546: Improve Your Gut Health with Robynne Chutkan, MD

546: Improve Your Gut Health with Robynne Chutkan, MD

Your gastrointestinal tract contains around three pounds of microbes - some good and some bad. When your gut is healthy, the bad bugs are kept in check, and the good bugs serve as internal workhorses for digestion and short-chain fatty acid creation, they also release GABA and other neurotransmitters, and fend off pathogens. When things are out of balance, irritable bowel, leaky gut, gas, bloating, and disease can occur. Gastrointestinal problems affect as many as one in five people, so a happy belly is something we all need to cultivate. In this episode, gastroenterologist, Robynne Chutkan, MD, shares her latest research.

Listen and learn:

  • About the risks of emulsifiers and stabilizers found in common foods
  • How artificial sweeteners can contribute to or even cause gut dysbiosis
  • Why most probiotic supplements are useless
  • The difference between insoluble and soluble fiber in food
  • The future of fecal transplants
