Why Gut Issues Are On The Rise And How To Fix It

The gut microbiome plays a role in every disease, so why aren’t we
doing more to protect and restore it? One third to one half of all
Americans have gut issues due to the constant consumption of
industrialized foods, glyphosate, food additives, and more. This is
a problem—and it’s time for us to take action. In this episode of
my Masterclass series, the first in a series on gut health, I am
interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about
the importance of polyphenols for our gut health. We also discuss
my gut-health journey, which led me to dig deep into understanding
the value of a healthy gut and diverse microbiome, and how to get
there. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and
