Health Optimization Medicine Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Boomer Anderson, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Jodi Duval, and Dr. Allen Bookatz come together for a powerful HOMeHOPe Faculty roundtable exploring the gut — not just as a digestive organ, but as the root of mood, metabolism, immunity, and long-term vitality. This conversation blends systems biology, ancient medicine, and cutting-edge diagnostics to give you a radically holistic view of gut health and what it really takes to heal from within.

Join us as we delve into:
• How gut health influences brain function, mood, and clarity

• Probiotics, fiber, and the personalized approach to microbiome support

This episode is for you if:
• You're chasing mental clarity or performance through your gut
• You've tried "gut protocols" but still feel off
• You want a clinical, systems-based approach to GI health
• You're ready to go beyond buzzwords and into the real science of the microbiome
