Gut health plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion to immune function and even mental health. The gut houses trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the microbiome, which work to break down food, absorb nutrients, and protect against pathogens.

Recent research shows that a diet rich in diverse plant-based foods is key to nurturing a balanced microbiome, which is why experts like Dr. Will Bulsiewicz advocate for eating “30 plants a week” to maximize gut health and diversity.

Anyone who has listened to this podcast knows that we aren't big fans of band-aids. Patching things up without getting to the root cause isn't the way to long-term success when it comes to our health. That's why we are huge fans of functional medicine.

It views the body as an interconnected system where imbalances in one area can affect overall health. Practitioners of functional medicine focus on identifying how factors such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle contribute to an individual's health problems. So, we couldn't be more thrilled to have Lacy Lain on the show to share her approach in the functional medicine space.
