I think actually in some ways it makes what I'm saying even more powerful because I am a so-called expert. So I'm a medical doctor. I've done my specialist exams. I've done my general practice exams. I've got an immunology degree. I'm a professor at Chester Medical School. Expertise. I've got the expertise, but I still would have to say, Chris, to you or any of your audience,

I simply cannot know exactly what is the right approach for you. I can give you frameworks and guidelines, but ultimately you have to determine what is the right approach for you. And yes, we can help. I'm not saying ignore experts, Chris. I'm saying I think the balance has shifted too far now.

And what's happened is when we basically think that the expert has the answer and I'm following their advice and I'm not feeling better, we never think they're the failure.

We think we're the failure and we're struggling and actually we're not good enough. And it makes us feel inferior. And in that chapter, there's a case study of, you know, a real life case study of a patient who came to see me once. She was very, very interested in health. She would listen to health podcasts and read all the health books and,

And she had heard a gut health expert say that you should aim to have 30 different plant foods in a week because that will help you have a healthy gut microbiome. Right. So she's trying to follow that in her life. And she feels awful every time she tries to follow it. Okay. And then she tries to go slowly and introduced really, really gradually. Okay. She's getting bloated.

She's getting constipated. She can't sleep properly. She comes in to see me and says, Dr. Chastity, I'm trying my best here. I know that I need to have these 30 different plant foods for a healthy gut microbiome, but I just don't feel good. And what I said to her, Chris, was, listen, I'm not criticizing the advice that you read online at all.

I'm simply saying that no one piece of health advice holds true for every single person. Would you like me... to help you figure out what is the right approach for you. And it only took us about six weeks. And for her, at that point in her life, Chris, she went onto a more low carb type of diet with five to 10 different plant foods a week. And she's rocking, she's thriving.
