Summary

This episode is brought to you by ARMRA, ButcherBox, and AG1. Gut health is not just about feeling your best. Your gut is the epicenter of your body and governs immune function, hormones, and nutrient absorption. Yet a whopping 74 percent of Americans claim they live with daily digestive discomfort, including suffering from constipation, which isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a sign that something is wrong in the gut. In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit, Dr. George Papanicolaou, and Dr. Mark Pimentel about the root causes of constipation problems and how to feel better and rebalance your gut. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset. Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board certified in family medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. He is also an Institute for Functional Medicine practitioner. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health, a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center in 2017. Dr. Mark Pimentel is a professor of medicine and gastroenterology through the Geffen School of Medicine and an associate professor of medicine at Cedars-Sinai.
