What's up, Motivators? Today's podcast guest is Dr. Bernardo Petris. Now, I came across Dr. Bernardo

by going down one of the research rabbit holes that I occasionally go down. This specific rabbit

hole was with regards to exercise and how it relates to your gut health. I've talked a lot about how my gut has suffered over

the last few years. And really, if I think back, probably 15 years ago, like as long as I can

remember, I've never had really good gut health. I've often had things like diarrhea and poor

ability to recover from workouts and feeling just generally a little bit

more beat down sometimes than you would expect. As I have focused more on gut health,

that has turned around. So I'm a really big believer in taking care of your gut. And when I found

a lot of the research that Dr.

Bernaro's group down in Brazil is doing, it was a real breath of fresh air because the gut and

our understanding of the gut and how it affects all of our body systems is really just in

its infancy. And to understand how what we're doing with exercise actually is affecting our gut,

in some cases in a really good way, but in some cases in a detrimental way is important to

understand.

And then understanding how can we maybe combat some of these is also really important to

understand.

This is largely what Dr. Bernaro, Patrice, and his group down in Brazil are doing.

So we talk a lot about that, really very beneficial podcast for you. If you ever have any instances of pain in

your gut, digestive problems, things like constipation, maybe skin problems, maybe sleep problems,

anything that you feel like, oh, this is just kind of chronic here,

but I can't put my finger on exactly what it is.

Think about your gut because so much of what we experience from a health perspective
