⚡️HUGE NEWS!!!⚡️ For the past 3 years, I've been GRINDING on a top secret 🤫 project that very few people knew about -- until now. Drumroll please....🥁🥁 Introducing my new book: PLANT POWERED PLUS For the first time, you will see and understand INFLAMMATION. You will realize how wide spread this is, contributing to 100+ health conditions. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, you will have a plan to fix it. It turns out that the solution lies deep inside of us... IN THE GUT. Perhaps surprising, but our gut and immune system are so closely linked, that the best way to reduce inflammation is to heal the gut. In Plant Powered Plus, you'll be orienting through the gut-immune connection to reclaim your health, fight inflammation, and supercharge your immune system by healing your gut. Released on Jan 13, together we're going to make 2026 a turning point in our fight against inflammation. PREORDER NOW! PS - Support local bookstores! You can get a SIGNED COPY from my local shop -- Blue Bicycle (@bluebicyclebooks) -- for the same price. (link in bio). You'll also notice I have a new website!

A randomized trial just measured something I never thought we’d be able to measure: the structure of a baby’s brain, in utero, by what the mother ate. The IMPACT BCN trial randomized 1,221 pregnant women in Barcelona into three arms — Mediterranean diet, stress reduction, or usual care. A subset of 124 had MRIs late in the third trimester. The babies in the Mediterranean-diet arm had a measurably deeper right insula (P=0.03), a deeper left insula (P=0.01), and a longer corpus callosum (P<0.01) compared with the babies in the usual-care arm. The stress-reduction arm also showed a deeper left insula vs usual care (P=0.04) — same direction, smaller effect. The Mediterranean-diet arm wasn’t a vague “eat Mediterranean” instruction. Participants got monthly counseling plus free olive oil and walnuts. The broader pattern — vegetables, fruit, legumes, fish, whole grains — was taught, not provided. A real protocol, not a label. The effect sizes were real, but small. We don’t yet know what those structural differences mean for these kids at age five or fifteen. But they were detectable in utero, on MRI, from a dietary pattern. That alone is remarkable. This is the kind of finding that strengthens the “diet quality matters” frame at the most consequential life stage of all. The Mediterranean pattern is one of the most well-studied templates in human nutrition, which is why it was heavily featured in my new book Plant Powered Plus. And now we see its effects during pregnancy. Something that struck me about the design: the intervention didn’t start until mid-pregnancy. What if it started earlier? What if it started before pregnancy? Even a mid-pregnancy diet change is impactful — love that. But I’d encourage starting as early as possible. Even today. Why not? If you’re pregnant or trying to be, the food choice you’re making is doing more work than you may realize. Featured Study: Nakaki A et al.

Have you tried these fiber enriched sodas? I have, in hopes for a nice treat that will bump up my fiber, and it totally backfired on me with intense discomfort. Part 2 of my conversation with gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz @theguthealthmd is live—and this is where we get into the topics people secretly want to ask about but rarely talk about. We dive into constipation, bloating, gas, fiber mistakes, the best pooping posture, and what your poop can actually tell you about your gut health. Dr. B explains why fiber sometimes makes symptoms worse before they get better, how gut bacteria produce gas, and why your stool can reveal a lot about what’s happening inside your microbiome. If you’ve ever wondered whether your bowel habits are normal—or why your gut sometimes feels like it has a mind of its own—this episode is packed with insights.

What if better gut health was the key to lowering inflammation—and supporting how you age? There’s so much noise around nutrition… but when you strip it all back, most approaches actually agree on one thing: Your body needs more of what it’s missing. Not restriction. Not extremes. Not chasing every new food trend. But consistently giving your body the nutrients it needs to function well. Because when your gut is supported? ✔️ Inflammation comes down ✔️ Energy improves ✔️ Your body works with you—not against you And it doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about small, sustainable shifts that add up over time. 🎙️ In episode 57 of YOUR HEALTHIEST HEALTHY, I sit down with guest expert Dr. Will Bulsiewicz @theguthealthmd to talk about how to heal your gut, reduce inflammation, and simplify the way you approach nutrition. Comment “PODCAST” and I’ll send you the episode. 👇

If you’re on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro you’re changing more than your appetite. The 2026 microbiome data is real, and almost nobody is talking about it. Here’s the short version: these drugs meaningfully reshape your gut bacteria, much of it in a direction we’d consider healthy. But they also suppress your appetite for everything, including the plants your microbes depend on. That’s the tradeoff nobody’s explaining at the prescription pad. I’m not anti-GLP-1. I prescribe responsibly. I’m pro-microbiome, and I want the people on these medications to get the full return on what they’re paying for. If you’re on one, here’s the single most important move you can make: treat every bite like it has to do more work than it used to. Fiber first. Plants first. Protein covered. Your microbiome is along for this ride either way.

Do you have itchy skin from atopic dermatitis/eczema? That may be a manifestation of what’s happening in your gut. A new paper in Immunity mapped a molecular bridge. In mice, losing a gut-lining sensor depleted Akkermansia muciniphila. TMA-producing bacteria moved in. Circulating TMAO rose. T-cells skewed toward Th2 — the branch that drives allergy, IgE, and eczema. In people with atopic dermatitis, plasma TMAO tracked with disease severity and IgE. So what do you do with this? Here’s where I’d start, based upon this study: TEST. TMAO is a blood test your doctor can order. Worth a conversation— especially if you have atopic dermatitis. EAT. Feed Akkermansia. Pomegranate, cranberries, dark berries, green tea, extra virgin olive oil, cocoa. Plant-based foods starve the TMA-producing microbes. Broaden to 30+ plants per week. Whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices all count. SUPPLEMENT. 38TERA DMN is a supplement I personally formulated (I’m the Co-Founder of 38TERA) that was shown in a 15-day M-SHIME gut-simulator study to significantly increase Akkermansia levels and reduce inflammation markers. Not particularly surprising because it contains 7 plant-based prebiotic ingredients, including polyphenols from kiwifruit, lingonberry, mango, and beetroot. As I said, Akkermansia loves polyphenols.

Think of your gut after a bad flare, food poisoning, or a course of antibiotics like a city after a flood. The water goes down. The inflammation clears. But the roads have cracks and potholes, and traffic never flows quite the same way afterwards. That used to just be a metaphor. Now a new paper gives us a piece of the biology underneath it. The condition is real — gastroenterologists call it post-inflammatory (or post-infectious) IBS — and we’ve been studying it for years. What this paper adds is one specific thread: how inflammation leaves your gut’s nervous system physically rewired. It’s a mouse study, but it fits a pattern I’ve seen in my patients for years. Here’s what the science supports for repairing the roads: Try gut-directed hypnotherapy. An underused, evidence-informed tool we have for the nervous-system piece. Feed your microbes with soluble fiber. Fiber feeds the microbes that produce short-chain fatty acids — the molecules that patch the lining after inflammation damages it. (Moayyedi 2014 meta-analysis, PMID 25070054) 38TERA DMN is an example of a quality prebiotic with evidence from a controlled microbiome study showing a significant increase in SCFAs (acetate) after 3 days of use and continued increase in acetate, propionate and butyrate across 15 days of use. Try peppermint oil. Recommended by the ACG 2021 guidelines for IBS and abdominal pain. (Not for people with reflux.) So the good news: The roads can be repaved. The wiring can be retrained.

Every week, somebody asks what to do about microplastics. For a long time my answer was “we don’t have the human data yet.” Now we do. The 2026 Gut Microbes (PMC12818824) review pulls together the first real human research— and the pattern is concerning enough to act on, without being dramatic enough to panic about. Beneficial bacteria down. Pathogens up. Barrier function impaired. I’m not here to scare you. I’m here to tell you what I actually do, and why your gut is nowhere near as helpless in this as the headlines suggest. Your microbiome is the most adaptable system in your body. Feed it well, and it does a remarkable amount of the repair work for you. Save this for the next time someone you love starts spiraling about plastic.

5 minutes of sleep. 2 minutes of exercise. 1 more year of life. A study of 59,000 people just proved you don’t need a massive lifestyle overhaul to live longer — you need small, consistent wins across three areas.

You’ve Been Pooping All Wrong by @trishapasrichamd Look… everyone poops. And we all have questions. What’s normal? What’s that food doing in there? How can I poop like a pro? This book has the answers and you will love it! Grab your copy today!

You can poop every single day and still be constipated. I know that sounds counterintuitive— but as a gastroenterologist I see this constantly. Constipation isn’t just about frequency. It’s about quality. If you’re straining, feeling incomplete, or sitting there for 10 minutes and still feel like something’s left behind— that’s constipation. Even if you went yesterday. The number one cause? Not enough of the RIGHT kinds of fiber to fully move things through. Save this if you’ve ever felt “regular” but not quite right. Your gut is trying to tell you something.
