EPISODE 12: F*ck, My Gut’s in Charge! with Dr. Craig Haifer

-------------------------

In this episode of F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!, I sit down with gut health guru and academic powerhouse Dr. Craig Haifer - gastroenterologist, researcher, and the man who made me say, “Wait… poo transplants are a thing?!”

We go deep (pun fully intended): bloating, brain fog, the gut-brain connection, inflammation, immune overload, and why your 40s and 50s might be screaming “help me” from the inside out.

This isn’t woo-woo wellness. It’s the science-backed, slightly awkward, completely fascinating conversation every midlifer needs to hear.

-------------------------

This episode gets into:

💩 The real deal on faecal microbiota transplants (yep, we said poo)

🧠 Why your gut could be causing your mood swings, fatigue or fog

🔥 How hormones, stress and midlife chaos show up in your microbiome

🥗 What to actually eat for better gut health (it’s simpler than you think)

🚽 Why “Poo at Work” would be Craig’s billboard message to the world

🏥 The wellness myths Craig can’t stand and what actually works

-------------------------

Craig brings his brilliant, grounded, science-first mind to a conversation that will make you rethink everything from your morning smoothie to your afternoon slump.

Whether you’re battling bloating, stuck in survival mode, or just curious about how to feel better, this one’s for you.

Hit play, trust your gut, and maybe text your bestie: “OMG, you have to hear this episode. Also… have you ever heard of a poo transplant?” 💥
