Katie: Hiya and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast. I’m Katie from WellnessMama.com and I’m again on this episode with return visitor, Naveen Jain, to speak about why oral well being is so necessary for general well being and why microbiome is vital. We additionally speak about parenting as we at all times are likely to do. And in the event you’re not acquainted already, Naveen is an intensely curious entrepreneur who isn’t afraid to tackle audacious concepts that may assist humanity. He’s the creator of the award-winning ebook, Moonshots: Making a World of Abundance. And his present adventures are Viome and Moon Specific. As a serial entrepreneur, he beforehand based Infospace, Intelius, and TalentWise, and now focuses on Viome, whose singular mission is to make sickness non-obligatory. They’ve an AI-driven platform that analyzes the interplay between meals, our microbiome, and our human cells in an effort to develop exact vitamin and forestall and reverse continual illnesses.

And on this episode, we go deep on the oral microbiome, how 99% of the genes in our physique don’t come from our dad and mom however from the 100 trillion microbes that decision our our bodies residence, how oral well being pertains to general well being and intestine well being, what the oral microbiome is and the best way to enhance it, how oral well being is related to issues like colorectal most cancers and coronary heart illness, why the micro organism in our mouth is expounded to digestion, nitric oxide manufacturing, and way more. We speak about what biofilms are and what to do about them, the significance of issues like oral pre-, pro-, and post-biotics, the distinction between genes and gene expression, and the way gene expression is consistently altering, after which go deep on the subject of parenting, which is at all times a favourite matter for the 2 of us. So let’s be a part of Naveen. Naveen, welcome again!

Naveen: Nicely Katie, what a pleasure to be speaking to you. Each single time I speak to you, it brings again nice recollections and unbelievable power since you are simply such an important, optimistic particular person.

Katie: Thanks. I really feel the identical. And I feel again to our first lengthy dialog a few years in the past at an occasion the place we talked about every little thing from parenting to very particular intestine microbes and every little thing in between. And I’ve loved each dialog since then. And I’m excited to leap into this one.

Individuals is likely to be accustomed to you already from our previous episodes that went actually deep on the subject of intestine well being and the way that pertains to the entire physique. I’ll make certain to hyperlink to these within the present notes. For those who guys haven’t listened, you could find them at wellnessmama.fm. However immediately I’m actually excited to proceed the microbiome dialog in a few instructions that I really feel like are very related and that you simply even have experience in. The primary being the subject of oral well being and the way this pertains to not solely intestine well being however the well being of the physique.

Dave: Hey Naveen, what you doing?

Katie: Hello Dave Asprey, for these of you which might be listening in.

Dave: In fact I can’t hear you as a result of no earbuds. However Katie, love you, you’re superior.

Katie: Hello Dave. What a enjoyable cameo. I’m doing fantastic. You look superior. It’s nice to see you.

Dave: Nice to see you.

Katie: You too.

Dave: I really like what you do, I really like what you do. For those who’re within the south, simply need you to listen to from me.

Katie: Superior. Nicely, thanks for hopping in. For these of you guys who aren’t watching, Dave Asprey has simply joined the dialog.

Naveen: All there good to proceed.

Katie: Nicely, I used to be going to say to proceed our dialog from our previous podcast, I really feel like we bought such good depth on the intestine microbiome and the way this pertains to our entire physique and each side of well being. And I really feel like one other actually necessary matter right here that you’re additionally an knowledgeable in is the subject of oral well being, which we all know additionally has a microbiome additionally pertains to intestine well being, but additionally impacts the physique in a myriad of various methods. So to begin off broad, possibly simply stroll us by the idea of oral well being, the oral microbiome and the way this pertains to general well being.

Naveen: To begin with, let’s simply initially step again and take a look at the human physique itself, proper? We’re so happy with who we’re as people with out realizing that 99 % of all of the genes in our physique don’t come from our mother and pa. These are the microbes that reside inside our intestine. They reside in our mouth and our ears and our scalp and throughout us 100 Trillion of those microbes that decision the people as residence

So we actually are to giant extent this strolling speaking ecosystem inside the bigger ecosystem we name universe. And any level of time we disturb this ecosystem Whether or not we’re disturbing our oral microbiome or we’re disturbing our intestine microbiome. We in actual fact find yourself making our physique sick and the reason being as a result of our physique has come to depend on these microbes to offer the vitamins that our physique wants. They’re the sensors for the human physique. They actually are telling when there’s something dangerous is coming into the mouth, when one thing is bitter style, one thing is a nasty style, that it’s the sign they ship out, they are saying spit this factor out or vomit it out. That is simply no good for you, proper?

So all these signaling are carried out by these microbes which might be consistently interacting with the setting. So microbes and the setting work together collectively they usually work together with the human host that we’re as a bunch and these hundred million microbes that reside inside and on us.

What’s actually attention-grabbing in regards to the oral well being is it’s actually a gateway to our digestive system. We as people are actually like a donor. There’s a tube that goes by us and there’s a entire physique that’s round us. The start of the tube is our mouth the place all of our oral microbiome resides. And what’s actually attention-grabbing is that when it comes to the forms of microbiome, there’s extra variety of microbiome in our mouth regardless that the amount of microbes is decrease than our intestine. However they’re extra numerous set of microbiome in our mouth than they’re in our intestine.

And identical to intestine, what occurs in your mouth doesn’t keep within the mouth. It truly impacts not solely our intestine microbiome, but additionally affect us as human beings. Actually, now the oral well being is straight related to our cardiovascular well being. As most individuals might or might not know, our oral microbes are the first producer of nitric oxide. As , the nitric oxide is completely wanted for leisure of our vascular system and with out that, we may have coronary heart illness. And actually, it additionally improves your sexual well being, let’s simply say, , very clearly nitric oxide additionally will increase the blood movement. The nitric, along with the oral microbiome, is straight related to metabolism, particularly diabetes.

And lots of the microbes in our mouth are actually being straight related to Alzheimer. So when you may have leaky gums, as a result of our gums are the obstacles, when your gums are bleeding, all these microbes are actually going into the blood. And there’s a concept that these microbes are actually, in actual fact, infecting the blood-brain barrier, results in the mind, and that causes the an infection. And once they analyze the individuals who die from Alzheimer, they see an amazing quantity of P. gingivalis and gingipain being produced in lots of of those individuals who have Alzheimer.

Actually, lots of the oral microbes someday find yourself settling in our intestine. We, day-after-day, we as people are swallowing about 1.5 liter of saliva each single day. So meaning we’re swallowing all of these oral microbes that go into our intestine. Usually these microbes would die within the abdomen due to the acidity. So usually the acid within the abdomen would kill many of those microbes, it’s not most of them.

However, , as increasingly more persons are on anti-acid medicine and taking Nexium and Pepsid, now we don’t have sufficient acidity in our abdomen to kill these microbes and these microbes find yourself settling within the intestine. Actually, a few the microbes like Fusobacterium nucleatum, which is an oral microbiome, when it finally ends up settling within the intestine, turns into primary predictor of colorectal most cancers. So the colorectal most cancers in actual fact is attributable to Fusobactin nucleatum, which occurs to be an oral microbiome.

In order you possibly can see that regardless that we have now… we have now our kidney and we have now a coronary heart, these are all interconnected. It’s not that what immediately occurs in your mouth goes to remain within the mouth and what’s occurring within the intestine stays within the intestine. All of our techniques are interacting with one another. And we as human physique are additionally interacting with the setting. So we actually should care for our surroundings as a result of that additionally impacts who we’re.

Katie: Yeah, I really feel that is such an enchanting matter. I first bought into researching this a few years in the past, truly, after I came upon I had a number of small cavities and I used to be pregnant on the time, so I didn’t need to get them stuffed. And through that point I used to be pregnant, we ended up transferring and I bought a brand new dentist. And once they did the oral examination, I didn’t have cavities anymore. And till that time, I had been informed that cavities might by no means heal. So I used to be fascinated by what had occurred.

And I began researching and studying in regards to the oral microbiome and the way, simply to the touch on the floor stage of what you simply defined, there’s all these trillions of micro organism occurring within the physique, however within the mouth particularly, it looks like there’s competing micro organism and it may well go pathogenic in considered one of two methods. So it may well go in direction of the strep mutans space, which is the cavity forming micro organism or in direction of the gingivitis strains of micro organism. They usually’re each opportunistic. So that they don’t sometimes exist on the similar time. So that you’ll sometimes see one downside or the opposite. However that made me assume, after all, meaning we will hopefully nourish our good oral micro organism and that pertains to not simply cavities and gingivitis, however to, such as you mentioned, so many points of well being. And I really feel like this isn’t talked about practically sufficient.

So in your view, what are among the issues we will do to nourish the nice micro organism in our mouth? And what are some issues to keep away from to maintain the dangerous micro organism from getting too sturdy?

Naveen: In fact, so initially, as you possibly can see there, , folks take a look at the mouth as primarily as vainness. Oh, I’ve nice whitened enamel. And didn’t imply, and folks consider dangerous breath, oh, it’s only a dangerous, , it’s a nasty breath. It’s a symptom of issues already gone mistaken when you may have a nasty breath. The query actually you must ask your self is, what’s inflicting the dangerous breath to occur?

And it may well occur as a result of you may have a excessive sulfide manufacturing. So your mouth is begin to odor like this volcano, , sulfide, proper? So lots of the sulfide could be very dangerous smelling. So when you may have a excessive sulfide manufacturing by your oral microbiome, you odor like sulfide.

Or you possibly can be producing polyamine, which is one other, it’s like a rotten egg, principally. It’s like a rotten egg and you’ve got that odor. And now, apparently, similar sort of factor that you simply talked about, the S Mutants and P. gingivitis and lots of different of those organisms, in actual fact, begin to work collectively. So when there’s a biofilm being shaped in your enamel, it seems that many of those micro organism are hydrophilic. Which means they can not truly keep on with your enamel. So there are different micro organism that come alongside, they will keep on with the enamel, and that enables the opposite forms of micro organism to stay to those micro organism, they usually kind the movie, which is what we see after we get the plaque, and even after we get up within the morning, if you rub our tongue on the enamel, we get this slimy stuff. That’s your biofilm, proper?

Now to reply your query, what you are able to do is to essentially have the oral probiotic and oral prebiotic and oral postbiotic. And Katie, we, as , when in our full physique intelligence take a look at, we analyze your oral microbiome and the human gene expression on the similar time whereas we’re analyzing your intestine microbiome. And we’re additionally analyzing your blood so we will take a look at your mitochondria and we will additionally take a look at all of the genes which might be expressed on the human facet, together with your cytokines and every little thing else. And all three mixed permits us to see what is occurring in your physique. And till now, we have been capable of provide the intestine probiotics and prebiotics to repair your intestine. We have been capable of customized make the dietary supplements for you that will truly convey your physique again into the wholesome state.

And now within the subsequent, let’s see, mid-July, you’ll be capable to get the oral lozenges for us. They are going to be customized to you. So these oral lozenges will probably be customized to every particular person and they’ll be capable to regulate your oral microbiome, each from a probiotic, prebiotic and postbiotic perspective. That will probably be launching a customized toothpaste that will probably be made for you for AM and PM and that toothpaste once more goes to have all of the important oils, probiotics, prebiotics, the entire pure enzymes that your mouth wants to regulate the oral microbiome and one of many issues it’s going to do is to utterly take away the plaque on contact.

And we have now now over 30 peer reviewed research that exhibits clearly that by brushing with this customized gel, it removes the plaque on contact. So I’m simply tremendous excited that now we’ll be capable to regulate the oral well being of individuals, which can be a gateway to the human well being.

Katie: Yeah, and one thing else I really like to focus on in terms of this matter is lots of the issues after we speak about micro organism that individuals may instinctively assume to do in the event that they assume they’re fearful about micro organism can truly make the issue worse. So from my understanding, these mouthwashes that we will get on the grocery retailer which have lots of alcohol in it or actually sturdy antibacterial stuff, they will truly kill the nice micro organism too and really result in the dangerous micro organism getting additional out of steadiness. So I simply at all times like to focus on that. And I might love any enter you may have on that simply because I do know folks typically hear micro organism and wanna go rush to kill the micro organism. However such as you’re saying, that’s not at all times the most suitable choice.

Naveen: Nicely, initially, give it some thought. Your physique wants these micro organism and these microbiomes. So let’s go greater, an even bigger image. Bear in mind, the microbiome means micro means small, biome means residing life. So this microbiome is de facto not simply micro organism, it’s viruses, fungi, it’s mildew, it’s actually the entire stuff, yeast, the entire issues that we all know of, that we have now a primary ick issue, proper? Oh my God, I have to eliminate them. Guess what? We couldn’t reside with out them. They, in actual fact, are those in our intestine, in our mouth, that in our mouth, they pre-digest our meals. In our intestine, they actually ferment the fiber that our physique can not digest and in flip give us the vitamins our physique wants, comparable to short-chain fatty acid, which is butyrate and acetate and propionate. All of these items are carried out by microbiome.

Our microbiome produces vitamin Ok. Actually, with out the microbiome in our physique, you wouldn’t be capable to reside. Actually, after we do the testing on mice, mice, after we kill all of their intestine microbiome and the oral microbiome, principally they’re known as the mice that don’t have any microbes. They really don’t reside longer and they’re sicker on a regular basis. So our microbes truly maintain us wholesome and when the newborn is born to, the newborn is born by the delivery canal, it provides us a full publicity of microbiome to the newborn. Actually, the newborn, the microbiome is what’s draining the immune system for the newborn. So in actual fact, the infants get sicker as a result of their immune system now not doesn’t perceive to start with what’s a good friend, what’s a foe. And our microbiome is consistently coaching our immune system. And that’s why as they get grownup, they’ve a mature microbiome, the microbiome that’s truly working with them.

And sadly, the infants which might be born by C-section doesn’t typically get all of those microbes and that causes lots of the problems. So one factor you wanna be very clear is these microbes are your good friend. They aren’t your enemy. So taking antibiotics or taking a mouthwash that’s antibiotic mouthwash, you’re doing extra injury than good. Killing these microbes does injury to human well being interval. So don’t assume that merely doing a mouthwash to truly kill the micro organism that could be inflicting the dangerous breath, you might be doing your self a favor. You might be additionally eliminating the micro organism that’s gonna produce the nitric oxide that your physique wants. That’s what’s gonna produce lot of the pre-digestive enzymes that our physique wants to have the ability to digest and soak up the vitamins in our physique.

Katie: That’s an necessary level. And one factor I’ve talked about a bit of bit on right here earlier than, however I’ll clarify in a bit of extra depth to your level is we’re first inoculated with all that necessary intestine micro organism in the course of the birthing course of. And naturally, C sections are typically inevitable, like with my third. However one factor I realized was they will truly now do a swab of the mom’s micro organism and put it on the newborn even throughout a C-section. And the information I’ve seen on that’s actually fascinating so far as how that may truly assist infants have fewer charges of allergic reactions and eczema and lots of the issues that may include not getting that preliminary publicity.

I do know that additionally right here there’s that hyperlink between like we’ve talked about oral micro organism and the intestine micro organism. So I’d love to speak about any elements that assist to encourage each of these. As an illustration, one I’ve seen recurring within the literature is consuming a variety of meals, clearly meals that you simply don’t react to. But it surely looks like many individuals immediately are consuming a really slim vary of the identical meals time and again and that our guts are likely to thrive extra after we’re uncovered to all kinds of greens and herbs and spices that nourish the physique in numerous methods. However are you able to converse to that and any ideas for giving our micro organism or intestine micro organism what it must thrive?

Naveen: Positive. So Katie. I’m going to step again and simply possibly describe to the viewers, individuals who might not have heard me earlier than about what’s it that we do. So I’m Founder and CEO of Viome. That’s V as in Victor, I-O-M-E. Viome Life Sciences. And we’re, very first thing we do is we analyze your gene expression. We analyze your RNA. We don’t analyze your DNA. We take a look at RNA. And for the individuals who might not be accustomed to what’s the distinction between DNA and RNA. So DNA by no means adjustments, proper? So in the event you do a DNA take a look at for me immediately and I acquire 200 kilos and also you do my one other DNA take a look at, it’s nonetheless the identical. After which I grow to be diabetic and you are able to do my DNA remains to be the identical. Then I’ve melancholy, then I get nervousness, then I get coronary heart assault. and also you do my DNA take a look at once more, it’s the identical DNA. Actually, after I die, in the event you have been to do my DNA take a look at, but once more, years after I died, it’s nonetheless the identical DNA. We will nonetheless take a look at the DNA of fact in widespread or DNA of dinosaur. So the actual fact is your DNA can’t even let you know you’re lifeless or alive, not to mention you’re wholesome or sick.

What is consistently altering in your physique isn’t your DNA, however your RNA, your gene expression is at all times altering. And for the people who find themselves questioning what’s a gene expression, the way in which I’m able to perceive for myself is that each a part of our physique is similar DNA. So my hair has the identical DNA as my pores and skin, my eyes, my lungs, my coronary heart, my kidney, my nails, my fingers, every little thing is similar DNA. But, I don’t have the eyes rising on my finger and the nails rising on my head, similar DNA. And the reason being some genes are overexpressed, some genes are below expressed, completely different genes are expressed, so similar DNA could make any a part of our physique. It makes our neurons in our mind and it makes the lungs, similar DNA.

RNA is the story you might be writing, DNA is like an alphabet. So what Viome does is it begins from the start to grasp what’s going on in your physique. So that you begin with the saliva. So that you order a package at viome.com. And when you get that package at residence, you ship us a spit of your saliva, 4 drops of your finger prick blood, and a contact of your stool. After which we begin to truly do the whole RNA evaluation of every little thing you ship us. So we’re in your saliva, all your oral microbial gene expression. So we all know what are they producing. After which we take a look at human gene expression in your saliva. Equally, within the blood, we’re ready to have a look at all your mitochondrial gene expression and the human gene expression that comes out of your cytokines. Principally, these are the, , your immune system.

And within the intestine, we are actually all your 30 trillion microbes and we’re analyzing their gene expression to see what they’re producing. After which we’re wanting on the interplay between the entire microbial manufacturing, microbial metabolites and the human gene expression.

Now, as soon as we have now analyzed every little thing, we let you know what is occurring in your physique. So we’ll let you know what’s your organic age, which is how nicely are you getting older or how poorly are you getting older, proper? So my chronological age is 64 and I’m biologically now right down to 52 proper? Now think about after I’m years previous chronologically, I may very well be 40 yr previous biologically. So meaning my spouse by no means should search for a younger man as a result of she’s already married a younger man, proper? In order that’s actually the trick is that we may be biologically youthful and regardless that we are literally chronologically getting older.

We provide you with your immune well being, we provide you with your intestine well being rating, we provide you with your oral well being rating, we provide you with your cognitive well being, we provide you with your cardiac well being and we provide you with 50 plus in-depth insights into your physique. After which we let you know, listed below are the meals you shouldn’t eat, and right here is why. Eat these meals, and right here is why. So for instance, there isn’t a such factor as common wholesome meals. Spinach may be good for you. And actually, what we discover is of the folks, spinach truly harms you as a result of your intestine microbes are usually not capable of digest oxalates correctly. Now, in case your intestine microbes are producing lots of sulfide, and the sulfide causes lots of irritation, then we all know the one approach to produce excessive sulfide is that they want sulfate. And what are the meals excessive in sulfate? Broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts. So we are saying keep away from these meals.

Similar sort of factor, if we see you’re producing lots of ammonia, then we will say, hey, , your ammonia is coming from fermenting the protein. Which means you’re taking lots of protein that’s not being digested. And you’ve got two decisions. Take a digestive enzyme with that protein, or reduce down that protein. Equally, you possibly can take a look at uric acid and say, hey, don’t eat avocado, or don’t take vitamin B3, as a result of your uric acid manufacturing is just too excessive. Or don’t take curcumin in case your bile acid manufacturing is just too excessive. In order you possibly can see, there isn’t a such factor as common wholesome meals. And there’s no such factor as common wholesome complement. A similar meals may be good for you, or it may be dangerous for you, relying on what’s occurring in a microbe. So. One man’s meals is one other man’s poison, and the identical meals that’s good for you immediately may very well be dangerous for you six months from now as your microbes are consistently altering.

What we do apparently, Katie, is that when we notice what meals you want and what meals you shouldn’t eat, we additionally take a look at what vitamins your physique is presently missing. After which we will let you know that you simply want day-after-day milligram of elderberry, milligram of berberine, you want milligram of amylase. And we undergo each vitamin, mineral, herbs, digestive enzyme, meals extracts, probiotics, prebiotics, and we customized make that for every particular person. Which means there isn’t a pre-made stuff. We actually make the powder for every particular person each single month. We put that powder within the capsule and we customized make these capsules for each particular person each month and we ship it to you.

So you possibly can see that every little thing that you have to maintain your physique wholesome and every little thing you have to maintain the intestine wholesome is one thing we use to offer. And now we will probably be including to it the oral lozenges so you possibly can regulate the oral microbiome, the customized toothpaste so you possibly can regulate your oral microbiome. And we’re going to proceed doing increasingly more issues. So at some point we will analyze your pores and skin microbiome and make the customized cream that’s truly going to be designed for every person who’s going to be pores and skin cream. Think about in the event you can analyze your scalp microbiome. We will do a customized shampoo and customized hair conditioner for every particular person. And similar sort of issues, the meals which might be good for you. So we let you know each single superfood. Which means you want these superfoods. Now think about if we will make a superfood pack for every person who’s customized made for you. So that you’re not simply consuming the identical greens that everybody else is consuming. We take out the kale is dangerous to you or spinach is dangerous to your broccoli is dangerous to you. We will make the superfoods with solely the substances which might be superfoods for you and that will probably be a customized made superfood. So we actually are , Katie, from our perspective, what can we do to personalize and customise each single factor that human beings want to remain wholesome each single day.

Katie: Yeah, it’s undoubtedly tremendous complete what you guys are doing. And I’d additionally like to springboard onto that as a result of I’ve grow to be an enormous believer over time that we want that personalization and individualization. And I’ve spoken to that a lot of how we’re every so completely different. Such as you defined that we want customized inputs. And whereas we would hear from an knowledgeable who’s found out an important system, their system won’t work precisely the identical for us, however that there additionally do appear to be some issues which might be universally helpful to us as human animals and that we sadly can not or luckily can’t put in a tablet, which I might put issues like daylight and nature publicity and sleep in that class. Like we all know the information on morning daylight and the way that impacts our circadian rhythm, how vivid noon daylight and the pink mild and blue mild cost ourselves, how I’ve by no means heard a single knowledgeable in 700 podcast episodes say sleep isn’t completely very important to our well being.

So I might love to listen to your perspective from seeing all this information for hundreds of individuals. What are the opposite issues which might be free that we will do at residence that make these items simpler?

Naveen: Completely. So initially, , in the event you take a look at the longevity, there is sort of a hierarchy of wants and there are 5 issues that you have to keep wholesome and keep longer and keep longer, more healthy. Proper? So primary is vitamin. I’ve talked sufficient about vitamin with out the correct vitamin. Nothing issues. It’s like having a Ferrari, however not placing the fitting gas in that. So as soon as you bought within the vitamin taken care of, the subsequent step is definitely Katie, the stress, Stress Administration, proper? As a result of when your physique is below stress, it goes into combat or flight response. And sadly, when the physique is into the sympathetic mode, which is combat or flight response, it shuts down our digestive system. Bear in mind after we was in combat or flight as a result of we’ve been chased by a tiger, you don’t want to fret about truly digesting your meals since you’re about to grow to be a lunch for another person. Proper? And after we are pressured, our immune system truly stopped working as a result of it’s not, it’s not mandatory. Solely factor at that time mandatory is combat or flight. So meaning your physique is able to combat or able to run. And that’s the rationale if you’re below stress, nothing works.

People who find themselves below stress get sick extra usually. They can not digest the meals. So, , what do folks do? earlier than they eat, we do gratitude, we do prayers. Why can we try this? It’s as a result of it brings the physique again from a sympathetic mode to parasympathetic mode. So meaning you now not below combat or combat response. So you possibly can digest your meals. And that’s the rationale that culturally we’re capable of do the gratitude earlier than we eat. So it permits us to digest our meals.

The quantity three factor is train. Now, I’m not suggesting that we have now to spend 4 hours or eight hours within the gymnasium pumping iron, however all of us want to have the ability to do 45-minutes of quick strolling. Actually, if you will get 4, 5 miles, steps, a quick stroll, that’s ok for most individuals. As we grow old, it actually helps even to make use of your physique weight to do some muscle coaching. So whether or not you do push-up, you do pull-up, you are able to do squatting. I imply, it doesn’t require lots of tools. You are able to do it at residence. All the essential issues that you have to do to remain wholesome.

The quantity 4 factor is sleep. And there’s a lot information on sleep. Actually, it’s the high quality of sleep that issues simply as a lot as the amount of sleep. You could have to have the ability to get a minimum of one and a half hour of deep sleep and a minimum of one and a half hour of REM sleep. And since in the course of the REM sleep and deep sleep, not solely our physique is flooded with the fluid that really removes the rubbish from the mind, so it’s actually a cleansing drainage system that occurs after we are into the REM sleep or deep sleep. On the similar time, it additionally takes our short-term reminiscence, every little thing we study, and it truly strikes right into a everlasting reminiscence. So it takes a short-term storage from hippocampus and it begins to maneuver the reminiscence into our new cortex. So all that occurs throughout sleep. And actually, when individuals who don’t sleep nicely or sleep even 4 hours or 5 hours, they have an inclination to grow to be virtually as if they’re ingesting and their mind fog, their power, and the entire techniques are as if they’re drunk. So sleep is completely essential for human well being.

And the final half, Katie, is discovering the aim. It’s actually necessary that individuals who reside a lifetime of objective are likely to reside to years longer than the folks don’t have any objective. So do one thing that’s past you, simply good for you. Do one thing that’s significant for others. And the extra stuff you do to make different folks’s life higher, the higher you may be having a greater life, a more healthy life, and reside longer.

Katie: Yeah, I completely agree on that. I do know we’ve had many private conversations alongside these traces and that for each of us, an enormous a part of our objective is bettering the world for our youngsters and for future generations and our youngsters generally being an enormous focus.

I might truly love to speak about updates a bit of bit as a result of I’ve gotten to know your daughter a bit of bit not too long ago and he or she’s truly performing some work much like what you’re doing in, however with the vaginal microbiome, which is one other new and rising space of analysis. And I feel additionally essential to understanding this general microbial setting of the physique. So in the event you don’t thoughts converse a bit of bit and humble brag in your daughter a bit of.

Naveen: Nicely, truly, I’m going to have you ever, since about vaginal microbiome and the way necessary it’s to human well being, I’m going to have you ever speak about it and I’m going to let you know about what does it take to be an important mum or dad and the best way to increase youngsters in a fluent household and even in a middle-class household that they actually have this starvation to exit and do audacious issues.

Katie: So briefly, I’ll contact on what she does and I’ll make certain there’s a hyperlink within the present notes. For those who guys need to continue learning extra, they’ve lots of academic sources too. However I really feel like that is an space of drugs that has been largely ignored for an extended, very long time, as a result of for almost all of our recorded historical past, a minimum of nearly all of researchers and docs have been males. So it was a considerably neglected space.

However like we talked about earlier, we all know that the mother’s microbiome, together with her vaginal microbiome impacts a child’s lifelong well being. And so from my understanding, what your daughter’s doing is making testing out there at residence to the on a regular basis particular person to grasp what’s going on in their very own vaginal microbiome and the best way to enhance it, identical to we’ve talked about with the mouth, with the intestine. And I really feel like for ladies, this can be a actually necessary space that we now have entry to grasp at a deeper stage. And that equally will hopefully information us within the course of excellent practices that aren’t going to destroy our microbiome and that may assist us enhance it, which is particularly necessary for anybody who’s contemplating having a child. In order that’s her product and her firm. I’ll make certain it’s linked to as nicely.

However I do know a objective and a ardour you and I each deeply share is the significance of elevating children who’re type and who’re innovators and who additionally wanna assist make the world a greater place and that we’ve each taken some counterintuitive approaches to this and that we frequently get to match notes on it. I might say for me, it comes from beginning with a sort of expertise up versus information down method and what are the long-term objectives, the issues I hope to impart to them after which how do I greatest nurture that? And after we take a look at it by that lens, usually the issues that we might assume to do as dad and mom won’t truly be the very best method. And so I attempt to give attention to core qualities like creativity and pondering exterior the field and asking good questions and letting their motivation come from inside them versus me being their exogenous rule enforcer or motivation. However I really like if you speak about this. So let’s shift gears and speak about parenting a bit of.

Naveen: So initially, Katie, I’ve three youngsters and my oldest is Angkor and he runs an organization known as B-I-L-T, B-I-L-T. And he basically began this firm, Bilt Rewards, for one easy cause. He thought that many people who’re renting a spot won’t ever ever construct any fairness. We’re consistently maintain losing cash away. So he thought, what if he can create a bank card that has no annual price and you may pay the hire on a bank card and there’s no bank card price, so that you don’t should pay or bank card price. And you continue to earn the factors on each single spend that you simply do. And you should use these factors to truly pay the subsequent month hire or you should use them to purchase a house or you should use them one-on-one-on any airways you need, proper? Unbelievable what he did. And that firm inside a yr is now price over $1.5 billion. It’s processing over six billion already in lower than one yr as a result of he took on this audacious concept that would assist the entire center class of the nation. And he’s a Wharton grad.

And my daughter that you simply talked about, Priyanka, she went to Stanford. She’s the Stanford STEM fellow. She’s the Stanford Mayfield fellow. And the primary firm she did was truly use AI to take away the gender bias. After which she bought actually passionate in regards to the ladies’s well being. And what actually bought to her was as soon as she realized that it’s not the researchers are all males. The ladies weren’t even allowed to be within the scientific analysis till ‘93. Which means virtually each drug that girls takes immediately is rarely being examined on ladies. And there’s no marvel that it really works much less on ladies. Girls are identified seven years later for a similar illness. And the medicine have by no means truly examined on ladies that they even work on ladies. And she or he determined she was going to tackle this problem of ladies’s well being. And she or he began with a vaginal microbiome. And the corporate is known as Evvy. E as in Edward, V-V-Y, evvy.com. And… at residence take a look at for vaginal microbiome.

And what’s wonderful is that girls undergo by so lots of the vaginal illnesses, however they’re ashamed to go speak about that, proper? And she or he determined she’s gonna take the stigma off and actually enable ladies to grasp what’s going on and create a community the place they will now speak to a health care provider with the outcomes so they’re able to truly let you know, that is what you have to do and that is what’s actually occurring. And it seems the vaginal microbiome is the primary predictor of preterm delivery. It’s the primary predictor of the well being of the newborn. Along with clearly the intestine well being and the oral well being, it’s a key a part of the ladies’s well being in any respect.

And our youngest one, by the way in which, simply to finish, is Neil. And he’s additionally a Stanford grad, and he’s a Schwarzman scholar. And he’s working an organization known as Velen, which basically is totally rethinking how we purchase houses and the way we pay for our houses and mortgages. So actually all ends of the spectrum of constructing certain that they proceed to give attention to issues that may assist billions of individuals reside a greater life. As a result of I actually imagine the success is outlined by not how a lot cash you may have within the financial institution, however how many individuals’s lives you contact. Now, coming again on the parenting facet is that it’s counterintuitive. Every little thing that we imagine we’re doing it for them may very well be harming them. And all of us imagine that it’s the enforcer rule of a mum or dad, that taking them to the water and making them drink. And what I spotted was our job as dad and mom is to make them thirsty. And the way in which to make them thirsty is to make them intellectually curious. As soon as we create the curious children, they discover their very own water, and they’ll drink. And that mental curiosity is created by permitting them to imagine every little thing is feasible.

So we speak about, even when, as an alternative of studying them the story once they have been younger, I might ask them to inform me a narrative about three issues that I might discover that will by no means be related collectively. And I might ask them to inform me a narrative a couple of monkey, an ocean, and a palm tree. They usually should now join the issues collectively that couldn’t be related in the actual world.

And the rationale we did that was enable them to assume that how determined wanting issues can truly be related. And it permits them to create new neural connection of their mind. So they’ll ask, OK, dad, now you get to inform me a narrative a couple of glass and a leaf and a tree. And the way do you join all of them collectively? So level was that we’ll problem one another to attach the issues which might be by no means related.

Now equally, the opposite half was redefining success for them. So let’s say we at all times informed them their success will at all times be measured by what number of lives they enhance. We informed them that their self-worth isn’t gonna come from what they personal, however it comes from what they create. Which means you possibly can inherit some huge cash, however you’re nonetheless a parasite on society in the event you’re not doing something to contribute again to the society, proper? Different half that’s typically is most individuals, how would I say, name it very controversial. I really feel that youngsters need to see their dad and mom as a job mannequin. They don’t need to hearken to what they should say. They really watch them do the issues they do relatively than inform them the issues that they inform, proper? So it’s the youngsters truly do what they see you do, not what you inform them. So in the event you say, hey, cash doesn’t matter, and also you’re consistently chasing cash, they know, they see by that. For those who make some huge cash and also you say, look, I’m going to now sit at residence and never do the rest as an alternative of going out and persevering with to enhance the world. And then you definitely inform them, hey, guess what? Our objective in life to consistently enhance the world, however I’m sitting at residence watching CNBC. What occurs is children see by that. After they go to high school, in the event that they see the dad sitting at residence watching CNBC, they arrive again from faculty, I inform them, go work exhausting. Exhausting work is what it takes. And by the way in which, they see the dad sitting at residence watching CNBC. What are they pondering? I’m going to develop up identical to my dad did.

Then Katie after my first firm grew to become wildly profitable. I began the second firm, the third firm, and the fourth firm. After which I mentioned, we’re going to go to the moon and created Moon Specific to settle and bought a billion NASA contract. It began wild. Even the age of I wished them to see, age doesn’t matter. You may tackle an audacious problem, even within the space that you could be not know a lot about. And that’s actually the sensation I wished them to have. Simply because they’re non-experts, it isn’t their legal responsibility. Being a non-expert is their asset as a result of they’re able to problem every little thing that the specialists have taken it without any consideration. And that enables them to truly rethink, reimagine, and recreate one thing that no knowledgeable will do.

And I feel that is in all probability the saddest factor to say is that it doesn’t matter how good you might be, children thoughts, your dad and mom will at all times be morons. And the actual fact is our youngsters will at all times say, oh my God, daddy’s not even that good. If he can do that, we will do 10 occasions higher. So let’s go tackle even an even bigger problem than what daddy’s doing. And that to me is music to my ears. And the actual fact is you and I each have talked about it. Nothing brings us extra pleasure to our life than to see our youngsters do some wonderful issues, not simply earn a living, however actually exit and do issues that enhance different folks’s lives.

And I’ve met your children, Katie, and all I can let you know that you’ve been an unbelievable mom. You could have devoted your life to serving to them. You could have devoted your life to educating them in a approach that not solely they’re type and fantastic youngsters, they’re very good and really curious youngsters. And I met your son, and , I feel he’s going to do some nice issues in life. And I can’t watch for him to return even to an internship with us, or to a met, , if I might mentor him, as a result of I actually assume your children at some point are going to be not solely within the information, they’re going to vary the way in which folks reside their lives. I can’t wait to examine them and saying, God, I knew that they have been nonetheless in diapers.

Katie: Oh, thanks. And I really like that. I really like that you simply’re forward of me on the parenting curve so I can study from you. And I really like that we get to have these conversations and to echo your level, I feel I’ve realized that lesson time and again as a mother, the significance of modeling and the way, such as you mentioned, we will say issues all day lengthy, however it’s what we truly try this they take note of. And that’s the rationale us specializing in our personal well being and health as adults is so necessary as a result of that provides them permission to do it. It’s why us having our personal curiosity and persevering with to study new issues each single day is necessary as a result of that provides them permission to do it.

And I such as you approached the thought of parenting that they aren’t mine. I don’t personal them within the least that they’re every their very own infinite autonomous beings that I get the honour of being their mother on this lifetime and to go on this journey with them. However on the finish of the day, such as you mentioned, I hope that thirst comes from inside them and never as a result of they really feel expectation of me, however as a result of they’ve that curiosity and that want to assist those that hopefully they will study by my instance and thru the instance of so many different folks and thru wonderful books and thru pals such as you. So I really like that we at all times, it doesn’t matter what, we at all times ended up getting within the matter of parenting. I feel well being is after all extraordinarily necessary. And I might say parenting is equally necessary for these of us who’ve children. So I really like that we at all times get to go in that course.

Additionally a few final questions which might be extraordinarily egocentric for me as a result of I at all times love studying from you. The primary being: any ebook, a ebook or variety of books which have had a profound affect on you personally, and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.

Naveen: Nicely, , I learn all forms of books. And, , so these are going to be random books. I simply completed studying a ebook known as Existential Physics. And it talks about from a perspective of physics, when somebody dies, are they nonetheless alive? And it’s simply actually thought frightening concept. Is there a soul? Is there a multiverse? So this actually appears in any respect the issues we usually ask one another. And what’s actually attention-grabbing was that even when your grandmother you assume is lifeless, if somebody, and let’s assume she died years in the past, when somebody is definitely watching Earth from hundred mild years away, they’re nonetheless watching her stroll as a result of mild takes years to achieve them, they usually’re nonetheless watching her in her mid-40s and really mid-30s, having nice time on Earth. So far as they’re involved, she’s nonetheless alive. So the thought of this, whether or not somebody is alive or lifeless, whether or not they exist or don’t exist, can we as people truly are, exist in any respect as a result of everyone knows that we’re fabricated from atoms and atoms are fabricated from electrons and protons, they’re fabricated from quarts and principally we’re a bundle of power regardless that after we contact us we really feel stable however we all know it’s not, it’s simply power and our haptic senses are fooling us. So anyway that’s an important ebook when it comes to understanding from physics perspective what’s there, what isn’t there.

The opposite ebook I learn was Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins, and it actually talks about how our human mind works. What’s actually attention-grabbing in that ebook was, we at all times thought that our mind works like a neural community. It has a number of layers and every layer truly provides worth to the earlier layer. On this ebook, it talks about that each piece of our neocortex is a column, and every column can compute utterly, and it principally does the chance statistics and votes to say, is that this this or this? And it’s actually the polling that’s occurring within the mind that decides what is true and what’s mistaken. I believed it was a very attention-grabbing ebook.

The ebook, one other ebook that I simply completed studying is Why Sleep Issues by Matthew Walker, unbelievably nice sleep scientist and actually explains in nice element why sleep is so necessary and he’s related sleep straight causatively to metabolic issues like diabetes, weight problems and most cancers and lots of different illnesses that may straight be associated to individuals who truly get an absence of sleep and it may well causatively not simply affiliation however causatively how these items all join collectively. So I feel it was only a actually attention-grabbing ebook to see that why we attempt to imagine that it’s a macho factor to do to not sleep however it’s actually necessary to your well being to truly get a superb night time’s sleep.

Katie: I’ll add all three of these to my studying record and in addition to the present notes for you guys listening. They’ll be at wellnessmama.fm together with hyperlinks to Viome and Evvy and all the opposite issues we’ve talked about. And lastly, Naveen, any parting recommendation for the listeners immediately that may very well be associated to one thing we’ve talked about or totally unrelated life recommendation?

Naveen: Nicely, I feel to me is that by no means cease dreaming. And I feel lots of people round you’ll at all times begin to convey you down and let you know, simply since you’re a lady, you can not try this. Simply since you’re brown, you can not try this. Simply since you come from this poor background, you can not try this. Or simply as a result of you don’t have any information of this business, you can not try this. The very fact is, don’t let somebody outline who you might be. The way in which I simply, , for me is fall in love with your self as a result of the day you fall in love with your self is the day the world will fall in love with you. You don’t want another person’s approval so that you can pursue your desires. The dream’s so huge that individuals assume you’re loopy and at all times keep in mind that you solely fail if you hand over and also you, , your concept might or might not work, however each concept that doesn’t work is just a stepping stone to a special concept and an even bigger concept. So my recommendation at all times is, … Fall in love with your self, pursue your desires, and don’t let anybody ever let you know which you can’t do them.

Katie: I feel that’s an ideal place to wrap up for immediately. Naveen, it’s at all times a pleasure to have a dialog with you. Thanks a lot to your time and for sharing immediately.

Naveen: Thanks Katie, it’s at all times an honor and a pleasure and I at all times get pleasure from your optimistic power and love speaking about your youngsters.

Katie: Oh, nicely, thanks. And thanks as at all times to all of you for listening and sharing your most respected sources, your time, your power, and your consideration with us immediately. We’re each so grateful that you simply did. And I hope that you’ll be a part of me once more on the subsequent episode of The Wellness Mama Podcast.
