Episode 184: Dr. Will Bulsiewicz & The Healing Power of Fiber

“When you increase the fiber in your diet, you decrease your likelihood of dying from heart disease, cancers, and many of the world’s top killers.”

-Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, Gastroenterologist & Bestselling Author

 
 

On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the amazing Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. Dr. B is board certified Gastroenterologist, gut health expert, and New York Times Bestselling Author of Fiber Fueled. We talk about how despite being a trained doctor from top universities Dr. B didn’t know how to heal himself, how he began to heal himself with diet, how he became a leading expert in gut health and the microbiome, why many people often don’t feel good when they increase their fiber, why “high protein” diets often feel best in the short term, why we are more microbe than we are human, the incredible benefits of fiber on our microbiome, the role of short chain fatty acids in disease prevention, and the very real connection between our guts and mental health.
