Dr Will Bulsiewicz breaks down why your gut microbiome, 38 trillion bacteria living in your colon, controls far more than digestion. It's the most powerful predictor of inflammation, directly connected to metabolism, hormones, mood, and cognitive function.
In this conversation, we unpack fibre as the longevity nutrient, why your gut works like a muscle that needs training, and the four nutritional workhorses that squash inflammation. We explore why variety matters more than "superfood" lists, how athletes can leverage their microbiome for performance, and why starting with diet beats chasing expensive peptides.
