Optimize your gut health and microbiome with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz


Listen Later

The topic of gut health is integral to optimizing our physical and mental wellbeing. Our microbiome has a direct relationship to our immune system, digestion, metabolism, hormones, mood, and more. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is board certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology and is an authority on cutting edge medical research on microbiome science. He’s here to arm you with empowering information to achieve optimal health without restrictive dieting like elimination diets, but rather with abundance. We dive into the complexity of the gut, why eating a diverse plant-based diet is key to optimizing our gut function, and why a plant-predominant to plant-exclusive diet is the most scientifically proven way to support the microbiome.

Dr. B has incredible credentials. He’s a graduate of Georgetown University School of Medicine and received his Master of Science in Clinical Investigation (MSCI) from Northwestern University and a certificate in nutrition from Cornell University. He received the highest clinical award at UNC and was Chief Gastroenterology Fellow. He conducted research for and contributed to more than 20 scientific articles and has given more than 40 presentations at national meetings.

Dr. B’s book “Fiber Fueled” is a a must read and a personal favorite of mine for understanding the significant role that a diverse plant-based diet plays in creating a healthy gut. He is also soon to be releasing a second book, the “Fiber Fueled Cookbook,” which is an empowering guide filled with delicious recipes and information on how to heal the your gut with evidence-based research for long term health.
