What's a fecal transplant?

Will Bulsiewicz (1:08)

You take a healthy person's poop and you transfer it into the person who's sick. For example, a patient of mine took an antibiotic which wipes out your gut, which became life-threatening. And so our choices were to remove the colon or give her a fecal transplant, and so I delivered the fecal transplant to her. By the next day, the entire infectious issue got shut down. So this is a great example to show how important our gut microbiome is, because 60% of the weight of your stool is your microbiome.

Steven Bartlett (1:34)

Really?

Will Bulsiewicz (1:35)

Yes, but it's not getting enough attention, and we need to talk about that.

SPEAKER_3 (1:38)

World-renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is back.

Will Bulsiewicz (1:42)

This time, he's sharing brand new information regarding the gut microbiome.

Steven Bartlett (1:46)

And how poo might actually be the key to your health. 60% of people that listen are currently struggling with some kind of gut problem.

Will Bulsiewicz (1:53)

And it manifests in these subtle ways, like bloating, increased fatigue, difficulty concentrating, you don't sleep well at night, skin issues. So it flies under the radar, but ultimately leads to other health-related problems afterwards.

Steven Bartlett (2:05)

So I've got so many questions. What's the cause of bloating?

Will Bulsiewicz (2:08)

So constipation is the number one cause, but people who are bloated, please don't sip through straws, drink carbonated drinks, chew on gum, because you just make it worse.

Steven Bartlett (2:17)

Next, are there decisions that you make as a parent that will have a lasting impact on their kid's gut function?

Will Bulsiewicz (2:22)

Yeah, by three years of age, you are basically fully adult-sized in terms of your microbiome. But antibiotics, bottle feeding, and birth by cesarean section are associated with an impact on the microbiome, such as an increased risk of allergic, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases. And I'll explain why.

Steven Bartlett (2:37)

And then, can I repair the gut?

Will Bulsiewicz (2:39)

Yeah, 100%. And every three to five days, you build a new gut barrier. And so I've identified four things missing in our diet, as well as a daily routine that can optimize our microbiome. And when you do these, you will thrive, and you will live longer, and you will have less disease. And I'm going to take you through all of these steps right now.

Steven Bartlett (2:56)
