Estrés, microbiota y longevidad: cómo desinflamarte, cuidar tu hígado y vivir mejor

In this fourth part of the podcast, we delve into a topic that almost no one explains well: how chronic stress and high cortisol levels block inflammation during the day, inhibit immunity, and cause you to "get sick just when you're relaxing," for example, on vacation. It's explained simply why the body can't repair itself while it's fighting off the "tiger" and how that takes its toll later. Mayca and Marga bring all of this down to practical terms: the synergy between amino acids like glutamine and polyphenols, the role of butyrate, resistant starch (potatoes, rice, chilled tubers), and why the colon literally lives off the fuel provided by your gut bacteria. It shows how a healthy gut microbiota can improve pain, fibromyalgia, brain fog, skin, energy, and even mood. We also discuss true longevity (not just living longer, but living better): supplements like carnosine, glutamine, butyrate, good probiotics, the importance of the liver as the "organ of happiness," properly executed fasts, targeted detoxifications, and simple decisions that are within reach of almost anyone. We conclude with clinical cases of fibromyalgia and dysbiosis, common mistakes with supplements, and where to start when you can't have a perfect diet but still want to improve your gut microbiota and your life. 2:30 Why high cortisol blocks inflammation during the day and makes you "get sick when you finally rest." 5:00 Glutamine + polyphenols: the combination that boosts intestinal mucosa regeneration and reduces inflammation. 7:30 SIBO, gas, and fibromyalgia: how certain bacterial gases interfere with the use of butyrate in the colon. 10:00 Resistant starch explained simply: potatoes, rice, and chilled tubers as “food” for your bacteria. 12:30 White vs. brown rice, arsenic, buckwheat, and the role of molybdenum in hydrogen sulfide metabolism. 15:00 Longevity and wellness without smoke: living less but healthy vs. longer sick; what really makes sense? 18:00 Top supplements for longevity and well-being: carnosine, glutamine, butyrate, probiotics, and skin and gut health. 21:00 The liver as the organ of happiness: targeted detoxes, fasting, sleep, mood, and energy. 24:00 Common mistakes with “eradicating” the gut microbiota and using probiotics at the wrong time, worsening symptoms. 30:00 Clinical case of fibromyalgia and dysbiosis in the family, bacterial endotoxemia and how real clinical practice teaches more than books.
