Gut health is essential. Dr. Elena Ivanina sheds light on the microbiome’s critical role in digestion, immunity, the nervous system, and hormone regulation. Describing the microbiome as a complex ecosystem within the gut, she advocates for a personalized approach to assessing and treating gut issues. She emphasizes the power of labwork to uncover nutrient deficiencies and inflammation.
Joining podcast host Chloe Harrouche, Dr. Ivanina stresses the value of a fiber-rich diet, recommending a goal of 30 different plants weekly while tracking fiber intake. They also discuss microbiome imbalances, such as SIBO, and the effects of antibiotics, including the risk of C. diff infections.
