It's wild this time of year how different the weather patterns could be depending on where you live.

So I'm not quite in for it.

It's not that nice.

But yes, over the weekend, we did have some beautiful weather.

After three years of research, Jonathan, I am completely convinced that you cannot separate the gut microbiome from the immune system, that they rise and they fall together.

We see this in fecal transplant research that's emerging.

We see this in cancer treatment where if you support the gut microbiome, it actually improves the response to cancer therapy.

So it is a wild time and it is exciting because we have opportunities to heal by healing the gut.

Well, just to contextualize, my first book, Fiber Fueled, came out in 2020.

It was a surprise success.

I was a full-time medical doctor.

I did not expect to transition into a career as an author or working with Zoe.

And that set the stage for me where I have been blessed with a beautiful opportunity to write books that can impact the health of people that I've never met from across the globe.

So as I sat there and considered what do I want my next book to be, it actually was quite clear to me, Jonathan, that inflammation, to me, is the health-related story of our time.

I understand that we talk quite a bit about metabolism, obesity, or other health-related conditions.

I would actually make the argument that those fall under the umbrella of inflammation.

And as I was researching this topic over the course of three years, I asked a very basic question.

How many health conditions can I identify where I could stand before you on the Zoe podcast, I could stand before Tim Spector and Sarah Barry and have them scientifically critique me?

How many health conditions could I find where I have evidence to back me up and say this health condition is associated with inflammation?

And the answer was I found more than 130.
