Today I’m speaking with world-leading gastroenterologist Dr Will Bulsiewicz about how to heal your gut and keep it working at its best. We get into what inflammation really is, why it matters, and how the food you eat can help you find the right balance.

In this episode…

• What inflammation actually is and why it’s more than just a buzzword
• The hidden signs of inflammation that most people don’t connect with their gut
• What is “leaky gut”
• How modern life drives chronic inflammation and what you can do about it
• Why fibre is the cornerstone of gut health and how to add it sensibly
• The power of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate to heal the gut and calm inflammation
• How sugar, salt and fat fuel inflammation
• Supplements vs whole foods for gut health and when fibre supplements may help
• How much fibre you really need each day and how to increase it without discomfort
• Simple, practical food swaps and recipes Dr B uses himself (including chia seed bread!)

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B," is a celebrated gastroenterologist and gut health expert, founder of popular microbiome nutrition company 38TERA, the New York Times bestselling author of two books, the U.S. Medical Director for ZOE and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Emory School of Medicine. He is a champion for preventing and reversing disease through microbiome optimisation and shares his expertise via social media and at theguthealthmd.com.

I’m super excited about his next book coming out in January 2026, Plant-Powered Plus!
