Gary Brecka explains how your gut microbiome shifts years before disease symptoms show up. Measuring saliva and stool around stressful events reveals these changes. Athletes have distinct microbial profiles, like cyanobacteria in swimmers, and you can intentionally reshape your microbiome to prevent illness before it starts.
There's cyanobacteria for oxygen. Those are found in, like, Olympic swimmers. That's like how you can identify an Olympic swimmer is by the amount of cyanobacteria in their gut. Really.
I think at the professional athlete level, they're all looking for ways to legally without using a performance enhancement device, but to modify their biology. Anything that they can do to close.
That last gap before and after a stressful event, whether it's like a UFC fight and it's usually saliva, stool, whatever they'll give me. And I measure how those bacteria change and I'll try to correlate the changes I see in the profile to papers that have talked about this bacteria does X, Y and Z. I know that.
There'S enormity of connections between the gut microbiome and everything from autoimmune to human performance to how our mood and emotions work, but never did I understand that we can architect our own microbiome to serve the goals that we have for our health outcomes.
There's a list of of bacteria that I'm confident that I can isolate from a lot of different people. So I present someone with like a menu like, hey, this bacteria does this, this bacteria does that. Like, which ones do you think would be valuable for you?
There's a lot of people listening to this podcast. What benefit could they derive from working with Kraft Microbiome to actually go in and re architect the flora in their gut?
There are changes in the gut that happen years before the symptoms develop. And one of the easiest things you can do is. Ultimate human.
