In this episode we are joined by Dr. Gabrielle Fundaro to discuss 'Gut Health' and the gut microbiome.
We have been looking forward to having Gabrielle on the podcast for weeks! If you look Dr. Gabrielle up you will soon discover her impressive list of education, credentials and experience. From a PhD to powerlifting, bodybuilding, nature and dog lover.
Her taking the time from her busy schedule to talk with us on the Bodcast was so appreciated.
Gut Health has been a very trendy topic and there is so much mis-information, vague information, changing information and misconceptions out there.
Dr. Gabrielle helps take us through separating fact from myth and going deeper into this fascinating topic.
We discuss:
What exactly is 'Gut Health?'
What is the gut microbiome?
How the microbiome is effected very early on from birth and maybe in utero.
The importance of early childhood diet on the microbiome.
The importance of fibre and eating a variety of plants.
Probiotics vs prebiotics.
Recommended fibre intakes.
The effect of fad diets on the microbiome.
The effects of antibiotics on the microbiome.
Are artificial sugars bad for the microbiome?
And more!
We absolutely loved talking with Dr. Gabrielle and we hope you enjoy this information packed episode.
