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.

This one habit could be messing with your gut motility, your energy, and your cortisol rhythm- and most people have no idea.

I owe you an apology. For years, I told every patient the same thing after antibiotics: “Take a probiotic.”It made sense. You just wiped out your gut bacteria, so put some back in, right?

Then I saw this study.

Suez et al Cell 2018

Antibiotics drop your gut diversity by 66%. The group that recovered naturally? Slowly climbing back. The group that took probiotics? A month later… no recovery at all. The probiotics were actually blocking the microbiome from rebuilding itself.

I had to change how I practiced medicine.

This is a clip from my full episode breaking down exactly what to do before, during, and after antibiotics- including what ACTUALLY helps recovery.

Rest in peace, James Van Der Beek. He was 48. Colo

Rest in peace, James Van Der Beek. He was 48. Colorectal cancer screening starts at 45.

James was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 46 and spent his remaining years as one of the most vocal advocates for early screening. He made his diagnosis public not for attention, but because he believed his story could save someone else’s life.

I’m a gastroenterologist. I’ve spent over a decade looking inside the human colon, and the pattern I kept seeing was the one that scared me most — young, healthy-looking people with silent disease. People who felt fine. People who thought they were fine. And yet there were precancerous polyps growing inside them.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: a colonoscopy isn’t just a test that finds cancer. It’s a procedure that can prevent cancer. When we find a polyp during colonoscopy, we remove it. Whatever it might have become, it won’t.

Colorectal cancer is no longer just an older person’s disease. It’s rising fast in younger populations, and it often starts with zero symptoms.

If you’re 45 or older — book the colonoscopy. Don’t wait for a reason.

If you’re under 45 but experiencing bleeding, a change in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or persistent pain — please get checked. Don’t brush it off.

James used his voice to fight for this. Let’s not let that be in vain.

Share this with someone you care about. It could save their life.

There are two different kinds of fiber: insoluble

There are two different kinds of fiber: insoluble and soluble. Today, I'm diving into the difference between them, why your gut needs both, and how you can get more of these key nutrients into your diet.

The important thing is not to overthink it, and just start feeding your gut the nutrients it needs.

🥦 We're working on a Fiber-Forward February challenge in The Gut Health Collective this month! If you're interested in joining, check out the link in my bio.
