"Our healthcare system has failed to give people with food intolerances the help they deserve." Today, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Dr. Will Bulsiewicz—better known as Dr. B, The Gut Health MD, board-certified Gastroenterologist, bestselling author of Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook, and U.S. Medical Director of the personalized nutrition company ZOE.

Together, we dive deep into the misunderstood world of IBS, food intolerances, and how to reclaim your gut health—drawing on years of clinical experience and a shared passion for evidence-based, plant-powered healing.

We discuss:

Why traditional healthcare often fails people living with IBS and food-related intolerances
How frustrated patients can finally break through and make lasting progress
Why adopting a plant-based diet can feel challenging
The G.R.O.W.T.H. strategy—Dr. B’s step-by-step, science-backed framework for rebuilding food tolerance
How Dr. B stays consistent with his own Fiber Fueled lifestyle, even when life gets hectic

This episode is full of practical tips, clinical insights, and real talk from two gastroenterologists who believe in the healing power of the food on our plates.

Whether you’re navigating IBS yourself, supporting someone who is, or just want to better understand your gut—this conversation is for you.
