443: Gut Brain Health and Healing with Josh Dech


Listen Later

This episode is a mind-opening chat with holistic nutritionist and physician consultant Josh Dech. We're diving into the world of gut-brain connection and how our modern lifestyles are messing with our health. Think processed foods, environmental toxins, and a rise in chronic conditions like Crohn’s and colitis — yep, Josh has reversed over 300 cases! He's here to shake up the notion that these conditions are irreversible.

In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on how gut health isn't just about food. Josh dishes out some vivid analogies (think your body as a bathtub!) and critiques the medical system’s go-to of prescribing meds instead of addressing root causes. We'll chat about the basics — diet, sleep, and stress management — and how they are essential for achieving a balanced life.

Josh and I also explore the critical role of listening to our bodies. We're talking nutrient deficiencies, toxicities, and microbial imbalances, and how tuning into these signals can help recalibrate our health strategies. Plus, we delve into the world of functional and naturopathic medicine for a holistic approach to gut health.

We'll help you navigate the complexities of the gut-brain connection and empower you with actionable insights for lasting wellness. Let’s get into it!

In this episode, you will hear:
  • Modern lifestyle factors, such as processed foods and environmental toxins.
  • Reversing chronic gut ailments through diet and lifestyle changes.
  • Exploring how gut bacteria influence brain chemistry and the rise of mental health issues.
  • Critique of the medical system's reliance on medication, emphasizing diet, sleep, and stress management.
  • Importance of listening to the body's signals to identify nutrient deficiencies, toxicities, and microbial imbalances.
