| 0:00.0 | she is wondering, flat out, what are the healthiest foods that she can eat to help her gut? |
| 0:05.6 | Oh gosh, where do we even begin? There's so many great choices. In my book, I talked about an |
| 0:12.1 | acronym that I love to keep track of my ideal foods for optimal gut health. This is how I remember it. |
| 0:19.1 | F goals. So fruit and fermented, greens and whole grains, omega-resuper seeds, |
| 0:24.3 | aromatics, legumes, shrooms, seaweed and silver vein. Those are my F goals. Those I'm trying to get |
| 0:32.3 | into my diet as often as possible every single week. |
| 0:40.8 | Welcome to the exam room podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee. Hi, I am the Weight |
| 0:46.6 | Loss Champion Chuck Carroll. Thank you so very much for raising your health IQ with us. This is |
| 0:53.2 | episode 62 of season 4, number 257 overall. And it is Drs. Mailbag Day here on the exam room. And |

| 1:45.6 | even take for a taste test? If you answer yes to this, well, my next question would be, |
| 1:54.0 | what do you think would happen to you? My uneducated guess just to shot in the dark here is that |
| 2:01.3 | it could lead to the tummy ache of all tummy aches. But we're going to get the answer from a professional. |
| 2:10.8 | The opinion of our friend, Dr. Will Bulsowis. And as a gastroenterologist, there is no one more |
| 2:18.8 | qualified to talk about the effects of craft macaroni and cheese ice cream on your gut. |
| 2:26.3 | And also, as I said, we will be opening up the doctor's mail back for the author of FiberFuel. |
| 2:32.7 | He's going to be answering plenty of your other questions, including one from someone who was |
