Dr Leke Asong is a GP who specialises in gut health.

In this episode of Fit For My Age Dr Leke explains to host Michael Millward that most doctors are trained to treat a patient’s symptoms. But as Dr Leke says this is the first step of treatment. Doctors should also investigate the root causes of a patient's condition.

In a far-ranging discussion Dr Leke explains that what we consume has an inevitable impact on how our bodies, brains and minds perform. We can he explains improve our health by improving our diet and our lifestyle.

Key to improving and maintaining good health is understanding how our gut works, how our digestive system works and identifying how to life more harmoniously with our body.

As well as explaining the logic of gut health management Dr Leke also explains the types of food we should be consuming if we want to achieve good gut health.
