Have you ever experienced losing weight but suddenly gaining all that stubborn fat back? This is called the "weight rebound effect." As frustrating as it is, there’s actually a solution to avoid it and achieve long-term weight loss by optimizing your gut health and immune system.

Contrary to popular belief, the immune system carries more responsibility than you might assume when it comes to shedding fat and achieving real lasting health. We dive deeper into this in today’s episode, “The Immunity Code.”

Joel Greene is a seasoned entrepreneur who has built two multi-million-dollar tech startups. He authored the first article on the gut biome for the health and fitness community in 2007 and has since focused on body composition through gut health, amassing over 16,000 case studies.

Joel developed the VEEP Nutrition System, one of the earliest digital nutrition SaaS services, and has consulted for major nutrition companies like Quest Nutrition. His work has been featured on Dr. Phil, Muscle & Fitness, and CBS Online. Joel is also the author of The Immunity Code, a groundbreaking approach to immune-centric health.
