Never thought poop donation is a thing
The term "shit up my arse" springs to mind here. Our gut has a lot of sway over the human condition, so utilising the gut flora of a healthier being, or even going as far as to grow a healthy gut microbiome in a lab, could help resolve a lot of our problems. Willpower may also be required, BUT with the influence one's gut has over one's mind, maybe we could actually GROW one's willpower via gut flora transplants?
This gives the phrase "trust your gut" a whole new meaning.
"trust your gut feelings" = Bacterias voting for what you eat at dinner.
Ray Venner So that’s what a gut feeling is - gut bacteria telling you that what they can gleam from your nerves is worthy of being paid attention to?
I tried and tested it. I forced my body to avoid junk, killing the craving by just kept having miniscule bite, upgraded to green vegetables, fruits and grains. I lost 10kgs and now I crave for fruits and vegetables, in just a month. This works! 🔥
Hey kurzgesagt,
I’ve been watching your videos for over 5 years now and you don’t know how much these videos help me out... Every single time, and I mean every single time I have episodes of depression or anything of the sort I can always look up to this channel to brighten up my day; So I just wanted to write this to you as a token of gratitude and appreciation at all the great content you post.
I literally was eating pizza while watching this and decided to put it away to show my bacteria im still in charge. Might finish it later tho
You are breeding the bacteria that make you think that you are still in charge, be careful
If being in charge doesn't involve eating pizza, I don't want to be in charge.
When I started a keto diet, there were a couple of days where I felt depleted. But the most interesting event were the incredibly vivid dreams I had about pasta, bread, sugar etc. I genuinely think that the dying bacteria I was depriving of sugar and carbs were signalling my brain to want those foods.
I would love to hear your experience.
well I don't think it entirely has to do with microbiomes only, as we know it the brain only feeds on carbohydrates (glucose) bread, pasta, etc. So I reckon your body craves carbs because the brain is "starving". However, obviously you wont pass away from not eating carbs. Because when you go into a keto diet and (ultimately your body enters ketosis) you stop consuming carbs so your body cant get glucose to feed the brain as a result keton bodies that are produced in the liver are made and then later transferred into glucose for the brain.
Basically a keto diet relies on external, consumed fats, which get digested and used up immediately. Carbs are an essential fuel source that spike blood sugar which is useful for getting through exercise heavy activities. Fats quickly burn to release a manageable amount of energy, preventing spikes in glucose. This ketogenic diet is supposedly good for losing weight but, has been proven to be bad for your long term nutrition. Just my 2¢
@@yallareblind4948 it makes sense for a sedentary lifestyle, ketogenic diet allows up to 50g of carbs per day.
This gives me a warm weird fuzzy happy feeling that this harmonious interactions is literally happening in my body right now. Or is it just my microbiome yelling *"ye boi get educated and cultivate us well"* ?
Hyijuuyyyyhptttttttythttyt tuyhptyy h5yyyyy6tyjjhhtghyyyyyyuyubjuyhu7776ygvhyjh vgthgu ju7htu vvhhhh50yfobclpljfo9
Yes. It's a fuzzy feeling because your bacteria are happy you're getting educated. :)
Mom: Stop eating junk food!
Me: It isn't me mom! My microbes are forcing me to do so!
@@sushiroll4984 I know I know, I tried adding to the joke, that's all 😋
RamenDutchman never add to a joke unless it actually is funny or goes along with the joke. Otherwise you’ll just ruin it.
Besides the horrifying ending, this was insanely informative and I hope everyone who watched this feels a little more inspired to take care of their bodies
The saying "you are what you eat" has never been more relevant than in this video.
Lasersniper you don't actually BECOME what you eat though. You just influence what you'll eat later. Rather, you are what you shit, because your diet influences your gut microbiome, which is in your shit
This video is gonna be....viral.
No it won't CZcams will fk over everyone and everything in CZcams now so don't worry.

@@abramslion1 the fact that he called Autism a disease is very unsettling
Poop transplant.
Those two words combined probably have one of the highest "wtf factor".

The ones in the guts just roaming around are adorable! Look at the little worms!!!! They’re so cute! Even the immune system is adorable!
@@shitpost7026 they can also be like some plancks, or worms, or poop-shaped or like sausages
I was just thinking about how this was one of my favorite episodes aesthetically and then the fecal transplant animation came along and REALLY sealed the deal.
“And Reverse it”

Sure, I can talk to my bacteria about how much money I make today, which they totally understand.

"...Serious diseases, such as autism..." I'm usually a really big fan of these videos, but that line in particular really rubs me the wrong way.
Things like gluten can actually trigger autism. If you're mad about it then sorry but that's science for you, autism is complex just like us
@@Hannikase I think you misinterpreted @Asta Buchmann's comment. She's not complaining about the science, what we take issue with is calling autism a disease, which isn't how psychology characterises it anymore - it is a neurodevelopmental disorder / difference, present (or at least genetically determined) from birth. If you're not born autistic you can't just "become" autistic, and if if you are autistic there is no "un-diseased" version of you that isn't autistic. You are wired differently.
@@whosacleverbirdie Ah my bad. In my language we use one word for anything like "illness", "disease", "sickness" etc and the definition of the word is that if it at all reduces your quality of life, it's (closely translated to) a "disorder" which for pretty much all diseases or words like it makes more sense to me. Autism is more often than not in our society something that makes life more stressful, so personally i love to use this definition for it since it's not wrong, but it's also not without any pain. I hope we can normalize most conditions as "conditions that doesn't fit into our way of life" rather than "wrongs"
My favorite bacteria faction is the opportunistic bacteria. They're like "aight, who's winning?"
Kurzgesagt: Children born via c-section have higher rates of asthma, immune diseases, and even leukemia
Me, someone who was born via c-section: oh fun
*POOPS, SORRY!*
Wait, so ass to mouth does have a biological function? Yeah, still not doing it.
The science in this episode is utilized to dystopian effect in the story "Shitlord In the Anus of Madness" by Fabrina Glitchlace.
An observation at 5:56, it's said that "our microbiome has also been linked to other serious diseases, as autism". Autism isn't a disease (and that was mentioned on the video in the same sentence that included cancer), it's a disability. It's not considered a disease because it's not something to be cured. Autistic people may need more or less support in certain situations, but they also have their own way of being (specific interests, stims, personality) and if no one is being harmed by that, that's okay. I thought it'd be important to mention this, specially as an autistic woman.
Hello, this comment is two months old but I was a bit curious. So, I just googled about this and a study entitled 'Role of the Gut Microbiome in Autism Spectrum Disorders' conducted by Joby Pulikkan, Agnisrota Mazumder, and Tony Grace (2019) came up. I didn't really digest it properly but from what I can understand, there are reported to be more gastrointestinal problems with people who have autism than with others who have different neurodevelopmental disorders. They present it could be because of the gut-brain axis (like the relationship between the gut and brain; how the health of these parts influence each other), as there is a gut microbiome, it is possible that these microorganisms could contribute to one's mental health. However, don't trust me. I encourage anyone reading this to read the research article yourselves.
I had the same thought. Schizophrenia is also not a disease, it's a disorder.
Bacteria:I want pizza
Brain:what type
Bacteria:chicken with extra cheese
Brain:ok u want soda with that
Bacteria:yea dude
Brain:order up
Edit:Damn that's a lot of likes!!
So it's not me asking for pizza, it's the microbes.
They have good taste.
Chicken
Soda
Just need noodles and soup-
My brain singin like: CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, WIT A SODA ON THE SIDE - jhope, 2019
Would love to see this animation done for the endocannabinoid system since it regulates metabolism, nutrient transport, GI tract, gut-brain axis among sooooo many more processors for homeostasis in the body

Doctor: Well, we’re considering a fecal transplant.
Patient: What’s that?
Doctor: *Explains*
Patient: Haha, no worries, I think I’ll just die.
Yes it sounds funny, but it's no worse than any other suppositories out there, haha. It's even better, in fact - It's only made of things that are supposed to be in your large intestine in the first place.
Doctor: well, we're considering a fecal transplant.
Patient: The WHAT!!?
I guess this gives a new meaning to listen to your gut
You know, considering how we just discovered this stuff about ourselves relatively recently, that could be the more accurate meaning.
I NEEDED this video!
I have "connection problems" between my brain and gut, which causes me IBS.
It's so nice to learn how microbes work! Thank you so much!
Your channel as well as my school is one the the reasons why I've decided to want to study microbiology at uni !!!!!
I would have never expected to see an ass funnel in a Kurzgesagt video.
I was about to ask “what on earth are you in about?” But then it came up on screen and I was like “ohhh, that ass funnel”
4:03 Let's be honest: if you fed me bacteria from anybody's guts, I'd also "begin showing anxiety-like behaviour".
That’s why scientists had a control group, and fed other mice the gut bacteria of less depressed people.
This one is great ! Also directly talks about philosopher and their quest to explain happiness!
It's like three types of friends you can have in your life: the friend who just hangs out with you and the others, the bad friend who gets you in trouble, and the good friend who helps you.
Wonderful video kurzgesagt, I love it! Keep up the good work!
Wow. This channel continues to become more and more incredible. This is why CZcams is better than tv.

Microbiome: I see you've lost a few pounds.

Well done! This video changed my life x
Very informative and fun animation as ever, only correction tho is that new studies found out that babies are not really sterile before birth since they found bacteria in the guts of new born or something
1:35 Anybody notice that when they said everybody's microbiome is unique, they created a fingerprint? I don't know if that was intentional but i loved it.
6:25 This should have been the thumbnail.

"You just transplant some healthy poop. You do that by literally transferring poop,from a healthy person,into your gut"
Moments like these I wonder what im doing with my life
The saying will no longer be holy shit it will now be *healthy shit*
I've often heard that the appetite of the mother during pregnancy affects the food preferences of the child. For example, while my mom had me, she had a big craving for tomatoes. My dad even had to buy a pack of them while she was in the hospital. I personally love both tomatoes and ketchup, even from my childhood. Could this be due to the bacteria and immune system being carried over from my mom?
nice, love your videos guys, thanks a lot for the content
The idea that trillions of bacteria are swarming over your skin and through your body is enough to give anyone the creepy crawlies. But In fact, We get more nutrition out of our food because of bacteria. This video does a great job of explaining the presence of bacteria in us without grossing us out. Kudos !
I am going to assume your account was compromised and that you are not just purposely sharing a phishing site.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you, very informative and simple to understand
now i know why i cant only eat one pringle
Usually if you eat one thing, and all of a sudden want another one not even 20 seconds later, it would just be taste.
The sugar in the Pringle affect the gland that tells you when you're full, but over time yeah the cravings are higher
HOW THEY MAKE THIS SO CUTE?!!?!!?
Lineless animation
Interesting shading.
Cute style.
White bubble marks (I forgot what they're called)
I absolutely love this video and how it makes me think about not only my health but the health of my child. Thank you so much!
I'd love to see how the microbiome works across the rest of the body as well =) Just an idea
2:41 rip good bacteria

Called my mom after watching.
"Hey, just wanted to say thanks for that natural birth and the boob milk."
Mom, ".......... no problem son."
Death By Cognitive Dissonance
You: *leaves the room*
Your mom: "well that's awkward"
Oh, i was going to say i didn't get born naturally but someone beat me to that.
Oh well i already knew i wasn't special
This shit makes me cry. Being depressed at times of my life and dealing with self hate at points for not being better, yet watching this realizing all these creatures only job is to live alongside us. Some help, others are indifferent. But it’s all an ecosystem. It’s just so amazing to think this is what being a live human being is. I wish others could see through my eyes.
i don't think autism should've been counted as a 'serious disease' alongside *cancer*. i say this as an autistic person who's become fascinated by your videos ever since i discovered them the other night. your videos always inspire me, but i don't want to know if you think my way of thinking/feeling is a problem.
Yeah, I was having a wonderful time watching the video when that popped out of nowhere. Talk about a blow to this content creator's credibility
Autism isn't a disease, it's a different type of brain structure. Improving your gut health doesn't completely rewire your brain! Plus, it's insulting to lump neurodiversity into the same slide as cancer.
Right?? Like it’s a pretty gross thing to say. I was hoping I misheard them. Makes it sound like autism is something to be cured.
"Neurodiversity"? Like allergies are just a way of saying you have diverse tastes?
Some allergies are extremely mild, manifesting as minor bouts of itchiness, but when people say "allergies" they *almost always* mean the life-threatening type that you need an EpiPen for. And yet even people with serious allergies are mostly independent and have a chance at living a somewhat normal life.
Autism may be a blanket term but obviously given the context the video means the type of Autism that requires constant caregiver support. The fact that Autism is so widespread and yet can devolve into the type of illness that would seriously impair someone's quality of life (ASD Level 3) is one of the reasons why people are trying so hard to find out what's causing it.

thank you that was AWESOME!
Autism is not a "disease". It is simply a different way of thinking. This common but debilitating misconception affects autistic folk like myself in a very personal manner. Diseases are biological - autism is a different way of thinking. For example, autistic people who can't speak don't have vocal abilities because their brain simply isn't vocally wired the way a neurotypical person's brain is, not because of some voice box rot. I love your channel and its exploration of existential questions - my favorites are videos on the possibility of aliens and the Fermi paradox - but I would encourage you to refrain from such misconceptions in the future.
So you're telling me my depression is caused by the depressed lettuce I've been eating daily? Shit.
The cows we eat processed meat from are extremely depressed so that's why we have a depression problem

So whenever I crave a certain type of food, it's because some bacteria in my gut that likes that kind of food is murdering all the other bacteria. That's nice to think about.
that means take a week to eat healthy see if the fat-loving bacteria gets taken over by the healthy eating bacteria
*Your favorite loving food cells be like*: THIS! IS! SPARTAAAA!!!!
So you're telling me that depression is contagious, and all you have to do is eat someone's poop?
Hell yeah
Dont eat Take poop and open your ass and put poop to inside of Your ass(dont do it at home)
I can't believe this video was filmed 4 years ago. It still feels fresh in 2022. Quality of this channel is top notch.
I’m still curious why we don’t consider the bacteria that inhabit us part of us. Because they don’t share somatic cell DNA? Because it wasn’t produced ‘in house?’ Is there a specific reason we are not our bacteria?
The poop transplant animation was awesome! Lol!.😂😁😂

But but where's the existential crisis? :'(
Is it actually you that asked about existential crisis or is it the bacteria that's communicating with your brain.
Thanks for sharing such an important topic! To add to this, the microbiota within us have 100x the genes that humans have!
