One and ONLY gut health podcast - need your help guys!

[TeaMan]

Stu phillips, luc van loon, don layman when it comes to dietary protein/amino acids for example.

Andre koutnik and Ben bikman for insulin/insulin resistance.

eric trexler and herman pontzer when it comes to metabolic adaption, constrained energy model etc.

I’m not familiar with them. The question is: are they meeting the criteria? We really don’t need another generalized, “politically correct” doc that briefly touches the surface area of the subject. I hope you get what I mean by that.

“How do I know if I have a healthy or unhealthy gut?” I feel 99% are blindly chasing gut health by doing “the right things” but truly have no idea where they are actually at.

Speaking for me since about 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut. How often a person gets diseases or gets sick is one big indicator or gut health. If a person gets sick about as much as the average population then their gut health would be average. Which i tend to think is actually fairly poor health. As the average American in not that healthy IMO. If a person goes long times between days ill then they likely have better gut health then the population.

Infectious diseases and infections remain a leading cause of death in low-income countries and a major risk to vulnerable groups, such as infants and the elderly. The immune system plays a crucial role in the susceptibility, persistence, and clearance of these infections. With 70-80% of immune...

The idea is great, but we need to remember how lining up 4-5 people living in different time zones sometimes looks. Even a single podcast can take days or weeks (for some guests, months) to schedule. So even though it’s a great idea, it has to be what’s possible and practical.
This is why I don’t want a list of “Is an apple a great source of vitamin C?” questions—but ones that are freakishly hard to find answers for. Most listed questions are just 1-minute ChatGPT searches. I want to ask things that even they might not be sure about. For example, I want to create an episode with Kurt Heaven, Justin Harris, Dr. Scott Stevenson (and who else would you suggest to add—someone with a VERY STRONG opinion on the topic?) on HGH. Even though there are millions of HGH podcasts and info out there, there’s little real information—it’s just speculation, and everyone claims they’re right. Let’s line up some opposite camps on the topic and figure out once and for all what’s really important, what we truly know, what’s just assumption, real-world scenarios, and first-hand cases, etc.
I’m doing this FOR MONEY, guys. I didn’t spend the last 10 years on YouTube because it’s my hobby—I’m a coach myself. YouTube brings me clients, people use my codes to support me for what I provide—and I want to PROVIDE nothing but the best. I don’t want another bodybuilding podcast that’s just background noise while washing dishes. I want to give everyone REAL, PRACTICAL, and MOST IMPORTANTLY USEFUL information. Then I’d be at peace asking for support in return. I was taught not to earn just by taking, and that’s what I’m hoping to do with this podcast.

Put Phil Viz on with Kurt Havens

Any specific reason behind that?

Would probably make for some "entertaining" conversation. Justin is friends with Kurt so I don't know if there would be much differing/challenging of opinions. Phil is definitely not afraid to challenge others.

Also, Phil is kind of on both camps from the sounds of it. Believes in high dose growth (>10iu) for pushing new muscle gain, but also thinks dose/duration leads to negative physique changes.
