Gut Microbiome with Dr Ujjwal Sonika, M.D.

Welcome to episode 16. This episode is about understanding our digestive health. There is a whole universe of microorganisms that live within our gut, they feed off the food that we eat and they release a bunch of chemicals that impact pretty much all aspects of our health from digestion, to immunity, to cognitive function, and even affect the way we age.  There seems to be a consensus on the fact that a healthy gut microbiome is the key to a healthy life, and yet we understand so little about it. In this episode I speak with Dr Ujjwal Sonika who is an associate professor of Gastroenterology at Maulana Azad Medical College. He is also a published author, and one of his books was co-authored with a friend of the podcast Dr Medha Kapoor who you met in episode 02. The book is called Gut bacteria - The secret to health, I’ll link this and his other book in the show notes, you can go check them out. Through this conversation, I tried to form a surface level understanding of these tiny little dudes and dudettes that live inside of our gut in communities of trillions and have such a massive influence on our health. We talked about the effects of antibiotics, alcohol, painkillers and numerous other things that affect the microbiome negatively and also some of the ways in which we can improve this. Even if you’re not interested in this subject, I urge you to develop an interest for this because I believe learning about health isn’t just for coaches and trainers and doctors. It is equally important for you to gain an appreciation of your inner world, because in the end, it is you who makes the all important choices, it is you who executes the plan, it is you who brings about the change. with the hope that you’ll listen right till the end, I present to you Dr Ujjwal Sonika and me in the Final your ultra podcast episode 16, ENJOY!
