Q & A
What is the analogy made between the macrocosm and the human body in the script?
-The script draws an analogy between the harmony and perfection found in the planets of the macrocosm and the harmony of microorganisms within the human body's microcosm, specifically in the intestine.
What role do microorganisms in the intestine play according to the script?
-Microorganisms in the intestine are described as controlling our health substantially, and maintaining their balance is key to our overall well-being.
How does the script suggest that our lifestyle affects the harmony of our microbiome?
-The script implies that our lifestyle choices can disrupt the harmony of the microbiome, leading to imbalances that can negatively impact our health.
What is the significance of the 99% of genes mentioned in the script?
-The script highlights that 99% of our genes come from microorganisms, emphasizing the importance of these microorganisms in our body's functions and health.
What is the approach suggested in the script for rebalancing an imbalanced microbiome?
-The script suggests that rebalancing an imbalanced microbiome involves not just taking probiotics, but also ensuring a sufficient intake of diverse fibers daily.
Why is it not enough to just take probiotics according to the script?
-The script explains that simply taking probiotics is not enough because it's like planting a few trees in a forest; it doesn't change the ecosystem. The microbiome is our ecosystem, and it requires a more comprehensive approach, including fiber intake.
What is the role of fibers in maintaining the health of the microbiome as per the script?
-Fibers are essential for the microbiome as they provide the necessary substrate for beneficial bacteria to thrive. Without sufficient fibers, certain bacteria may degrade the mucosal layer, leading to increased intestinal permeability and immune system activation.
How do certain bacteria like Akkermansia and Ruminococcus benefit from fibers according to the script?
-These bacteria are mucin-degraders, meaning they feed on the mucin layer of the intestine. When fibers are provided, these bacteria can fully express their beneficial functions.
What is the script's stance on the use of antibiotics for intestinal issues?
-The script criticizes the over-prescription of antibiotics for intestinal issues, suggesting that a more holistic approach considering the microbiome is necessary.
How does the script relate the microbiome to brain-related diseases?
-The script suggests a strong link between the microbiome and brain health, mentioning that conditions like autism, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's often come with intestinal problems, and that the microbiome could potentially be used to improve brain physiology.
What is the importance of a comprehensive analysis of the microbiome as mentioned in the script?
-The script emphasizes that individual bacteria are not enough to understand the microbiome's role in health. A comprehensive analysis is necessary to view the microbiome as an ecosystem, which is crucial for understanding its impact on overall health.

They emphasize the perfect harmony of microorganisms in our gut, which significantly controls our health. The speaker acknowledges that our lifestyle often disrupts this balance but reassures that it can be restored. They express a common desire to understand what to eat, what to avoid, and what truly benefits our health. The speaker shares personal insights into dietary advice, questioning the common recommendation to avoid certain foods like fish and the use of probiotics. They explain their daily practice of using probiotics to rebalance the gut of patients with microbial imbalances. The speaker highlights the importance of understanding the microbiome, stating that 99% of our genes come from microorganisms, with only 1% being human. They stress the need for scientifically validated solutions, referencing hundreds of studies and publications that support their approach. The speaker concludes by discussing the importance of dietary fiber in maintaining a healthy microbiome, explaining how a lack of fiber can lead to certain bacteria degrading the mucin layer, increasing intestinal permeability and activating the immune system. They also touch on the broader implications of a healthy microbiome for overall health, including its impact on conditions like obesity and weight loss.
🧠 The Gut-Brain Connection and Its Impact on Neurological Health
In the second paragraph, the speaker delves into the concept of the gut as the 'second brain,' highlighting the connection between intestinal health and neurological disorders. They discuss how conditions like autism, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's often come with intestinal problems. The speaker references a recent study conducted with colleagues from Southampton, where they analyzed the microbial signatures of patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. They hint at upcoming publications that will reveal these findings, emphasizing the difficulty in denying the link between gut health and brain function. The speaker suggests that by addressing gut health, it may be possible to improve cerebral physiology, thereby potentially impacting the treatment and understanding of neurological conditions.

in molti associano la perfezione e
l'armonia ai pianeti al macrocosmo io lo
associo al microcosmo all'interno del
vostro intestino c'è una grandissima
Armonia di
[Musica]
microorganismi quello che vedo ogni
giorno nel vostro intestino è un'armonia
perfetta di microorganismi che
controllano sostanzialmente la nostra
salute e solo ora ce ne stiamo
accorgendo Tuttavia il nostro stile di
vita va ad intaccare questa Armonia Ma
per fortuna si può rimediare una volta
capito questo Come mantenere le nostre
comunità microbiche in armonia avremo
capito il segreto per mantenerci in
salute a molti di noi noi piacerebbe
sapere cosa mangiare Cosa evitare e
soprattutto cosa ci fa davvero bene Io
spesso riesco a gonfiarmi anche con
un'insalata Mai avrei pensato di
autorizzare diete con scritto evitare
pesce di questa tipologia non prendere
assolutamente probiotici e invece è
quello che faccio ogni giorno per
riequilibrare l'intestino delle persone
che si rivolgono a noi perché l
sbilanciamenti delle comunità microbiche
Sì si possono risolvere una volta capito
questo cambia tutto il 999% dei nostri
geni provengono da microorganismi solo
il restante 1% è umano Quindi si capisce
che il bello di questa ricerca deve
ancora venire io studio le disbiosi le
identifico e metto su dei procedimenti
per risolverle se poi alla fine
risolvendo una S biosi riuscissimo a
risolvere anche il tuo problema non lo
dico io non Inizierei Mai un qualcosa
che non sia validato e scientificamente
provato da centinaia di studi e
pubblicazioni scientifiche e quindi sì
spesso risolvendo una disbiosi si va
anche a migliorare lo stato di salute e
di quella determinata problematica che
ha innescato una serie di reazioni a
catena basta prendere i probioti per
risolvere questi sbilanciamenti queste
disbiosi intestinali Beh purtroppo no
non basta solo quello non è che solo tre
piantine inserite in una foresta ne
cambiano l'ecosistema e la comunità
microbica è proprio il nostro ecosistema
quindi non basta solo intervenire in
questo modo ma intervenendo anche con un
30 40 50 g di fibre variegate al giorno
Beh forse Se quello l'ecosistema lo può
cambiare se non diamo fibre al nostro
microbiota sarà proprio il microbiota a
nutrirsi di noi stessi Mi spiego meglio
generi batterici molto molto importanti
come per esempio Acer manzia e
ruminococcus sono però dei generi che
vanno a nutrirsi di mucina sono dei
musin degrader Quindi vanno a degradare
questa mucina perché il loro substrato
di cibo però questo quando succede
succede quando vi è un'assenza di fibre
se noi diamo fibre È ovvio che questi
generi batterici espleterà completamente
le loro funzioni benefiche ma avere
questi generi molto alti in una
condizione dove il paziente non si va a
nutrire con un adeguato apporto di fibre
può innescare una reazione opposta cioè
andare a gradare lo strato di mucina e
ridurre appunto l'impermeabilità
intestinale rendendolo più permeabile e
questo fa sì che si attivi il sistema
immunitario verso uno stato di difesa
quando soffri di svariati problemi
intestinali che non possono essere
incasellati molti medici prescrivono
antibiotici come caramelle invece altri
appunto vanno a guardare anche la
aspetto del microbiota e specialmente su
problematiche come l'obesità o la
perdita di peso si va a guardare per
esempio prevotella e o bacterium biforme
per il senso di sazietà si vanno a
guardare diversi indici anche a kermia
che abbiamo nominato prima è un genere
importante per quanto riguarda il
controllo del peso abbiamo una serie
molto lunga di Indici a cui attingere Ma
i singoli batteri non bastano Ecco
perché analizziamo il microbiota nella
sua totalità guardando al microbiota
come ha un ecosistema diciamo sempre che
l'intestino è il secondo cervello ed è
impressionante poi come molte patologie
che sembrano coinvolgere il cervello si
portano sempre con sé una problematica
intestinale pensiamo appunto all'autismo
pensiamo al Parkinson all'alzheimer
questi pazienti portano sempre con sé
delle problematiche intestinali nel
nostro recente studio fatto con i
colleghi di Southampton Abbiamo appunto
analizzato le firme microbiche di
pazienti con demenza Alzheimer e
Parkinson e ci sono delle firme
microbiche nell'intestino e prestissimo
pubblicheremo questi dati quindi è dura
non vedere questo legame ed è dura non
capire che attraverso l'intestino noi
possiamo andare a migliorare anche la
fisiologia cerebrale
