In this episode of The Best You Podcast, Nick sits down with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz—New York Times bestselling author, award-winning gastroenterologist, founder of 38TERA, and one of the world’s leading voices in gut health. Dr. B is passionate about helping people understand the foundational role their gut plays in both everyday health and long-term disease prevention.
We dive deep into the microbiome, the gut lining, the immune system, and how they’re all connected. Dr. B explains how conditions like constipation, bloating, diarrhea, IBS, and more are often rooted in gut dysfunction—and most importantly, what to do about it.
From how much fiber you should eat daily to how GLP-1s (like Ozempic and Wegovy) are affecting your gut, this conversation is packed with cutting-edge insight and practical takeaways.
What You’ll Learn:
● What your gut microbiome is and why it matters for your entire body
● How your gut lining affects immunity, inflammation, and long-term health
● How many different plants to eat each week for optimal microbiome diversity
● How much fiber Dr. B recommends daily (and why most of us fall short)
● How GLP-1 drugs are impacting digestion and gut health
● First steps to take if you're dealing with constipation, diarrhea, IBS, or general gut dysfunction
🎯 If you want to improve your digestion, support your immune system, or heal your gut once and for all—this episode is a must-listen.
