Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

It's like saying all animals are the same.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

Humans are the same as cockroaches, the same as cats and dogs.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

You can't, and their effects are very, very broad.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

And so we've started tearing this apart.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

I was a chemistry undergrad by training, so I guess that's where I'm coming at this.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

So we just started, and being somewhat practical too, we started putting people on, we took two common fibers, arabinoxylan and inulin, which are these two, just commonly used, arabinoxylans and physium hus, and it's associated with mesomucil and inulins and those chicory pea fiber things.

Well, Metamucil is a good example for the โ€“ Arabiziland would be a gnat.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

Arabiziland is kind of interesting.

As the name sounds, the chemist has arabinose and it does have some glucose, but it has polyphenols in it too.

And I don't know if you probably have covered this on your show.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

They are.

And they're being, especially in the last, I'd say, you know, six, ten years, being more and more appreciated for all their positive effects as antioxidants and the inflammatory.

So anyway, they're part of a rabbi's island.

Huberman Lab

This inulin is a glucose polymer, but they're a short chain and a long chain.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

That has different properties as well too.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

That's in various certain fruits and certain other things.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

And when we went into this, if you read the literature, you would

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

say, well, there'll be some say, well, inulin lowers your glucose, and others say, no, it has no effect.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

And some saying it lowers your cholesterol, and others it doesn't.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

Same with the rabizolidin.
