Gut Microbiome

Your gut isn't just digesting your food — it's talking to your metabolism, your hormones, and even your mood. It's been called our "second brain" — as it might be one of the most underrated players in your metabolic health. In this episode, Dr. Deepti Sharma explores the gut microbiome: the trillions of bacteria living in your digestive tract and the outsized role they play in weight regulation, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and chronic disease risk. Why do some people struggle to lose weight despite doing "everything right"? Why does gut health look different across cultures and diets? Dr. Sharma breaks down the science — and separates what's proven from what's just probiotic marketing.
