In this episode, as in episode 41, I answer 3 more questions from a podcast listener:
Before I start answering these questions, I would like to let you know that you can now book my Darmglück online course again. It's currently available at a very reasonable price, which will be significantly increased over the next few weeks.
So if you'd like to join now at the original price, please go to www.darmglück.com (spelled with an "ü") and see if it appeals to you.
Here comes the first question from Kathrin:
Hello! Thank you so much for your fantastic podcast, which I listen to regularly. I bought an e-book, which raises more questions and makes me skeptical. Maybe you can answer a few questions for me. Is it true that quinoa, lentils and beans are bad for the gut? If so why?
It's always hard to answer questions about nutrition in general without me knowing what your complaints are or what the background to the question is.
Quinoa, lentils and beans can actually cause problems in the gut, mainly because of the plant anti-nutrients they contain. This is a kind of "poison" that the plants create to stun insects or other predators and stop them from eating them. We humans are of course much larger than such small animals, so we don't notice this poison directly, but if intestinal problems are already present, then it may well be that such legumes or quasi-cereals prevent the intestines from being brought back into balance. That's why I recommend leaving them out at the beginning if you want to rebalance your gut. With an emphasis on "in the beginning"
Kathrin continues:
Do you have any good books that you can recommend?
Of course, it's difficult to recommend books if I don't know exactly on which topic. I assume that it's about the gut and nutrition. But I also list a few books on the subject of personal development. I would like to mention that the Amazon links are affiliate links and I receive a small commission for recommendations.
The Big Book of Paleo Nutrition, by Diane Sanfilippo. In the first part, she gives a really good, clear and simple description of how our digestion and gut work.

Dr. David Perlmutter: Scheissschlau (stupid title in German, unfortunately) It's about the connections between the gut and brain

I also really like Giulia Enders: Darm mit Charme because it describes many connections from the gut very clearly and there are also beautiful illustrations

Kathrin's last question is:
Can your Gut Happiness program also be followed by children?
Yes, in principle there is nothing to be said against it, it's not that children need a different diet than adults. It is certainly important that the parents accompany the child and ideally also take part themselves. And there are probably also lessons, especially those about lifestyle and mindset, that are not so child-friendly. But then it's up to the parents to implement this themselves and perhaps deduce certain things for the child.
I've often received feedback that mothers have listened to my podcast together with their teenager and that the teenagers were able to follow along well and even enjoyed the podcast, which of course made me happy.
If you're interested in Darmglück: I'll be increasing the price of the course soon, so it would definitely be good to book it as soon as possible to benefit from the old price.

Now I recommend that you subscribe to the podcast so that you don't miss an episode, and if you like what you hear, I'd really appreciate a review on iTunes or Apple Podcast. Because these reviews also help other people find the podcast so we can spread the knowledge about gut and health more.
In this episode, as in episode 41, I answer 3 more questions from a podcast listener:
- Are quinoa and legumes bad for the gut and if so, why?
- Are there any books that I recommend?
- And: can the Darmglück formula also be used by children?
Before I start answering these questions, I would like to let you know that you can now book my Darmglück online course again. It's currently available at a very reasonable price, which will be significantly increased over the next few weeks.
So if you'd like to join now at the original price, please go to www.darmglück.com (spelled with an "ü") and see if it appeals to you.
