  • Experts and great info!

    Having these two come together to share expert information is brilliant! They are both highly respected professionals in their field and genuinely believe in interdisciplinary collaboration. I know this because I regularly refer to them and the plethora of resources that they create. This podcast is an excellent way for people to learn more or expand their understanding.

  • High quality, informative and evidenced based

    In a day and age where we don’t know what to trust the Gut Health Podcast and its host bring a breeze of reliable, up-to-date and user friendly information that focuses not only fixing a problem but looks at the so important human aspect and mental health.

    After the first episode I have shared it with colleagues and patients as a complement of my consultations as a dietitian.

  • Great content- CEU potential?

    This content is fabulous. As a dietitian, It has helped me realize how behind I am in the knowledge of gut health and has left me eager to learn more. I started listening because my patients (ESRD) have so many GI issues and I feel like I can’t help them. We send them to GI doctors and they come back saying nothing is wrong. Just a suggestion- It would be great if your podcast provided CEU’s. It’s more scientific based than all other nutrition podcasts I listen to. Thank you!

  • Tears

    This is by _far_ the most relatable conversation about gut and digestive issues I have found. The hosts are knowledgeable and a joy to listen to. The guests, all science-based folks, are bringing data but still are so human.

    Love, love this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Your Gut Gets in the Bedroom: Exploring Sexual Health & Intimacy (with expert guest, Alyse Bedell, PhD, CST)
Q: So let's get into this with a myth. What myth would you like to bust pertaining to sexual wellness?
The guest challenges the idea that sex must be spontaneous for it to be pleasurable, emphasizing that planning, communication, and managing GI symptoms can still allow for a satisfying intimate life.
Perimenopause & Menopause: Hormones, Gut Health & Whole-Body Wellness (with guests Drs. Chrisandra Shufelt and Jami Kinnucan)
Q: How do changes in hormones, estrogen and progesterone, during perimenopause affect metabolic health and body composition?
Estrogen decline and progesterone fluctuations during perimenopause lead to shifts in body composition, with central fat gain and loss of lean mass; metabolic parameters such as cholesterol and blood pressure can worsen, increasing metabolic syndrome risk, but there is an opportunity for prevention and proactive management with providers.
Miracle or Misused? Benefits, Risks, and Responsible Use of GLP-1s (with guest Supriya Rao, MD)
Q: How do we know whether a patient is a good candidate for GLP-1 therapy?
The adherence to the medication and their metabolic profile are significant predictors of success with GLP-1 therapy.
Miracle or Misused? Benefits, Risks, and Responsible Use of GLP-1s (with guest Supriya Rao, MD)
Q: What's your perspective on using GLP-1s for weight management?
The medications require patient commitment to lifestyle changes and monitoring for potential side effects while they help in weight management and improving metabolic health.
Mind-Body Medicine: Psilocybin and the Gut (with guests Emeran Mayer, MD and Erin Mauney, MD)
Q: Dr. Mayer, which impacts the gut more, stress or diet?
Chronic stress has a more profound negative effect on the gut than diet.
