Optimizing Gut Health with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz!
Manage episode 445184743 series 2412793
Gut health plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion to immune function and even mental health. The gut houses trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the microbiome, which work to break down food, absorb nutrients, and protect against pathogens. A healthy gut not only supports digestion but also impacts mood, energy levels, and the body’s ability to manage inflammation. Recent research shows that a diet rich in diverse plant-based foods is key to nurturing a balanced microbiome, which is why experts like Dr. Will Bulsiewicz advocate for eating “30 plants a week” to maximize gut health and diversity.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. B, an award-winning gastroenterologist and author of Fiber Fueled, to explore how gut health can be optimized through personalized nutrition. As U.S. Medical Director of ZOE, Dr. B offers insight into the latest findings from the world’s largest personalized nutrition study. He’ll discuss the best foods for gut health, the surprising link between human connection and the gut, how to identify food intolerances, and strategies for tackling common issues like bloating. With over 20 peer-reviewed scientific publications and a large following on Instagram, Dr. B provides valuable, science-backed advice to help you transform your gut health and improve your overall well-being.
