This is an episode I wish everyone would listen to. Gut health genuinely builds the foundation of our health, but it is far more nuanced and fascinating than even I realized! Gut types and probiotic types are crucial to any decision we make about what we eat and the types of gut health optimization products we buy or waste money on. This is a gut game-changer.

Dr. Michael Ruscio is a DC, Naturopathic Practitioner, researcher, and clinician. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Bridgeport and has published numerous papers in scientific journals.

Dr. Ruscio’s mission is to empower people on their journey to optimal health through accessible and evidence-based information. Every piece of content is focused on demystifying complex concepts, breaking down cutting-edge research, and providing actionable insights.
