In this episode of the Forever Fit Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Csilla Veress from TrueNorth Health Center to explore gut health, lifestyle medicine, and supervised water-only fasting. We discuss how the microbiome influences inflammation and immunity, why nutrition and daily habits matter more than most people realize, and what actually happens during a medically supervised fast. This is a grounded, science-based conversation about building real health from the inside out.
