The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ
Interview with Giulia Enders about her book Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ. Discusses that the gut is a robust, rather than fragile, organ; that improving gut health involves gradual dietary shifts towards enjoyable, fibrous foods, optimising food preparation (e.g., cooling starches), and embracing dietary diversity. Sugar, ultra-processed foods, and chronic stress contribute to gut inflammation and dysbiosis. Covers practical insights from stool analysis, effective post-antibiotic gut recovery, optimal defecation posture, and the effects of alcohol and coffee.
