09 Dec 2025
In this episode, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz walks us through unseen forces shaping our health, energy, and emotional lives. From the chemicals in our food system to the hidden drivers of inflammation and burnout, we dive into why so many people today feel exhausted, misaligned, and disconnected from their true well-being.We examine how modern culture normalizes habits and environments that work against our biology, and why healing requires more than symptom management — it demands addressing the root causes, rebuilding alignment, and taking ownership of what we allow into our bodies and minds.20% off Pique Life Tea (FREE glass beaker and frother!):https://www.piquelife.com/knowthyselfAndrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro: Will Bulsiewicz02:34 How much of our mood is controlled by our gut?09:40 Two diseases: individualism and materialism23:30 The intelligence that lives in our gut35:31 Ad: Pique Life36:46 What is immune intelligence?48:01 Detoxing from environmental toxins54:54 Why are chemical companies allowed to poison us?57:39 A short horror story1:02:45 Looking out for what to avoid1:05:27 The effects of factory farming on our bodies1:17:36 Humans are the microbes of the Earth1:26:23 Conclusion: Changing the world___________Episode Resources: https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Powered-Plus-Activate-Inflammation/dp/0593418794https://www.instagram.com/theguthealthmd/https://theguthealthmd.com/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com
