00:01:25 Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 nutrition and I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to the podcast. Dr. Bulsiewicz, how are you?

Will

00:01:35 I'm doing fantastic, Stu. It's a pleasure to connect with you from the other side of the world. We're all immersed in this COVID-19 crisis right now, but it turns out that now is a great time to double down on health. Now is a great time to double down on gut health.

Stu

00:01:54 Yes.

Will

00:01:54 I don't think it's ever been as important as it is right now.

Stu

00:01:57 I think so. I think so, and probably never been a better time to dial in and listen to some podcasts as well because you're likely going to be at home. You're going to have a little bit more free time and feeling that you want to empower yourself with the right thing. So, first up for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd just love it if you could tell everybody a little bit about yourself please.

Will

00:02:23 Oh, happy to. So, I am a board certified gastroenterologist in the United States, so that means that I'm practicing, seeing people with digestive issues. That's what I do for a living. That's my full time job. All this stuff that you find that about me, for example, I have an Instagram account called the gut health MD with a large following. I've written a book called Fiber Fueled, which by the way Stu, I just want to mention that somehow I managed to pick out two words that are spelled differently in Australia than in the United States.
