About this episode
Mike reached out to Dr. Baker to share his transformative health journey over the last seven years. From childhood, he experienced chronic stomach issues and anxiety related to his condition. Despite being an active athlete in college football and rugby, his gastrointestinal problems persisted into his 30s. As a Firefighter/Paramedic, he faced challenges due to his morning routines caused by these issues. After numerous medical tests and a late diagnosis of ulcerative colitis in his late 20s, Mike turned to dietary changes for relief. Transitioning from gluten-free to paleo, then to keto, he eventually found significant improvement by following a diet inspired by a Joe Rogan podcast, focusing on red meat and eggs.
