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.
