People ask me all the time what a gastroenterologist actually eats. Not the Instagram version. The real version. What’s on the counter, what’s in the fridge, what goes in the bowl most mornings.So today I’m going to show you the five foods I eat most days. These aren’t exotic and bizarre. These are affordable, plant-forward foods that I choose for a specific purpose — because every one of them earns its place on the basis of what it does for your gut. And one of them I grow on my kitchen counter.

Coffee is one of the most controversial topics in gut health. Some people swear it healed their digestion. Others say it destroyed it. And if you go looking for answers online, you'll find a doctor or an influencer to confirm whatever you already believe.

Today I want to cut through the noise and show you what the science actually says — who should be drinking coffee, who should probably avoid it, and what your morning cup of bean juice is really doing inside your colon. The answer isn't as simple as 'coffee is good' or 'coffee is bad.' It's more interesting than that.

Stress doesn’t just live in your head. It shows up in your gut.

That’s why during times of stress you might feel bloating, waves of cramps, diarrhea with urgency, clamming up constipation, or upper GI symptoms like nausea, indigestion, and reflux.

These aren’t random. They are all real life manifestations of the brain-gut axis.
