Health Author Dr. Josef Arnould: Build an Army of Good Gut Bacteria, Greens Instead of Grains & Exercise to Prevent Entropy
“If you don’t have good gut health, then you don’t have good health.” Dr. Arnould is a chiropractor and the author of American Diet Revolution and has helped thousands of people improve their health and today he is sharing his advice with us.
The link between a healthy body and a healthy mind is something that has been studied and proven for years now. What many people do not fully comprehend is just how much exercise affects the health of both your mind and spirit and the way entropy sets in without physical activity. “What’s going on in your mind is inextricably bound up with what’s going on in your body. We should be eating greens instead of grains.”
The state of your stomach bacteria can prevent or cause disease and affect even your brain. Bacteria in your stomach can send signals to the brain through the tenth cranial nerve. Unhealthy bacteria can wreak havoc and cause, for instance leaky gut syndrome and ulcers. Some people call the gut the second brain. These connections correlate to your feelings and the choices you make, and ultimately affect your quality of life on many levels. “Good health is a form of independence.”
Dr. Arnould has been working on this exercise-mind-spirit relationship as well as researching gut and brain health for over 40 years now. He comes from Iowa and studied English at Princeton University and then at Framingham State University, before returning to Iowa to get his doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic. He then moved to Massachusetts and opened his first clinic there in 1983, where he still lives and runs his chiropractic practice and strength training/rehabilitation centre.
Other topics covered include: What the lungs of a 30-year smoker taught him about the possibilities for life extension, how he can feel physical weakness and ageing develop over the years in patients, the link between lower back pain and depression, his diet and workout routine, why the humble sauerkraut is so important and the dangers of letting bad bacteria take over.
Dr. Arnould is also the father of host Caitlin Arnould, who performs the interview.
