We’re following all of the gut health advice on the internet and our guts feel maybe worse than ever. We’re bloated, we’re constipated, AND all of the videos we’re watching are contradicting each other. Do we have leaky gut? Should we be fibermaxxing? Why does the fiber make us fart so much? On the Liz Moody Podcast, we're always looking for the real science that can actually change our lives, so today I'm joined by Dr. Karan Rajan, an NHS surgeon, who has worked with the UN, World Health Organization, and British Red Cross. We're ranking gut health advice from social media, from the best advice to the advice you should definitely ignore. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The truth about leaky gut • Why polyphenols are a secret weapon for gut health • How to increase fiber without the gas • A 4-step protocol for strengthening your gut barrier • Prebiotics vs. probiotics • The real reason coffee makes you poop • Whether gluten, dairy, and cold drinks are harming your gut • How to train your gut Check out the previous ranking episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast: • Healthy Eating Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with Nutrition By Kylie) • Therapy Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with Lori Gottlieb) • Money Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with HerFirst100K) For more from Dr. Karan Rajan: • Website: https://www.drkaranrajan.com/ • Book: https://www.drkaranrajan.com/book • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkaranrajan/ Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
