Is Your Microbial Community Holding You Back from Optimal Health? - With Natasha Campbell McBride

Summary In this episode of the Keto Pro Podcast, Richard Smith interviews Dr. Natasha, a medical doctor and nutritionist, who discusses the GAPS nutritional protocol. Dr. Natasha shares her journey into nutrition after her child's autism diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of gut health in preventing chronic diseases. She explains how the GAPS diet aims to restore balance to the microbial community in the body through dietary changes, particularly focusing on the role of fermented foods and animal products. The conversation challenges conventional dietary wisdom and critiques industrial agriculture, advocating for a return to traditional farming practices and a diet rich in animal foods.
