Gastroenterologist Dr. Robynne Chutkan joins Chris on Revolution Health Radio to discuss how we can strengthen our gut-immune system to protect us and/or recover from viral illness. They review what the research indicates about the link between the health of our microbiome and our likelihood of catching viral illnesses, and talk about the ways we can repair and strengthen our microbiome by optimizing diet, exercise, sleep, and time outdoors to boost our host defenses and overall health.
In this episode, we discuss:
-The connection between the gut microbiome and our immune defense against viral pathogens
-How we can repair and strengthen our microbiome
-Why it’s important to focus on both the internal and external environment when it comes to the microbiome
-Ways we can use nutrition to improve our gut bacteria
-Why spending time outdoors is key for gut health
-How practicing mindfulness, meditation, and other stress management techniques helps the microbiome
