WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.460 And now we'll jump into, 2 00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:02.980 gut permeability. 3 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.700 And, you know, what's really strange today I'd like to share, 4 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.139 I feel nervous today. I I typically 5 00:00:12.735 --> 00:00:14.195 don't feel that nervous 6 00:00:15.375 --> 00:00:17.315 because I've been doing this for a long time. 7 00:00:18.735 --> 00:00:23.795 But, yeah, today, I feel a sense of anxiousness and nervousness, and, 8 00:00:24.494 --> 00:00:25.715 the sun is setting, 9 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.120 and I really wanna put on my blue blockers, but that would be weird. And I don't mean weird. 10 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.140 I just want you all to be able to see my eyes. 11 00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:36.780 But, anyways, I wanted to give voice to that that the human in me 12 00:00:37.400 --> 00:00:39.580 is feeling some interesting feelings today. 13 00:00:41.305 --> 00:00:41.805 Okay. 14 00:00:43.065 --> 00:00:46.925 So we talked about gut permeability and we what we talked about, yep, last week, 15 00:00:47.785 --> 00:00:48.285 and 16 00:00:48.665 --> 00:00:49.565 looking at 17 00:00:49.945 --> 00:00:53.725 oral tolerance of the immune system, which is really important, 18 00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:57.390 and looking at how the body 19 00:00:58.170 --> 00:00:58.670 might 20 00:00:59.050 --> 00:00:59.550 react 21 00:01:00.010 --> 00:01:00.510 to 22 00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:04.270 the gray caps wet right now. 23 00:01:05.690 --> 00:01:08.430 How the body might react to different proteins, 24 00:01:09.935 --> 00:01:11.395 that may cause intolerances 25 00:01:12.095 --> 00:01:14.835 and can cause global issues in the body. 26 00:01:16.255 --> 00:01:20.435 And something that we chatted a little bit about last week was gut hyperpermeability 27 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:23.660 and or, 28 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.860 as many of you will know, the name of leaky gut. 29 00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:27.820 And 30 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:28.620 for 31 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.180 argument's sake, 32 00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:34.780 your GI tract or the gastrointestinal 33 00:01:35.080 --> 00:01:37.100 tract is always leaky. 34 00:01:38.985 --> 00:01:39.885 It's designed 35 00:01:40.585 --> 00:01:42.445 to allow things into 36 00:01:43.145 --> 00:01:44.205 the portal vein, 37 00:01:45.385 --> 00:01:46.365 to take that, 38 00:01:47.385 --> 00:01:48.605 food and processed 39 00:01:49.625 --> 00:01:50.125 food 40 00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:54.760 and nutrients, and to take all that to the portal vein and move that to the liver, 41 00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:58.680 for the liver to process it and move it on to general circulation 42 00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:03.800 to feed and heal the entire body, every cell in your body. 43 00:02:05.845 --> 00:02:08.025 So the GI tract is leaky. 44 00:02:08.565 --> 00:02:11.625 I just wanna be clear about that. When we're talking about 45 00:02:12.645 --> 00:02:15.385 the issue here, we're talking about gut hyperpermeability. 46 00:02:16.165 --> 00:02:16.665 So 47 00:02:17.365 --> 00:02:19.225 leaky also means permeable, 48 00:02:19.940 --> 00:02:21.640 and what we're saying here is 49 00:02:22.100 --> 00:02:23.240 hyper permeability. 50 00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:25.640 We want to be, 51 00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:31.240 aware of what that means and how does that occur so that we can start to address it 52 00:02:31.940 --> 00:02:32.440 and, 53 00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:34.280 to heal it. Because 54 00:02:35.225 --> 00:02:37.485 when we look at the work of Eliseo Fasano, 55 00:02:38.345 --> 00:02:43.165 there are three routes as far as we're aware today around autoimmune disease, 56 00:02:44.025 --> 00:02:45.565 leaky gut or gut hyperformability 57 00:02:46.025 --> 00:02:46.845 being one, 58 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.700 environmental triggers, which we spoke about last week, 59 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.060 which we'll continue to speak about today and moving forward, 60 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:56.060 and 61 00:02:56.760 --> 00:02:58.380 underlying genetic predisposition 62 00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:00.140 as to where 63 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.540 that will show up in your body. 64 00:03:04.475 --> 00:03:06.655 When you look at underlying genetic predisposition, 65 00:03:07.995 --> 00:03:08.975 simply said, 66 00:03:10.955 --> 00:03:11.935 look at families. 67 00:03:13.995 --> 00:03:14.895 Many families 68 00:03:15.275 --> 00:03:17.855 who have similar underlying genetics, 69 00:03:19.830 --> 00:03:20.970 end up expressing 70 00:03:22.230 --> 00:03:23.450 the same disease, 71 00:03:24.630 --> 00:03:26.810 maybe even the same autoimmune diseases. 72 00:03:27.350 --> 00:03:31.370 And when you look at around when you look at the current research around autoimmune diseases, 73 00:03:32.025 --> 00:03:32.925 many diseases 74 00:03:33.385 --> 00:03:36.285 are now being housed under the umbrella of autoimmunity. 75 00:03:38.985 --> 00:03:43.965 In the next twenty years or so, we might be housing almost all diseases 76 00:03:44.350 --> 00:03:46.610 under the heading of autoimmunity, 77 00:03:46.990 --> 00:03:49.250 which is super fascinating to consider. 78 00:03:52.190 --> 00:03:52.690 And 79 00:03:53.470 --> 00:03:56.930 we're looking at these underlying genetics, and let's just say that a family 80 00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:00.665 shows up with the same disease because of their underlying genetics, 81 00:04:01.685 --> 00:04:02.745 and typically, 82 00:04:04.565 --> 00:04:06.504 families, as a general theme, 83 00:04:07.205 --> 00:04:10.345 tend to expose themselves to similar environments. 84 00:04:11.690 --> 00:04:15.150 And that's an even bigger topic, which is the exposome, 85 00:04:15.450 --> 00:04:17.950 e x p o s o m e. 86 00:04:19.610 --> 00:04:20.910 And that word means 87 00:04:21.930 --> 00:04:26.270 all non genetic influences from the moment of conception 88 00:04:28.225 --> 00:04:29.925 to this moment in your life. 89 00:04:30.945 --> 00:04:33.765 And so then we look at that and we think, what the hell? Okay. 90 00:04:34.625 --> 00:04:37.685 So all of our our environments that we've been exposed to, 91 00:04:37.985 --> 00:04:39.605 from the moment we are conceived 92 00:04:40.750 --> 00:04:42.930 to this moment in my life, Jitor. 93 00:04:43.630 --> 00:04:46.370 I'm 42, so that's a lot of exposure. 94 00:04:47.630 --> 00:04:54.449 And we look at these underlying genetic expressions that run through families and that families typically 95 00:04:55.155 --> 00:04:58.055 house themselves within very similar environments. 96 00:04:59.635 --> 00:05:01.735 And then even the children 97 00:05:02.755 --> 00:05:05.815 that grow up in that environment and then leave home 98 00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:09.520 often continue to proliferate 99 00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:13.280 similar values, which means similar environments, 100 00:05:13.740 --> 00:05:14.479 which means 101 00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:15.759 similar 102 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:16.639 underlying 103 00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:18.080 disease expressions. 104 00:05:19.755 --> 00:05:20.255 What? 105 00:05:21.354 --> 00:05:22.415 So that's some of 106 00:05:23.195 --> 00:05:24.495 the mental and emotional 107 00:05:25.275 --> 00:05:31.455 threads that we'll keep diving into because that's my real wheelhouse, and I can love talking about that all day long. 108 00:05:33.035 --> 00:05:35.055 Most of my friends say I never shut up. 109 00:05:38.390 --> 00:05:38.890 Okay. 110 00:05:39.270 --> 00:05:41.370 So back to the topic at hand. 111 00:05:43.030 --> 00:05:44.890 Those are all important kind of, 112 00:05:45.990 --> 00:05:48.810 wide view lenses, which we'll continue to dive into. 113 00:05:50.125 --> 00:05:53.505 And part of my purpose in sharing this is that often 114 00:05:54.765 --> 00:05:58.865 these topics are shared, but they're not looked at from the perspective of 115 00:05:59.245 --> 00:06:01.505 how do all of these dots connect. 116 00:06:02.900 --> 00:06:06.200 They're often shared from the perspective of singular items, 117 00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:11.000 mechanistic ways of looking at the human being. 118 00:06:11.940 --> 00:06:12.440 And 119 00:06:13.380 --> 00:06:18.040 the human being, simply said, isn't a car. It's much more complex than that. 120 00:06:19.355 --> 00:06:25.295 So what I think is my purpose in part here in the Explorers Clubhouse is to help you all 121 00:06:26.155 --> 00:06:28.095 start to connect dots 122 00:06:29.355 --> 00:06:32.335 around how does this all start to fit together 123 00:06:33.570 --> 00:06:34.870 so that you become 124 00:06:36.450 --> 00:06:40.070 your own guidance system, your own guru, 125 00:06:41.650 --> 00:06:42.150 and 126 00:06:42.690 --> 00:06:47.990 so that you can start to understand this globally, because that might actually be the most important understanding. 127 00:06:48.925 --> 00:06:52.465 Understanding things at the very basic level typically isn't that 128 00:06:53.324 --> 00:06:53.824 profound, 129 00:06:54.525 --> 00:06:59.104 although our egos think it is. I'm gonna turn my lights on so I don't sleep tonight. 130 00:07:02.285 --> 00:07:03.264 One of my mentors 131 00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:06.509 Austin says, and I really appreciate this. 132 00:07:07.289 --> 00:07:08.590 He says, an expert 133 00:07:09.850 --> 00:07:13.389 an expert knows more and more about less and less 134 00:07:14.090 --> 00:07:17.550 until he or she knows everything about nothing at all. 135 00:07:18.445 --> 00:07:18.945 Well 136 00:07:19.485 --> 00:07:19.985 said. 137 00:07:20.765 --> 00:07:21.905 So we're not here 138 00:07:23.885 --> 00:07:27.265 to be an expert in singular things, we want to, 139 00:07:28.205 --> 00:07:34.520 try to tie all this together so we can have a grand global understanding of how this all works 140 00:07:34.900 --> 00:07:35.720 in conjunction, 141 00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:37.720 not in these 142 00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:41.080 separate fingers, but how does this all tie together 143 00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:42.440 neatly? 144 00:07:44.900 --> 00:07:45.400 Okay. 145 00:07:46.665 --> 00:07:49.085 So that's my spiel on that. So 146 00:07:50.025 --> 00:07:51.725 quick question for you all to consider. 147 00:07:54.185 --> 00:07:55.565 Where do you think digestion 148 00:07:55.865 --> 00:07:56.365 starts? 149 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.780 And many people in my experience would say, well, 150 00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:03.259 digestion starts in the mouth tutorial. 151 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.660 And I'd say, yeah, that's a perspective. 152 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.020 What if we said that digestion 153 00:08:10.599 --> 00:08:11.580 actually starts 154 00:08:13.395 --> 00:08:15.255 in your brain and in your eyes. 155 00:08:17.075 --> 00:08:20.455 What if we started to look at digestion from the perspective of, 156 00:08:21.555 --> 00:08:22.695 are you reactively 157 00:08:23.795 --> 00:08:25.255 choosing what you eat, 158 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.260 or are you responsibly 159 00:08:28.880 --> 00:08:33.539 choosing what you eat? Are you going through habitual patterns around your food? 160 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.539 Are you blindly 161 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.659 reaching for foods out of habit 162 00:08:39.105 --> 00:08:42.885 and not being conscious as to what you're reaching for? 163 00:08:44.305 --> 00:08:49.205 And so when we look at digestion and we think look at that choice, are we doing it reactively or responsibly? 164 00:08:51.185 --> 00:08:53.765 Interesting enough, what's important about that is, 165 00:08:54.670 --> 00:08:55.970 well, we have choice. 166 00:08:57.390 --> 00:08:58.530 We have choice 167 00:08:59.310 --> 00:09:01.330 in terms of how we're feeding ourselves. 168 00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:02.210 And 169 00:09:02.910 --> 00:09:03.970 with that choice 170 00:09:04.670 --> 00:09:08.050 can come more stress on the body or less stress on the body. 171 00:09:09.485 --> 00:09:13.265 And so we choose a food, we start to eat it, and interestingly, 172 00:09:13.645 --> 00:09:15.105 your body starts to produce 173 00:09:15.565 --> 00:09:16.065 saliva, 174 00:09:17.645 --> 00:09:18.145 and 175 00:09:19.965 --> 00:09:22.225 saliva starts to help the digestive process. 176 00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:25.480 There's an enzyme in saliva called amylase. 177 00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:27.000 And, 178 00:09:27.380 --> 00:09:27.880 interestingly, 179 00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:29.800 at a genetic level, 180 00:09:30.900 --> 00:09:34.040 we all produce different amounts of amylase, 181 00:09:34.420 --> 00:09:37.960 which I find really interesting because what that means is 182 00:09:38.714 --> 00:09:40.894 it's a sign that we all 183 00:09:41.274 --> 00:09:41.774 tolerate 184 00:09:42.235 --> 00:09:42.735 carbohydrates 185 00:09:43.355 --> 00:09:44.334 at a different level. 186 00:09:46.074 --> 00:09:49.055 So many of us who produce much more amylase 187 00:09:49.435 --> 00:09:52.175 typically will do much better on higher amounts of carbohydrate, 188 00:09:53.090 --> 00:09:58.630 and those of us who don't produce as much amylase typically might do not as well in carbohydrate. 189 00:10:00.290 --> 00:10:02.150 So cool. We start to chew our food, 190 00:10:02.610 --> 00:10:03.110 amylase, 191 00:10:03.890 --> 00:10:05.110 carbohydrate tolerance, 192 00:10:05.410 --> 00:10:06.470 underlying genetics. 193 00:10:07.625 --> 00:10:08.125 Cool. 194 00:10:09.145 --> 00:10:10.925 Okay. So we're chewing our food, 195 00:10:11.545 --> 00:10:14.925 maybe we're reactively choosing, maybe we're responsibly choosing, 196 00:10:16.985 --> 00:10:17.964 then we swallow, 197 00:10:18.745 --> 00:10:20.845 goes down the esophagus into the stomach, 198 00:10:21.530 --> 00:10:23.630 and the stomach starts to do its job. 199 00:10:24.330 --> 00:10:24.830 Now 200 00:10:25.930 --> 00:10:32.510 I'm trying to give a background to this digestive process so that you can understand what's happening in the GI tract and why it's so important. 201 00:10:34.265 --> 00:10:37.645 Okay. So you've mixed your saliva around your food. 202 00:10:37.705 --> 00:10:41.245 Hopefully, you've chewed enough to turn that into liquid. 203 00:10:42.985 --> 00:10:44.845 There's a great reason for 204 00:10:45.625 --> 00:10:48.445 many digestive issues as a side note and 205 00:10:49.089 --> 00:10:52.070 as a side note to another cause of gut hyperpermeability, 206 00:10:54.850 --> 00:10:56.390 not chewing your food 207 00:10:57.570 --> 00:10:59.350 is stressful to the body. 208 00:10:59.730 --> 00:11:01.910 The body has to do a lot more work 209 00:11:02.465 --> 00:11:04.485 when you're not chewing it enough. 210 00:11:05.425 --> 00:11:10.805 So you have potential for even more undigested food particles. And when you look at saliva, 211 00:11:12.545 --> 00:11:16.245 amylase starts to help with the breakdown of carbohydrate in your mouth. 212 00:11:16.810 --> 00:11:22.590 What also starts to happen is that in your saliva, you actually have parts of your immune system, 213 00:11:23.290 --> 00:11:26.430 and your immune system starts to tag intruders. 214 00:11:27.290 --> 00:11:27.790 Interesting. 215 00:11:28.490 --> 00:11:31.150 And also starts to tag non intruders. 216 00:11:31.824 --> 00:11:34.165 This is all happening just from chewing your food. 217 00:11:36.305 --> 00:11:39.125 So start to imagine just here, we're not even 218 00:11:39.505 --> 00:11:45.900 we're not even deep into the gut yet, and I have no idea what ammo lace means. Oh, ammo lace. 219 00:11:48.380 --> 00:11:51.920 Oh, man. I'm having fun here in Denmark. Amylase, a m 220 00:11:52.380 --> 00:11:54.960 a l a y s e, I believe. 221 00:11:55.660 --> 00:11:57.200 Amylase. It's an enzyme. 222 00:11:58.475 --> 00:12:03.855 Okay. So we're not even to the gut yet. Right? We're not even to the GI tract yet. And already, 223 00:12:05.355 --> 00:12:09.134 maybe you're seeing a global amount of potential 224 00:12:10.235 --> 00:12:11.535 challenges with digestion 225 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:13.220 and gut hyperpermeability 226 00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:16.580 before we even get to the gut. 227 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.660 So if we just stop there 228 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.899 and we start to look at, okay, 229 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.700 are we reactively choosing our food 230 00:12:26.075 --> 00:12:29.375 or responsibly choosing our food? Is that habitual? 231 00:12:30.315 --> 00:12:31.375 Is that conscious? 232 00:12:32.475 --> 00:12:33.535 Are we habitually 233 00:12:33.915 --> 00:12:34.415 eating 234 00:12:34.875 --> 00:12:36.735 foods that we grew up with? 235 00:12:37.835 --> 00:12:39.775 Are we habitually eating foods 236 00:12:40.209 --> 00:12:42.230 from our family's value set? 237 00:12:43.410 --> 00:12:49.110 Are we habitually eating things and putting ourselves in environments that we've learned from our families of origin 238 00:12:49.490 --> 00:12:52.310 that all have similar underlying genetics as us, 239 00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:54.790 and some of them are getting disease processes, 240 00:12:55.524 --> 00:12:57.305 and yet we're still choosing 241 00:12:58.245 --> 00:13:04.505 to subscribe to their values and their way of living because parts of us are afraid to represent and be ourselves. 242 00:13:05.925 --> 00:13:07.705 Oh, that's getting deep quick. 243 00:13:09.205 --> 00:13:09.705 So 244 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:13.120 you start to then look at 245 00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:16.400 what is your eating environment? 246 00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:19.360 That's really interesting. 247 00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:23.040 How many of you eat in the car? 248 00:13:24.855 --> 00:13:28.475 How many of you eat and watch things like The Walking Dead? 249 00:13:29.895 --> 00:13:30.955 How many of you 250 00:13:31.495 --> 00:13:33.035 eat and read the news? 251 00:13:34.774 --> 00:13:38.875 How many of you eat and have arguments with your significant other? 252 00:13:39.830 --> 00:13:43.210 How many of you eat and have arguments at the dinner table with your family? 253 00:13:44.710 --> 00:13:46.250 Side note to all that, 254 00:13:46.870 --> 00:13:52.170 your eating environment is exquisitely important to the digestive process because 255 00:13:54.915 --> 00:13:57.415 your eating and digestive processes 256 00:13:57.875 --> 00:14:01.495 require you to be slightly more skewed toward the parasympathetic 257 00:14:01.875 --> 00:14:02.375 system, 258 00:14:03.075 --> 00:14:03.894 the rest 259 00:14:04.195 --> 00:14:05.495 and digest system. 260 00:14:06.115 --> 00:14:09.630 So let's think about that for a second and or feel about it. 261 00:14:10.590 --> 00:14:13.410 Well, if I'm driving a car at 262 00:14:13.870 --> 00:14:14.850 60 kilometers 263 00:14:15.150 --> 00:14:17.170 or 60 miles per hour, 264 00:14:17.870 --> 00:14:19.250 and I'm eating food, 265 00:14:20.510 --> 00:14:21.010 perceptually, 266 00:14:21.965 --> 00:14:25.985 I don't feel a sense of stress because I'm so used to driving and eating. 267 00:14:27.485 --> 00:14:28.785 But at a physiological 268 00:14:29.245 --> 00:14:31.505 level, what's really interesting is that 269 00:14:32.125 --> 00:14:34.545 your physiology is tuned up 270 00:14:35.090 --> 00:14:36.230 and turned on, 271 00:14:37.010 --> 00:14:39.030 and it's ready for an accident. 272 00:14:40.610 --> 00:14:42.150 What happens to your body 273 00:14:43.170 --> 00:14:44.310 when you're in 274 00:14:44.610 --> 00:14:47.350 potentially getting ready for flight or flight mode? 275 00:14:47.685 --> 00:14:48.985 Whether it's in a car, 276 00:14:49.845 --> 00:14:56.665 or you're having an argument at the dinner table with significant other or family member, or you're watching The Walking Dead while you're eating, 277 00:14:57.685 --> 00:14:58.185 or, 278 00:14:58.565 --> 00:15:01.065 all kinds of other things that cause stress for us. 279 00:15:02.490 --> 00:15:04.430 Well, when your body's in preparation 280 00:15:04.890 --> 00:15:06.030 for potential 281 00:15:06.730 --> 00:15:07.230 issue, 282 00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:10.510 what does your immune system have to do? 283 00:15:11.370 --> 00:15:13.630 Your immune system tunes up, 284 00:15:14.405 --> 00:15:15.065 It brightens. 285 00:15:15.765 --> 00:15:18.425 It brightens up because it's preparing 286 00:15:19.205 --> 00:15:20.185 for the potential 287 00:15:21.205 --> 00:15:22.665 of flight or fight. 288 00:15:23.925 --> 00:15:30.230 So when you're eating foods and not chewing enough and not moving around your saliva and your amylase 289 00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:34.790 and you're in environments that aren't conducive to the parasympathetic 290 00:15:35.170 --> 00:15:36.870 system, rest and digest, 291 00:15:38.690 --> 00:15:43.030 you're eating foods in an environment in which your immune system is hyper tuned, 292 00:15:44.215 --> 00:15:49.915 then you eat those foods and your immune system is going to have a higher propensity 293 00:15:51.175 --> 00:15:52.315 to be reactive, 294 00:15:55.910 --> 00:16:00.970 to be reactive to the foods that you're eating and the protein structures 295 00:16:01.990 --> 00:16:05.850 that are coming into your body. Back to last week's talk, remember, all proteins, 296 00:16:06.389 --> 00:16:08.009 at least from this body perspective, 297 00:16:08.945 --> 00:16:10.965 are antigens. They're they're proteins. 298 00:16:12.705 --> 00:16:13.205 So 299 00:16:13.665 --> 00:16:17.365 you're eating in an environment that isn't conducive to the rest and digest parasympathetic 300 00:16:18.145 --> 00:16:18.645 system. 301 00:16:19.345 --> 00:16:21.685 Your sympathetic system is tuned up 302 00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.360 and, 303 00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:28.640 ah, good, now you're eating, and now you have a high propensity to cause, 304 00:16:29.900 --> 00:16:31.840 reaction with those food antigens, 305 00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:33.680 which potentially 306 00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:39.305 leads to more global issues down the road and or definitely 307 00:16:39.764 --> 00:16:40.264 leads 308 00:16:40.884 --> 00:16:42.904 to more inflammatory processes 309 00:16:43.685 --> 00:16:46.505 happening in your GI tract and in your stomach. 310 00:16:48.570 --> 00:16:50.910 That's I mean, that if we just started there, 311 00:16:51.610 --> 00:16:53.550 if we just started with 312 00:16:55.530 --> 00:16:56.430 eating food 313 00:16:56.730 --> 00:16:58.350 in a calm peaceful environment, 314 00:17:00.170 --> 00:17:00.670 having 315 00:17:01.130 --> 00:17:01.630 light, 316 00:17:02.605 --> 00:17:04.304 cool, calm conversation, 317 00:17:05.165 --> 00:17:06.305 or none at all, 318 00:17:07.964 --> 00:17:10.065 breathing, connecting to your food, 319 00:17:10.445 --> 00:17:11.345 sitting down, 320 00:17:11.645 --> 00:17:13.905 enjoying it, taking your time with it, 321 00:17:15.110 --> 00:17:16.730 chewing it till it's liquid, 322 00:17:17.190 --> 00:17:22.730 not drowning it with tons of water and soda and drinks and all that, so you can't digest, 323 00:17:24.070 --> 00:17:25.050 or that you're, 324 00:17:25.990 --> 00:17:27.130 reducing your 325 00:17:28.115 --> 00:17:30.695 HCL, you're diluting your HCL. 326 00:17:32.355 --> 00:17:34.134 If we just started with that, 327 00:17:35.794 --> 00:17:36.695 eating environment, 328 00:17:37.154 --> 00:17:38.294 chewing your food, 329 00:17:39.554 --> 00:17:40.774 and taking your time 330 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.380 to slow down and eat.

We chew it, move it down the esophagus, down to the stomach. 341 00:18:08.295 --> 00:18:09.915 Now here's a bigger issue, 342 00:18:11.300 --> 00:18:12.600 to to think about. 343 00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:17.720 Well, in the stomach, your stomach produces hydrochloric acid. 344 00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:22.040 Hydrochloric acid is there to break down proteins. 345 00:18:23.315 --> 00:18:24.775 It's also there to 346 00:18:25.635 --> 00:18:26.615 protect you. 347 00:18:27.555 --> 00:18:31.415 It's there to protect you from parasites, fungus, etcetera, 348 00:18:32.035 --> 00:18:34.215 that might be present in your food. 349 00:18:34.915 --> 00:18:35.735 Side note, 350 00:18:36.115 --> 00:18:38.295 if you're not chewing your food enough 351 00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.780 and you're leaving your your those little parasites potentially 352 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:44.460 or fungus potentially 353 00:18:45.320 --> 00:18:45.820 unexposed, 354 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.500 HCl is gonna have a hard time getting to them. 355 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:55.715 And then they get into to the GI tract and start to create homes in us, which is super cool. 356 00:18:56.975 --> 00:18:57.475 Okay. 357 00:19:00.095 --> 00:19:02.675 So HCL is supposed to be released. Now 358 00:19:04.590 --> 00:19:06.850 in most of our lives today, 359 00:19:07.150 --> 00:19:07.970 because of 360 00:19:08.350 --> 00:19:08.850 lights, 361 00:19:09.470 --> 00:19:11.330 artificial lighting, not wearing 362 00:19:13.310 --> 00:19:14.370 not wearing your 363 00:19:14.670 --> 00:19:15.490 blue blockers 364 00:19:16.350 --> 00:19:17.090 at night, 365 00:19:17.485 --> 00:19:18.865 which this will be fun. 366 00:19:20.845 --> 00:19:22.465 Stress, overall stress, 367 00:19:24.365 --> 00:19:24.865 and, 368 00:19:25.644 --> 00:19:26.144 Prilosec, 369 00:19:27.005 --> 00:19:28.065 anti acids, 370 00:19:29.085 --> 00:19:31.424 as well as vegan and vegetarian diets, 371 00:19:33.330 --> 00:19:38.230 all and age all lower how much HCL your stomach produces. 372 00:19:40.370 --> 00:19:45.030 Well, that's really interesting. We just take that idea of stress. Well, stress as a theme, 373 00:19:46.285 --> 00:19:48.785 anything that your body doesn't have the onboard, 374 00:19:50.365 --> 00:19:51.985 energy to deal with 375 00:19:52.685 --> 00:19:55.745 is considered a stress, it pushes you over the edge. 376 00:19:56.925 --> 00:20:01.745 So most of us are having high levels of stress just based on how we live today, 377 00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:08.600 which means that most of us are not producing enough HCl or stomach acid, 378 00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:13.880 which means that most of us are having a hard time digesting proteins 379 00:20:15.705 --> 00:20:18.525 and protecting ourselves from fungus and parasites. 380 00:20:20.025 --> 00:20:21.725 Now how does this tie into gut permeability? 381 00:20:21.865 --> 00:20:27.005 Well, if you're having a hard time digesting your proteins and you're leaving yourself open to 382 00:20:27.305 --> 00:20:27.805 potentially 383 00:20:28.330 --> 00:20:29.390 fungus and parasites, 384 00:20:30.090 --> 00:20:33.930 well, that's a stressor to the body. The body has to manage that in some way. 385 00:20:33.930 --> 00:20:36.270 That's another thing that the body has to manage 386 00:20:36.810 --> 00:20:42.110 in an environment or environments in which we all live that the body is trying to manage so many other things. 387 00:20:42.485 --> 00:20:43.385 How are you sleeping? 388 00:20:43.925 --> 00:20:46.665 What's your food source? Is your water clean? 389 00:20:46.965 --> 00:20:50.005 How much movement are you doing? Are you doing too much? Are you doing too little? 390 00:20:50.005 --> 00:20:51.785 What's your mental emotional state? 391 00:20:52.485 --> 00:20:55.065 How much toxins are off gassing in your environment? 392 00:20:55.490 --> 00:20:57.830 Do you have a air filter, do you have a water filter, 393 00:20:58.210 --> 00:21:00.870 are you grounding, are you playful, are you happy, 394 00:21:01.330 --> 00:21:02.530 are you enjoying your life? 395 00:21:02.530 --> 00:21:07.110 So all of these things start to pour into the system and the body doesn't differentiate that stress. 396 00:21:08.995 --> 00:21:11.095 So we start to produce less HCL. 397 00:21:12.195 --> 00:21:18.375 Now outside of all those jobs I've already given voice to that HCL is supposed to do in your body, what's really fascinating is that 398 00:21:18.755 --> 00:21:19.255 HCL 399 00:21:19.795 --> 00:21:21.575 also is supposed to stimulate 400 00:21:21.875 --> 00:21:22.775 your pancreas. 401 00:21:26.170 --> 00:21:26.670 HCL 402 00:21:27.370 --> 00:21:29.870 is also supposed to stimulate your pancreas, 403 00:21:31.290 --> 00:21:35.870 and it stimulates your pancreas. Once your stomach levels of acid 404 00:21:36.250 --> 00:21:37.790 drop to a certain pH, 405 00:21:38.715 --> 00:21:40.575 it signals the pancreas 406 00:21:41.035 --> 00:21:45.535 so that the pancreas release releases more digestive enzymes 407 00:21:46.235 --> 00:21:49.615 to help you break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. 408 00:21:52.090 --> 00:21:52.590 Cool. 409 00:21:53.770 --> 00:21:57.150 So many of us are not producing enough HCL. Side note, 410 00:21:58.330 --> 00:21:59.790 many vegans and vegetarians, 411 00:22:00.809 --> 00:22:03.710 nothing against vegans and vegetarians, I love you too. 412 00:22:04.755 --> 00:22:06.135 Many vegans and vegetarians 413 00:22:07.155 --> 00:22:12.615 say they don't feel good eating meat, and that's why they don't eat it, or they say they don't digest meat. 414 00:22:14.275 --> 00:22:22.350 Many people don't do well on meat because they don't have enough HCL and they don't have the nutrients on board to produce HCL, 415 00:22:23.130 --> 00:22:24.590 so they don't eat meat 416 00:22:25.450 --> 00:22:28.350 because when they do, the meat tends to rot. 417 00:22:29.770 --> 00:22:31.485 Side note to that. Okay. 418 00:22:32.424 --> 00:22:34.205 So we're not producing enough HCL, 419 00:22:35.385 --> 00:22:38.044 and then we're also not stimulating 420 00:22:38.985 --> 00:22:40.605 enzyme release from the pancreas. 421 00:22:42.585 --> 00:22:46.605 Well, these things are all exquisitely important to the digestive process 422 00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:49.780 And from an immune system perspective, 423 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.300 these processes 424 00:22:53.760 --> 00:22:55.460 are all extremely important 425 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.820 to properly 426 00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:57.700 preparing 427 00:22:58.640 --> 00:22:59.140 food 428 00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:01.860 for further digestion and assimilation. 429 00:23:03.015 --> 00:23:05.515 Digestion doesn't end in the stomach, and 430 00:23:07.015 --> 00:23:10.395 all of this is designed to reduce 431 00:23:11.015 --> 00:23:13.115 the immune system in part 432 00:23:13.495 --> 00:23:16.475 need to react to the foods that we're eating. 433 00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:20.180 So if you're not producing enough HCl, 434 00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:23.460 you're definitely not producing enough enzymes. 435 00:23:24.800 --> 00:23:29.780 And if you're not producing enough HCl, then that means you're not digesting and assimilating your food, 436 00:23:30.154 --> 00:23:35.375 and those enzymes aren't there to help further break down protein, carbohydrates, and fats. 437 00:23:36.794 --> 00:23:37.995 So what does that mean? 438 00:23:37.995 --> 00:23:42.654 Well, interestingly enough, what it means is once that food gets into the GI tract, 439 00:23:43.210 --> 00:23:45.790 where most of the absorption of this takes place, 440 00:23:48.170 --> 00:23:53.310 it means that many of us are not digesting and assimilating our foods. 441 00:23:55.050 --> 00:23:57.710 What happens when we don't assimilate our foods? 442 00:23:58.945 --> 00:23:59.445 Well, 443 00:24:00.865 --> 00:24:02.325 where would you all guess 444 00:24:04.545 --> 00:24:07.685 thanks, Aileen. Where would you all guess that 445 00:24:08.465 --> 00:24:09.285 your body 446 00:24:09.905 --> 00:24:12.005 gets its nourishment from? 447 00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:14.760 It's not just the food itself, 448 00:24:15.860 --> 00:24:18.200 it's what's contained within the food. 449 00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:20.600 So you have the macronutrients 450 00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:22.040 and you have the micronutrients. 451 00:24:23.300 --> 00:24:23.800 Okay. 452 00:24:24.260 --> 00:24:30.315 So if you're not producing enough HCl, you're not producing enough enzymes, and you're not able to digest and assimilate your food, 453 00:24:31.575 --> 00:24:33.435 and a lot of the micronutrients 454 00:24:34.295 --> 00:24:35.195 and the macronutrients 455 00:24:35.815 --> 00:24:37.355 are just moving through you, 456 00:24:38.215 --> 00:24:39.915 and you're not getting the 457 00:24:40.630 --> 00:24:42.650 vitamins and minerals on board 458 00:24:43.669 --> 00:24:44.650 into your body 459 00:24:45.590 --> 00:24:46.410 to run 460 00:24:47.350 --> 00:24:48.410 ready for this? 461 00:24:49.590 --> 00:24:51.210 To run your detox pathways, 462 00:24:52.549 --> 00:24:54.090 to run your energy pathways, 463 00:24:55.304 --> 00:24:56.605 to run your neurotransmitter 464 00:24:56.985 --> 00:24:57.485 pathways, 465 00:24:58.345 --> 00:24:59.965 your hormonal pathways, 466 00:25:01.144 --> 00:25:01.965 to run 467 00:25:03.065 --> 00:25:05.565 your ability to even create 468 00:25:05.865 --> 00:25:06.365 endogenous 469 00:25:06.745 --> 00:25:08.445 HDL, that means internally 470 00:25:08.745 --> 00:25:09.245 created. 471 00:25:10.850 --> 00:25:20.230 So when you start to look at that, part of the process of eating food is not just eating it, we need to digest and assimilate it and uptake it into the system 472 00:25:21.170 --> 00:25:23.350 so that the system can then utilize 473 00:25:23.730 --> 00:25:24.870 all of the micronutrients 474 00:25:27.135 --> 00:25:27.715 and macronutrients 475 00:25:28.095 --> 00:25:30.595 to run all of the other systems of the body. 476 00:25:32.255 --> 00:25:34.434 And when that's not happening, 477 00:25:35.375 --> 00:25:39.235 then all systems of the body have to tune down, 478 00:25:40.289 --> 00:25:43.029 because they're not getting what they need. 479 00:25:44.130 --> 00:25:46.070 Now how does that tie back into gut permeability? 480 00:25:46.370 --> 00:25:46.870 Well, 481 00:25:47.250 --> 00:25:47.750 easy. 482 00:25:48.450 --> 00:25:49.269 No HCl, 483 00:25:49.649 --> 00:25:53.830 no enzyme or low HCl, low enzyme, not digesting assimilating food, 484 00:25:54.725 --> 00:25:55.225 reduces 485 00:25:55.765 --> 00:25:58.825 the body's ability to produce HCl and enzyme. 486 00:25:59.605 --> 00:26:02.425 That's stressful to the body, so that ticks up stress. 487 00:26:04.485 --> 00:26:10.690 It has, we have more undigested food particles coming into the system that increases stress. 488 00:26:11.870 --> 00:26:22.770 Our immune system then is more tuned up based on our on the environments that we're eating at, and we have larger chunks of food coming in potentially for the system to be more reactive to. 489 00:26:23.404 --> 00:26:25.345 Okay. So that's three connects. 490 00:26:26.524 --> 00:26:28.304 And fourth connect is 491 00:26:29.085 --> 00:26:29.904 very simple. 492 00:26:31.005 --> 00:26:32.945 Stress is an overarching theme 493 00:26:33.565 --> 00:26:34.784 has been shown 494 00:26:36.044 --> 00:26:37.024 to directly 495 00:26:37.325 --> 00:26:38.465 affect your brain, 496 00:26:39.410 --> 00:26:41.429 to directly affect your gut, 497 00:26:42.450 --> 00:26:47.350 to directly affect the vagus nerve, which speaks from brain to gut. 498 00:26:49.490 --> 00:26:55.325 It's kind of a misnomer to even say that your brain and gut are a separate system or connected. 499 00:26:55.625 --> 00:26:58.445 There's simply one system. There's no separation 500 00:26:59.145 --> 00:27:02.765 from your brain to your gut. You could just imagine that your brain, 501 00:27:03.465 --> 00:27:08.924 in some very strange way, has dripped into your stomach because your brain is down there too. 502 00:27:09.510 --> 00:27:11.610 And when you look at research around the gut, 503 00:27:12.230 --> 00:27:14.090 the gut has more neurotransmitters, 504 00:27:16.710 --> 00:27:17.690 than the brain. 505 00:27:19.350 --> 00:27:20.650 That means you have 506 00:27:21.110 --> 00:27:21.930 two brains, 507 00:27:23.190 --> 00:27:23.690 and 508 00:27:24.725 --> 00:27:28.105 we're unaware at this point which one's really running the show. 509 00:27:28.725 --> 00:27:38.345 In another ten years, we might be having a very interesting conversation that we used to think this is the brain, and now we know that that's the brain, that might actually occur. 510 00:27:40.090 --> 00:27:40.910 Okay. So 511 00:27:41.370 --> 00:27:43.710 you have all this pre stuff going on, 512 00:27:45.049 --> 00:27:47.150 you're not digesting and assimilating your food, 513 00:27:47.530 --> 00:27:49.070 you have high levels of stress, 514 00:27:49.610 --> 00:27:54.855 that's disrupting your gut microbiota or your gut flora, the bacteria that live within you. 515 00:27:57.235 --> 00:28:03.894 And that is disrupting them in a way that when that system is disrupted, especially by 516 00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.860 overall stress, which all everything we've talked about to this point falls under that category, 517 00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:11.740 when that is disrupted, 518 00:28:12.520 --> 00:28:15.020 what's interesting about the gut permeability 519 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.700 or the gut microbiota 520 00:28:18.554 --> 00:28:21.455 is that it is an ecosystem within itself, 521 00:28:22.155 --> 00:28:31.720 and that ecosystem is always changing based on what you're eating, how you're sleeping, how hydrated you are, your mental and emotional stress, how much, 522 00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:34.520 stress you're under in general, and 523 00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:40.680 the bacteria that you have on board is always changing, it's an ecosystem. 524 00:28:41.620 --> 00:28:44.600 And the more stressed you are, interestingly enough, 525 00:28:45.315 --> 00:28:46.455 the more typically 526 00:28:46.835 --> 00:28:47.335 pathogenic 527 00:28:48.115 --> 00:28:49.335 becomes your microbiota. 528 00:28:50.914 --> 00:28:55.015 It becomes skewed toward one that's more pathogenic and less synergistic 529 00:28:55.395 --> 00:28:56.135 with you. 530 00:28:56.835 --> 00:28:58.135 Said in another way, 531 00:28:58.760 --> 00:29:04.860 there's more bad bacteria than there is good bacteria when you're in a very stressed state or chronically stressed state. 532 00:29:06.520 --> 00:29:07.500 When your microbiota 533 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:08.780 starts to become, 534 00:29:10.600 --> 00:29:11.420 out of balance, 535 00:29:12.705 --> 00:29:14.645 that then starts to cause 536 00:29:15.184 --> 00:29:15.924 gut permeability. 537 00:29:17.105 --> 00:29:24.405 That starts to loosen up the GI tract, the tight junctions in the GI tract based on let's see what time it is. 538 00:29:27.184 --> 00:29:27.924 This might, 539 00:29:28.670 --> 00:29:30.850 nope, won't let me turn my phone. 540 00:29:32.110 --> 00:29:34.850 Excuse me, friends. Just wanna check-in with myself. 541 00:29:35.549 --> 00:29:37.650 Man, I've been going forty minutes already. Alright. 542 00:29:39.230 --> 00:29:41.170 Cool. There'll be another part to this. 543 00:29:41.710 --> 00:29:42.210 Okay. 544 00:29:42.670 --> 00:29:43.170 So 545 00:29:45.365 --> 00:29:46.424 that's all happening. 546 00:29:50.804 --> 00:29:57.865 And when we're in this chronically stressed state due to everything that we've already chatted about in the last 547 00:29:58.245 --> 00:29:59.544 forty or so minutes, 548 00:30:00.750 --> 00:30:03.730 What's really fascinating about this is that 549 00:30:04.830 --> 00:30:08.770 the body starts to be in this chronically stressed state or chronically 550 00:30:09.470 --> 00:30:10.610 sympathetic state, 551 00:30:11.710 --> 00:30:13.490 which means that we're constantly 552 00:30:13.790 --> 00:30:15.705 being flooded with cortisol 553 00:30:16.885 --> 00:30:18.024 and stress hormones, 554 00:30:18.404 --> 00:30:18.904 which 555 00:30:19.524 --> 00:30:22.184 in nature wasn't really a bad thing because 556 00:30:23.125 --> 00:30:23.865 in nature, 557 00:30:24.804 --> 00:30:27.684 it wouldn't happen chronically. There'd be bouts of it. 558 00:30:27.684 --> 00:30:31.980 There'd be sparks of it, and then it would cool off, and then a spark, and then cool off. 559 00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:33.120 What's happening today 560 00:30:33.820 --> 00:30:36.000 in our day and age is there's spark, 561 00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:36.880 spark, 562 00:30:37.340 --> 00:30:37.840 spark, 563 00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.720 spark, 564 00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:39.680 spark, spark. 565 00:30:40.745 --> 00:30:46.285 So we're staying in this chronically parasympathetic sorry, chronically sympathetic state. 566 00:30:47.705 --> 00:30:50.045 So that chronic stress rate is insidious, 567 00:30:50.425 --> 00:30:57.330 and that is one of the root issues here, whether we're talking about gluten or its peptides or other food proteins, 568 00:30:58.350 --> 00:30:59.890 is that that chronically 569 00:31:00.190 --> 00:31:03.090 stressed state starts to release what's called inflammatory 570 00:31:03.790 --> 00:31:05.410 cytokines into the bloodstream. 571 00:31:07.895 --> 00:31:08.395 Inflammatory 572 00:31:09.335 --> 00:31:09.835 cytokines 573 00:31:10.215 --> 00:31:11.275 into the bloodstream. 574 00:31:11.735 --> 00:31:13.195 So we're chronically stressed, 575 00:31:14.135 --> 00:31:15.755 and to protect us, 576 00:31:16.055 --> 00:31:20.875 our body starts to release inflammatory cytokines to prepare us for flight or fight, 577 00:31:21.230 --> 00:31:22.370 which it should do. 578 00:31:22.990 --> 00:31:25.170 It's a beautiful system to protect us, 579 00:31:25.790 --> 00:31:28.370 but we're in this chronic state, so we're constantly 580 00:31:28.830 --> 00:31:30.050 releasing out these inflammatory 581 00:31:30.430 --> 00:31:30.930 cytokines 582 00:31:31.310 --> 00:31:32.210 on one end, 583 00:31:33.230 --> 00:31:34.530 and we're constantly 584 00:31:34.910 --> 00:31:36.050 releasing cortisol. 585 00:31:37.904 --> 00:31:38.404 Now, 586 00:31:38.945 --> 00:31:41.924 none of these things are bad or good. I wanna give voice to that, 587 00:31:42.784 --> 00:31:45.365 because they all have light and shadow sides to them. 588 00:31:46.384 --> 00:31:48.085 The interesting thing about cortisol 589 00:31:48.705 --> 00:31:53.470 that not many people dive into is that one of cortisol's main jobs 590 00:31:54.889 --> 00:31:57.070 is to turn off inflammation. 591 00:31:58.490 --> 00:32:01.549 I'll say it again, because this is really important to hear. 592 00:32:02.330 --> 00:32:03.230 One of cortisol's 593 00:32:03.610 --> 00:32:06.429 main jobs is to turn off inflammation. 594 00:32:08.255 --> 00:32:08.755 Okay. 595 00:32:09.855 --> 00:32:12.274 But what happens when you're chronically stressed? 596 00:32:12.495 --> 00:32:15.875 You have inflammatory cytokines running around your body causing inflammation 597 00:32:17.615 --> 00:32:18.115 globally 598 00:32:18.735 --> 00:32:19.875 at low levels, 599 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:25.540 inclusive of causing inflammation in the GI tract, which we'll get into in a moment, maybe. 600 00:32:27.040 --> 00:32:32.820 So we have that global inflammation going on, and we're constantly flooding ourselves with cortisol. 601 00:32:35.605 --> 00:32:38.345 Wow. What's so fascinating about that 602 00:32:39.125 --> 00:32:42.665 is that because we're constantly flooding ourselves with cortisol, 603 00:32:44.325 --> 00:32:46.745 the white blood cells in the body become 604 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:47.700 cortisol 605 00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:48.660 resistant. 606 00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:53.780 You've probably heard of insulin resistance, diabetes, type one point five diabetes, type two diabetes. 607 00:32:55.520 --> 00:32:57.300 When your body becomes 608 00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:58.900 cortisol resistant, 609 00:32:59.775 --> 00:33:00.995 we have 610 00:33:01.455 --> 00:33:03.155 a big problem, my friends, 611 00:33:04.975 --> 00:33:05.475 because 612 00:33:06.175 --> 00:33:07.395 what happens is 613 00:33:07.855 --> 00:33:15.380 you no longer have the tools on board at the level that you need them to turn down the inflammation 614 00:33:15.760 --> 00:33:17.139 process in the body. 615 00:33:19.360 --> 00:33:22.419 That means that you're going to have global 616 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:23.299 inflammatory 617 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:25.139 low grade processes 618 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:25.940 happening 619 00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:27.059 all over. 620 00:33:28.625 --> 00:33:30.164 And why is that an issue? 621 00:33:30.544 --> 00:33:31.044 Well, 622 00:33:31.745 --> 00:33:34.884 one reason that's an issue is if you start to look at 623 00:33:36.065 --> 00:33:36.804 the roots 624 00:33:37.745 --> 00:33:38.725 of all 625 00:33:39.264 --> 00:33:42.565 chronic diseases that we're dealing with today, 626 00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:46.200 One main route 627 00:33:46.580 --> 00:33:50.120 that flies through every single one of those diseases 628 00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:51.400 is inflammation. 629 00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.960 And this goes right back to, 630 00:33:57.185 --> 00:34:00.625 what's the eating environment that you're eating in? Are you chewing your food? 631 00:34:00.625 --> 00:34:02.085 Are you responsibly chewing, 632 00:34:02.545 --> 00:34:04.005 picking your food? Are you reactively 633 00:34:04.305 --> 00:34:05.205 picking your food? 634 00:34:06.305 --> 00:34:08.245 So we start to look at, wow, 635 00:34:11.050 --> 00:34:12.589 what's going on in the body, 636 00:34:12.969 --> 00:34:13.469 and 637 00:34:14.969 --> 00:34:18.670 we're potentially cortisol resistant. We can't get out of inflammation. 638 00:34:18.889 --> 00:34:21.550 There's runaway inflammation going on globally. 639 00:34:23.885 --> 00:34:28.945 Runaway inflammation going on globally that can't be turned off or isn't being turned off enough. 640 00:34:31.645 --> 00:34:36.205 And that heightens the immune system. Right? We're we're trying to protect us. 641 00:34:36.205 --> 00:34:37.425 We're trying to survive. 642 00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:42.099 And that then starts to lead to 643 00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:44.980 permeability in your GI tract 644 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.619 or gut hyperpermeability. 645 00:34:51.105 --> 00:34:54.085 And once we start to have gut hyperpermeability 646 00:34:54.705 --> 00:34:58.485 in the GI tract and that GI tract starts to open up 647 00:34:59.425 --> 00:35:01.525 and we start to get food antigens, 648 00:35:01.825 --> 00:35:02.325 proteins, 649 00:35:02.705 --> 00:35:03.925 environmental toxins, 650 00:35:05.130 --> 00:35:05.630 BPA, 651 00:35:07.930 --> 00:35:09.390 environmental off gassing, 652 00:35:10.410 --> 00:35:11.230 heavy metals, 653 00:35:12.089 --> 00:35:12.589 bacteria, 654 00:35:13.210 --> 00:35:13.710 fungus, 655 00:35:15.529 --> 00:35:16.029 parasites, 656 00:35:16.970 --> 00:35:18.190 your own bacteria 657 00:35:18.569 --> 00:35:19.069 internally 658 00:35:20.035 --> 00:35:20.535 translocating 659 00:35:20.915 --> 00:35:22.135 into general circulation, 660 00:35:23.715 --> 00:35:24.455 well, friends, 661 00:35:25.635 --> 00:35:27.735 then what starts to happen is we have 662 00:35:28.595 --> 00:35:29.575 GI inflammation 663 00:35:30.915 --> 00:35:32.455 leading to more 664 00:35:32.995 --> 00:35:34.055 global inflammation, 665 00:35:36.240 --> 00:35:37.620 leading to a breakdown 666 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:43.460 in our other barriers, there's two other barriers in the body, the lungs being another main barrier, 667 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:45.620 and your brain. 668 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:48.500 Have you heard of the blood brain barrier? 669 00:35:49.395 --> 00:35:49.895 Yikes. 670 00:35:51.395 --> 00:35:56.615 So these inflammatory cytokines start to also break down your blood brain barrier. 671 00:35:58.675 --> 00:36:00.695 Not a good thing, my friends, 672 00:36:01.010 --> 00:36:05.430 because what starts to happen then is you start to get inflammation happening in your brain. 673 00:36:07.329 --> 00:36:10.069 So you have brain inflammation going on, 674 00:36:11.250 --> 00:36:12.630 that's down regulating 675 00:36:12.930 --> 00:36:16.790 the brain's ability to communicate to your gut through the vagus nerve, 676 00:36:18.585 --> 00:36:19.405 that reduces 677 00:36:19.945 --> 00:36:20.445 digestion, 678 00:36:21.065 --> 00:36:21.885 that reduces 679 00:36:22.185 --> 00:36:22.685 assimilation, 680 00:36:23.465 --> 00:36:28.685 that reduces your body's ability to keep the tight junctions in the GI tract tight, 681 00:36:29.465 --> 00:36:31.245 that leads to more 682 00:36:31.780 --> 00:36:32.280 antigens, 683 00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:34.600 parasites, fungus, bacteria 684 00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:37.800 getting across into the portal vein. 685 00:36:38.100 --> 00:36:40.920 That leads to more inflammation in the gut. 686 00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:46.180 That leads to more global inflammation. That leads to more breakdown of the blood brain barrier. 687 00:36:46.180 --> 00:36:47.320 That leads to more 688 00:36:47.975 --> 00:36:49.435 inflammation in your brain, 689 00:36:49.895 --> 00:36:51.675 and it just starts the cycle. 690 00:36:53.735 --> 00:36:56.235 And this is a big part of the issue 691 00:36:56.695 --> 00:37:01.355 when we're looking at foods and protein structures is that when you're in that space, 692 00:37:03.680 --> 00:37:04.180 imagine 693 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:06.820 at a cellular level 694 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:09.700 what your cells 695 00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:11.700 feel like 696 00:37:13.040 --> 00:37:14.660 when they're chronically inflamed, 697 00:37:16.175 --> 00:37:18.275 they can't turn off the inflammation process, 698 00:37:19.935 --> 00:37:20.755 they're scared, 699 00:37:22.015 --> 00:37:22.915 they're hurt, 700 00:37:24.175 --> 00:37:25.875 they're not getting what they need. 701 00:37:27.695 --> 00:37:29.395 At a cellular level, 702 00:37:30.660 --> 00:37:32.520 you have fear and shame, 703 00:37:34.819 --> 00:37:37.319 and you are an accumulation of all these cells. 704 00:37:38.819 --> 00:37:42.040 Not only are you an accumulation of all these cells, you're also an accumulation 705 00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:44.200 of, as far as I'm aware, 706 00:37:45.435 --> 00:37:47.455 100,000,000,000,000 707 00:37:49.515 --> 00:37:50.735 different bacteria. 708 00:37:52.395 --> 00:37:56.335 And current research shows that out of that 100,000,000,000,000 709 00:37:56.635 --> 00:37:57.135 bacteria, 710 00:37:57.675 --> 00:37:59.615 there's about a thousand different species. 711 00:38:01.010 --> 00:38:03.270 Yes.
