Summary

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is a physician, bestselling author and one of the most respected voices in microbiome science. He joins the show for a deep dive into the powerful connection between gut health and inflammation. We break down how the gut impacts every system in the body, why chronic low-grade inflammation is so common, and the surprising signs you may have it even if you feel “fine.” Dr. B shares the number one food for lowering inflammation, why you can’t have a healthy microbiome and inflammatory conditions at the same time, and how to start transforming your gut barrier in just 3–5 days.

We also dive into the downstream effects of living in negativity and reactivity, the health issues tied to the Western diet, and how restrictive eating can backfire on your microbiome. Dr. B offers evidence-based tools to improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellbeing — including non-food lifestyle practices, his essential supplement stack, and the truth about glyphosate and antibiotics.

We also explore why you feel better abroad, the gut barrier’s circadian rhythm, the 7-day outdoor challenge, the 10-minute habit that makes you happier and sleep better and his most unpopular health stance.

This is a concise, practical, science-driven guide to what actually works for gut health and inflammation!
