The #1 Gut Fix You’re Not Doing (But Should)

You’re eating clean. Sleeping 8 hours. Taking all the right supplements. But you still feel off—bloated, tired, inflamed. Why? In this episode of Extend, I sat down with Joel Greene, one of the most innovative minds in nutrition science and the creator of The Immunity Code, to uncover the truth behind why so many people are doing everything “right” and still not seeing results. We dive into what’s missing from most wellness plans—timing, synergy, and a gut-first approach to healing. Joel explains how certain bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila and Bifidobacteria act as keystone species for metabolic function, and why resetting your gut is the key to unlocking lasting health. From fasting stacks to nutrient synergy, we cover the science-backed tools that reset inflammation, optimize the microbiome, and help you finally feel good in your body again. This is the metabolic blueprint you’ve been missing.
