The number-one reason people visit the doctor is problems with the gut. Not only do gut issues impair gut function, making life miserable, but they also are a contributing factor to many serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, and more.

In this episode of my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the three biggest contributing factors to compromised gut health. We discuss the importance of looking at gut function, the top foods that typically cause gut problems, and the top substances that support healing the gut.
