About this episode

Steven Wright discusses the importance of butyrate for gut health and its role in various bodily functions.

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by the microbiome—and it plays a foundational role in gut health, inflammation control, immune system regulation, and even brain function. The problem? Most people today are deficient due to poor microbiome health, low fiber tolerance, and chronic gut dysfunction. Steven breaks down how butyrate supports the integrity of the gut lining, fuels colon cells, regulates oxygen levels in the microbiome, and creates an environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive. Without it, even the best diets and supplements may fall short.
