Dr. Paul Anderson is back on the show this week, this time talking all about gut health and how to optimize our gut through lifestyle, exercise, nutrition, and stress management. Todd’s own health changed when he cut out gluten and found chronic symptoms like headaches and joint pain were no longer plaguing him. For this episode Todd invites Dr. Anderson to introduce us to the basics of gut health—diving into the brain-gut axis, probiotics versus prebiotics, the dangers of antibiotics, and tests anyone can do to determine what’s irritating their gut.

The two close out their conversation by looking at steps we can all take to optimize our gut health. The gut is truly the beginning and end of so many health problems, but working towards a healthy gut doesn’t have to be impossible. Gut health is a skill you can acquire and master if equipped with the right knowledge and tools.
