    Most people think about gut health in terms of whi Most people think about gut health in terms of which bacteria they have. The emerging science says it’s more about what those bacteria are doing together. Cross-feeding is the process by which one bacterial species produces compounds that neighboring species use as food. Lactate, formate, acetate— these metabolic byproducts circulate through your colon like currency in a thriving economy. The more diverse your plant intake, the richer and more functional that economy becomes. This is why you don’t just need fiber. You need different kinds of fiber from different kinds of plants— because different bacterial strains specialize in different substrates. Rotating through the same few foods, even healthy ones, is like funding one sector of an economy and wondering why everything else is struggling. The goal isn’t a complete dietary overhaul overnight. It’s expansion. Add one new plant this week. A different legume, an unfamiliar grain, a vegetable you haven’t bought in years. Your microbial community will notice. 💬 Hot take: most people think they eat a diverse diet. Most people are wrong. How many different plants did you actually eat this week? Be honest.

That the sugar crash you’re feeling warrants a quick fix. It’s a trap. And most people fall for it every single time. Here’s what’s actually happening: stress is already damaging your gut barrier, activating inflammation, and depleting your good bacteria. The things your brain is craving in that moment make every single one of those things worse. What your gut actually needs right now is fiber: to protect your microbiome, repair the barrier, and bring that inflammation back down. Comment STRESS and I’ll send you the full video on exactly what stress does to your gut — and how to fight back. 🧠

    Everyone thinks a hangover is just dehydration. Dr Everyone thinks a hangover is just dehydration. Drink some water, pop some Advil, and you’re good. But that’s not the whole story. The real reason you feel so awful the day after drinking? Inflammation. And it’s coming from your gut. As a gastroenterologist, this is one of the most important distinctions I can make, because it changes everything about how you understand alcohol’s impact on your body. 💬 Comment HANGOVER below and I’ll send you the link to my full YouTube episode where I break all of this down.
