49 Feeding the 38 trillion creatures in your colon could transform your health | Dr. Will Bulsiewicz
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz went to school for 14 years to become a gastroenterologist.

As a young doctor, he realized that public perception of the gut microbiome was lacking. When he gave a talk about colon microbes at his hospital, the intimate event became a standing-room only fire code violation. That's when he knew the world was hungry for more information, and the Internet was calling. Appearing on some...
