In Episode #141, the first of a two-part series, we hear from three gastroenterologists – Dr Sarina Pasricha, Dr Alan Desmond, and Dr Will Bulsiewicz – about how to optimise gut health. As the previous episodes featuring these three great minds were by far some of the most popular to date, my team and I pulled out the key messages from these episodes and brought them together into a two-part series. Listen to Part 1 (this episode) to hear about the microbiome, dysbiosis (imbalance in gastrointestinal bacteria), the importance of fibre, short-chain fatty acids, animal-based foods and gut health, the ketogenic diet and gut health, kombucha, bone broth, dairy, gluten, juice cleanses, spicy food, alcohol, and much more. Part 2 of this series focuses on specific gut health conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).  Enjoy, friends. SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.

In Episode #139, I sat down with gastroenterologist Alan Desmond, MD, to talk about colorectal cancer – the third most common form of cancer globally. We had an in-depth discussion about what colorectal cancer is, who tends to get it, how it’s diagnosed, and the survival rate after diagnosis. Alan also shared the importance of colorectal cancer screening and what lifestyle modifications we can make to lower our risk of developing colorectal cancer. For more from Dr Alan Desmond, see Episodes #56, #123, #139, #141, and #143.For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes. Enjoy, friends. SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.

In Episode #138, we hear from David Katz, MD, about eating for optimal health. In a world of diet extremes and dogma, Dr Katz offers a much-needed voice of reason. The question that I put to Dr Katz was ‘what is the optimal diet for human health?’ This is a condensed version of his earlier episode on the show, ‘Can we say what diet is best for health?’ (#108). If you are looking for a no-nonsense summary of nutrition science to help you make healthier food choices for yourself and your family, then I am certain you will find this a really valuable listen.For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.  Enjoy, friends. SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.
