Gut Health Part 1 - Microbiome with Dr. Chris Damman
Gut health is a significant issue in a lot of men. Myself included. In fact, I have to strive to optimize my microbiome. Even though I’m doing a lot to be healthy, there’s still more to be done. So in order to get some help, I have a special guest that will teach us about gut health and how to keep our immune system balanced. He’s Dr. Chris Damman.
Dr. Chris Damman is a practicing gastroenterologist who also works as a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Washington. Furthermore, he is the Chief Medical & Scientific Officer at Supergut, a company developing functional foods that harness the microbiome to transform health. His areas of expertise include nutrition, metabolic health, and also prebiotics. In truth, it is an honor to have him as a guest on the podcast.
It is most important to learn about digestive health, the gut, and why we need to focus on them. As a matter of fact, we need to take action on it. But we can’t take action until we have enough knowledge and confidence to do so.
Without a doubt, this episode will inspire you to take action right away. Not all at once, but little by little. Start by changing the type of foods you eat, exercising 3 to 4 days a week, and getting more outside. Both your gut and your mental health will thank you.
“Mental health is such an underserved topic within medicine and general health. And we don’t often realize just how profoundly our food and our microbes and our gut are impacting our brain.” —Dr. Chris Damman
