We have Christian Limoges on to discuss how we can begin to eat according to the way our digestive tract was created. By using powerful real-life analogies to capture how the digestive system works, as well as the way protein, fruit, and inflammation affect our gut, Christian shines light on the benefits of consuming fruit, what may be contributing to the current inflammatory diseases epidemic, and how you can optimize your gut microbiome. Let's dive in!
