Summary
Gut health has been such a buzz lately that most people understand its importance on a basic level.
This could mean adding in prebiotic-rich foods, taking probiotics, and drinking or eating things like Kombucha and Kefir to promote an optimal gut balance.
But what if we told you that this approach could be making things worse if you’re not targeting it towards what your body specifically needs?
It’s true.
And if you’re continually doing this, it’s no wonder that your issues have only slightly improved.
The good news is that this is a sign that you’re moving in the right direction and, with the help of this podcast episode with Dr. Michael Ruscio, you can keep moving that way.
To do that, Dr. Ruscio shares the exact steps he uses in his clinical practice to help his patients improve their gut health.
He’ll also jump into why probiotics may not be working for you and how to find ones that will, immunoglobulins on gut health, dietary histamines, the best diets for gut repair, sugar alcohols on the gut, and so much more.
Tune into the episode now to learn what it really takes to improve your gut health.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Keto Answers Podcast. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm your host, Dr. Anthony Guestan, and joining me this week is Dr. Michael Ruchio. |
| 0:12.8 | Doc always comes in the show and drops knowledge bombs, and today was no difference. |
| 0:17.8 | So he came on and chatted about different supplements that now help and have been super transformative |

| 0:32.8 | tinkering in my day to day nutrition, and that's a high histamine diet. |
| 0:36.1 | So I didn't even know I was eating a diet that was full of histamine. |

| 1:03.5 | lemon poppy seed and salted caramel. |
| 1:06.1 | So these two are just ridiculous. |
| 1:08.2 | The lemon poppy seed tastes exactly like a frosted lemon poppy seed muffin or cake or |
| 1:13.4 | whatever you buy at Starbucks that delicious, but it kills you so don't buy those things. |
