Episode 34: Gut Health with Kaveh Hoda, MD

In this episode of The Gynarchy Podcast, we talk with gastroenterologist and host of the House of Pod podcast, Dr. Kaveh Hoda, aka “fiber zaddy”, about gut health, the microbiome, and how to have a healthy digestive system without a fear of food. We cover practical strategies for improving gut health, common GI issues, and why certain trendy tests and detoxes may not be worth your time.

Dr. Hoda explains what makes a gut healthy, why fiber is essential, and how diet shapes the microbiome. He shares insights on the rising rates of colon cancer, red flags you should never ignore, and how to balance a diet that supports your gut while still enjoying food.
