A short conversation (YouTube video) between Wendie Trubow, MD, MBA, IFMCP and another speaker about factors that disrupt the microbiome and brain health. The speakers list dietary disruptors (sugar, glyphosate, emulsifiers, artificial dyes) and emphasize psychological stress as an under-recognized, insidious microbiome disruptor that needs active management across ages.

So, okay, so we have sugar glyphosate emulsifiers. Is there anything else in that nasty sort of do not fly category?
Not so much in the food. Well, yes. I mean, the artificial dyes, you know, anything that's artificial, we just want to. We want to keep out. But I think one of the most insidious microbiome disruptors that people don't really think about is psychological stress. And so, you know, that is an area that, that I think parents, kids, teenagers, so important to understand how to optimally manage stress and restore nervous system regulation in order to also optimize their microbiomes and their brains.
