In this episode of the podcast, Steven Bartlett interviews Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, a gastroenterologist, about gut health and the gut microbiome. They discuss the importance of gut microbes, how they affect various aspects of health including mood, metabolism, and immunity, and how they are acquired. They delve into the impact of food, particularly fiber and fermented foods, on the gut microbiome, and the roles of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. The conversation also covers gut transit time, stool types and colors as indicators of gut health, fecal transplants, the brain-gut connection, and the influence of gut health on sexual attraction. Dr. Bulsiewicz emphasizes the significance of a diverse plant-based diet and lifestyle choices for maintaining a healthy gut and overall well-being, and the potential risks of relying solely on pharmaceutical solutions like Ozempic.
