In Episode #141 we hear from three Gastroenterologists as part of a two part series on optimising gut health - Dr Sarina Pasricha, Dr Alan Desmond and Dr Will Bulsiewicz.As these were by far some of the most popular episodes to date my team and I went back through and pulled out the most important parts and brought them together into this 2 part series.In Part 1 (this episode) we cover:What the microbiome isWhat dysbiosis isThe 3 parts of dysbiosis including what's often described as 'leaky gut'The importance of fibreWhat short chain fatty acids areAnimal foods and gut healthThe ketogenic diet and gut healthKombuchaBone BrothDairyGluten and IBSJuice cleansesSpicy foodAlcoholand much morePart 2 of this series, which is out in a weeks time, is more focussed on specific gut health conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).Happy listening. I hope you find it equal parts informative and instructive.Want to support the show?If you are enjoying the Plant Proof podcast a great way to support the show is by leaving a review on the Apple podcast app. It only takes a few minutes and helps more people find the episodes.Simon Hill, Nutritionist, Sports PhysiotherapistCreator of Plantproof.com and host of the Plant Proof PodcastAuthor of The Proof is in the PlantsConnect with me on Instagram and TwitterDownload my two week meal plan
