Impact Theory
About this episode

Digestive diseases are affecting tens of millions of people everyday. So often gut issues are being misdiagnosed and ineffectively handled due to poor diet, misinformation, and general confusion. In this episode, the Gut Health MD, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (or Dr. B for short) breaks down what is really going on with the microbiome and what we can do to stop damaging it and start supporting it. He drops some shocking facts about microbes and even how your past trauma and unresolved emotional scars can impact the health of your gut.


Dr. Bulsiewicz is well researched and an actively practicing physician that wants to simplify how you can improve your overall health by understanding your unique ecosystem and making better food choices to change your microbiome as early as tomorrow.
