Dr. Greger’s words are one example of the inspiration that led me to author Gut Driven. I don’t have all the answers. You do, but I can support your decision to turn things around. I am not selling a magic elixir, and I certainly cannot transform your life, but I can help you shift gears. I will empower you with hope, my story, and practical advice and inspire you to make some substantial changes that, over time, will give you a renewed sense of optimism where your health is concerned.
