Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut

Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut - Review

This Netflix documentary explores the fascinating world of gut health and its impact on our well-being.

Renowned gut specialist Dr. Giulia Enders MD, collaborates with neuropsychology, epidemiology, neuroscience, and microbial ecology experts. Dr. Enders guides us into the intricate relationship between dietary choices, gut health, and brain function.

The Gut’s Role

The film explains how our gut works and emphasizes the importance of a diverse diet. Using cute and colorful animations, it clarifies how the microbiome develops after birth.

Dr. Enders reminds us that our gut is flexible and changes based on our eating. A diversified diet is vital to nourish the microbial community within our gut.

Missing Expertise

Unfortunately, the documentary lacks input from registered dietitian nutritionists. While culinary expertise is valuable, specialized food and dietary science professionals are essential.

A registered dietitian could have provided personalized nutrition guidance. This would be especially important for individuals recovering from eating disorders.

Practical Takeaways

The film encourages listening to our body cues, eating when we're hungry, and stopping when we're satisfied. It also introduces the "ABC"—Always Be Counting. It encourages you to count your fruit and vegetable intake during the week. The ideal would be to reach 20-30, but you can start with 10-15 to get used to it.

This diet diversification supports gut microbes, which play a transformative role in healing both body and mind.

Our Gut as a Second Brain

Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut sheds light on the “second brain”—our gut—and its profound impact on our overall health.

While watching it is very enlightening, I would advise you against major dietary changes on your own. Look for a registered dietitian nutritionist for personalized eating plans.
