Full Episode
The number one killer today is not smoking, it's not war, not infections, it's food. When you look at the Global Burden of Disease Study, which looked at 195 countries, they said that 11 million people die from ultra-processed food and from not getting enough of the good foods.
And I think a lot of people don't even realize it. We make GLP-1 in our bodies and it responds to satiation. And if you eat nutrient dense foods, you actually release the GLP-1 that stops you from overeating. Ultra processed food is what makes people hungry. Our gut is the gateway to optimal health. Now people get it. And when I started on this, people thought I was crazy.
You were early on talking about the importance of gut health and its myriad of conditions that come from gut dysbiosis.
Basically, our intestines the size of a tennis court laid out flat, but it's only one cell thick is the lining. So it's one cell between you and a sewer. That's a very important dynamic. And when that dynamic breaks down, we get really sick. And when you get to the root, you don't have to treat each thing separately.
You know, it's somebody that is going down this road of saying, you know, I really do realize the importance of my gut health. Where do I start?
Functional medicine is where we start. We start with nutrition and gut repair. And if you do that...
Today on The Ultimate Human, we have a true pioneer, a personal mentor of mine, and an absolute icon in the wellness and functional medicine space.
