Gut Check: Nutrition & Your Digestive Health

Gastrointestinal health complaints form a large proportion of the reasons people visit their doctors—even though few people like to talk about what's going on down there. And Medcan's registered dietitians often get questions about how to promote digestion. So our Eat host, Leslie Beck, Medcan's clinical director of food and nutrition, suggested a guide to all the gut, microbiome and digestive tract questions our listeners might otherwise not be comfortable asking. Here, Beck is joined by Medcan gastroenterologist Dr. Bharat Markandey to tackle: What foods promote gut health? Do probiotics and prebiotics work? And how can you tell whether everything's working correctly? It's all in here—and more!  Check out the episode webpage for links and more info.
