The impact of foods on our gut and how to achieve optimum health.
Dr Alan Desmond
In this hugely informing episode of the podcast, I’m chatting with Dr Alan Desmond, an incredible expert on the gut and microbiome health. Dr Desmond is a gastroenterologist that places a huge emphasis on nutrition.
In this episode we’ll dive deep into gut health. Why is there a sharp rise in chronic gut issues? What does the science show about diet contributing to inflammatory bowel diseases like crohns, IBD and ulcerative colitis. What about paleo, keto and the carnivore diet?..what does the research say about it?
Beyond that we chat all about studies on the Masaai and Innuit tribes, Dr Gundry’s work and what statistics show about high meat consumption in populations. All this and much more on today’s episode!
