E137 - Dr. Will Bulsiewicz: “Your Gut is Wiser Than Your Mind!” - Science of Intuition, Mood & Microbiome

So this is like, to me, lipopolysaccharide is synonymous with inflammation. So they were checking lipopolysaccharide levels in the blood. Again, we should not be seeing much lipopolysaccharide there when our gut barrier is working.

these two things, blood alcohol level and lipopolysaccharide, is like literally you could take the graph of what was happening every 30 minutes and you could superimpose them on one another because it was literally a complete and total overlap.

In fact, there was this one really interesting part for reasons that I can't totally explain, but there's probably a metabolic basis for this, where the alcohol level actually went back up. So like the alcohol level peaked and it was coming down. The lipopolysaccharide level peaked, and it was coming down in parallel.

And then for whatever reason, the alcohol level went back up, and so did the lipopolysaccharide level. It was a one-to-one connection. The lipopolysaccharide did not get back to normal until the alcohol was zero.

So from my perspective, if you're drinking enough to have alcohol that's detectable in your blood, you're drinking enough to allow lipopolysaccharide to leak into your blood, which means a damaged gut barrier.

That's the way that I feel about this. And I have an expression that I like, which is progress over perfection. Because I don't want people to feel like they need to drill down on these things. Like even with the 30 plants, if you're the average American, then you're probably consuming like seven or eight per week. And so to go up to 30 is a bit much.
