Gut health is one of the hottest topics in the medical industry right now, as research is revealing the critical role it plays in all aspects of health. Dr. Stephen Barrie is executive with Viome – which is a company that tests and tracks the exact composition of your microbiome. Chronic illnesses caused by an imbalance in the microbiome are a huge hindrance to performing to your full potential, and Dr. Barrie shares how Viome maps your gut and shows you the foods you need to eat (and avoid) to restore balance. Elliot and Dr. Barrie also discuss how optimizing your microbiome improves performance for those who wouldn't immediately identify as having a gut health problem. In This Episode... [2:05] Did you know there are 100 trillion microbial cells in and on the human body? That's 10x the 10 trillion human cells we have.

[9:40] How to stabilize and control the composition of your gut microbiome so you can gradually increase the variety of foods that are healthy for you to eat. [12:58] Ever give in to sugar cravings that you know are bad for you? Discover how bad bacteria literally hijack your thoughts, feelings, and emotions to manipulate your behavior for their own benefit. [16:10] How to gain an extra edge by optimizing your microbiome, even if you think your gut health seems perfectly fine.
