Food, Rhythm, and Daily Choices - The role of fiber, colorful plant foods, healthy fats, and fermented foods - How consistent routines around meals, sleep, and light support hormones - Practical ways to eat and live “gut-friendly” without a strict diet 4. Empowerment, Fertility, and Self-Advocacy - How a healthier gut can support hormones, fertility, and overall resilience - Why understanding your body helps you ask better questions in care settings - Focusing on what you can control rather than quick fixes Pre-order Dr. Crawford's debut book, The Fertility Formula, now! ⁠https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/book⁠ Follow Dr. Will Bulsiewicz on Instagram @theguthealthmd Order his book Plant Powered Plus Want to receive my weekly newsletter?
