The Surprising Scientific Truth About How to Improve Gut Health
In this episode of Sick Health with Kevin Ban, MD, we make learning how to improve gut health a topic that’s easy to digest. With special guest Gastroenterologist Alan Moss, MD, we’ll dive deep into the hidden world of your digestive system microbiome, how it develops, and how it impacts your health throughout your life.
If you’re like most of the population suffering from Chron’s, IBS, Colitis, Obesity, low energy, bloating, indigestion, and irritability, you’ve likely run the gauntlet of being misdiagnosed, heavily medicated, or operated on. The good news is that there’s more within your control than you might think.
Spending 45 minutes with us can help you break the vicious cycle of confusion, frustration, and little relief. Thanks to Dr. Moss, you’ll wrap this session with an understanding of:
How to optimize total wellness
What an optimal gut health diet looks like
What supplements are in, or out
Symptom mindfulness (and what they ask of you)
Controlling your environment
Make sure to stick around as we debunk common gut health myths around pre/probiotics, the role of exercise, and how eating diverse foods affect microbiome composition.
As Dr. Moss points out, “A healthy host is a healthy microbiome.” By the time this episode wraps up, you’ll know exactly what to do to boost your gut health from the inside, out - but also from the outside, in.
