In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show (formerly Health & Fitness Redefined), we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood areas of health: the gut microbiome. Norm Robillard, Ph.D., breaks down how millions of microbes in your GI tract influence digestion, energy, weight loss, inflammation, and overall gut function.
We explore how the Fast Tract Diet helps reduce gut symptoms by controlling fermentation, why certain carbs wreak havoc on your microbiome, and how conditions like IBS, SIBO, lactose intolerance, and gut dysbiosis can be dramatically improved through nutrition—not medication.
If you suffer from bloating, gas, reflux, IBS, or constant digestive discomfort, this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been missing.
