\u201cIt used humor and clarity to expose how pseudoscience often relies on fear, not facts,\u201d says Dr. Knurick. \u201cAnd showed that just because something is hard to pronounce doesn\u2019t mean it is harmful.

Read our full profile of Dr. Knurick here<\/a>.<\/p>\n What\u2019s your most controversial health take?<\/p>\n \u201cIn this era, so many. Seed oils aren\u2019t harmful; evidence shows they\u2019re beneficial when they replace saturated fat. Cane sugar isn\u2019t healthier than high fructose corn syrup; they\u2019re both refined sugars we should generally consume less of. Most supplements are a waste of money for people without specific deficiencies, yet they\u2019re heavily promoted by the same people who criticize Big Pharma, despite being far less regulated.\u201d \u2014Dr. Knurick<\/p>\n Dr. Will Bulsiewicz<\/p>\n Expertise: Gut health<\/p>\n Drew Somerville \/ Courtesy of Will Bulsiewicz (Photo)<\/p>\n Gastroenterologist and two-time New York Times best-selling author Will Bulsiewicz, MD (@theguthealthmd<\/a>), might credit his social media traction to a T-shirt that says, \u201cEat Plants. Take Epic Dumps.\u201d<\/p>\n But he\u2019s beloved because he translates complex gut science with a mix of clinical precision and genuine warmth\u2014breaking down immunology, fiber fermentation, and short-chain fatty acids with just the right combination of dad jokes and medical rigor to make gut-health information more\u2026digestible. Stool jokes aside, Dr. B\u2014as his followers call him\u2014is serious about his mission: to help people transform their digestive health, and in turn, their lives. His feed tackles everything from bloating to brain fog, and is full of tips for aging better and feeling lighter.<\/p>\n As the founder of 38tera (a daily gut multivitamin) Dr. B champions a \u201cfood as medicine\u201d approach. Instead of guilt trips and extremes, he focuses on more plants, less restriction, and making gut-healthy choices sustainable, not stressful. That also happens to be the focus of his forthcoming book Plant Powered Plus<\/a>, which publishes later this month. In a space crowded with quick fixes, Bulsiewicz stands out for championing slow, evidence-based progress and, perhaps most importantly, reminding you that good digestion is worth celebrating. If your feed could use more levity\u2014in your day and in your gut\u2014Dr. B is your guy. \u2014C.S.<\/p>\n What are three habits everyone should live by?<\/p>\n \u201cEat plants, lift heavy, and catch the sunrise. Feed your gut, build your body, and set your rhythm \u2013 those three habits never go out of style.\u201d \u2014Dr. Bulsiewicz<\/p>\n Dr. Karan Rajan<\/p>\n Expertise: Health and nutrition<\/p>\n Dr. Karan Rajan is \u201con a mission to save your microbiome.\u201d That\u2019s the slogan for LOAM, the next-gen fiber supplement brand he founded\u2014but it\u2019s also the through line of everything he posts, podcasts, and publishes.
