Medication Recall | Gut Bacteria | Poop Transplants

WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.879 Oh Hey, what's up? Thanks for coming. If you're new here, 2 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:10.630 I'm johnny emotions and I'd like to welcome you to the EMO Dojo. Today 3 00:00:10.669 --> 00:00:18.070 we're going to talk about the importance of your gut microbe fecal transplants. Yeah, 4 00:00:18.109 --> 00:00:21.940 you heard that right. And first we're going to get to a medicine 5 00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:27.179 recall. So please step on in. There's a few people here already. 6 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:37.170 This is emo do Joe. All right. Well, the Medicine Update. 7 00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:46.250 There is a recall on some pharmaceutical prescription meds. If you take trazodone for 8 00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:53.960 depression or Viagra for soft penis, there was a mix up at the factory. 9 00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.640 TRAZODONE got put in the packaging for Viagra and vice versa. So double 10 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.430 check that, because you know, if you have my Coxsa flopping and you 11 00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:14.950 expecting to get a boner with your pill, that trazodone will make you depressed 12 00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:21.299 because it might actually make your Dick Softer. And a side effect of Trazodone, 13 00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:26.060 especially for people that aren't like necess ace saily depressed, likely is depression 14 00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:33.170 itself. Boy. And then, of course, conversely, if you were 15 00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:37.049 depressed and you took something you thought was trasitone and all of a sudden your 16 00:01:37.129 --> 00:01:40.930 dicks ared. Well, I don't know how that's going to make you feel. 17 00:01:41.409 --> 00:01:44.170 At any rate, that's not a joke. That actually happened. And 18 00:01:46.849 --> 00:01:52.280 just a minute we will get to the stories I just read about your gut, 19 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:59.239 microbe and fecal transplants. It's pretty fascinating, but first let me just 20 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:04.909 catch you up on what what's been up lately. I've kept doing the neurostimulation 21 00:02:05.870 --> 00:02:10.509 for my head, still doing that religiously daily. I got super busy with 22 00:02:10.629 --> 00:02:15.020 work, so I haven't been able to connect with can, the inventor of 23 00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:19.340 the lifted, but that's my fault, so not his fault at all. 24 00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:23.460 Just been busy, overwhelmed, I guess that's the right word. Also, 25 00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:29.419 so, man, I bit the inside of my cheek minute ago. One 26 00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:34.330 of my inside teeth, tooths, is kind of Jaggedy, kind of chipped 27 00:02:34.370 --> 00:02:38.169 off, and it's sharp and a bit down on the inside of my left 28 00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:40.050 cheek and of course, when you bite down on it, crunch into it, 29 00:02:40.129 --> 00:02:44.319 then it protrudes a little bit where the little scar is now that you 30 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:49.960 bit into, which makes it that much easier to bite. So I'm having 31 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.879 a problem with either to drive mouth or two wet of mouth. It's it. 32 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.710 The the adjusters all fucked up right now, but that's what happens when 33 00:02:58.750 --> 00:03:00.990 I get mad at you know, like you don't pay attention and you'd bite 34 00:03:01.030 --> 00:03:06.229 your own fucking tongue. Its horrible and in this case I bit my own 35 00:03:06.229 --> 00:03:10.310 cheek. So when you have mood swings and mood disorders, a lot of 36 00:03:10.389 --> 00:03:16.819 times you'll look back, especially if you records your behavior or, you know, 37 00:03:16.939 --> 00:03:22.219 journal or do whatever things like that, just document daytoday stuff. Part 38 00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:24.500 of how I do that is through podcasting, and I'm able to listen back 39 00:03:24.539 --> 00:03:29.289 to the old podcast. Honestly, I don't normally listen back to the old 40 00:03:29.330 --> 00:03:32.289 podcast because I know some of them will make me cringe and I often wonder 41 00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:37.969 should I just delete the old ones? I don't know. What are your 42 00:03:38.009 --> 00:03:42.599 thoughts on that, because I don't mind having what they call ephemeral content that 43 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.000 just as there and disappears. I just need to get it out out of 44 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.280 my head, you know. So that's one thought. Is maybe just because 45 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.909 here, like when I went through that crisis, like for pretty much all 46 00:03:55.990 --> 00:04:02.110 of November, it was like pretty traumatic and it's uncomfortable for me to go 47 00:04:02.189 --> 00:04:04.990 back and listen to those. So I'm not sure if I should even leave 48 00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:11.060 them up, because then people like my neme Isis this, might use them 49 00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:15.579 against me. Not Saying I'm paranoid, but I'm several people that I wish 50 00:04:15.779 --> 00:04:19.699 did not listen to me. I wish I could block them, but you 51 00:04:19.740 --> 00:04:24.769 can't block podcast listeners. Yeah, I guess I don't know. You know, 52 00:04:24.889 --> 00:04:28.610 people go to pretty great lengths to undermine others for no good reason, 53 00:04:28.810 --> 00:04:33.050 really no outwardly rational reason, let's put it that way. Everybody has what 54 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:36.930 they think is a good reason. For sure, a lot of people just 55 00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:41.759 don't think. They don't even think of the rationale why they're even acting the 56 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.079 way they're acting. Anyway, what I'm saying is I don't necessarily trust all 57 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.959 the people that listen to my podcast, and I don't think they. I 58 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.759 think there's a handful of them that have less than good intentions for me. 59 00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:56.829 But yeah, I don't care. The benefit of me sharing and just getting 60 00:04:56.829 --> 00:05:00.430 it off my chest outweighs that at all. Getting back to it, should 61 00:05:00.430 --> 00:05:04.709 I just leave old episodes up forever or just fucking like leave a week's worth 62 00:05:04.750 --> 00:05:09.660 up and then just delete them or put them behind a pay wall? I 63 00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:12.060 don't know. I don't like doing things by the book. I just want 64 00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:15.540 to reinventce everything I do all the time. What do you think of the 65 00:05:15.620 --> 00:05:18.019 high coup show notes? Do you even read the show notes? Does anybody 66 00:05:18.060 --> 00:05:24.449 read the show notes? This particular podcast gets transcribed automatically now, so I 67 00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:29.089 don't really need show notes in that context because people can go to the podcast 68 00:05:29.089 --> 00:05:34.290 page like you emo dojocom and Click on and scroll down there's the transcription for 69 00:05:34.370 --> 00:05:39.000 the whole fucking podcast. So I don't really need show notes in that sense 70 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.040 because I'm not trying to organize things. I don't it's just not what not 71 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.839 with this art project is about really, but I did want to add some 72 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.069 art and extra challenge to the production. That's why I like the idea of 73 00:05:50.269 --> 00:05:56.389 high coup show notes. But in hindsight I think I might do Hiku show 74 00:05:56.470 --> 00:06:00.310 notes but make the title normal. Do you know what I mean? Because 75 00:06:00.310 --> 00:06:06.459 I'm not sure if the HIKU title was attractive enough to the average new person. 76 00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:12.060 It might have been a little weird. You could or should let me 77 00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:15.819 know what you think on that, and it would be helpful. If not 78 00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:18.689 I'm just going to do it my way. I'll probably just do it my 79 00:06:18.769 --> 00:06:21.370 way anyway, but right now I don't know what my way is and you 80 00:06:21.529 --> 00:06:26.529 could influence me. So let me know. Hiku show notes as the title 81 00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:30.490 or just lower down in the show notes, because I sure as hell not 82 00:06:30.730 --> 00:06:33.959 write an actual show notes, like in this episode, to talk about this 83 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:40.160 and that and fucking that and the other thing. No, I don't think 84 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:44.079 so. It would be nice to have a producer. You see all the 85 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.670 podcasters, I mean Vloggers, people video shows on Youtube and stuff and like, 86 00:06:48.829 --> 00:06:50.430 Oh yeah, I want to do that. Well, a lot of 87 00:06:50.509 --> 00:06:55.870 those people have staff, you know, staff, staff, like to three 88 00:06:55.910 --> 00:06:59.589 people. Sometimes they're on screen, sometimes they're not on screen. It's a 89 00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:02.139 lot of work to put this together. Since I do it alone, I 90 00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:06.459 rely on your input to make it more listenable for you. Otherwise I'm just 91 00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:15.699 you, just witnessing art project kind of dynamically as it happens. Man, 92 00:07:15.730 --> 00:07:23.449 I don't know if it's that neurostimulation device, transcranial electro fuck, I forgot 93 00:07:23.490 --> 00:07:28.490 the whole name. Basically it's APPs your brain with low voltage electricity, but 94 00:07:28.569 --> 00:07:32.759 I've been doing it regularly and more than it says to on the box, 95 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:39.319 because, yeah, I'm a risk taker and you know, if it doesn't 96 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.480 work a little bit, try a little more. That's what I always say. 97 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.589 Anyway, now I've been using the electro stimulation device and something change. 98 00:07:46.629 --> 00:07:54.509 I don't know if it is the fucking astrology or Zapping my brain or realization 99 00:07:54.790 --> 00:07:59.180 of a situation that I thought was one thing is actually a different thing. 100 00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:01.459 And sometimes when you catch a glimpse of reality, it's like, Oh, 101 00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:05.100 what a fucking relief. That's it, that's that's the thing. Okay, 102 00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:11.259 I can deal with that. But if you're presented with an alternate reality and 103 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:16.329 you believe it's real and then it falls apart, that's traumatic and that's kind 104 00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:20.810 of what I dealt with all of last month, including, like nobody to 105 00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:24.769 spand Thanksgiving with, which sucks. But you know, I'm sure everyone out 106 00:08:24.769 --> 00:08:28.639 there's like, oh, yeah, but that's great, you didn't get coronavirus. 107 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.720 And yes, of course I did not get coronavirus over thanksgiving. So 108 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.799 cool, great, can make another podcast, I guess. So let's talk 109 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:46.350 about gut, microbiome, Microbiota. I'll use microbiome. I'm not entirely sure 110 00:08:46.429 --> 00:08:52.149 those two terms are interchangeable, but we're talking about the the bacteria in your 111 00:08:52.190 --> 00:08:56.259 guts. Okay. So here's what they found out. They were studying mice, 112 00:08:56.340 --> 00:09:03.299 as they do. They stress some mice out and they found out that 113 00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:11.490 when they stress a mouse out, it's guts secrete a certain fat, alyppic 114 00:09:11.570 --> 00:09:18.009 acid, gets secreted into the blood stream via your guts, your intestines, 115 00:09:18.970 --> 00:09:24.279 which, remember, have just as many neuroreceptors as your brain, more actually 116 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.600 of the same type. In fact, if you look at your guts, 117 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.399 it's kind of like a brain in your belly. So, anyhow, when 118 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.480 they stress the mice out, their guts secreted lippic acid, went into their 119 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.870 blood stream, went up to their brain. Their brain then reacted to the 120 00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:48.389 stress signals coming from their belly and tried to correct doing whatever the brain thought 121 00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:54.019 was necessary. Well, that's where the disorders, mood disorders, come in, 122 00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:58.580 specifically depression. Is What they were studying with the mice, and so 123 00:09:58.779 --> 00:10:01.100 there is a mechanical process to it. You get stressed out, your gut 124 00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:07.370 secrete fat, the whole mixture affects your brain and now your brain goes hey, 125 00:10:07.409 --> 00:10:16.730 why are trying to fix the overall problem. So some of you may 126 00:10:16.769 --> 00:10:22.759 have heard of this technique called fecal transplant, where they take healthy poop and 127 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:31.039 put it in the guts of somebody with an unhealthy system and it can reset 128 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.950 them. Sounds gnarly, sounds Gross, and I don't I mean when you 129 00:10:37.029 --> 00:10:41.029 say fecal transplant, you just I imagine, like a Dukey somehow stuck sticking 130 00:10:41.070 --> 00:10:46.149 it up from one guy's buddy into another person's but like that sounds gross, 131 00:10:46.230 --> 00:10:48.350 but obviously it's not that. It's not as gross as I imagine it. 132 00:10:48.429 --> 00:10:54.860 It's very microscopic. It doesn't take much. So we already know, and 133 00:10:56.059 --> 00:11:03.379 other tests about other things, that weekend fix bad gut microbiome with good poop 134 00:11:03.179 --> 00:11:09.450 from someone else. Well, in this case with the mice, they took 135 00:11:09.169 --> 00:11:15.970 mice with mood disorders now because they were stressed out because their poop had that 136 00:11:16.769 --> 00:11:20.919 lactic basilic in it, and then they put the stressed out poop in a 137 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:28.159 healthy mouse and the healthy mouse got a mood disorder. How about that? 138 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.509 So I recap, they took a mouse with the mood disorders poop and put 139 00:11:33.549 --> 00:11:41.830 it in a healthy mouse and the healthy mouse got a mood disorder. So 140 00:11:41.549 --> 00:11:46.779 then the next step seems like, how about if we can fix the mood 141 00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:52.899 disorders with healthy poop? Would you do that? Would you fix your depression 142 00:11:52.940 --> 00:12:01.490 by having somebody else's fetal matter transplanted into your guts? I'd have to hear 143 00:12:01.570 --> 00:12:09.289 some eyewitnesses and patients who have gone through it first, but I would consider 144 00:12:09.370 --> 00:12:15.879 it because mood disorders are fucking miserable. You get so goddamn sensitive and like 145 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.399 right now I'm in that part of my mood disorder where I hate my other 146 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.080 self. I'm like, what a fucking pussy like? Man Up, quit 147 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.159 being so fragile. So you have to deal with that. That's the thing 148 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.759 we have to deal with. We have to do like with the self hatred 149 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.950 of the other guy. It's not like a split personality thing. I don't 150 00:12:31.950 --> 00:12:37.190 think that was literally another personality another person it just that when you're in the 151 00:12:37.350 --> 00:12:41.149 mood of that, you're stuck in. It's kind of like when you have 152 00:12:41.269 --> 00:12:43.460 the flu or something, or when you're about to sneeze. You can't control 153 00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:46.940 the sneeze. It happens. It just happens when you have the flu or 154 00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:50.179 something, when you're sick, you're just fucking sick. And you react the 155 00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:54.700 best you can while you're while you're in it. Then you get better and 156 00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:58.769 then most people don't hate themselves because they got the flu, but people with 157 00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:05.049 mood disorders often times hate ourselves because of the way we were previously. And 158 00:13:05.210 --> 00:13:09.889 after a while, when you worn out all your loved ones, there's no 159 00:13:09.049 --> 00:13:13.159 one to reflect off of. So you don't even know how to handle crawling 160 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.480 out of the hole. You don't even know if you're doing it right. 161 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.759 So it just becomes exponentially harder. So you have to get tough. You 162 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.200 just got to keep trying, keep trying. So anyway, it's Sunday. 163 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.230 Going to get back on it, Monday, tomorrow. It's snowed last night. 164 00:13:28.470 --> 00:13:31.909 Got About I don't know, three or four inches of snow on the 165 00:13:31.990 --> 00:13:35.950 ground. Probably be melted by the morning, but I'm sure the roads are 166 00:13:35.950 --> 00:13:41.100 going to be Shit Sho so I hope your week starts off well and thanks 167 00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:50.820 for joining me in the EMO Dojoe. And now back to the wall.
