When most people hear "gut health," they think about digestion, bloating, constipation, or stomach problems. But the gut is connected to so much more. In this episode of Dr. Jeff & Friends , Dr. Jeff sits down with special guest Dr. Jessica Buhler to explore why the gut may be one of the most important biological ecosystems in the body. We discuss the connection between gut health and: • The gut microbiome • Inflammation • Immune function • Metabolism • Hormones • Brain health and mood • The gut-brain connection • Diet and ultra-processed foods • Overall health and wellness We also look at what can happen when the microbiome becomes disrupted and why improving gut health may be an important place to start when trying to improve overall health. Your gut isn't simply a tube that processes food. It communicates with your immune system, your metabolism, and even your brain. The bigger question isn't just, "How is your digestion?" It's "How healthy is the ecosystem living inside you?" ️ Dr. Jeff & Friends Conversations about health, wellness, longevity, and the biology behind how our bodies work.
