The hashtag guttalk has over 6 billion
0:03
views on Tik Tok. [music]
0:05
>> Gut health.
0:05
>> Gut health.
0:06
>> Gut health.
0:06
>> Gut health.
0:07
>> Gut health.
0:08
>> And if you think that's a big number,
0:10
how about $60 billion? [music] According
0:13
to Grand View Research, that's the
0:15
market value of the global digestive
0:17
health [music] products market. And it's
0:19
projected to grow to over hundred
0:21
billion dollars by 2033. These massive
0:25
numbers are just a taste of how popular
0:28
the world of gut health [music] has
0:29
become.
0:30
>> Gut health has been such a hot topic all
0:32
over social media for a couple of years
0:33
now. More people talking about gut
0:35
health [music] and the gut microbiome.
0:37
>> Gut health is everywhere right now and
0:40
honestly it should be.
0:42
>> Experts say [music] good gut health can
0:43
not just improve digestion but also
0:45
prolong life, boost immunity and reduce
0:48
inflammation. But with so much
0:50
information out there, including some
0:52
extreme diets and bizarre trends like
0:55
poop maxing and coffee enemas, it can be
0:58
confusing to [music] tell what advice is
1:00
backed by real evidence instead of
1:02
marketing gimmicks and social media
1:03
clickbait. [music] I tracked down some
1:05
experts to help explain what gut health
1:07
really means, [music] how it became such
1:09
a hot topic, and what they could tell us
1:12
about maintaining a glorious gut.
1:16
First off, let's define what gut health
1:19
is. And just to get this out of the way,
1:22
it involves pooping.
1:23
>> Gut health is not just the absence
1:26
[music] of disease, but a state where
1:29
your entire gastrointestinal tract,
1:31
which is your stomach, [music] your
1:33
small bowel, your large bowel, all of
1:35
these organs are [music]
1:37
thriving and healthy such that you're
1:39
preventing disease occurrence in [music]
1:41
future. a lot of focus on the gut
1:44
microbiome. Um, and that's really having
1:46
a robust gut microbiome, which is having
1:48
a lot of different helpful microbes in
1:50
there and feeding them well.
1:52
>> The microbiome in our gut is vital to
1:54
our health. It's a complex network of
1:57
trillions of microorganisms or microbes
2:00
living inside of our digestive system.
2:02
That's trillions with a T. When we talk
2:05
about the gut microbiome, we're talking
2:07
about archa fungi, bacteria that live
2:11
within our gut. They are synergistic
2:13
with us. They help us [music] survive as
2:14
a species, as an individual. And if
2:17
they're happy, we're happy. We evolved
2:19
with these microbes in our gut [music]
2:21
since really since the beginning of
2:23
time. So, they're very important for
2:25
helping us digest what we eat, [music]
2:27
extract calories from what we eat, and
2:29
help maintain a normal gut sort of
2:31
ecosystem. [music]
2:32
They eat mostly what we eat. Um, and
2:35
their waste products have a huge role in
2:37
determining a lot of aspects of our
2:39
health.
2:39
>> Those compounds get absorbed into your
2:41
bloodstream and they can move to your
2:42
heart. [music] They can move to your
2:43
lungs. They can move to your brain and
2:45
they can have beneficial effects
2:47
elsewhere so far away from where those
2:49
bacteria [music] are.
2:50
>> This is also where we get another
2:52
buzzword that you might have heard
2:53
before, probiotic. Probiotics are live
2:57
microorganisms which when administered
2:59
in adequate [music] amounts confer a
3:01
health benefit on the host. If you want
3:03
to go more in depth on that, we actually
3:05
did a video about probiotics in yogurt.
3:08
And there's actually no hardline
3:10
definition of what exactly is going on
3:12
inside of us that makes our gut
3:14
microbiome healthy. What we do know is
3:17
that if the microbes in it are diverse
3:19
and robust, our gut is working properly.
3:21
>> [music]
3:21
>> We always describe each person's gut
3:23
microbiome as being like a fingerprint.
3:25
>> Tons of different species doing tons of
3:27
different things, producing all these
3:29
different compounds.
3:30
>> And when that world of microbes inside
3:32
of us is out of balance, we can feel it.
3:35
>> When it comes to your gut microbiome,
3:37
there's no good or bad bacteria. You
3:39
need a lot of different kinds of [music]
3:41
bacteria in your gut.
3:42
>> So, there's a term for the imbalance of
3:44
the gut microbiome called dispiosis.
3:48
And some of those symptoms are things
3:50
like bloating, abdominal pain, issues
3:52
with bowel movements.
3:53
>> So, it's a good thing that we're talking
3:56
about our gut health and microbiome
3:58
more, but its rise as a trending topic
4:00
has opened the door to questionable
4:02
claims about gut health. Many people
4:05
have conditions that are affected by the
4:07
gut microbiome.
4:08
>> 40% of Americans [music] say that GI
4:11
symptoms disrupt their daily lives. Gut
4:13
issues have been stigmatized in the
4:15
past. You know, you don't [music] walk
4:17
around talking about your bowels and how
4:20
they it's just kind of not what people
4:22
do.
4:22
>> Public awareness of the gut health
4:24
benefits from things like probiotics
4:26
became widespread in the [music] 2010s
4:29
and product marketing for supplements,
4:31
beverages, beauty, and food products
4:33
leaned into that popularity. They added
4:35
labels with claims like supports gut
4:37
health and boosts microbiome. You don't
4:40
know if that means that actually any of
4:43
those bacteria [music]
4:44
are going to make it to your colon and
4:45
they're going to take hold or if they
4:47
were ever, you know, alive to begin
4:48
with. Everyone should just remember that
4:50
the [music] supplement industry is not
4:52
regulated the same way as a medicine.
4:54
>> That hasn't stopped the big business of
4:56
the wellness industry, which is now
4:58
worth over $6 trillion globally and is
5:02
largely unregulated.
5:03
>> You go [music] to any grocery store and
5:05
you see 100 different probiotics and gut
5:07
health supplements. There have been
5:09
studies that have been done that have
5:10
shown that if you take probiotics off
5:12
the shelf and you look at them, almost
5:14
30% of them are completely dead. They
5:16
have nothing that's alive. And I think
5:18
even more worrisome is that almost 30%
5:20
of them have something in them that
5:22
isn't on the label. So, you don't really
5:25
know what you're getting.
5:26
>> But things really took off once social
5:29
media influencers [music] started
5:31
heavily chiming in about gut health.
5:34
>> All right, I got a gut hack for you.
5:35
>> You want to focus on your gut health?
5:37
this is the perfect drink for you.
5:38
>> I cleansed my gut and now I have a
5:41
healthy gut.
5:42
>> While some wellness influencers might be
5:43
legit doctors or health care
5:45
professionals, research shows that many
5:48
of them aren't.
5:49
>> Billions of bacteria live in a person's
5:51
mouth, maybe more than there are birds
5:53
on Earth. Some are helpful, others, many
5:56
are behind oral health problems like
5:57
cavities and gingivitis. So, how do you
5:59
manage something you can't actually see?
6:01
It starts with a solid routine and the
6:04
right ingredients for the job. Take
6:05
staff fluoride for example. It helps
6:07
target and kill plaque bacteria. Plaque
6:10
can harden into tartar and plaque
6:12
bacteria can cause cavities and
6:14
gingivitis. That's why Colgate Total
6:16
developed a unique stabilization [music]
6:18
technology to keep the bacteria fighting
6:20
Stannis fluoride stable in your
6:21
toothpaste for longer. The benefits go
6:24
even further when [music] you pair it
6:25
with the Colgate total toothbrush and
6:27
mouthwash. The toothbrush is designed
6:29
with ultra fine bristles to [music]
6:31
reach deep along the gum line and
6:32
between teeth where plaque likes to
6:34
hide. And when you're not brushing, the
6:36
antibacterial [music] mouthwash extends
6:37
protection. Together, they form the
6:40
Colgate Total Active Prevention System,
6:42
designed to prevent oral health
6:43
problems.
6:45
Before they start,
6:49
>> 41% of health and wellness influencers
6:52
identify themselves as some kind of
6:54
health care professional, but most of
6:56
them describe themselves as things like
6:58
coaches or entrepreneurs. And the thing
7:01
is, people are listening to their
7:03
advice. Pew research shows that 40% of
7:07
adults get health and wellness
7:08
information from social media
7:10
influencers or from podcasts.
7:12
>> It's midnight and you're scrolling
7:14
TikTok and you see somebody [music] who
7:15
is like, "Hey, do you have diarrhea and
7:18
bloating?" Suddenly, you're locked in.
7:20
For the first time, you're feeling
7:21
heard. [music] Someone's describing your
7:23
symptoms. And then you get sold and then
7:25
you you start liking their content. You
7:26
buy their supplements. you try out, you
7:28
know, all of their different pathways
7:30
and you move further and further away
7:32
from the science.
7:33
>> That's led to plenty of unverified
7:35
claims of so-called miracle products or
7:38
hacks offering promises of improving
7:40
your gut health overnight. And the more
7:43
extreme viral trends like colonics,
7:45
parasite cleanses, or poop maxing are
7:48
likely to actually harm your gut.
7:50
>> The colonics is a big one. It actually
7:52
will cause negative impacts on your gut
7:54
microbiome. Anything that's like a a
7:56
very vigorous wash of your gut will
7:58
disturb [music] your microbiome and you
8:00
definitely don't want something like
8:01
that.
8:01
>> This whole concept of cleansing and
8:03
[music] resetting, there's no evidence.
8:05
There's no proof for it.
8:06
>> So, what should we really be doing to
8:08
keep our gut healthy? The doctors and
8:10
researchers that I talked to actually
8:12
had some pretty simple and sciencebacked
8:14
advice.
8:15
>> I think healthy diets like a
8:17
Mediterranean diet are very reasonable.
8:18
A wide variety of foods is good.
8:20
Avoiding things I think is more
8:22
important. avoiding preservatives,
8:24
avoiding [music] artificial sweeteners.
8:26
We know that uh a lot of the
8:28
preservatives that are added,
8:29
particularly those that are added to
8:31
make [music] foods sort of softer and
8:33
creamier, um they can cause an
8:35
inflammatory response within the gut
8:37
lining and also systemic [music]
8:38
inflammation.
8:39
>> Fiber maxing or at least trying to get a
8:43
little more fiber into your diet is one
8:45
gut health trend that you should
8:46
probably listen to.
8:47
>> Number one, it is fiber 100% [music] for
8:49
for gut health. We want a little bit of
8:51
fiber. We want the fruits. We want the
8:53
vegetables. We want the colorful [music]
8:54
plates.
8:55
>> Fermented foods for most people is a
8:57
good thing to incorporate into your diet
8:59
if you can tolerate it.
9:00
>> There's really no way to hack your gut
9:02
or change your microbiome without making
9:04
some serious lifestyle changes.
9:06
>> Start introducing probiotic foods every
9:08
day. Probiotic [music] foods do really
9:10
boost the diversity of your microbiome.
9:12
>> The closest you can get to your food
9:14
source, the closest you can get to
9:15
pulling it directly out of the ground
9:16
and eating it, that's probably even
9:18
[music] better for you than anything you
9:19
can get in the grocery store. So, if I
9:20
had to distill it all down, I would say
9:22
fiber, water, because water and fiber go
9:24
together, and stress [music] reduction.
9:26
It's really a lot of common sense
9:27
things.
9:28
>> There's no cure all supplement, food, or
9:31
single habit that you can take up that's
9:33
going to magically fix your gut health.
9:35
>> Anybody who's offering you
9:37
oneizefits-all for microbiome and
9:39
microbiome therapies, um, just approach
9:42
with caution.
9:43
>> The best advice is the simplest and
9:45
probably the same thing that your mom
9:47
has been telling you for years. Eat
9:49
healthy, don't stress, get some sleep,
9:52
and make good choices.
