I was thrilled to connect with Dr. Daryl Gioffre today. He is a certified nutritionist, gut health expert, and the author of two bestselling books. 


In our discussion, we explore myths around immunity, looking at the importance of gut health and immune function, specific areas of physiology in the gut, the impact of plant-based compounds and diets, and gut-brain access. Dr. Daryl explains why we are only as good as what we digest, absorb, and assimilate, and shares the specific stool tests he uses in his practice. We also dive into supplementation, what the symptoms surrounding bloating can help us identify, why fiber is most important, and how trauma and stress can affect the immune system.
