The Best Foods To Heal The Gut

This episode is brought to you by Gut Food, Rupa Health,
ButcherBox, and InsideTracker.   Our gut, and the tons of
bacteria that reside within it, regulates many of our bodily
functions, from creating vitamins to controlling our immune system,
our brain function, and, of course, our metabolism and weight. The
gut is the number-one place to investigate when healing the body of
any chronic symptoms or diseases. If your gut isn’t healthy, you’re
not healthy!   In this episode of my Masterclass series, I am
interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about
why prebiotics are vital in creating a healthy gut. These are the
things your good gut bugs love to munch on. In turn, they produce
beneficial compounds such as short-chain fatty acids, which have
been shown to help prevent things like colon cancer.
