or you're not consuming enough tryptophan.

Well, no matter how many roses or diamonds or chocolates your significant other brings you,

it's just not going to make you happy,

and that's kind of sad.

Also, you won't be able to sleep,

so you won't be able to count sheep at night.

Another example is a compound called tyrosine.

So tyrosine, another amino acid,

is found in foods like almonds,

but it's also found in lentils and seeds and edamame.

Tyrosine is converted to a variety of really important things as well.

So we'll talk about dopamine.

Dopamine is a compound that you may have heard of,

and it's essentially, it motivates you to do stuff.

So it's this initiative-oriented behavior that it helps to propel.

And epinephrine, which is also known as adrenaline,

the fight-or-flight molecule, which is really helpful when you're up on this stage.

So, you know, imagine if you don't have these things.

What would happen?

Well, here's what would happen.

One, you'd be drooling on your couch.

Or worse yet, if you were being chased by a mountain lion,

which I'm sure, you know,

who knows, may happen at some point in everybody's life.

The emoji being, you know, huh?

You don't want this to happen, right?

You need a body to respond to these types of situations.

Third, we're going to talk about something called indole-3-lactic acid.

So it's really important.

It's found in fermented foods,

things like pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir.

ILA is super important because your body takes it in,

and there's certain bacteria in the gut that actually convert the ILA into something called IPA, indole-propionic acid.

That indole-propionic acid is actually one of the strongest antioxidants in the body.

And again, you guys might have heard of this word antioxidant,

but I'll explain what it does.

So in your body, you have a variety of different chemical processes that happen,

and many of them create things called free radicals.

These are bad.

They're reactive species that go and damage your cells.

100

They damage DNA, and then ultimately can lead to things like cancer.

101

So these antioxidants come in and actually break down your free radicals,

102

keeping you healthy longer.

103

IPA, very important.

104

So clearly eating certain types of foods is really necessary to keep you healthy,

105

but it's not sufficient.

106

A healthy microbiome is needed to be able to execute these conversion processes that we're talking about,

107

to take things in, to digest them,

108

and to spit out other molecules that are really important to your health.

109

So let's talk a a little bit about what makes a healthy microbiome.

110

So I've tried to simplify this a bit,

111

but essentially each emoji is a type of bacteria.

112

You have different ones, right?

113

So you've got some that digest veggies,

114

some that digest meats and breads and oils,

115

and your gut is populated by many,

116

many different types of things.

117

So in a healthy gut,

118

you have very diverse species in there.

119

Now let's say you decide that you are just going to eat foods that are really high in fat,

120

things like hot dogs and ice cream and pizza although pizza sounds really good right now.

121

If you train your system to do this,

122

your gut's going to start producing more and more of the type of bacteria

123

that are used to seeing the kinds of foods that you eat.

124

And eventually, you're going to skew the ratios.

125

Those bacteria are going to out-compete the other types that are there,

126

because they're just not being used.

127

And then you'll end up with a situation where you can have a very unhealthy,

128

not diverse set of bacteria in your gut.

129

Now, you might ask, can you reverse that?

130

Yes, but it often takes a lot of time and energy to do.

131

Sometimes you actually can't.

132

Sometimes you just, you know,

133

once those bacteria are gone,

134

it's really tough to bring them back.

135

So what's really interesting is the body tries to actually generate the right building blocks,

136

even if you've damaged your gut.

137

So again, on the bottom right-hand side,

138

you can see there's a silhouette.

139

You can see the little emojis down at the bottom.

140

They've taken in food, but you don't have a diverse set of bacteria in there.

141

They've taken in your food,

142

and they're trying to create these compounds to keep you healthy,

143

but there's just not enough of them.

144

They're not working the right way.

145

Whereas on the other side,

146

you've got a silhouette where the person has lots of diversity,

147

lots of different bacteria emojis,

148

and they're being able to take in the food,

149

digest it, and spit out many things that are really important to keep you healthy.

150

Now, here's the sad part.

151

Many of the things that we do in our life are in fact completely lethal to the microbiome.

152

I love chips.

153

Sadly, you don't find a lot of healthy stuff in most chips.

154

You're not gonna find tyrosine, tryptophan, or ILA here.

155

Antibiotics, medicines, helpful, but they kill bacteria.

156

And they don't just kill bad bacteria, they kill all bacteria.

157

And so oftentimes, after you've gone through a course of antibiotics,

158

you kill off your microbiome.

159

Sometimes it never rebuilds properly again.

160

Stress.

161

You know, you hear this,

162

stress kills things, stress is bad.

163

We could have a whole 30-minute talk on the impact of stress on the microbiome.

164

Stress is, in fact, extremely bad for the microbiome.

165

Your central nervous system, your brain,

166

is intimately connected to your gut.

167

The two talk back and forth to each other.

168

Think about it.

169

When you're stressed, you have a headache, you feel terrible.

170

You often feel that stress in your stomach,

171

butterflies in your stomach, anxiety.

172

Sometimes you have to go to the bathroom more.

173

The two talk to each other all the time.

174

They're intimately connected.

175

And so the more stressed you are,

176

the more likely it is that you will damage your microbiome.

177

And then lastly, we live in a very aseptic society.

178

And this is bad.

179

It decreases the diversity of bacteria in the gut.

180

One of my favorite examples is back many years ago,

181

So kids would play in the dirt,

182

and they'd be exposed to all kinds of different things.

183

Now kids come inside, they watch TV,

184

they play on their phones,

185

and a lot of diseases are actually being connected to the lack of diversity in the gut.

186

Things like autism, ADHD.

187

So super important to get outside.

188

So what can we do about this?

189

Well, the good news is not all is lost.

190

It is possible to improve your gut.

191

And this is one of the things that I get to do every day,

192

and I'm so fortunate in my job.

193

My company actually is trying to measure the functional state of the gut,

194

define what that is, and then to create interventions to improve it.

195

We call this improving your internal fitness.

196

So what are some simple things that you can do to help improve your gut?

197

Well, one, we've talked about changing your diet.

198

Two, we've talked about stress management techniques,

199

incorporating mindfulness, meditation, breathing exercises to minimize your stress,

200

or exercise is great, 15-20 minutes of walking a day can help to keep you regular.

201

We talk about that in front of the group,

202

but that's what we do.

203

It can help to mitigate your stress,

204

and it can actually help to promote the growth of certain types of bacteria.

205

And then lastly, targeted supplementation.

206

I'm not saying to take lots of different supplements.

207

I'm saying if there's certain things that your body needs,

208

you might actually take a supplement.

209

Sometimes there's a lot of fish that you have to eat in order to get the equivalency of one pill,

210

but make sure it's what you need.

211

So the next time that you're lying on the couch,

212

feeling lethargic and not sure why,

213

or you're sick for the fifth time in a year,

214

listen to your gut.

215

Thank you.

216

you
