Is your gut slowly killing you? Find out why! Dr. B's episode was the MOST downloaded in 2020 and he comes back today for round two!

In this episode, Dr. B digs deep into how integral our gut microbiome is. Our gut health, as backed by science, affects our mood, our health, our energy, and how we connect with the people around us. Also, exercise and proper food intake is not enough to sustain a healthy lifestyle, you need to put your bowels in the right rhythm too!

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (@theguthealthmd), MD MSCI, (a.k.a. Dr. B) is a board certified gastroenterologist and gut health expert. Every day, he helps patients and members of his #plantfed community bounce back from restrictive and over-hyped diets, and into a whole new way of living and eating that produces the results they really want… permanently.
