In this episode, Dr. Lucy Mailing answers the question, “Does exercise impact gut health?” Inspired by her journey with chronic eczema, Dr. Mailing started looking into the gut-skin connection to improve her symptoms.  Seeing this connection spurred her research and career in gut health, the microbiome, and nutrition science.  When it comes to improving gut health, evidence shows exercise can help. But, how much exercise is needed? What type of exercise intensity is most effective? What diets and supplements can be paired with exercise to enhance gut health?  Join the discussion with Dr. Mailing and me as we discuss fine-tuning your exercise regime to benefit your gut microbiome.  Featured Studies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30883471/    Continue Learning Finding your exercise frequency: https://drruscio.com/should-i-workout-every-day/  On too much fiber: https://drruscio.com/can-you-eat-too-much-fiber/  Gut-healing diets: https://drruscio.com/gut-healing-diet/  A butyrate breakdown: https://drruscio.com/what-is-butyrate/  Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  04:31 If You’re Not Exercising Enough 09:42 If You’re Exercising Too Much 18:30 Exercise Benefits on the Microbiota 24:20 Optimal Frequency, Intensity, & Duration 25:22 Fiber: Overhyped? 31:36 Diets 34:30 Butyrate 38:50 Results Take Time 42:16 Fungus Isn’t Always Bad 44:18 The Best Fungal Testing   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/   DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
