Over seven weeks, you will learn to heal your gut, optimize your microbiome and reverse dysbiosis so you can finally:
It wasn’t that long ago that my health and quality of life looked a lot different than it does today. I was in my early thirties, though I felt much older, and although I was doing my gastroenterology fellowship, I had a slew of my own digestive issues. A few spoonfuls of beans or whole-wheat pasta, for example, would set off waves of crippling abdominal pains, gas, and my insides felt a distended balloon. I’d toss and turn at night with stomach pains, feeling hungover the next day from lost sleep.
Back in those days, my solution was to avoid the issue. (Sound familiar?) I didn’t want to acknowledge that the food I was eating might be the problem. There were too many Philly cheesesteaks and Italian cold cut subs to inhale for me to miss the beans and whole grains. They certainly weren’t required for my tater tots.
We all have a personal gut story. What’s yours? In this course, we will figure out what parts of your past are contributing to the gut issues that you’re experiencing today. You can’t fix your gut if you don’t understand where the problem started!
You can’t properly know how to treat if you don’t know what you’re treating. You will get the education that you need to create an action plan that leads you to your diagnosis. We’ve had numerous participants uncover something that their doctor hadn’t thought of.
You’ve been told they are irreversible, that you should just eliminate the food and move on. This is flat out wrong! They are reversible, and this course will teach you the methodology to get those foods back on the plate and start enjoying them again.
Your gut connects to your digestion and nutrient absorption, immune system, inflammation, your weight balance, hormones and even mood and brain function. Whether you are sick and healthy, we all need to pay attention to our gut in order to achieve the radiant health that we deserve.
Your gut mirrors your diet and lifestyle, meaning that when you eat the right food and properly organize your life you will optimize your gut microbiome and in the process enjoy a cascade of health benefits that come with that.
Let’s dive into the microbiome to understand the concepts of gut health, dysbiosis, and the microbes. These foundational elements form the basis for understanding how to heal. We’ll create a vision for the future based upon a realistic expectation of what a healthy gut feels like so that we know where we’re going and what that will look like when we get there.
By the end of this lesson, you will understand how you can get to your diagnosis for why you’re sick. We’ll dive in symptom-by-symptom and you’ll go inside Dr. B’s brain to hear what he’s thinking about and how he approaches these individual issues. We’ll put a special focus on the role constipation, celiac disease and gluten intolerance play in the health of your gut and microbiome. You’ll understand the difference between a food sensitivity vs. allergy. We’ll identify the tests to take to address your symptoms and issues so that you can develop a plan for how to navigate the system to find your true diagnosis. How can you treat if you don’t know what you’re treating? It starts here.
People want to know, “What is your poo saying about you?” By the end of this lesson, you will understand the different variations of bowel movements and poop. You’ll understand the impact these variations have on your health as well as best next steps to take to alleviate symptoms and heal. Little did you realize how much information can be gathered from your bowel movements — the sixth vital sign!
Fiber forms the foundation of a healthy gut, but many people struggle to eat fiber when they’re suffering with digestive issues. It’s time to fix that! By the end of this lesson, you will understand the role, definition and importance of fiber and FODMAPs in your diet. You’ll also learn common fiber myths and the importance of a reintroduction diet versus strict elimination. It’s important to know exactly how to alter your diet to optimize your gut, so let’s do just that.
Every single one of us has a personal health journey with a backstory to it. By the end of this lesson, you will understand the primary culprits damaging your gut that include 21st century lifestyle (not sleeping, not eating fiber and exercising), food preservatives, antibiotics, medications (NSAIDs, PPIs, birth control), trauma and stress. This is about understanding how you got to where you are. What’s your gut health story? We’re going to define it this week and use that information as we move forward to address the root of our issues.
Gut health isn’t just about what you eat. In fact, those of you who suffer with food sensitivity can start healing today without challenging your gut with diet changes. By the end of this lesson, you’ll learn new lifestyle habits that will empower you to gently support and heal your gut health.
Supplements are sold to us as the key to optimal gut health, but are they? By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand the role of supplements in your gut health. We’ll debunk many of the common supplement myths and Dr. B will bring forward his recommendations for supplements to optimize your gut.
Joining The Plant Fed Gut Masterclass comes along with plenty of perks, and Dr. B’s Digestible Guide to Plant Points is one of them! If you’re not yet familiar, Plant Points are a fun way to meet my golden rule of getting more plants into your daily diet. Because as we all know by now (hopefully!), more plants equals more health.
You’ll learn what Plant Points are, how much plant makes up a point, what counts/doesn’t count as a Plant Point, answers to the most commonly asked questions about Plant Points, and you’ll get some handy worksheets helping you track just how much plant diversity you’re getting into your diet on a daily and weekly basis. I even whipped up a little challenge to go along with your sheets because who doesn’t love a good challenge?!
Both Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook are excellent starting points to establish the core tenets of gut health, but they are not intended to provide comprehensive education on the topic. The Plant Fed Gut Masterclass is a complete education, delivered over 7 weeks using videos and a workbook prepared by Dr. B over the course of a year. Additionally, the course will feature 27 exclusive recipes not found in either book.
You may know me as @TheGutHealthMD. I’m the New York Times bestselling author of Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook. An award winning gastroenterologist, and an internationally recognized gut health expert.
I’ve dedicated my life to learning how to heal the gut from the inside out.
I completed a bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University, an MD from Georgetown University, and a master’s in clinical investigation from Northwestern University.
I was also the chief medical resident at Northwestern and the chief gastroenterology fellow at UNC, and I received the highest award given by both my residency and fellowship.
I created this course so that YOU could begin the life-changing journey of healing your gut. I’ve cared for thousands of real people suffering with chronic digestive disorders. I get them better, but I always wish we could sit down for a long conversation and I would teach them everything I know. Now, FINALLY, I have a way to have that conversation with you, whether you are my patient or not. This is for the people seeking complete knowledge on gut health, who want to go beyond the book for complete understanding.
I’m honored to be your teacher and I hope you enjoy the training!
