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.

These aren't exotic and bizarre. These are affordable, plant-forward foods that are downright delicious — and I choose them for a specific purpose, because they are so good for your gut. One of them actually grows on my kitchen counter.

What I'm sharing today is not a prescription. It's the five I reach for most often because each one does a specific job: fiber, polyphenols, healthy fats, fermented foods. Stack them together and you cover a lot of ground.

Your gut is paying attention to what you feed it. So feed it well.
