Episode 199 of the Fit Father Project Podcast is about the importance of gut health and its connection to overall well-being.
In this episode, you’ll meet Dr. Michael Ruscio, a clinician, clinical researcher, and author working fervently to reform and improve the field of functional and integrative medicine.
His primary focus areas are digestive health and its impact on other facets of health, including energy, sleep, mood, thyroid function, and optimization.
His book, Healthy Gut, Healthy You: The Personalized Plan to Transform Your Health from the Inside Out, has paved the way for a ‘start with the gut’ philosophy, enabling doctors and patients to obtain improved outcomes with minimal expense and effort.
In this incredible conversation, he shares his experiences with gut issues and how they led him to focus on helping others improve their gut health.
We also cover the different types of gut imbalances and provide dietary recommendations for each, probiotics, fermented foods, artificial sweeteners, lectins, the carnivore diet, and more.
It’s an eye-opener that you’ve got to hear!
