The Gut-Brain Connection: The Link Between Food And Mental Health

The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

05/12/24 • 19 min

How could food possibly affect mental health? That doesn't make sense. How could something we put in our mouths possibly have anything to do with our moods? Just so happens that our minds and our guts are more connected than we previously thought.

Our brain relies on 3 specific chemicals, called neurotransmitters, to convey chemical messages that we then translate into moods and emotions. You've probably heard of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline). They play an important role in mood regulation and are the target of most of our medications we use to treat mental illness. But we also have other important mechanisms that influence our mental well-being.

Although worlds apart, the gut and the brain are completely intertwined. More than 95% of serotonin receptors are actually in the gut, not the brain. It’s no surprise that medication used to treat depression and to increase serotonin can have side effects related to gastro-intestinal upset. Our brain and gut both originate from the same cells in the embryo, and although they separate themselves from each other physically, they remain attached through the vagus nerve and through chemical signaling from bacteria residing in our colon. Wait, what? Bacteria in our colon have an impact on our moods? Yes, you read that correctly.

My Bizarre, Yet Remarkable Origin Story

The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

06/24/23 • 24 min

I had been suffering from a combination of chronic diseases for a long time, but even this wasn't enough to make me change. I thought I was living a healthy life. I was exercising regularly and eating what I thought was a balanced diet.
When my daughters started showing signs of medical conditions similar to the ones that had been plaguing me, I knew I had to start thinking out of the box.
Here's my story. I went from the hospital to the world championships, from not even being able to run a few kilometers without puffers to running my first sub-2 hour half marathon without any puffers at all.
Everything pointed towards a whole food, plant-predominant diet. Here's how a managed to transition my whole family and reverse our medical conditions in the process.

The Pros and Cons of Dairy

The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

09/08/24 • 42 min

We've always been told that milk helps you grow up to become strong and healthy, yet when we study the longest living and healthiest populations on the planet, we quickly notice that most don't consume the milk of other species.

Does milk really "do a body good"? What about all the celebrities showing off their milk mustaches? Is the dairy industry simply a marketing genius? What are the odds of us having been duped by huge dairy corporations? Could it be a coincidence that the government of Canada officially removed the dairy food group from the Canadian food guide in 2019?

Does milk really help build strong bones? That's the message we've been told since our childhood. We associate milk with calcium, with strong bones and teeth and with health in general. Is this true? Would we all be frail and weak without cow's milk? Why is it normal to drink cow's milk, but not dog or cat's milk, or even moose milk, considering it actually contains way more calcium? That's a question I've asked myself for a long time, and in my simple human brain, there was always something very weird about drinking the milk of another lactating species. In this article, I'll review the nutrient content of milk, how it's made along with the process and necessary steps from the farm to your fridge.

The Top 5 Reasons To Go Plant-Based

The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

03/02/25 • 25 min

Whether you do it for health, for the planet, for the animals, to gain an athletic advantage or to manage your weight, all reasons are fine by me.
My goal is to make sure that your plant-based journey is well-planned and done responsibly!
In this episode, we’ll discuss some of the most common reasons people transition to plant-forward diets and we’ll review some of the common pitfalls that you should watch for.

The Protein Panic: Part 2/2, Protein Quality and Digestibility

The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

02/22/24 • 22 min

On today's episode, let's answer these important questions:

If someone you were talking to was concerned about their protein intake if they moved to a plant-based diet (because they heard that plant-based protein isn't as "good" as an animal-based diet), what would you say to them?
If the person asked about how much protein they should be eating in a day, what would you say to them?
What are some examples of plant-based meals that would meet your optimal protein requirements?

Now that I've been on a plant-based diet for almost a decade, I'm tempted to cringe at those who question the adequacy of my protein intake. But I don't, because I remember having those same concerns at the beginning of my transition. As a multi-sport athlete, I also grew up in the protein-meat-gym culture and those misconceptions about protein are very difficult to reverse. I transitioned for health reasons, but I was still concerned that my athletic performance would be negatively impacted by my new plant-based diet. That's why I paid special attention to learning about what makes plant-protein different than animal protein and how to make sure I was getting enough. Turns out that meeting protein requirements is easier than most think.

Welcome To The Show! This Is My "Why"

The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

06/24/23 • 7 min

My origin story is a remarkable one. I went from being sick, tired, overworked and overwhelmed to being diagnosed with cholinergic urticaria and angioedema. Add these medical conditions to my pre-existing asthma, eczema, migraines and GERD and you get a pretty frustrated person. But when my daughters started showing signs of medical conditions that had plagued me for years, that's when I decided to take matters into my own hands. Modern medicine wasn't helping and so I turned to evidence-based nutrition. Within a year, I had reversed or improved most of my medical conditions and gotten rid of all of my prescriptions drugs. Plant-based nutrition gave me my life back and I've since dedicated my free time to spreading the science.
My mission is to make this information easy to understand for everyone from the general public, to my medical students. I want to empower those looking to improve their health through the power of science backed lifestyle medicine.
Although the science is very clear, there is still a lot of confusion online regarding what a healthy dietary pattern should look like. Let's bust some myths and clear up the confusion.
