- Health & Fitness
Microbiome health has been getting into the consciousness of most of us lately. People talking about that microbiome, the gut, poop. Yep, it is not your normal dinner conversation, but it's starting to become so.
So I found one of the really cool experts in this space that knows a ton about that. It is Roland Pankewich, CEO of Health Optimization Medicine (Canada).
Roland has been advising pro athletes to reach their top level. He focuses on the clinical practice of health optimization utilizing a framework that detects and corrects nutritional deficiencies, subtle toxicities, and excesses at a biochemical level. Roland shares what you need to know about your microbiome and how to stress less.

What got Roland into microbiome optimal health? [01:43]
Roland has always been really interested in health. He was a competitive athlete at a younger age, training people, and learning how to optimize his own training for performance.
Why the need for microbiome health? [04:06]
It made him think that the foundational principles of what governs your health and wellness and energy production is always the base.
“I took it upon myself to go elbows deep in shit and figure out what's going on inside the human GI system.” as Roland stated.
Understanding microbiome to get the idea of the whole matter [04:47]
The microbiome is the combination of the organisms that live inside of our gut, the cells of the GI system, the immune system, the new layer. It's the entire network of the organ and of itself, and it's all the interactions of those things that dictate the overall function of the microbiome.
The leaky gut – what is it about? [06:39]
When the cells of the gut have a breakdown of these protein structures, the cells start to move apart a little bit and when they move apart, there's essentially a gap between what is meant to be a barrier and then things that are in the gut can get between this gap, get into the bloodstream, and then the immune system has to be called upon because they're not meant to be in the bloodstream in the first place.
FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ROLAND PANKEWICH:
Getting rid of toxic relationships or toxic environments is a way that you can improve your health.
Try to prioritize not getting too crazy with all this technology and gadgets and getting back to the basics with spending some time in nature, spending time with good people.
If you have the goal to optimize your health, have the commitment to do it.
