Microbiome Video Series, Topic #10.1: Gastrointestinal Dysbiosis, Introduction to Prototypes/Patterns (1h22m)
Within the Human Microbiome and Dysbiosis COURSE, the section on gastrointestinal dysbiosis is clearly the largest and most detailed; see my articles and videos to understand why
Within the Human Microbiome and Dysbiosis COURSE, the section on gastrointestinal dysbiosis is clearly the largest and most detailed, and this is because it is the most common type of clinical dysbiosis and also because it is the most complex.
Because of this, putting all the information into a single video would have been technically impossible for me as well as impractical for the viewer; so this section on gut dysbiosis is divided into several videos, each one advancing the model toward a more complete understanding of this nuanced and enigmatic problem.
Currently, this section is structured as follows:
Gut Dysbiosis 10.1 on Prototypes: 1 hour, 22 minutes (video provided below)
Gut Dysbiosis 10.2 on Prototypes and Their Solutions: 2 hours
Gut Dysbiosis 10.6 on Solutions: added in 2020 specific to Gas, Bloating, IBS, and the Gut Microbiome Adaptation to a Healthier Diet (public access)
Gut Dysbiosis 10.7 on Solutions: The Use of Antibiotic Drugs and Endocrine Interventions (will be posted soon)

The Plan: New Information Will Be Added
I want you to know that I anticipate making a few updates to the Microbiome and Dysbiosis Course (and all of the courses, for that matter); so the courses aren’t “static” but will actually continue to be dynamic and move with the data and clinical science. The core information will remain the same—as it should—but we have a few more insights that are of actionable clinical value that warrant inclusion. Those will be added in text and video formats.
Samples of What is Coming Soon
The information I developed for this course was more than sufficient to support these publications, data from which came directly from the videos on gastrointestinal dysbiosis:

The Clinical Monograph
The video series outlined below extends from the book “Human Microbiome and Dysbiosis in Clinical Disease” (2015) which is included in the larger textbook Chapter 4 of Inflammation Mastery: Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine.

Dr Alex Kennerly Vasquez (introduction; brief Bio-CV) writes and teaches for an international audience on various topics ranging from leadership to nutrition to functional inflammology. Major books include Inflammation Mastery, 4th Edition (full-color printing, 1182 pages, equivalent to 25 typical books [averaging 60,000 words each]), which was also published in two separate volumes as Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine (Volume 1: Chapters 1-4; Volume 2: Chapter 5—Clinical Protocols for Diabetes, Hypertension, Migraine, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Vasculitis, Dermatomyositis and most other major inflammatory/autoimmune disorders); several sections have been excerpted including Antiviral Strategies and Immune Nutrition (ISBN 1502894890) (aka, Antiviral Nutrition [available as PDF download] and Brain Inflammation in Chronic Pain, Migraine, and Fibromyalgia. Dr Vasquez’s books are available internationally via bookstores such as BookDepository, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, ThriftBooks, AbeBooks, BetterWorldBooks, WaterStonesBooks and his new Telegram channel is https://t.me/DrAlexVasquez.
