Send a text

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.

Topics we cover in this episode:

• RFK Jr.’s new upside-down food pyramid vs. MyPlate and the ongoing saturated fat debate
• How low-fiber diets can cause diverticula and other issues in the colon
• What defines a healthy gut and why microbial diversity matters
• Strategies to improve gut health: fiber, hydration, plant-based foods, and fermented foods
• Pros and cons of probiotics, microbiome testing, and trendy detoxes
• Gender differences in the gut
• The most common gastrointestinal issues
• Red flags that require medical evaluation
• Rising rates of colon cancer in younger adults and potential contributing factors
