Prof & Doctor Michael Ruscio Delivers a Gut Health & Performance Game Changer: Your Gut Type? Do You Know it? & Much More!
This is an episode I wish everyone would listen to. Gut health genuinely builds the foundation of our health, but it is far more nuanced and fascinating than even I realized! Gut types and probiotic types are crucial to any decision we make about what we eat and the types of gut health optimization products we buy or waste money on. This is a gut game-changer.
Dr. Michael Ruscio is a DC, Naturopathic Practitioner, researcher, and clinician. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Bridgeport and has published numerous papers in scientific journals.
Dr. Ruscio’s mission is to empower people on their journey to optimal health through accessible and evidence-based information. Every piece of content is focused on demystifying complex concepts, breaking down cutting-edge research, and providing actionable insights.
Join us as we explore:
The unexpected diagnosis that changed Dr Ruscio’s path forever, why it’s more common that you think and why it would be prudent for you to test for it.
Gut health! It’s been a buzz word for a while now, but too few really understand how to prioritize, maintain and optimize it.
The three “types” of guts, how to identify yours, GI mapping and how this is crucial to deciding what and how you should eat.
Stools! Yup, poop. How often, what it looks like matters and why you should be observing it and using that data to make food choices.
A 101 masterclass on probiotics, enzymes and gut supplements.
