Summary

We find ourselves back in the all-important microbiome in today’s extra-informative episode of the Be Well By Kelly podcast.  We’re joined by Dr. Megan Rossi, a fellow boy mom, gut-obsessed nutritionist who founded the Gut Health Doctor and is considered one of the most influential gut health specialists in the world. She's also a registered dietician with an award-winning PhD in gut health – my kind of expert! Frustrated that her research findings weren't reaching the public and seeing fads and potentially dangerous misinformation on gut health being spread online, Megan took to social media to share credible evidence-based advice and has built an engaged community of hundreds of thousands of followers in the process. Her breadth of knowledge bridges the gaps between science, the food industry, and our day-to-day lives – making this conversation a biodiverse bonanza of actionable steps and research-backed information for a healthier microbiome.
