117: Natropathic Dr. Mark Stengler: Gut Health is Whole-Body Health, Science-Backed Supplements, Key Nutrients and Hope for Healing
Jan 11, 2026 Season 3 Episode 117
Kery Knutson

While you've certainly heard the term "leaky gut" by now, Naturopathic Dr. Mark Stengler joins us in this conversation about the truth about gut health and his latest book titled, "The Holistic Guide to Gut Health." 

Join us as we discuss just how connected your gut is to your overall health. From skin issues, to mental health and the immune system - the gut is foundational to feeling well overall. 

Too often do I run into people who have a particular health concern, only to learn that they are neglecting their gut. 

The issue? Too much information to confuse the heck out of you is swarming their mind and having them follow every trend. 

In this episode, take it from a practicing medical doctor as we bust a few myths, dig into the science and talk supplement dosages and more.
