How to Build, Maintain & Repair Gut Health | Dr. Justin Sonnenburg
My guest this episode is Dr. Justin Sonnenburg, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University. Dr. Sonnenburg’s research focuses on how microbes in our gut impact our mental and physical health and how diet and environment shape the gut microbiome. We discuss the architecture of the gut microbiome and microbiota variability in different regions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and how these can change in response to diet, environment or genetics. We explore the early establishment of the microbiome and how the mode of delivery into the world (cesarean section, C-section, or vaginal birth) shapes the gut. We also discuss lifestyle factors that can alter the microbiome and the integral role the gut microbiome plays in communicating with other organs, including the brain.
Dr. Sonnenburg details his recent clinical study, which found that diets rich in fermented foods, but not fiber, increase microbiota diversity and reduce signals of inflammation. Additionally, we examine how foods typical of Western diets—for example, high-fat, low-fiber processed foods—can negatively impact the gut microbiome. Throughout the episode, we discuss actionable tools from peer-reviewed clinical findings that anyone can implement, regardless of budget, to optimize their gut microbiome and health.
