#6 Livestream: Your Health Update - with Prof. Dr. Michalsen and Dr. Gros
In the livestream "Your Health Update" on October 6, 2023, with Prof. Andreas Michalsen and Dr. Gros, various important health topics were discussed.
Here are the key statements and questions addressed in the video:
Study: The connection between host and bacteria in the gut influences the energy balance in the body
A study showed that the interaction between the gut microbiome and the human host influences energy balance.
Dietary fiber can bind over 100 calories per day in the intestines and reduce the risk of obesity.
How does the fasting program affect thyroid autoantibodies?
The fasting program can have a soothing effect on autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease.
Thyroid autoantibodies may be affected by fasting, but individual differences must be taken into account.
Fasting for ovarian cancer
When fasting after cancer, the individual's weight situation and physical condition should be taken into account.
What effect does fasting have on hormones?
Fasting can affect hormones, particularly those related to satiety and metabolic regulation.
When should you take Glauber's salt?
Epsom salts can be taken before fasting, preferably in the morning or late afternoon/early evening. However, Epsom salts are not a requirement for a fasting program.
Study: Chewing increases the heat produced in the stomach after eating
A study shows that longer and more intensive chewing increases heat production in the stomach after eating.
Is spermidine destroyed by heat?
Spermidine, a polyamine in wheat germ flour, is sensitive to heat, but in normal diets it is not significantly destroyed by heating.
Does a small meal interrupt autophagy during intermittent fasting and how does it behave in the fasting program?
A small meal can temporarily interrupt autophagy during intermittent fasting, but after a certain period of time it resumes.
The effects on autophagy vary between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting.
Does intermittent fasting affect sex hormones in women?
Intermittent fasting can affect sex hormones, but it is important that the fasting fits your biorhythm.
How does acid bound occur when stopping PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) and how can it be counteracted?
The "acid rebound" can occur when proton pump inhibitors are discontinued. Natural remedies such as healing clay and flaxseed can help.
Will milk in coffee break the fast?
Adding milk and sugar to coffee breaks the fast, so black coffee or plant-based milk with little sugar is recommended.
PPI rebound: Can fasting support rebound? How does gastrin behave during fasting?
Fasting may help with PPI rebound after discontinuation of proton pump inhibitors, but no guarantees are given.
The video covers various health topics and questions in depth, ranging from the impact of the gut microbiome on energy balance to the effects of fasting on hormones, thyroid autoantibodies, and more.
The focus is on the importance of fiber, individual adaptation of the fasting program, and the use of natural methods to alleviate symptoms.
The livestream offers a wealth of information for anyone interested in their health and well-being.
