Show by Dr Talks
In this episode, I sit down with gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to discuss why gut health involves more than food and fiber. We examine how stress, trauma, and the body's survival response can influence digestion, inflammation, and the gut microbiome. Will shares lessons from his mentor, Dr. Douglas Drossman, a remarkable patient experience, and his personal journey of reconnecting with his father. Together, we explore how emotional safety, compassion, meaningful relationships, and finding purpose can support healing.- - - - -About the Guest:Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, MD, also known as Dr. B, is a double board-certified gastroenterologist, gut health expert, and New York Times bestselling author of Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook.
