More interesting than I imagined
I am one of those people who eats healthy and cooks from scratch so I thought there would be nothing new and surprising in this podcast but decided to give it a try... Gosh I was wrong... only in one episode my whole “ knowledge “ about gut health has been turned over ... I’m really enjoying it !

Great episode
It is very informative podcast, well structured as well as motivating. It actually makes you aware of the importance of acting now but not having to make drastic changes if you are already following the basic rules. It is a must for everyone.

Quite appealing though not all of it
A wonderful introduction to general nutrition and useful nutritional information by Dr. Joanna McMillan in this episode one of the Gutfull podcast. Her advice on eating vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds is spot on. Am happy to listen to the good advice.
While I enjoyed the episode and agree with most of Dr. Joanna's advice, I am surprised about advocacy on bread. While traditional sourdough bread is way healthier than modern loaves of bread as Dr. Joanna mentions, still wheat is been known to be causing havoc in gut health. And I am not sure if the kinds of flours used are all healthy indeed. I have seen a quite a few people in my life and circles whose health did become much better from the moment they stopped eating food with gluten.
And, the protein she mentioned in bread is quite different from protein in quinoa or eggs from my understanding. However, probably not everyone is looking for the complete protein or better sources of protein.
Lastly, after diving deep into nutrition for personal health, we stopped all added sugars from our diet (and have never gotten sick even for a day since). To snack, we brought a dehydrator to make dried fruits ourselves and it was all great initially. However, things changed drastically later. If only we knew back then what those stuck dried fruit can do to dental health, I would have never even consumed a single dried fruit (who doesn't like a beautiful shiny white pearly smile). While two fresh apricots and four dried apricot halves might be same nutritionally, the sugar content of dried apricots (or any dried fruit for that matter) is much concentrated than fresh fruit and will stick to teeth while a fresh fruit seldom damages teeth, dried fruit will adversely affect dental health, most probably, unless one brushes teeth religiously after each dried fruit consumption session.
Health and wellness is a complicated stuff. While there is no one single fit for all solution, somethings work best some while other things work for some others. If traditional diets did work for everyone (excluding all junk food), there would never be a need for various different diets. These diets only exist because people were able to improve their health using them. So, in my humble opinion, food is a freedom of choice and if someone has excluded bread and is feeling better and healthier, they are better off continuing to do so instead of being confused as to what is right and what is wrong for there is none as long as one is healthy short term and long term.

Informative and easy to understand
I loved this series starting with the first episode. What I took away is healthy really means balanced, all types of food and a variety of them, down to earth approach. Definitely worth listening, I am listening this for the second time

Loved the information
Once a day great time spent, information is digestible and when I know why and how it affects my body I am more likely to chose healthier options
