How social is your toilet?

Eric Rieger  
All right, you have now joined the gut check project. This is episode number 27. I'm here with your host, Dr. Kenneth Brown. I'm Eric Rieger. It's 2020.

Ken Brown  
We're in a new decade. This is unbelievable.

Eric Rieger  
So that's interesting. Some people will say that the decade does not begin on years that end in zero, because when the calendar started, there was no Year Zero. It was let's have a year this is year one. So lots of people end up saying technically a decade doesn't start to the ones but nobody talks that way. When you say the roaring 20s it started 1920. So I'm on board with you. I think this is the beginning of a new decade.

Ken Brown  
How did you...I mean, how could you say when you were born when it was BC, were you like I'm minus 20?

Eric Rieger  
Yep, that's pretty much what they did. 

Ken Brown  
Is that what they did? Yeah, they'd just walk up...

Eric Rieger  
In 745 years they will begin to count. I think that's how it went down.

Ken Brown  
Is that how the whole the whole calendar went down? Like All right, everybody, we're starting over. 

Eric Rieger  
Yeah, y'all are gonna love this. There's gonna be a Messiah. We're gonna start counting it's gonna be great. 

Ken Brown  
I love it. 

Eric Rieger  
Well, today's episode of course is brought to you by Atrantil developed by the guy right across the table from me Atrantil is a daily source of polyphenols to address issues of symptoms related to IBS, as well as definitely bloating. 

Ken Brown  
You know what I'm really getting into also is all the new information coming out with polyphenols in sports performance. Talking about how polyphenols actually can improve blood flow by increasing nitric oxide. I can't wait till we can start working with some endurance athletes and start testing them to see if we can get some new prs and some of these people.

Eric Rieger  
Hundred percent! 

Ken Brown  
If you're running some marathons. If you think about it, if you're an endurance athlete, like a triathlete or something, you know, I got my good friend Ron Tribendis who has his own podcast also tremendous chiropractor and he's like high level performance and all that he actually sells Atrantil. But we were talking about that, that, you know, he gets so many of his clients that he trains and that are his patients that when they start training for these triathlons and marathons and they're taking in all that goo and the high fructose stuff to try and or not even just the fructose based sugars to try and gain fuel from it. That's when they start having gi distress. I feel like we can help all those people.

Eric Rieger  
Definitely it's interesting that you bring that up right off the bat because at CPSDA and the reason why this is important is Atrantil is chock full of polyphenols. That's where the magic is. So that's why discussing Atrantil leads us to talking about athletes and when I was at CPSDA about a year and a half ago. Joe Votel

Ken Brown  
The PhD

Eric Rieger  
The PhD from Exeter University over in Europe. She came over and they've done extensive research on multiple different research opportunities where they've shown that daily polyphenol intake and athletes will decrease recovery time, increase blood flow, just as you pointed out, increase nitric oxide production. These are things that serious athletes love to know. And it's, it's natural. Even more importantly, though, you can always say, get rest, or eat polyphenols or have some fruits. But ultimately, when someone wants to do it, it's how much? And she was able to show that pre no, I'm sorry, proanthocyanidins, at 1000 milligrams per day was an optimal dose for active athletes. So anyhow...

Ken Brown  
If you want it to get that, I mean, what would I have to eat? If it was like cherries or something. 

Eric Rieger  
If you wanted to have that. This was her example. It's awesome. She showed that you would probably have to have four to five bowls of cherries or blueberries. Good fruits. Unfortunately, there's a lot of high fructose or not high fructose. There's a lot of fructose that's in there. And serious athletes oftentimes don't want to over load their daily sugar even if it happens to occur naturally now-separate debate. But she she quickly pointed out that if you could consume proanthocyanidins that did not have high fructose content, you'd have something magical and just so happens that Atrantil four capsules roughly equals 1000 milligrams of proanthocyanidins...

Ken Brown  
I've actually had a lot of patients tell me that they do better. Oh, one thing we're going to start doing in 2020, and we're going to go back. Let's just do a little disclaimer here. Although I am a real doctor. 

Eric Rieger  
Yeah. 

Ken Brown  
Do not take this as medical advice for that weird rash or that unusual, extra toe growing out or something. Go see a doctor, don't listen to us. We're here to have fun, possibly educate a little bit but more importantly, help everyone to discover some new things because that's what we want to do. We want to find new things in the literature, new things that are coming out and make sure that everyone can biohack in the way that we have tested on ourselves. So

Eric Rieger  
Definitely. So find Atrantil at antrantil.com or lovemytummy.com is much easier to remember, forward slash kbmd Atrantil lovemytummy.com/kbmd. Not just for bloating, it's also for athletes. It's really for everyone.

Ken Brown  
It really is. And so that's how I mean it's...this is fun. In fact, this brings me up to something so I just shot a video for this. We have a new website that has launched

Eric Rieger  
finally,

Ken Brown  
Finally! So go to kbmdhealth.com. Check it out, give us your feedback. There's going to be a video there where I kind of get into the things that I like the things that I like our biohacking CBD, I'll try and deal with polyphenols and making sure that you can have access to some of the best vetted supplements meaning a lot of the stuff that people are buying may not actually benefit you or may have something dangerous in it. In fact, there was um, I need to find out what she had. But there was a news article here in the DFW Metroplex, a very unfortunate 23 year old, who was taking some woman's multi weight management. They didn't say the name of the product or what was in it. 

Eric Rieger  
Sure. 

Ken Brown  
But unfortunately, they believe that that actually caused daily drug induced liver injury. So that's one of the things when I've had patients come in, and you find out that they're on a supplement, but that supplement is not third party tested or that supplement is coming in from someplace else. Anything can happen to anybody. I understand that you can have a bad reaction, you can have an allergic reaction to something but make sure that you're at least if you're going out trying some different things to make sure it's third party tested, which is why we have the kbmd health subscription box. 

Eric Rieger  
Yeah, we, definitely you can find that health subscription box prominently located on the right side of the new kbmchealth.com. 

Ken Brown  
I think it looks so nice. You did an excellent job. 

Eric Rieger  
I did not do that. That was was the help of Stephen and people that understand how to build websites. So our bad website that we had before was me. And we moved over to a real one. 

Ken Brown  
Which is an awesome website for CRNA.

E...
