0:00.0	Look at these things through the context of clinical interventions and work with a doctor
0:13.0	rather than just trying to take a fancy prebiotic or fiber because there are some people that those things will make them worse.
0:24.9	The small intestine is very important because the small intestine represents 90% of caloric
0:32.8	absorption. It represents 55% of your entire digestive tract,
0:38.6	and the small intestine also contains the largest density of immune cells in the entire body.
0:44.5	So there's your time with any kind of autoimmune condition.
1:12.3	Okay. Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio, the podcast that brings you evidence-based nutrition information direct from world-renowned researchers, medical professionals, and in the trenches,
1:20.5	coaches. I am your host, Danny Lennon, and you are listening to Episode 97. Today, we're going to be joined by Dr. Michael Rousho, who many of you may remember from all the way back in, I think,

1:57.1	take from it. And I think that's one of the big things that he makes a point of,
2:02.3	well, there's so many people misinterpreting the current research that's coming out, and
2:07.7	particularly in the area of the gut microbiome, because as exciting as it is, there's a lot of
2:12.7	people jumping to conclusions as to how to apply this practically and maybe are recommending people do things that
2:19.3	are not really validated yet by science. And so I think it's a good time to get him back on
2:25.7	the show, especially considering in the last episode, episode 96, for those of you who
2:31.8	didn't catch that, we got into the whole area of the gut microbiota
