    Optimizing Gut Health with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz!

    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.

    Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss Through Functional Medicine with Lacy Lain

    Anyone who has listened to this podcast knows that we aren't big fans of band-aids.  Patching things up without getting to the root cause isn't the way to long-term success when it comes to our health.  That's why we are huge fans of functional medicine.  Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach that seeks to address the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It views the body as an interconnected system where imbalances in one area can affect overall health. Practitioners of functional medicine focus on identifying how factors such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle contribute to an individual's health problems. So, we couldn't be more thrilled to have Lacy Lain on the show to share her approach in the functional medicine space.
