In this powerful episode of Heal Thyself, Dr. G explores the gut-brain connection and why your gut may be the real driver of your physical and emotional health. Joined by world-renowned microbiome expert Dr. Tim Spector, they dive deep into the truth about the carnivore diet—exposing how it may harm gut microbiome diversity and increase long-term health risks. Together, they break down why diversity is key—not just in your life, but in your gut. Expect practical, science-backed insights on how fiber, polyphenols, fermented foods, and even everyday spices can transform your gut health and, by extension, your mood, immune system, and even your cancer risk. Dr. G and Dr. Spector also unpack the role of prebiotics like Zoe’s Daily 30 and shift the conversation away from restrictive diets and calorie-counting toward a holistic, food-quality-first approach. If you're ready to fuel your emotional and physical vitality from the inside out, this episode is your gut check.
