Episode Summary: 

In this episode, James Newbury and Roslyn Kent discuss the power of plant-based eating in support of a healthy gut microbiome. Roslyn brings her extensive personal and professional experience with functional digestive disorders to the podcast, illuminating a systematic, plant-based approach to healing one’s gut that is both easy to follow and scientifically driven. 

 

The duo discusses the impact of stress and nervous system dysregulation in the pathogenesis of GI disorders, as well as simple lifestyle changes, such as removing inflammatory foods like dairy and gluten, that can have a huge impact on gut motility and the function of the gut microbiome.
