The Power of Microbiome Diversity: The Secret to a Healthy Gut — with Dr. Alan Desmond

[Dr. Cyrus Khambatta has since decided to leave Mastering Diabetes and is no longer with the company. We wish him all the best.]

One thing you need to remember about the human digestive system is that — it's incredibly adaptable. So here's Dr. Alan Desmond to talk about why a standard American diet is deficient and does not promote microbial diversity; which is, by the way, the secret to a healthy gut. Dr. Alan cites one study that suggests eating at least 30 different plant foods a week will transform your health.

With all the information available at the tip of our fingertips, you probably have heard from skeptics saying a fiber-rich diet is not beneficial to your gut health at all. Well, here's a scientific explanation - made simple - that will surely disappoint the critics of whole food, plant-based nutrition. And you'll find out how eating diverse plant foods create microbial diversity that gives the body strong defense against diseases.

About Dr Alan Desmond: As a doctor specialising in gut health problems, I have made evidence-based dietary advice an essential part of my clinical practice. The results I have seen in my gastroenterology clinic have led me to become dedicated a dedicated advocate for the gut health benefits, and overall health benefits, of a whole-food plant-based approach to nutrition. I have presented at numerous international conferences alongside renowned plant-based advocates such as Dr Michael Greger, Dr Michael Klaper, Dietician Brenda Davis, Dr Kim Williams, and Dr Neal Barnard. I am an Ambassador for Plant-Based Health Professionals UK, a not-for-profit group which educates the public, health professionals, and policy makers on the incredible health benefits of a plant-based diet.
