Diet Changes Gut Microbiota

 

What I liked about this video

This informative video by Dr Pradip Jamnadas showcases the importance of eating wholesome foods vs processed foods to provide our guts with important dietary fiber to fuel the bacteria that impact our health. He made mention of how youth in America are becoming more unhealthy related to poor dietary choices that lead to child obesity, prediabetes and diabetes.

  • Good intro to gut microbiome.
  • Good explanation of what gut bacteria is for.
  • Good to encourage fermented foods.
  • Good clarification on best sources of dietary fiber. 
  • Good questions and answers at the end. 

What I disliked about this video

  • Dr Jamnadas last sentence that he fired his dietitian was cringe-worthy! 

Oh my! That comment was unfortunate as it cast a suggestion that you don't need a dietitian. I am a dietitian who makes a difference in the lives of others. I do not focus on teaching calorie counting, but rather, listen and provide medical nutrition therapy to meet individual needs. 

Nutrition educators, such as dietitians, help to promote healthy habits and eating of wholesome foods. Just like doctors, dietitians all have different personalities and ways to provide information and education to their clients. If his RD wasn't a good fit for his practice, he could have replaced her with a different healthcare professional to better meet his and his practice's needs. 

Registered dietitians are nutrition experts who are instrumental in helping individuals and family's make improvements to their diets and lifestyles.
