Episode 61 Focus: Special Guest Dr Jason Hawrelak ND.

We discuss why health is an active daily process rather than an occasional state, the subtle damages of the Western diet, the distinction between sugar and fruit, and personalized approaches to healing serious GI conditions. Bean protocol for the win!

The Gut-Brain-Immune Axis: The decisions we make daily—from food choices to stress and sleep—directly impact the microbiome, which, in turn, influences mood, immunity, and long-term disease risk.

Saturated Fat, and gut health.
Crohn's Disease and IBD: IBD symptoms (Crohn's, Colitis) show similar patterns of dysbiosis: too few beneficial, anti-inflammatory bacteria (like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) and too many pro-inflammatory or pathogenic species (like certain E. coli strains).

Dietary Emulsifiers: A major driver of IBD and inflammation is the consumption of dietary emulsifiers (e.g., carrageenan, polysorbate 80) found in ultra-processed foods. These compounds actively strip away the protective mucus layer, allowing microbes and toxins to interact with the immune system.

Saturated Fat and Pathogens: Saturated fats (from dairy, lard, or coconut) behave differently in the gut:

They encourage the growth of bacteria like Bilophila wadsworthia (a bile-loving bug) by increasing bile sulfur levels. Bilophila produces hydrogen sulfide gas, which is linked to IBD risk and visceral hypersensitivity (painful, oversensitive nerves in the gut).Saturated fat can also bind to and increase the absorption of endotoxin (a bacterial toxin), driving systemic inflammation.


Optimal Protein: A plant-forward omnivore ( like the bean protocol) or pescatarian diet is optimal. A high-fiber diet mitigates many of the risks associated with protein intake. For IBD flares, temporarily reducing red meat is often necessary to suppress hydrogen sulfide-producing microbes.

Dr. Hawrelak uses these daily to optimize his health and aging process by selectively encouraging beneficial bacteria (like butyrate producers):

Start small and go slow if you choose to add them in as they can cause constipation and loud stank gas if you go fast.

Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG)
( Tomorrows Nutrition- sun fiber is a great brand- one that I use in my practice) 6 grams
Feeds butyrate-producing microbes (critical for colon health).

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) / Inulin
3 grams
Feeds Bifidobacteria, Faecalibacterium, and Akkermansia.

Galactooligosaccharides (GOS)
3 grams
Feeds Bifidobacteria and Faecalibacterium.

Note: Prebiotics are selective fertilizers. Brands matter less than for probiotics. Dr. Hawrelak recommends searching for these compounds from reputable supplement companies.
