| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. Chris Getten here and welcome to another episode of the Knowledge and Mileage |
| 0:05.0 | podcast. Now, I'm really excited about today's show because as I always talk about the gut, |
| 0:11.2 | as used to be, I'd call it the second brain. Now I call it the primary brain because I feel the |
| 0:16.5 | power of looking after this organ for the rest of your body, as I've mentioned before as well, |
| 0:23.5 | is that if you do have this inflammatory response within your gut, |
| 0:28.1 | I feel that it can lead to chemical responses in your brain. |

| 1:25.6 | is Healthy Gut, Healthy You, which has helped |
| 1:27.9 | countless of patients regain their health, even when numerous doctors have been unable to. |
| 1:34.5 | So Dr. Rucho, thank you ever so much for coming on to the Knowledge of Myledge podcast, sir. |
| 1:39.6 | Yeah, thank you for having me. |
| 1:42.7 | I often get asked, which supplement, Chris, should I be taken? |
