@femalelongevity: Your gut is the foundation of your health. When it comes to optimizing gut health, I think about it in three steps: test to identify what’s going on, address potential pathogens, and then nourish the gut with fiber, antioxidants, and a nutrient-dense diet. Gut dysfunction is also one of the factors involved in the development of autoimmunity, which is why supporting your gut is about so much more than digestion. Start with the gut.
