Summary

Are millets actually better than rice for gut health? In this episode of Gut Feeling, I speak with Padma Shri Dr. Khader Valli, the “Millet Man of India,” about how millets, fiber, and fermented foods can support the gut microbiome, improve digestion, and help manage blood sugar and diabetes. We explore the science behind rice vs millets, gut bacteria, and why modern diets may be harming metabolic health. If you care about gut health, microbiome diversity, fiber-rich foods, and traditional Indian nutrition, this conversation is for you.
