“Dr. Patrick also cautions that glutamine can serve as fuel for rapidly dividing cells; people with cancer, a history of polyps, or active gastrointestinal disease should not treat supplementation as routine and should discuss it with a clinician.”

“In this clip from his FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Andy Galpin explains why glutamine becomes conditionally important when training load, energy restriction, illness, or injury increases demand.”

“The pivotal role fiber plays in fueling good bacteria in the gut that act like "miniature drug factories" which produce compounds that regulate the immune system by increasing the number of T regulatory cells, which are specialized types of immune cells that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses.”

“Dr. Huberman’s practical range is deliberately cautious: not drinking avoids the exposure, and lower weekly intake creates less burden than a drink every night or heavier episodes.”

“Exercise studies also show that prolonged endurance work can lower circulating glutamine and alter immune measures, which helps explain interest in supplementation during heavy training.”

“Dietary fiber is a broad term that refers to the non-digestible components of fruits and vegetables. Gut microbes break down certain types of fiber, releasing micronutrients trapped in the fiber matrix and producing beneficial metabolic byproducts, such as short-chain fatty acids.”

“The gut-brain axis, the bidirectional signaling pathway between the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system, modulates the body's stress response. A key player in this pathway is the gut microbiome, the collection of genomes of the microorganisms that exist in the gastrointestinal tract.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“More than 200 HMOs have been identified, and they are the third most abundant factor in breast milk after fat and lactose. The primary role of HMOs is to serve as prebiotics – compounds that induce the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria.”
