On this episode, Dr. Sadaf welcomes quadruple board-certified gastroenterologist, hepatologist, and obesity medicine specialist Dr. Kayin Jeffers to discuss everything you need to know about gut health, metabolic disease, and lifestyle medicine. Dr. Jeffers shares his expertise to clarify how visceral fat and systemic inflammation drive conditions like Metabolic Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) and colon polyps, the crucial role of dietary fiber in naturally stimulating the satiety hormone GLP-1, and how sleep deprivation disrupts hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin. These common gut health issues severely affect not only our day-to-day in midlife, but intimacy as well, so Dr. Sadaf and Dr. Jeffers also dive into how lifestyle modifications for preventing chronic GI illness, explain why perimenopause represents a critical window of opportunity for metabolic optimization.
