Furthermore, later in the episode, Jake will question us and give a detailed assessment of gut health. So if you have a similar body and eating habits like us, you’ll definitely learn something that can help you lead a healthier life.    “What I do find, which annoys me in the industry, are the people who say ‘Absence of evidence is evidence of absence’. That’s where people are actually trying to shoot other people down and discredit a certain service, just to either look good themselves or to have that comparison to put themselves on a pedestal.” - Jake Carter   Timestamps: 2:44 – Who Jake Carter is and his work in the fitness industry 12:48 – Microbiome – what it is and what it does 17:22 – Jake’s advice about gluten and why it’s bad for gut health 26:32 – Jake’s thoughts on dairy products 29:50 – How Jake looks at every client and their bodies differently 37:22 – Jake runs a detailed assessment of Adam’s gut health 1:09:05 – Recap of the assessment with 3 biggest take-home points Thanks so much for listening!
