- Can gut bugs change the world? Join Warren Peters on a journey into understanding your microbiome and the new discoveries changing the way we understand diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, autism, and our everyday health and wellness.
If asked, he will tell you that the first part of his medical career was in general surgery, where “if something is wrong with you, I will cut it out." The next was dedicated to lifestyle and natural medicines, where “if something is wrong with you, just try harder." And finally, the last part is dedicated to the molecular and genetic basis of obesity, where "if something is wrong with you, it is the fault of your parents and the changing environment." Within these three perspectives, reside the virtues of common sense and wisdom.
He obtained his medical degree from Loma Linda University, his surgical training at the Mason Clinic in Seattle Washington, and, his Master’s degree in biostatistics and epidemiology from Loma Linda University. He is privileged to travel and lecture nationally and internationally on topics of nutrition, wholeness, and wellness. He has practiced surgical care, wholistic care, and, primary care in Washington, Maryland, Virginia, and California.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I had indigestion, bloating, and pain. I started making my own kefir. Cleared it up in a couple of days.
The 'gut bugs for dummies' sounded like a great idea to get the message out to the general population. Great info, thanks for sharing.
What a lovely man and such a graceful way of presenting and leaving food for thought... ❤️ Excellent presentation, humbly delivered 👌🏻
Indeed
very much indeed!
Absolutely the best Microbiome talk I've ever heard . Especially for such a short video
Our bodies are a universe in and of itself. So amazing
Documentary on Nova, public television, study the Amish who had infinitely higher gut Flora diversity than your average American. I highly recommend that video
@Kosja3i Muje so why is our behavior influenced by what we eat.. instead of our belief of the holy bible?
@Kosja3i Muje о
Fascinating info! And could this man be any sweeter? :)
Naturopathic doctors have been talking about this for over 30 years
Too bad the medical mafia and big pharma murder them worse than the witch hunt trials. x___x
I stopped using toothpaste 11 years ago when I joined the marines and it became inconvenient. Haven't had a cavity or oral issue since that day. I also never have bad breath unless I eat something like garlic (which I do frequently to lower my blood pressure)
Someone I know was talking about going to the doctor for a bunch of stomach and gut problems and was telling someone in front of me how the doctor said she had too many microbes in her digestive system and that an antibiotic fixed it. She basically wiped out her micro biome. I winced and didn’t say a word. I have sibo symptoms I’m not perfect but I plan to make yogurt from L. Reuteri and hope it colonizes the small intestine and balance it out that way. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@@frustratedmajority851seriously? Enlighten me. why’d you stop using toothpaste and would natural derived toothpaste be fine?
I hear you, and also I’m glad it’s become a TED subject! 😊
It seems to me that we need to build our diet around fermented foods. When the Biomes are satiated the mind will chill out
Should be bio, not processed with heat, otherwise they don't give good results.
They should make a hall of fame for the mice who aided in breakthroughs.
Or just feed them to snakes.
Banished From The Dwarf Planet 😂
Story Time with Duane ... excellent suggestion ... and stuff mount and name the mouse after the scientists.
man i was just thinking while reading some neuro cancer research about how cruel we are to them even if its for our apex human species health, development, and eventual enlightenment, perhaps the karma we are simultaneously in for is not all positive despite the medical breakthroughs that may go on to save millions of lives in the future, i could not imagine myself injecting mice with cells that i know are going to torture them, then having to sacrifice them agh, although i realize it has been necessary for alot of the progress we as a people are benefitting off of, it is bit sadistic
yes!
Very ground breaking findings on Gut biome. Ayurvedic ( ancent medical practice) Doctors in India give natural prescription ( like castor oil) especially for children to cause motions on a regularl basis with an ideo of maintaining healthy gut biome
He is so calm,poise and eloquent....thank you for informative talk.
Amazing! What's also amazing is that the food we eat can change our gut microbiome in just 2 days!
Hey thanks for your comment, can I ask a question: why doesn’t my gut seem to respond to anything? I’m so slow to digest anything but meat. Kimchi and sauerkraut don’t seem to have an affect I went for a couple weeks eating that every day couple times a day ,OK I’m done.
Yes, this is very useful to all kinds of people with digestive problems. It's absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting.

Short and sweet
Oh no short and nutritious Video. Thanks
Modern hospital's are doing c sections and cutting the ambiblibal cord before bonding takes place.! Its a sad thing for humanity. Great information, thank you.
my grandma always taught me to stock up on yogurt whenever I'm prescribed antibiotics. I never knew why and now I do ! Great talk :)
Except Yogourt isn't good for you because it is both dairy and high in sugar.
Ryutaa Kuzunoha Its good for probiotics
Kefir is better :)
@@RyutaaKuzunoha eat plain yogurt, there is even yogurts made of nuts like almond milk, cashew milk or sheep or goat milk is less inflammatory than the usual holstein cow milk. Also jersey cow milk is less inflammatory.
@@LF-pe9ok This could be because of the Calcium in the Yoghurt (or other Milk based products). Calcium prevents some Antibiotics like for example Doxycyclin from being absorbed.
Thank you Doctor for making it so simple for dummies like me to digest and understand complexity of the subject.
I heard many doctors recommending a whole food plant based diet to obtain a healthy gut microbiome , the more i study about this the more i’m convinced by these recommendations 🌱
Best talk on microbiome ever heard.
I've recently stopped buying food in boxes containers and bottles. I make my own salad dressing with fresh ingredients, Guacamole, etc.
Smart man.
If you love quacomole try adding a little bit of fermented cabbage to it. So good! It adds a Nice zesty flavor and contains a ton of probiotics, enzymes, and nutrients :).
@@AtypicalPaul aww man I wish I wasn't histamine intolerant
Yes don’t eat processed foods if you can and avoid meat of all types and dairy.
I've been able to significantly bolster the nutritional content of my homemade guacamole, which I eat every day, by adding nutritional yeast, sumac, turmeric, and spirulina powder. This lets me add a good deal of protein and meat-like vitamins and minerals and more than double the ORAC value of the guacamole while only adding like 5 calories. This also allows me to skip adding any salt to the guacamole as well. It isn't as delicious as normal full salt guac, but since I eat it everyday, I'm okay with it tasting just a little less good but being super healthful instead.
Pure wisdom!!! This is pure gold. Thank you sir.
Loved This!! Dr Peters’s is the Very Best Doctor I’ve Ever Met.
this guy explained this so well, great talk
I like him a lot. " I like to think about the lifestyles in addition to nutrition that could help our biome." lol so true
Thank you Mr.Peters! You are right, the bugs need good foods: "Optimum Nutrition is the Medicine of the Future"
The amount of adjectives he uses has me dead “skinny little mouse” “little baby” he loves the word little. So cute
I use organic unsweetened applesauce as my salad dressing and some vinegar and any spices you like such as organic garlic powder and pepper and maybe salt as in iodized salt which we need some of for the iodine. Sea salt doesn’t have iodine. Best wishes
He may not have a degree, but what he has over some of these experts is that he has experienced Colitis. Those of us know what it feels like suffer from Colitis. I have changed my diet and it has made change to my Health. Also these are the things I found have helped: Diet, Fitness, and Reduce Stress. I find Stress is a big factor and by eliminating or reducing stress has a big factor. These are my experiences and the the results have been good when I reduce my stress and increase my exercise and diet.
Diet, fitness, and reduced stress will help any medical condition. I'm glad you got your colitis under control with healthy living.
I have same but not colitis, its ibs.
please guide me how i can fix my gut working normal... please
@@gautam.2317 How are you now? I am also suffering with IBS and its ruining my life. Could you please tell what I have to do reduce it?
Thank you for this amazing and really instructive lecture. We still have a long way to treat our gut bugs as good friends.
Very nice talk, a difficult subject explained so well. Is it possible to do part 2 for this talk with all the updates which happened in last 6 year since when the talk first delivered. Dr Peters was so eloquent and made this topic so simple to understand.
Awesome presentation, doc. Complex info presented in such a light, simple and clear way. Thanks a lot.
Absaloutely fantastic talk. I’m with you all the way.👍
Crucial information! Thank you for helping to restore our human lives "our guts"! God bless you!
Great speaker. Enjoyed his presentation!
Happy doctor's talk on happy bugs that will make us happy :) really enjoyed your talk. Thank you
I think Chinese Medicine is kind of an intuitive way of keeping your Gut Biome healthy. Doctors do the exam by checking your pulse and looking at your tongue, then prescribe you a medicine you drink which is meant to adjust your balance of your body (yin/yang) by introducing or taking away toxins. It kind'a makes sense now that it's mostly about checking your gut biome. BTW my mother had depression and it wasn't until she got on Chinese Medicine that she got markedly better after circling through a cocktail of drugs for a decade. Totally works.
Depression cures after taking drugs after 10 years? That's a very long space of time, it was probably something else.
Absolutely perfect talk!
Mr Warren Peters, you are indeed awesome.
This was amazing! Our microbiome is truly incredible :)
Wonderful talk! Very enlightening!
Great one. Super informative. Thank you very much
Wonderful talk!!
So interesting. Will be definitely looking at his suggested foods.
Amazing how much Warren sounds and looks just like Tim Cook CEO of Apple.
He is officially adorable.
In a nerdy grampa kind of way.
great. Thank you professor
I love his presentation. So concise and entertaining.
There’s a great little book on natural healing written by an older man who cured himself of a number of maladies without medical intervention, called My Physician, Myself. I read it a couple of years ago but lost my copy. I’m going to Amazon right now to order one and be more careful with it. It’s more than well worth the read. You light look into the work of Luigi Cornaro, a Venetian nobleman who lived to 102.
Thanks Dr. Peters ... a couple of good points ...
70 Going On 100
Great information, thank you! And what a charming man :)
Excellent content and beautifully presented. He ties together a lot of things heard elsewhere in fragments.
I don't know any doctor here in Canada that give antibiotics for colds virus and flu ever. Honestly when I have been sick I stay home and don't go to the doctor unless I suspect its turned into an infection.
Yes in my country antibiotics are never given for a virus
It’s not the antibiotics that people are taking but the meat you eat that has had tons of antibiotics to be grown in unacceptable conditions- ie thousands of chickens in a small place.
@@ncbluegrassevents1984 Not the food grown on regenerative farms. Look for grass-fed and pasture-raised, and you probably won't go wrong.
Thought it is quite interesting that the bugs need to sleep. Maybe that is why not eating late at night is a good idea.
What if some of them are 3rd shifters ?
@@johnnymaldonado983 Omg so that's what's been happening, I must be full of those 3rd shifters! They keep waking me up in the middle of the night and make me eat yogurt! ;p
@Robert Brown That sounds quite interesting, and expected in some way. Got any sources on that? May there be any other correlation in lifestyle, diet and exercise here?
@@katharina... I get "sweet attacks" in the middle of the night.
@@a.joseph4233 Isn't that interesting? I wish we had it all figured out at this stage and knew exactly why these things are happening. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. After having 2-3 tablespoons of natural, plain Greek yogurt I go back to bed and fall asleep straight away :D Are you able to go back to sleep after you've eaten something sweet?
Well done .Finally someone is speaking the truth and sense.
Very well said! Thank you!
Well explained ! Thnx a lot☺️
I read that we also have much less overall organisms in our microbiome, compared to earlier living humans. Or humans from places that don't live like we do.
Thank you, so informative
Fantastic speech. Thank You Sir.
Amazing information thank you so much 🙏🏻 let’s have a healthy gut💪
This should be front page news
Clear and informative
Excellent video! I have been an avid researcher of this topic since 1998.
Really..I'm just learning! I've been gut I'll for almost 2 yrs..I got violently I'll 2 yrs ago and never been the same since. Did it all GI..ENT..Cat scans..MRI..BLOOD WORK..NOW at May clinic..no one knows..Mayo now saying IBS..I've been in bed most of the 2 yrs. I still work..so hard to work feeling sick. Any pointers?? Thank you!!!🙏
Has anyone heard of a study done on the microbiomes of Asians who do eat a lot of vegetables. I had a lot of Chinese friends in college and they did not like our food at all. Their greatest joy was to eat vegetables and they couldn’t wait to spend every day or so chopping them up with great enjoyment. Of course they were all thin. When I eat like a Chinese or when I specially eat raw vegetables I do feel quite full and quite oblivious to add foods like candies.
Another thing very related to all this is that trees have a similar thing to our microbiome - also and probably all plants have a gigantic layer of fungus I believe within their root systems that does exactly the same thing that our biome does it feeds them processes things for them and they cannot exist without it also. I have just wondered if anybody noticed the similarity of the two biomes.
yeah literally explained this analogy to someone the other day... u see I have/had crohns disease
Veggies are great but they should be cooked
I live with an Asian and he hates vegetables
When you are full of tape worms you can expect to be thin. Anyone that regularly consumes uncooked meat (sushi) is full of parasites (worms).
Lady Grace horribly untrue
Excellent. Wonderful.
Thank you so much.
One of the best.
great info,thanks
Thank you so much
Such incredible useful information
Great job, Dr. Peters.
Anti biotic resistant bacteria is the largest threat to humanity. Bacteriology and microbiology need the most funding they can get. I will never understand how the human microbiota is not argued by health advertiment or experts, exercise and diet are one thing, be understanding your biological makeup is another.
it depends. some biologists think we will contimue to be able to create new antibiotics faster than the bacteria can evolve
Seems like it would be faster to just simply stop buying meat, eggs, dairy, etc. Those industries are responsible for the excessive use of the antibiotics, right?
Isen gard said
Stupidity is the greatest threat, always has been. Bacteria are not a problem to a healthy body.
Fungi is worse
I love this presentation. Thank you sir
Great concise and Upto date information
That was a fantastic lecture!
A good overview still relevant in 2022. Well presented
Thank you for this speech!This is so worth knowing!!
Excellent!
Good points. However, I cannot eat kimchi because I have IBS and Kimchi has red pepper sauce. Plain kimchee I can eat. I still eat red pepper kimchi on occasion, but it burns.
Fix your microbiome, and you'll probably fix the IBS. Mainly, always eat organic and try to find meats and dairy from grass-fed animals grown on regenerative farms.
Excellent informative talk
Thank you very much for sharing your Scientific knowledge of Life Dr.
Espetacular!
Brilliant done
Eating fermented rice helped my gut health immensely. It's a prebiotic and a probiotic.
Thanks 🙏
Excellent
Very informative, thank u sir 👏🏻😊
I know a lot of people are fans of colon cleansing but it flushes out the good bacteria and also the normal mucus layer. I think people who have germ phobias are the ones who go in for this. I may be wrong about that, though.
He's just so gosh darn happy. I want whatever he's on!
So informative thank you!
so helpful and clear! thanks for the information, it was actually really cool!!
Useful thanks sir
Great ! Enjoyed your lecture. Very informative. Thanks.
great advice, I want someone like him to talk about Micoplasma and the relation to AB use
Amazing lecture, I have had an interest in this subject for a few years and I love how he made it sound so simple. Look after your bugs :-)

@@yankee2666 thank you I will take a look
Excellent speech!
Very informative!
How I wish I was a student under his supervision.... Such informative stuff. When do schools take these information and start feeding the children subs real whole food?
Fascinating! Just wondering if this clever chap has ever written a book about it. I need to check.
Excellent 👏
Great talk. We are 90% gut bugs
actually, since 2016 when this video was posted, more research went in and calculated that only 56% of the cells in our body are microbial instead of the 90% that was originally thought.
Thank you...interesting thing is that the biome has a circadian rhythm & that exercise influences the biome..! Need to check the evidence behind this...bit its interesting!
What a gem
Great information
