Kyle Buchanan is a certified nutritional practitioner who breaks down why gut diversity determines everything from your energy levels to how badly hangovers hit you. He explains the 30-plant-foods-per-week benchmark that creates a healthier microbiome, why most people are digesting protein poorly, and how supporting digestion before meals changes absorption entirely.Kyle reveals why variety beats perfection, how targeted probiotics are advancing beyond generic supplements, and the truth about peptides like BPC-157 and GLP-1s (Ozempic). He discusses which peptides show real promise for tissue repair, which ones are unregulated Wild West territory, and why foundational habits still outperform quick fixes.
