Is food really medicine? Or is that only part of the story? In this honest and insightful episode of Trust Your Gut, we sit down with Shefaly Ravula—a physician assistant, culinary medicine educator, and gut health advocate—to explore the real role food plays in our well-being.
Shefaly shares her circuitous journey from traditional medicine to functional nutrition, and what she’s learned along the way. Together, we unpack the complex relationship between gut health, cardiometabolic wellness, and what food can (and can’t) do when it comes to healing.
Whether you're a kombucha brewer, fermentation fan, or just someone who cares deeply about what they eat—this conversation will challenge what you thought you knew about “food as medicine.” 🧠 What you'll learn: Why food isn’t always enough to heal How gut health impacts heart and metabolic function The powerful (but realistic) role of fermented foods How kombucha and culinary medicine can work with modern care.🎧 Grab your favorite brew, settle in, and prepare to trust your gut, literally and figuratively.
