Welcome to Ruby's Happy Place! We're talking healthy food today — especially fiber! Because #EverybodyLovesAGoodPoop.
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (hereafter "Dr. B") is a clinician, researcher, author, gut health expert, and Ruby and Anne's guest for episode 22.
If you're operating under the belief that fibrous foods taste about as good as the paper Dr. B's books are written on, listen on. There's so much good here, in information AND flavor.
Gut health is more critical than most of us know — sure, it affects our weight and muscle mass, but it can also impact our mood, energy levels, even our fertility.
Finding the right diet can help us feel like ourselves again, says Dr. B, and when he found the right nutrition for him, he knew he had to share his journey with his patients.
Will Bulsiewicz is a board certified gastroenterologist. He graduated from medical school at Georgetown School of Medicine and was Chief Medical Resident at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Chief Gastroenterology Fellow at The University of North Carolina Hospitals. He also holds a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation from Northwestern University and a Certificate in Nutrition from Cornell University.
Dr. B has won multiple awards and distinctions for his work as a clinician and researcher. His goal as a gut health doc is to be a trusted, research-based source helping people to create positive change in their lives. At the core of his philosophy is what he calls “lifestyle medicine,” which uses food, exercise, and other lifestyle factors to optimize your gut and get you back in control of your health.
When he is not working as a full-time gastroenterologist, Dr. B is writing and is twice now a New York Times bestselling author, first with Fiber Fueled and as of May 2022, with The Fiber Fueled Cookbook.
You can find more about Dr. B’s approach, his books, and his 2023 Masterclass on his website ThePlantFedGut.com or on social @TheGutHealthMD
