Acute inflammation is what happens when you sprain your ankle. Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a different beast. It’s the kind that runs quietly in the background for years, degrading your overall quality of life.

These 5 foods are likely the cause, and we have the peer-reviewed science to back it up. The good news? Your body is incredibly resilient, and small changes can make a world of difference.

Our food and water supply is besieged by plastic, and depending on how these products are packaged, processed, and heated, the effect of microplastics on our health can vary widely. We know they're not good for us, but how worried should we be?

Chuck and Dr. B break down what we know, and start building a case for reducing microplastics in our gut, blood, and brains. The good news: Brand new research from Australia shows that we can reduce the microplastics in our body by as much as 60% if we make these relatively simple lifestyle changes.

What does an anti-inflammatory diet actually look like in real life? In this video, I'm walking you through my full anti-inflammatory day of eating — every meal, every habit, and exactly why each one works to reduce inflammation and support your gut microbiome.

This isn't a cleanse, a detox, or a list of foods to give up. It's the sustainable eating pattern I use every single day — and the one behind my new book, Plant-Powered Plus.

What you'll learn:

-The best anti-inflammatory foods to eat at every meal

-How to hit 30g of fiber a day without thinking about it

-Why your leftovers are actually healthier the next day (resistant starch explained)

-The four foods that reduce inflammation: fiber, polyphenols, healthy fats, and fermented foods

-The post-meal habit that lowers blood sugar better than most supplements

-How your gut microbiome, circadian rhythm, and sleep all connect to chronic inflammation

-What to eat to reduce inflammation — breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks

If you've been searching for an anti-inflammatory meal plan, anti-inflammatory recipes, or just want to know what foods cause inflammation and how to avoid them — this video is your starting point.

The social media trend of "Fibermaxxing" seems to be everywhere, and the truth is: It's a very good idea. But as usual, Internet videos rarely explain the science.

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.

Collagen supplements are everywhere. They’re one of the most popular supplements in the world. And millions of people are taking them specifically for gut health.

But is there evidence to support that? And how does collagen compare to prebiotic fiber when you look at the actual published research?
