    #407: Dr. Will Bulsiewicz - The Inflammation Crisis No One in Medicine Is Talking About

    Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is a board-certified gastroenterologist, three-time New York Times bestselling author, and one of the world’s leading voices on the gut microbiome. His new book, Plant Powered Plus, is about inflammation and how to reduce it by healing the gut. In this episode, we go beyond “eat more fibre” and break down the real driver behind modern disease: chronic inflammation. We explore why over 130 conditions — from heart disease to depression — share the same inflammatory root, how your gut controls 70% of your immune system, and why stress, trauma, loneliness, and modern living may be damaging your gut more than food alone. Dr. B explains the gut–immune connection in simple terms, reveals what’s changed in the last 125 years, and shares the daily habits that genuinely lower inflammation — including fibre, polyphenols, fermented foods, omega-3s, and even forgiveness. If you care about energy, resilience, mental clarity, and long-term health — this episode is essential listening.

    #404: Dr Anthony Chaffee - Why Modern Diets Are Making Us Sick

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr Anthony Chaffee, a medical doctor and former professional athlete, to examine a controversial but increasingly discussed idea: that humans may be eating in a way that fundamentally conflicts with their biology. Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor currently practicing in Australia who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat are caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be improved, and in some cases reversed, with dietary changes to a species-specific diet.
